Brian Driscoll New Temp head of FBI?

Not much out there on this new guy...Wray's replacement Temp director Abbate resigned unexpectedly earlier today. This is Trump's pick as temporary director. Says he's was part of 'FBI's SWAT', as in HRT perhaps. I found him as a grad of Pepperdine w/2 degrees; He worked in NCIS in the 2000s-that's about it.

Semi-protected edit request on 8 March 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Federal Bureau of Investigation. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Supervisory Special Agent Unit Chief Assistant Section Chief Section Chief Deputy Assistant Director Assistant Director Executive Assistant Director Associate Deputy Director Deputy Director Director

ALL of the position is above work at FBI HQ in Washington DC a nd either manage programs or people, or both. 144.86.205.1 (talk) 00:59, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
