Two ¶¶ from the bio of Catherine Herrera in the FBI Agent lawsuit against Kash Patel for illegally firing them. Remember Iran tried to target Trump in 2024. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
46. In 2018, the FBI promoted Herrera to supervise a team of analysts focused on Iran
counterintelligence. After Iranian general Qasem Soleimani’s death, Herrera’s team helped lead
the FBI’s effort to identify and neutralize potential retaliatory attacks by Iran against the United
States. In that role, Herrera worked with the Secret Service to uncover and prevent assassination
attempts against President Trump.
47. In late 2022, Herrera returned to WFO to serve as the supervisor of the Intelligence
squad. By the time that then-Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack
Smith to oversee the Plasmic Echo investigation in November 2022, Herrera and approximately
half of the Intelligence squad had been assigned to support the Special Counsel’s Office full-time.
By mid-2024, the members of Herrera’s team had largely wound down their work on Plasmic Echo
and returned to working on counterespionage cases.

This is an absurd prayer for relief. I've never seen anything like this. I don't even understand how you can ask for this, and I can't imagine this goes anywhere beyond creating confusion. It's an extremely irresponsible action that further undermines the legitimacy of the Justice Department.

Tonight is my final debate with Susan Collins. I’ve invited her to many town halls during this campaign. She hasn’t shown up to a single one. After 25 years without hosting one herself, “Our Senator” is long overdue to answer to the Mainers living with the consequences of her votes.
