It's easy to attack "federal employees", because you don't have to name one - that would carry with it a responsibility for specifics and fact based evidence, something that ambiguity cowardly evades. CmoreBmore
"Peter Strzok and Karen Page to name 2, Lois Lerner to name another, and I could go on.
So there goes your idiot "cowardly" charge. Try again, and with feeling this time." Dope1
Peter Strzok:
Strzok worked for the FBI over a 22 year career, one that concentrated in the FBI's Counterintell Division. He was a key FBI team member who identified, tracked & monitored the shortwave instructions to 10 Russian spies in the Boston area from the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). These Russian sleeper agents secretly living in the US for years plead guilty in 2010 as unlawful agents of the Russian Federation.
Strzok's standard security clearance interview of Michael Flynn revealed that Flynn lied to the FBI about inappropriate communication he was having with the Russian ambassador in the waning days of the Obama presidency. Flynn was later indicted & criminally convicted of lying to the FBI.
Strzok was part of an ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 American election. He advocated for an FBI search of Trump tax records & financial details to assess what potential existed for kompromat to be used to manipulate a US president for strategic Russian interests. A similar review of Trump's business records was subsequently completed and resulted in a felony conviction in a jury trial.
So the substance of Strzok's concerns were validated. Trump might/would act to cover up wrong doing.
Intrestingly, the actual work product of Strzok has never been repudiated, rather the content of private communications he had with "Karen" (Lisa Page)reveal someone convinced that Trump was not up for the challenge of the US presidency. Considering the personnel turnover blizzard in his cabinet during his four short years, his disastrous mismanagement of the Covid crisis, his naïve acceptance of Putin's denial in Helsinki of election interference over the assessment of the US government's entire intelligence community
and his failure to act decisively to protect Congress in an attack on the US Capitol ... reasonable people would conclude that Strzok was clairvoyant & patriotic.
Look Dope1, I'm not interested in a food fight with you. Your political slant is your right, an American right. I would just ask that you have the decency to avoid demonizing Americans whose only "crime" is not acting with the same political zeal that you exercise. You name drop Lois Lerner without any clear charge that conveniently enables you to act as judge and jury. The facts show that in her professional role with the IRS, she was looking at the appropriateness of tax status claims from both "conservative" & "liberal" groups. She was encouraged and agreed to resign during the Obama administration, but the September 2017 Treasury Department IG concluded that the IRS did not act in a partisan manner. Still, if you have a shred of evidence to the contrary, bring it. If you don't, consider your role in preserving the Shrewd'm culture of civility and substance.

P.S. I'm happy to give you the last word. You are an active sign of a tolerant board.
