FBI Official to Retire, Enter Private Law Firm
From a Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON —
John A. Mintz, the FBI’s executive assistant director for administration, will retire in May, after 25 years with the bureau, and will join the Los Angeles-based law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, officials said Thursday.
Mintz, 50, was named to one of the FBI’s three No. 2 posts last summer, after serving as the bureau’s general counsel for 12 years. Theodore B. Olson, who heads the law firm’s Washington office, said that Mintz’s “broad expertise overlaps a variety of what we’re doing.”
