usually they are former by not toeing the corrupt line, Clinton and Obama worked at comradizing the upper echelons
All through the Russia hoax I kept hearing how the “rank and file” were good people, how they were upset with the Russia nonsense and spying on Catholics and school board meeting parents, but I didn’t see any of them resigning or refusing illegal orders. The I was just following orders won’t wash with me.
I have sat on probably 14 juries in my life from civil trials, to assault, drugs and murder and if an FBI agent testified in any trial I was sitting on today I would have to discount their entire testimony, there would be a reasonable doubt. If they would lie to a FISA court judge they would lie in any small town USA. That agencies credibility is destroyed and they did it themselves.
