Yeah, I saw that.
The sheer ineptitude of the new administration borders on comical at times.
Exhibit A: The Trump administration accidentally listed the wrong person as the acting director of the F.B.I.
>>>Mr. Driscoll’s
appointment was an accident. Shortly after President Trump’s inauguration, the White House identified the wrong agent as acting director on its website and never corrected the mistake.<<<
Brian Driscoll was accidentally catapulted into the acting director’s chair on Jan. 20 and has defended the bureau from the potential of mass firings, inspiring memes and satirical clips.

This appears to be a double "doh" because Driscoll has both principles and a spine:
>>>In a defiant email Friday night, James Dennehy, the top agent in the New York field office, warned his staff that the F.B.I. was “in the middle of a battle of our own.” Praising Mr. Driscoll and his deputy, Robert C. Kissane, as “warriors,” Mr. Dennehy asserted they were “fighting for this organization.”
. . . .
Friends and colleagues describe Mr. Driscoll as unflappable. He was a special agent with the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service in San Diego before joining the F.B.I. in 2007. His first assignment was in the New York office, the largest outpost in the bureau, where agents form powerful alliances and deep connections.
In 2011, he passed rigorous tryouts and was selected to the F.B.I.’s Hostage Rescue Team, a highly trained unit formed in the years after the massacre at the Munich Olympics in 1972. Many operators were once in the U.S. military and served in the Joint Special Operations Command.<<<
