A top FBI official with inside knowledge of Donald Trump's attempts to pressure James Comey to clear him in the Russia investigation has quietly been reassigned within the agency by Trump's handpicked FBI chief.
A senior FBI official who can reportedly verify that Donald Trump pressured former FBI Director James Comey to clear him in the ongoing investigation into Russian election interference was quietly reassigned by Trumps FBI director, according to an explosive new report by the Washington Post.
In a sudden and unexpected move, James Baker the FBIs top lawyer was just reassigned by FBI Director Christopher A. Wray.
Wray was installed as Trumps chosen FBI director after Comey was fired.
Baker has served as the head of the FBIs Office of General Counsel for years, but now the transfer is occurring as special counsel Robert Muellers investigation has secured several convictions and indictments of senior Trump campaign officials.
The Post notes that Baker is very close to Comey.

I get that the GOP itself and people like trump are not patriots, never were, never will be, etc. But their rank and file are going to end this country and on purpose.
