God forbid a law enforcement attorney wants to enforce the law against hostile actors like Flynn.

He was fired.

Shouldn't have been, but he was.

There were no FISA warrants on Flynn. WTF.

Well, this is reason enough....

"Boente signed one of the warrants renewing the FBI's authority to surveil Flynn. The warrants, known as FISA warrants, were renewed several times and had to be approved by a judge."

This NEVER happened. There were never any FISA warrants on Flynn. I don't know if the reporter screwed up, or if someone took bad information from the source, but that is an outright falsehood.

So Boente was fired twice.

And when Trump fires Wray, does he even remember what happened the last time he fired the head of the FBI?

As the FBI GC, Boente was career, not an appointee. Not directly fireable by Trump or Barr. Or by Lou Dobbs

They don't care, they fired him anyway. On a Friday while the country burns. Fox News is firing career government employees.

Sad.

Not sure that is correct. They may be in a different category.

It is correct. Boente is career. He can be reassigned, but not fired.

What about for cause?

It would need to go through a standards review, which usually take months/years.

And, Wray/Barr/Trump wouldn't want that because it would force Boente to provide the goods on his work. Under oath.

The article has been corrected.
He might have agreed to retire, but he was not fired. He will finish out on June 30. I imagine he has no desire to deal with the current administration’s BS. He’s likely ready to go fishing or golf. F this noise.

Barr asked for his resignation. He gave it, he resigned.

Most people understand that to mean that he's fired.
