Kyle Sampson: Serial Sniper for the DOJ?

Fred Black, longtime Interim US Attorney, District of Guam, and Carol Lam, US Attorney, Southern District of California, were each removed from office after filing corruption charges against key Republicans. Fred Black was removed from office immediately upon opening an investigation into a hornet’s nest of activities on the part of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Carol Lam was targeted for dismissal shortly after she announced her investigation of former Representative and current felon Randy “Duke” Cunningham.

Kyle Sampson initiated both of the firings. Throw into the mix a single, outspoken and now outgoing career FBI agent. Coincidence? We think not.

Dan Dzwilewski, a 27 year FBI veteran announced his resignation from the FBI in April of this year. Dzwilewski had served at the helm of the San Diego office since July of 2003. During his tenure, his office investigated the corruption case of Duke Cunningham as well as the many “spin-offs” that resulted.

The announcement of Dzwilewski’s resignation came just months after he was reprimanded by superiors for his pointed comments to the San Diego Journal Tribune about the Lam firing:

However, she did discuss the matter with at least one law enforcement colleague. Dan Dzwilewski, head of the FBI office in San Diego, said he spoke to Lam several times yesterday and he feels the criticism and the way the situation was handled are unfair.

“I don't think it's the right way to treat anybody. What's the decision based on?” Dzwilewski said. “I don't share the view of whoever's making the decision back there in Washington that they'd like her to resign. I feel Carol has an excellent reputation and has done an excellent job given her limited resources.”
