Wave of resignations expected at DOJ and FBI after Comey indictment

#BREAKING | A wave of potential resignations is anticipated among personnel at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI following the federal indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on charges of making false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The indictment was announced on Thursday.

Sources within the agencies report an internal crisis, with career officials expressing ethical concerns regarding the politically charged nature of the prosecution. Troy A. Edwards Jr., Comey"s son-in-law and a senior national security prosecutor in Virginia"s Eastern District, has already resigned. In his resignation letter, he stated that his decision upholds his "oath to the Constitution and country."

MSNBC justice correspondent Ken Dilanian reported that many individuals within the DOJ feel they can no longer function effectively and are seeking to leave the agency. He noted that "almost everyone I talk to who has the ability to leave is trying to leave." This situation reflects a broader sentiment of unrest within the DOJ and FBI in light of the recent developments surrounding Comey"s indictment.
