Вчерашнее увольнение Питера Строка, специалиста по борьбе с российскими спецслужбами, продолжило зачистку руководства ФБР. Строка уволили решением дирекции несмотря на внутреннюю рекомендацию ограничить его наказание временным отстранением от работы. Это законно, но нарушает прежнюю практику.

Deeply saddened by this decision. It has been an honor to serve my country and work with the fine men and women of the FBI. https://t.co/iET9SbeTrv pic.twitter.com/7VTswzjoxE

Решение принял David Bowdich, последний из руководства ФБР при Коми, кто сохранил свою работу. Он был повышен в должности до заместителя директора.

Когда на брифинге в Белом доме директора ФБР Рэя спросили про нападки на Мюллера, он был краток.

Q I have a question for Director Wray. Thank you. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has indicted more than 20 Russian officials based on work by the FBI for meddling in the 2016 elections.
Now the President has tweeted that that investigation by the Special Counsel is a hoax and should be shut down. I know you’ve said that you don’t believe it is a hoax. But why would the American people believe what you’re saying about the FBI when the President says that the investigation by the Special Counsel is a hoax, and when the Press Secretary, yesterday, said that there was a lot of corruption within the FBI? Do you have any response to those statements coming from the White House?
DIRECTOR WRAY: Well, I can assure the American people that the men and women of the FBI, starting from the Director all the way on down, are going to follow our oaths and do our jobs.
