An FBI Agent was fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey, according to Reuters.
Per Reuters: “An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a “perp walk” of the bureau’s former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said on Friday.”
Comey will be arraigned on October 9. His case was assigned to US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee.
MSNBC also confirmed that the FBI agent was fired for refusing to perp walk Comey in front of news cameras after he was indicted.
CBS News reported that the FBI “is considering carrying out a “showy” arrest and perp walk” of Comey and “suspended an agent who refused to participate in the plan.”
Last week former James Comey was indicted on two counts by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia – false statements and obstruction of justice.
