While incoming FBI Director Kash Patel sat in front of a Senate subcommittee for his hours-long confirmation hearing yesterday, the housecleaning at the FBI was well underway.
According to a CNN report, “At least six FBI leaders” have been removed or told to resign by Monday.
This adds to the purge that took place this week at the Department of Justice, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
At least a dozen employees at the DOJ were fired on Monday, mainly those involved in the political prosecutions levied against President Trump during “the Pause” between his administrations.
At the NLRB, President Trump fired both General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo and Gwynne Wilcox, the Democrat board member appointed by Joe Biden.
Commissioners Charlotte Burrows and Jocelyn Samuels at the EEOC were fired as well, the first firing by a President since the board’s creation under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
A missing seat already leaves just two members, falling short of a quorum and rendering the commission ineffective.
FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin revealed last night that the purge went beyond the six Executive Assistant Directors; it also included 25 Special Agents in Charge.
According to Seraphin, there are three individual leadership positions at the top of the FBI: the Director, the Deputy Director, and the Associate Deputy Director.
Below that, there are seven “branch heads” known as Executive Assistant Directors, while the Special Agents in Charge (SACs) lead each of 56 field offices across the country.

One of those SACs, according to Seraphin, was Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans, who led the field office in Las Vegas, Nevada, and who recently spearheaded the investigation into the alleged suicide of a Green Beret who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside of the Trump Hotel on New Year’s Day.
He was also the SAC that denied Seraphin his religious exemption from the COVID vaccine, which in part led to his indefinite suspension.
Seraphin also mentioned the widespread terminations of a group of former agents known as “The Suspendables,” which include former agents Steve Friend and Garrett O’Boyle.
O’Boyle was suspended in September 2022 after he blew the whistle on the FBI using threat tags to target pro-life individuals after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Friend blew the whistle over the exaggeration of statistics regarding the threat of domestic terrorism, as well as the overzealous tactics used against Jan 6 protesters by the bureau.
NBC News published a story regarding “The Suspendables” yesterday claiming that “some former officials [are] concerned about the potential injection of partisan politics at the top of an agency that has traditionally had only one political appointee: the director himself.”
Seraphin told NBC that incoming director Kash Patel keeps up to date with “The Suspendables.”
“There’s a potential that Kash Patel could be the most loved FBI director by the actual people of the FBI; he could be the real thing that Jim Comey pretended to be,” Seraphin told NBC.
During the podcast, Seraphin alluded to Patel already being in charge of the FBI, but acknowledged Brian Driscoll as the acting Director.
Driscoll was the Special Agent in Charge in the New Jersey Field Office and a former HRT commander during the FBI raids at Mar-a-Lago in 2022.
