Quote:The FBI agent credited with thwarting the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has been fired from the agency after domestic violence allegations were levied against him.

According to The Detroit News, Special Agent Richard Trask was fired last week while awaiting trial on charges of assault with intent to do bodily harm and allegations that he beat his wife’s head against a nightstand following an argument caused by a swingers party they attended.

The firing of the law enforcement officer comes amid questions concerning potential misconduct by the FBI during the kidnapping investigation, and whether as many as 12 informants were driving the alleged conspiracy.

Trask was dropped as a witness for the FBI following comments he made on social media calling former President Donald a “douchebag” and a “piece of s---.”

The arrest and subsequent firing come as defense lawyers representing the accused attempted kidnappers began planning their legal strategy, which includes attacking the credibility of the FBI agents involved in the case. The defense team also plans on alleging the FBI informants, including Trask, entrapped the defendants.

The trial will not be conducted until December at the earliest, and the defense team may still attempt to call Trask as a witness despite the FBI dismissing him for the prosecution.

I hope Trash doesn't complicate his standing as a moral fbi agent, er, ex-fbi agent by lying on the stand about the Witless case after being charged with domestic violence to boot.

How stupid must one be to have a high profile government position and still engage in a swingers lifestyle?

How stupid was the FBI for allowing this guy to be the lead agent even though he publicly had posted his bias against Trump.

Well, stupid enough to know that they removed him from their list of witnesses in the hopes the defense wouldnt call him. Now they have to fire him over this.

Not sure they are going to get anything more than a misdemeanor to stick in that case.

Dopamine is a hell of a drug.

Getting men divorced since 150,000 BC.

...for nothing at all to do with the Whitmer case.

Are you surprised that the FBI allowed this, because I'm not. Yet another tolerant lefty in the alphabet agency ranks, just like his old FBI co-worker Peter Strzok.

Not surprising since it was an FBI plot in the first place. They will do whatever they can to try to cover it up.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was suicided because of the stress brought on from losing his wife and being fired. At least that’s a solid story as to why. They can also now paint him as a disgruntled ex-employee on any testimony he gives or, if he gives testimony that benefits the fbi, it makes him more believable because he would have no reason to lie for them. Then they rehire him with a promotion.

I assumed you were saying he already was.
