He was too busy partying to bother to learn who he'd fired.

@georgetakei Inside US borders, the FBI is responsible for counterintelligence.

So if the FBI director is personally involved in firing people, he really ought to know what kind of expertise he's kicking out the door. And he really should have sense enough to refresh his memory on that before showing up to a hearing he knows will ask about the dismissals.

Unless, of course, he's an arrogant fraud.
