NBC: FBI's top lawyer, Dana Boente, ousted amid Fox News criticism for role in Flynn investigation
Boente was asked to resign on Friday and two sources familiar with the decision to dismiss him said it came from high levels of the Justice Department rather than directly from FBI Director Christopher Wray.
After a 38-year career with the Justice Department, the FBI's top lawyer Dana Boente was asked to resign on Friday. Two sources familiar with the decision to dismiss Boente said it came from high levels of the Justice Department rather than directly from FBI Director Christopher Wray.
His departure comes on the heels of recent criticism by Fox News for his role in the investigation of former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
A spokesman for the FBI confirmed to NBC News that Boente did in fact resign on Friday.
Fox News has recently criticized Boente's role in the investigation of Flynn, whose criminal charge for lying to the FBI was recently dropped by the Justice Department based in part on the argument that his lies were not material to an underlying investigation.

WNU Editor: FOX Is not the reason why he is out of a job. Considering how the Flynn case was handled and all the abuses pertaining to FISA being disclosed. Yeah. His days were numbered.

No justice. No vote.
Someone needs to go to jail for these outrageous abuse of powers
Who would've guessed that benign evil can look like an 150 year old tortoise.
Yes Jail! I am demanding that from my rep! Also want $$ back - LOL demanding knowing that won’t happen.
Dana J. Boente resigned so far without getting charged. That makes us all angry.
Think of it as a game of Jenga or a Gordian knot. You have to get people to defect from the side of evil. You have to break them up like the 1st shot in pool.
Some people think or know that Boente will back them up. He might not now. Or he might, but his testimony will be viewed by suspicion by the jury. So people depending on Boente in office politics or possibly in the court room have had a leg of support kicked out from under him.
Of course that approach might be or is too go slow and will let the bulk of the perpetrators go away scot free.
The Parrot crowed and thumped his chest like a silverback, when Flynn plead guilty.
Where is parrot now?
Hiding form the truth. Hiding from אלוהים like a liberal.
