James Baker, the top lawyer at the FBI, has been reassigned, as the bureau comes under heightened scrutiny by congressional Republicans

James Baker, the FBI's leading lawyer who was a confidante of fired FBI Director James Comey, has been reassigned from his post, as the agency's top personnel are under high scrutiny.

Baker told colleagues he will assume different duties for the bureau, the Washington Post reported.

Baker oversees the bureau's Office of General Counsel, and has received such awards as the George H.W. Bush Award for Excellence in counter-terrorism in 2006.

He also was the subject of a leak investigation over the summer after Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered a crackdown on leakers.

  1. Rumor has it he will become the Under Assistant Director for monitoring the procurement of toilet cleaning supplies in subbasement level three. A job for which he would seem under qualified.

  2. As skeptical as I have been about draining the swamp, and still am somewhat. It does appear progress is being made. From reports, hundreds of entrenched bureaucrats, have resigned from the EPA and State Department. However, the Russian’s did it, isn’t working, democrats “Impeach Trump,” is not going anywhere. I fear they will get desperate. That “insurance policy” is assumed to be the fake Trump dossier. But what if it much darker? The FBI and intelligence services setting up a plan to remove President Trump, through assassination?

      Wouldn't doubt it for a second, not to say everyone in the agencies would be in on it, but a select few.
