Former FBI acting director Brian Driscoll; Steve Jensen, acting director in charge of the Washington Field Office; and special agent Walter Giardina were all purged from the FBI.
Driscoll, who served as acting director before Kash Patel was confirmed earlier this year, revealed his firing in an email to employees reported by NBC.
Driscoll aggressively pushed back against pressure to oust agents who had handled Capitol riot cases. He was fired short of retirement and therefore isn’t able to collect a full pension.
Giardina was involved in the contempt of Congress case against White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, who ultimately served four months behind bars after he spurned a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the riot.
For his work on the Navarro matter, Giardina had been in the crosshairs of Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who said on the Senate floor in April that the case was the work of a “merry band of partisans” at the FBI.
The disrespectful, soulless Giardino treated Navarro like a hardened criminal, putting him in leg irons and humiliating for not doing as the corrupt J6 panel ordered. They wanted him to appear before the panel so they could entrap him.
At least one of Hillary Clinton’s people didn’t show during the server scandal and nothing happened.
Jensen, who helmed the Washington Field Office, is also believed to have been involved in the bureau’s investigations of the Capitol riot.
Mr. Navarro claimed Giardano cleaned his laptop clean as did Hillary Clinton.
This was the son of a bitch that put me in leg irons, perp-walked my fiancée, apparently lied to the Grand Jury to secure my indictment. Karma’s a bitch.https://t.co/PB1UkjjI1V

Giardino was one of the worst.
The case of corrupt FBI agent Walter Giardina is highly instructive—mainly because most people have never even heard of him, despite the staggering amount of damage he caused. From Russiagate to the J6 witch hunt, Giardina left a trail of anti-Trump sabotage across multiple… pic.twitter.com/7s0TGuhTBJ

He was abusive to the black Trump supporter.
1/ This is how Corrupt Walter Giardina and the Biden FBI were.
Giardina came to my apartment, didn’t identify himself, trespassed, and accosted my 2 year old daughter just to try to subpoena me.
After he found out I called the cops on him, he filed assault charges. pic.twitter.com/ODSAwx75js

Firing a few people, 5 months late, is extremely deficient action. What damage did they do in those 5 months, similarly to Maureen Comey. We have still not seen a single criminal charge against any of the DOJ crooks, that is entirely unacceptable. Fire the DOJ leadership. We have had a serious criminal operation underway, which worked on coups, this… Read more »
They all seem to have that dumbazz look on their faces…cornered and caught and only dimly lit as to how and why this happened to them…
They ought to be put up in front of a firing squad.
Giardina is a chubby punk who like to abuse the little authority he had for all the wrong reasons. What an idiot. Learn to code, tubby punk. What a highly punchable fat face that prick has.
Just another minor taste of what people like Patel and Bondi have been doing to get rid of the bad eggs, and there are a lot of them!!!
The injustices and unAmerican behaviors of these leftists are totally unacceptable. They deserve whatever punishments apply.
