Probably as a slight for the political hyperweaponization by upper-echelon FBI management/directors ... and to get the White House to the table for discussion that they have refused to thus far.
The rest of the rank-and-file FBI are still the most important and most reliable part of its organization.

- egberts1 4y agoWho knows ... until White House chimes in.

- egberts1 4y agoThat was for the 60-day prohibition of election impacting actions. One was within the 60-day, the other was outside the 60-day.
- augment003 4y agoWhat on earth are you trying to say?
- egberts1 4y agoThere is a federal law prohibiting tampering of election cycle up to 60-day by federal employees.
