Another one bites the dust, this time David Laufman, chief of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence at DOJ.

More, and more people in the DOJ during the Obama administration are dropping like flies.

The people that have been stepping down are the ones that oversaw both the Clinton, and the Trump Russian collusion investigation.

Are people now willing to put 2, and 2 together?

If there is nothing to these "Republican attacks on the FBI/DOJ", why have so many leaving, or being pushed out?



Justice Dept. official who helped oversee Clinton, Russia probes steps down


A Justice Department official who helped oversee the controversial probes of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and Russian interference in the 2016 election stepped down this week.

David Laufman, an experienced federal prosecutor who in 2014 became chief of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, said farewell to colleagues Wednesday. He cited personal reasons.

Or he's just had enough of it all -- lol.

We can theorize a million scenarios and what do we know -- he says personal reason...do you know if he has cancer, his wife has cancer, he got offered a job making buckets more....none of us know...so all your theories aren't credible.

Even in your post -- you don't know if he is being 'squeezed out' -- or just leaving. It could very well be the attacks on the FBI means that no body who has half a brain can bother to work there and all you will get are puppets willing to play along with The White House as long as they have a pay check -- that seems to be Trump's goal right now.

My theory is as valid as yours.

Reading things into situations doesn't confirm anything.

The I. G. is the only one doing their job it seems. I'd like to see that report sooner rather than later.

Looks like they are doing some house cleaning to soften the blow before its released.
It doesn't look good for accountability. Someone is hoping the loss of their jobs will be enough.

No charges but for some scapegoat probably. That will leave a bad taste.

It could be just another purge by the POTUS. Who is trying to get people in to places where they will be loyal to him.

POTUS seems to have forgotten the oath he took a year ago.

You don't know that -- you completely made all of that up in your head.

If it leaves a bad taste it is from your own faulty conclusions -- lol.

I have no clue why this guy is leaving or if he is guilty of anything..

We don't know. You don't know any more than I do.

I believe you are seeing retirements. Just like in every other area of the economy.

After 31 years I took the money and benefits. These guys can do it after 20 years, then go private sector.

Yes, but your theory is ignorning the facts that are as plain as day.

It's not softening the blow, these people know what's coming, and are hoping that their leaving will allow them to escape without being fired, or prosecuted.

Probably accepted a higher paying job for a Russian-owned lobbying firm in Washington.

They usually give a minimum 2 week notice.
