Articles like this are always self serving. We only know details that the author chose to expose and we only have the authors word that those were the only and true reason for the action.

I am skeptical that I am hearing a complete and true accounting of the facts and reasons for the action.

Note that I am not impugning the author, but everyone is the hero or the victim of their own story, and even if everything said was a true and complete accounting of the author’s experience, there might have been reasons (good or nefarious) for the action that were not disclosed to them.

What is the reason you wrote your comment?

Like, if life were a narrative, who would you be?

Look at the other comments. The trend in the other comments is that the article was accepted as a true and accurate representation of events and that therefore the current FBI administration is corrupt and has politicized the bureau.

That might or might not be true, but the article is almost certainly biased to support that narrative, true or not. I was cautioning that the article not be taken on faith.
