Bump ... great post. People need to at least roughly get a handle on the chain of command and division of work. Right on the money that "minions" have key roles. Part of plausible deniability. See Farkas.

I dug up names of McCabe and other close to Comey, based on Comey's answers to Feinstein where he gave titles instead of names. I knew every one of those people (Comey's inner circle) was likely a rat, so was expecting certain names to surface - Rybicki, Baker, McCabe. Same process works just viewing deeper in the chain of command.

COMEY: As I said in response to Senator Feinstein's question, deputy director, my chief of staff, general counsel, the deputy director's chief counsel, and then, more often than not, the number three person at the FBI, who is the associate deputy director, and then, quite often, the head of the national security branch.

Deputy Director = Andrew McCabe
Chief of Staff = Jim Rybicki [FBI Chief of Staff/Senior Counselor]
