The FBI employee was fired on the first day of the government shutdown as Trump threatened more terminations.
FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday fired an agent in training for displaying a gay pride flag on his desk while appointed to a field office in California last year, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The trainee, who previously worked as an FBI support specialist in Los Angeles, received a letter — dated Oct. 1 and signed by Patel — claiming he had displayed an improper “political” message in the workplace during his assignment in California under President Joe Biden, according to a copy of the letter shared with MSNBC.
The letter cited President Donald Trump’s Article II powers under the Constitution to dismiss federal agency career personnel, a justification used in several recent firings at the Department of Justice and FBI. The terminations are currently being challenged in several lawsuits.
Hey! Hey guys, hear me out. We should have a Catholic priest run something. Like maybe National air traffic control.
Every day a pilot, after the routine checks must then have do the cross signing thing before they start up the engine. Three hail Mary’s before the plane moves.
Stuff like that just makes my day happier. Having to watch an adult do dumb things because it pleases an invisible flying man who we cannot communicate with, it just makes my day.
Let’s have more goat sacrifices and describe the stars as souls so the space station stays up there.
