The Best People with Nicolle Wallace · Brian Driscoll on the Hollowing Out of the FBI: "It's Devastating” · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

Mm-hmm.

Provided options like these existing processes, DOJ-led review was all we were met with.

And so I put up, I don't want to use the term resistance, but I offered those solutions and was not met with anything in writing or verbally to reflect that those were the processes that the names would be subjected to.

He never said that it was with the intent to fire them.

However, to hand over a list while also having digested all the rhetoric coming from outside of our building, elsewhere in the executive branch and elsewhere in the government.

I, again, made a personal assessment and decided I was unwilling unless it was told to me that it was a legal order.

to submit the true names of almost, if not more than 6,000 FBI employees who worked those sensitive investigations against the people that were held responsible.

Agents, analysts, and professional staff, some of whom were threatened by those people who we held accountable that were responsible for those events.

without full confidence that I wasn't walking them to the edge of a cliff of their employment to watch somebody else kick them off.

Also, to potentially risk having their true name compromised, released, and then the threats to them and their families.

I was not willing to tolerate that.

Now, eventually, I was surrounded by very brilliant attorneys on the FBI side, a lot of former prosecutors who reflected that,

after I was internally very resistant and I was willing to provide a list with one name, my own.

And I'm not saying that to be like, look at me, I'm a martyr.

Not at all.

Yeah.

Now I was surrounded by very wise counsel that said, you know what's going to happen as soon as you do that.

So yeah, and I'm at peace with that.

However, it was explained to me, A, it's a legal order.

You have to follow the order.
