FBI Director Christopher Wray has defrocked and demoted embattled deputy director Andrew McCabe, according to FBI sources.
McCabe, who has been a lightning rod of controversy in the last two years, is no longer running the show at the FBI as far as manning his previous sweeping daily responsibilities.
Under ex-FBI director James Comey, McCabe had unilateral control of the FBI, including counter terrorism. According to sources, that is no longer the case.
McCabe’s workload has been transferred among other Bureau hierarchy, according to FBI sources.
This internal demotion likely sets the stage for McCabe’s departure from the FBI, according to sources who say that an investigation by the United States Office of the Inspector General into McCabe’s dealings with Hillary Clinton’s campaign have yielded troubling revelations.
Indeed, your powers of deduction are staggering, notice me senpai.

So the gist of the article is that the guy who was Acting Director of the FBI (which means running the entire FBI) but is no longer the Acting Director (which means no longer running the entire FBI) has had the duties of running the entire FBI taken away from him and has gone back to being a Deputy Director, a position in which the job is not running the entire FBI.
How shocking.

I suppose. I guess I still don't see how it's what the OP tries to make it out to be. The Deputy Director did what Deputy Directors do when there's no Director. Now there's a Director, so the Deputy Director is back to...doing what Deputy Directors do when there is a Director. It's not a demotion, because Acting Director is a collateral duty for the Deputy when there's no Director. He's still doing the same things he was doing last time he was filling the Deputy Director role solely.
