All have either been reassigned, asked to resign, or resigned amidst the turmoil over the handling of their Hillary Clinton probe, and their subsequent investigation of Trump campaign members.
These are not newly appointed people who didn't work out or political operatives who are expendable. These are all career law enforcement people who are being personally affected by things that are being drawn to light by both Congressional probes, as well as speculation (or leaks) about what may be coming out in the upcoming Inspector General report due in the next couple of months.
These people are not being demoted or let go because unfounded and unrelated accusations from years ago, but rather because of specific actions they took (or oversaw) as a member of the country's law enforcement community. One has to wonder if this is an inclusive list, or just the tip of the iceberg.

tip of the iceberg.
Case of the vapors there? Pretty trivial list.
Don't think it's a trivial list. They're not just rogue rank and file agents.
They were part of the senior leadership.
A Justice Department official who helped oversee the controversial probes of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and Russian interference in the 2016 election stepped down this week.
David Laufman, an experienced federal prosecutor who in 2014 became chief of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, said farewell to colleagues Wednesday. He cited personal reasons.

Yes, a deputy director, chief of counterintelligence...
I guess it's not as important as say, a White House Staff Secretary that everyone on the left is getting their collective undies in a bunch over?
Trump says lives are being ruined ‘by a mere allegation’ as domestic abuse claims swirl
And I say people should not beat their wife, molest women or children and stop claiming to be innocent when you have nothing to prove it....
A most interesting read of the complete incompetence of trump and his piss poor appointees....just a small sample the rest can be found at

Tenure is irrelevant. Kirstjen Nielsen has only been secretary of homeland security for a couple of months, but we already know her as the woman who tried to support her boss by claiming she wasn’t sure whether Norway was a predominately white country.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar just got appointed, so we probably can’t blame him for the fact that the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was investing in tobacco company stock. However, Azar’s mission is supposed to be bringing down prescription prices, and his main qualification is having run the American division of a drug company during the five years when the price of its insulin rose from $122 to $274 a vial.
So many targets, so little time!!!!!
