    How does a lower level FBI deputy get the interviews with all the key players in the Hags campaign and get to work with Comey on changing the wording of his investigation on the Hag?

    I believe the lower levels are conservative. It's the top level that's in taters.
    Sarah Carter: She agreed with President Trump's assessment of an FBI in "tatters" when it comes specifically to senior-level FBI officials, but not rank-and-file agents.

    And work the Trump "collusion" case in the very next breath? Cherry picked by Herr Mueller. The best of the best, the top .0001 %? :roflol:

    The Mueller investigation just lost all credibility.

    Dude, the evidence is in his title. Jesus, hasn't anyone on this forum ever worked for or with the ****ing government?

    https://www.fbi.gov/about/leadership-and-structure
    Note there are a shitload of titles here, not of which list's Peter Strzok's as Deputy Assistant Director, presumably of the Counterintelligence division where he was second in command. This puts him on the fourth level from the top, which sounds very important, but laterally, he's of eleven unless there are two or more "Deputy Assistant Directors" in each division then he'd be 1 in 22, 33, etc. Note that the counterintelligence division has four branches. Each branch would probably have a Deputy Assistant Director heading it. Without knowing his paygrade or GS level, I can't know for sure, but am guessing he's equivalent to either a Major, maybe a LtCol.

    The Counterintelligence Division has four branches:
    • Counterespionage (CE) Section – prevents foreign intelligence agencies from successfully gathering and collecting intelligence
    • FBI Counterproliferation (CP) Section – detect, deter, and defeat the threat posed by state-sponsored groups, individuals, and organizations attempting to acquire weapons of mass destruction or other sensitive technologies
    • Counterintelligence Strategy and Domain (CSD) Section – coordinates all FBI counterintelligence outreach to the United States Intelligence Community, academia, and the private sector
    • Economic Espionage (EE) Unit – investigating economic espionage under the Economic Espionage Ac

    1) Once again twisting the truth. Lying is an act of desperate to prove a point that is deceitful. Honest people don't have to lie.

    2) Note my post above, laterally, he has 11 to 44 people in his same position.

    It's definitely a plum job and very difficult to obtain. I know a few who have tried and failed. Any glitch on one's history kills one's chances.

    11-44. Sounds like flag rank to me, top o' the pyramid, thin air. The FBI has 20,000+ sargent equivalents who couldn't step onto the executive floors of the J. Edgar Hoover building without an inviting pass and then not armed.

    Give it up max.

    Not doubt there are people in the FBI that lean left just like Strzok and his lawyer girlfriend, but as long as they don't abuse their position, it's legal. Was what Strzok do legal? Yes. He wasn't alone and there were several people involved in the decision to change the wording of Comey's speech.

    Yes, President's appoint leaders and those leaders, in turn, choose to appoint or promote senior people. Doing this with a political litmus test would be an abuse of power. While Obama obviously is a lefty, let's not forget that Congress is controlled by the Righties and Congress is the one who funds everyone's budget.

    Fine. Call him Star Admiral Strzok if it makes you happy. Now tell me why that makes any difference.

    So by your own evidence and according to the flowchart you've supplied, Deputy Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok was four steps (theoretically) away from the desk of the director of the FBI. Strzok's office was on the floor below the Office of the Director and Deputy Director of the FBI. He was not a field agent, but his demotion to the Human Sources Division certain made him one of the low level employees now dwelling in the lower sub level bowels of the FBI. That is according to the January 20, 2010 FBI Organizational flowchart.

    What people on this forum think matters little. What Congress thinks matters very much.

    1) He was Deputy Assistant Director. In a bureaucracy as big as something like the FBI, accuracy is important. Four steps isn't as important when we realize he's only one of 11-44 or more. He's lower level, meaning not the head of his department, much less division or the entire FBI. Agreed he isn't just a field agent. More so, he's a senior agent.

    2) I've seen no evidence his transfer to HR was a demotion. Do you know? For all I know they promoted him and he's heading a branch or the division itself. One way to know for sure would be to know his paygrade before and after.

    Contempt of Congress is nothing to sneeze at. Your superhero villains will soon feel the wrath of that. So much winning......it's hard to take more these days. :roflol:

    That is quite the etch-a=sketch. Do you think you could fit all 37.000 jobs on that for our analysis? Asking for a friend. :roflol:

    No butthurt here, but now I wonder about yours. Did I hit a nerve? Your angst and dictatorial attitude tells me I did. Why else would a supposed intelligent adult use "Now go sit in the corner" as a point of debate?

    Have you ever {applied for} background check for a security clearance? If so, were you denied? Is that the reason for your anger?

    The butt hurt here is duly noted. A mop here, a pail there. Get cracking. Don't forget to bleach the grout. I pulled some strings and got you a clearance. :banana:

    Why in the hell would I need a background clearance? But to answer your question, I have, passed with flying colors. Government background check. You need to sit in a corner and sulk because you have been shamed. How can you possibly still be posting after you've been publicly abused and exposed? Calling an assistant deputy director of the FBI a lower level employee? Feel the burn? Your cheeks should feel like the radiance of the brightest star in the universe. :roflol:

    LOL. Do you feel better now? Powerful? I hope so since this seems to be all you have. People who do have success and accomplishments are not so petty....except in Hollywood movies.
