He probably hates this FBI desk job. Now he has an excuse to leave and can tell his followers that he got out of the swamp and how bad it is etc. and he comes out a winner.

He was already whining about having a real job on Fox a few months ago. Now he can leave, but the secret is to keep the MAGAs in tow.

mythology around this shit for so long that they have genuinely convinced themselves it's nothing but Dems.
