Ex-FBI Chief Sues DoJ Over Trump Foe Probes

Former Chicago FBI chief Douglas DePodesta sued the DOJ Monday, alleging he was forced out for taking the blame when the Broadview Six case collapsed. The suit names U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros, Kash Patel, Todd Blanche, and the FBI and DOJ themselves, which is a lot of names for one resignation. I ran a boutique for years, and when I let a manager go, the paperwork fit on one clipboard. Boutros dropped the charges against the six protesters in May, and grand jurors twice declined to indict, which is two more nos than most of my vendors get. Boutros has previously denied politics played a role, and the DOJ and FBI didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Judge April Perry wants Boutros and three assistant U.S. attorneys under oath on Nov. 16, where 'no comment' is not an option.
