Collateral damage of the attacks on FBI

Many experienced, career professionals have already left the FBI as a result of Trump inspired attacks on the integrity of the institution:   Sally Yates, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and others whose names have not become as familiar.

Here's the latest resignation, from John Campbell, a supervisory special agent.  He announced his resignation in the New York Times on Friday:

"After more than a decade of service, which included investigating terrorism, working to rescue kidnapping victims overseas and being special assistant to the director, I am reluctantly turning in my badge and leaving an organization that I love.  Why?   So I can join the growing chorus of people who believe that the relentless attacks on the bureau undermine not just America's premier law enforcement agency but also the nation's security.  

"My resignation is painful, but the alternative of remaining quiet while the bureau is tarnished for political gain is impossible," Campbell concluded.
