FBI fires Whitmer kidnap case agent Richard Trask
[DetroitNews] The FBI has fired one of the lead agents credited with thwarting a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer after he was charged with beating his wife following a swingers party, The Detroit News has learned.

The firing of Special Agent Richard Trask earlier this week comes amid questions about agent misconduct and whether as many as 12 informants were driving the alleged conspiracy.

Trask was fired, according to a source familiar with his case, while awaiting trial on a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm and allegations he smashed his wife's head against a nightstand and choked her after a dispute...

#1 The firing of Special Agent Richard Trask earlier this week comes amid questions about agent misconduct and whether as many as 12 informants were driving the alleged conspiracy.

Appears our FBI man Special Agent Trask was conducting an anti-Trump criminal conspiracy. Mueller, Comey, and Wray must surely be appalled.

#2 They fired him for misdeeds in his personal life (that he has not yet been convicted of) so his misdeeds at his day job don't get an airing in court.

#5 On the subject of "embarrassments" and potential connections to upper level "bosses", I hope former Special Agent Trask is taking the necessary security precautions.

#6 ... questions about agent misconduct and whether as many as 12 informants were driving the alleged conspiracy.

Last I looked there were 26 people involved in the "conspiracy" to kidnap Gov. Whitmer and set her adrift in a boat on Lake Michigan. (Seriously, who the f**k came up with that idea?)

Twelve out of twenty six were on the FBI payroll, including the #2 guy who provided money and hotel arrangements. Roughly half. It would be interesting to know how many Feebs were employed on the back end of this "conspiracy".

#7 Does fire mean cover-up?

#8 Reportedly fired for running an "unapproved side business" (personal trainer).
By the rules, he now can not be compelled to testify to Congress now.
Which was the point.
