I'm not weeping for him. For one thing he is very well aware of the Hatch Act. I said I think I understand why the FBI had to do this. I'm just saying I think political considerations were involved here. It's not a question of whether or not there would be discipline. The internal entity did recommend discipline. But the FBI went beyond the discipline recommended by the internal entity.
Do you not think political/public perception considerations were involved?
I think his apparent bias against Trump were obvious by his text messages, regardless of what some independent party says. I think the perception that someone with such a documented bias maintain a role in the FBI as an investigator will poison the well. CID is right, 100%.
You know what? I’ll expand on this a little bit.
This is what I don’t like about some of those preening motherfvckers at the upper levels of the FBI and a number of the other Federal agencies. They go to Glencoe and then their own academies and they get told they are the cream of the crop and they take that sh1t to heart. They sh1t all over local LE in the task forces (guys that are ten times the cops they are) and they have unearned 50 lb chips on their shoulders.
There are some great, stellar agents at the FBI (I know, because I trained them as cops and then encouraged them to go there)... but there is a very large cabal in the upper middle to top leadership that are leftover cocksuckers from the days when Jimmeh Carter’s crowd thought it was a good idea to load them up with UVA educated lawyers and Yankee accountants to go after the RICO cases (instead of street cops). They have colossal poor judgment, and they think the norms and rules of integrity in LE don’t apply to them. The Waco and Ruby Ridge “missteps” were brought to us when these guys were SACs.
Strowicz is the scion of those assholes who are mostly (thankfully) retired now, but their protégés are still there. And they got to the top by sucking ass and basically writing memos (and now texts). I haven’t looked at his record, but I will guarantee he doesn’t have single big case multiple conviction to his name. I guarantee he doesn’t. Because he’s a bureaucratic cunt, not a cop. And he has poor judgment. Go figure.
90% of the FBI people who know him hate his fvcking guts. Ask me how I know.
BTW I’m grinning, smoking a Partagas #2 with a wee dram of Lagavulin thinking about Treep and Jelly furiously googling away at “Strock major case multiple convictions”
