A top FBI official has stepped down just as House Republicans have announced plans to investigate recent operations and actions at the bureau.
In a Dec. 2 post to his LinkedIn profile, Steven D’Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, announced his retirement.
“After a 26-year, 10-month career with the FBI, I chose to retire,” D’Antuono wrote. “Yesterday was my last day.”
Attributing the decision to wanting to spend more time with his family, he added, “Deciding to retire was not easy, it is extremely difficult to say farewell to the mission and the wonderful people I work with, but in making my decision I knew it is time to hand the reins over to the next generation of FBI employees.”News of D’Antuono’s retirement comes just weeks after Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee named him as one of nine FBI employees they would “require prompt testimony” from as they seek to investigate potential political bias at the bureau.
“Over the past twenty-one months, we have made several requests for information and documents concerning operations and actions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the congressmen wrote in a Nov. 12 letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
“To date, you have ignored these requests, or you have failed to respond sufficiently,” the letter continues. “Please be aware that if our requests remain outstanding at the beginning of the 118th Congress, the Committee may be forced to resort to compulsory process to obtain the material we require.”
So far, the committee has requested testimony from at least 42 Biden administration officials, including employees in the Justice Department, Department of Education, Department of Homeland Security, and the White House.

At a Nov. 17 press conference announcing the investigation, incoming Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) said evidence had been uncovered that indicates Biden lied about his knowledge of and participation in those deals.
“As part of our investigation, we have evidence that the finances, credit cards, and bank accounts of Hunter and Joe Biden were commingled, if not shared,” Comer noted.
Commentary:
FBI agents respond to duties handed to them from above, including the head of the FBI and the head of the DOJ and the president, and the congressional leaders in the house and senate.
All of the high-end government officials are responsible for the corruption that has been ongoing for more than a decade now, and it’s time to get at them.
I’m not sure what they’re afraid of. Ultimately, even if there are any criminal charges, a D.C. Democrat jury would never find them guilty.
What's to worry about? Even if GOP Congressmen find criminal doing, they will send their findings to the Department of Justice. There Merrick Garland will bury the evidence so deep it will never come to light.
Update: Steven D’Antuono, Former assistant director at the FBI recently retired and has joined CBS as guest speaker.
