Amid these firings, Driscoll reportedly sent an email, reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, instructing every FBI field office to compile a list of all personnel—past and present—who played a role in the investigations and prosecutions related to January 6th. The deadline for submission was set for Tuesday, February 4th.
Driscoll Faces Internal Backlash
Despite these directives, insiders say Driscoll himself is now in a precarious position. Reports indicate that he has refused to comply with orders to turn over the full list of FBI agents and officials involved in the January 6th investigations—an action that has placed him at odds with the Justice Department.
According to NBC News, Driscoll flatly rejected a DOJ directive to assist in the firing of agents tied to the Jan. 6 cases. His strong opposition to the demand reportedly led to speculation among FBI officials that he was at risk of being removed from his post. However, the Justice Department ultimately refrained from taking action against him.
Driscoll did confirm the removal of eight senior FBI executives, a move ordered by Emil Bove, who currently serves as the acting Deputy Attorney General and previously represented Trump as a defense attorney. However, he stopped short of confirming whether he would comply with the broader request to identify all officials involved in the politically charged investigations.
Growing Concerns Over Political Targeting
Driscoll’s refusal to provide names has added fuel to concerns that the Biden-era Justice Department weaponized federal agencies to target Trump allies and January 6th defendants. Many see the mass firings and forced resignations as a direct effort to dismantle the FBI’s previous leadership and install a new structure more aligned with Trump’s administration.
Critics argue that the demand for FBI personnel lists could expose law enforcement officials to political retaliation, while supporters insist it is necessary to clean house after years of what they see as politically motivated investigations.

The broader list of FBI employees involved in Jan. 6 investigations includes thousands of personnel, including Driscoll himself. His reluctance to comply with the DOJ’s orders suggests internal resistance to what some see as a political purge within the bureau.
What Comes Next?
As the battle between the FBI and the Justice Department intensifies, all eyes are on Driscoll and whether he will hold firm against pressure from Washington. With more high-level departures expected in the coming days, the question remains: Will Driscoll continue to resist, or will the administration find a way to push him out?
For now, the fate of many FBI officials remains uncertain as the Trump administration moves forward with its plans to overhaul the agency. One thing is clear—this battle is far from over.
