You can't make this shit up folks!
"When the Director asked me to stay on past my mandatory date for a brief time, I did so to help ensure continuity and the best transition for the FBI. Now, with new leadership inbound, after nearly four years in the deputy role, I am departing the FBI today," Abbate wrote in the letter, according to the Associated Press, which obtained a copy of the email.
Abbate had been running the FBI for only one day after Wray stepped down as director on Sunday. Wray was named by Trump during his first term and had been director for more than seven years. He announced his retirement when Trump said he wanted Kash Patel to be the director.
Yeah, he makes it sound like he did everyone a big favor by acting as the director for a whole day. Of course Trump and his team already has replacements installed up the chain while they wait for Patel to be confirmed. But this is the sort of shit show that the FBI has become. I am guessing it was all sort of planned to disrupt things as Trump took over, but lord forbid the FBI works like a well oiled machine.
