Was Comey’s FBI involved in this criminal action?

Well, it couldn't be the FBeeeees.

FTA...But McMahon said the FBI does not conduct background checks for Congressional aides like the Awan-linked family, even though the personnel are granted access to classified intelligence.

So it must have been the OPM

FTA ... "Instead the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is tasked with providing security clearances for such employees..."

But the OPM outsources to other entities

FTA..."...hires subcontractors to do the work. The results can be quite haphazard, McMahon said."

So it's ALL SO COMPLICATED and I'm sure that no one had any criminal intent, just sloppy work. Therefore, no competent prosecutor would press this any further.

However ‘complicated’ it may be, the solution is not so... start at the lowest level of federal official with responsibility under the law (the Contracting Officer in this case), aggressively prosecute for at least criminal negligence and move up from there. Failure to do so only indicates who all is in on the game.

Thanks, I got a freep mail re the OPM.

I went back and reread it and it appears the OPM is the guilty party here.

The OPM caused a lot of misery for good people when they were hacked or leaked the names of many with top secret clearances.
