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.
there are many layers in the bureau, the special agent report to many levels of supervisors and managers that follow orders given like the military, the grunt agents do the foot work and digging and supervisory agents put the cases together the senior agents and syat managers are the ones that could have spoken out but clinton through obama were developing loyalists that did what they were told
