Unsurprising but still stunning. The United States, Russia, Belarus, Hungary, North Korea and Israel vote together against Ukraine at the United Nations. Even Iran and China abstained. (The resolution passed with 93 countries supporting it.)

Slaughter on an industrial scale. Harrowing report as locals reveal the site of a mass grave thought to contain over 100,000 people. The healing that Syria and Syrians will need to go through is beyond human words.

[FBI Agents Association @FBIAgentsAssoc]

Statement from FBIAA President Natalie Bara on the resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray:

“FBIAA thanks Director Christopher Wray for his support for Special Agents, his leadership in the Bureau, and his service to his country. Director Wray has led the Bureau through challenging times with a steady focus on doing the work that keeps our country safe.

FBI Special Agents will always be focused on our vital mission—protecting this great nation, safeguarding communities and upholding the U.S. Constitution. This commitment is at the core of who we are as Special Agents, and it does not waver when there are changes in a presidential administration or when the leadership in the Bureau changes.

Our country faces a barrage of national security and criminal threats, making a stable transition of leadership in the Bureau essential to the safety of the American public. FBI Special Agents are at the core of the Bureau’s primary mission to protect our country from today’s most pressing threats, and it is important that the next director uphold the central role of the rank-and-file Special Agents in fulfilling this mission.

The FBIAA welcomes the opportunity to meet with President-elect Trump’s team to discuss the perspectives and priorities of rank-and-file FBI Special Agents.”
