During the course of the investigation, some FBI officials involved with the
Midyear investigation retired or changed positions. In late 2015, Coleman became
the EAD of the FBI Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch and was no
longer involved in the Midyear investigation. At the same time, E.W. (“Bill”)
Priestap replaced Coleman as AD of the Counterintelligence Division. EAD
Giacalone and DD Giuliano retired from the FBI in early 2016 and were replaced by
Michael Steinbach and Andrew McCabe, respectively

Former President Obama’s comments caused concern among FBI officials
about the potential impact on the investigation. Former EAD John Giacalone told
the OIG, “[W]e open up criminal investigations. And you have the President of the
United States saying this is just a mistake…. That’s a problem, right?” Former AD
Randy Coleman expressed the same concern, stating, “[The FBI had] a group of
guys in here, professionals, that are conducting an investigation. And
the…President of the United States just came out and said there’s no there there.”
Coleman said that he would have expected someone in FBI or Department
leadership to contact one of Obama’s national security officials, and “tell [him or
her], hey knock it off.” Michael Steinbach, the former EAD for the National Security
Branch, told the OIG that the comments generated “controversy” within the FBI.
Steinbach stated, '''“[Y]ou’re prejudging the results of an investigation before they
really even have been started…. That’s…hugely problematic for us.”'''
