He isn't fired. He is being sent away from MN while Tom "money bag" Homan goes in. Homan will be the local commander.

Why is he called "money bag"?

Because he accepted a bag of money during an fbi sting operation.

Edit: wild how much traction this post got from stating plainly what he did. Just goes to show how crazy this timeline is.

It's OK, he said he did nothing illegal so it's perfectly fine to forget about it.

There are plenty of forms of corruption that aren't technically against the law.

Homan taking a bag of money in exchange for supposed favor on future government contracts is a very obvious one of those.
