Please forgive me. Bad day yesterday.
I have known three SES, and they are great people. All of you are doing great work on these threads, but when the broad brush comes out, it seems like an attribute (SES) gets them painted as someone nefarious.
It’s like saying all Exec VPs in every company are part of a cabal.
It is not the fact that people may be congressionally appointed to an SES role; it is what they do that is the problem - and it doesnt mean the SES attribute makes someone bad automatically.
Are all FBI agents bad, or do the visibly bad ones make it seem that way? Same thing.
Again, please accept my apologies and keep up the good work.
Think of the sentiment as "presumption," rather than conclusive.
Is everybody in the press a liar? Rather than argue the conclusion, which takes evidence and reason, we can presume they are all liars, and put the burden on them to prove otherwise.

Tell them to be p*sst-off at Strzok and Brennan and Comey and McCabe! They should take their umbrage to those mooks and not blame good patriots for looking at them askance because of their “title”.
You will know them by their works.

I haven’t seen an FBI agent sound forthright and candid since George H.W. Bush was president.
