Director James B. Comey has named Frank Montoya, Jr. special agent in charge of the FBI’s Seattle Division. Mr. Montoya was most recently detailed to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, where he served as the national counterintelligence executive. In this role, he was the head of national counterintelligence for the United States government.

Mr. Montoya began his career as a special agent with the FBI in May 1991. He reported to the San Antonio Division, where he worked violent crime and established and led the division’s fugitive task force. Mr. Montoya also worked temporarily in the Oklahoma City Division to assist in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing investigation.

In June 1996, Mr. Montoya transferred to the San Juan Division. During this assignment, he worked in the special operations group and served as a surveillance team leader on drug, violent crime, and national security cases. He was then assigned to the Washington Field Office’s national security squad. While there, Mr. Montoya participated in and led domestic and foreign investigations and operations.

In April 2000, Mr. Montoya was promoted and transferred to FBI Headquarters to oversee national security investigations and operations. During this time, he assisted in the Robert Hanssen investigation. Mr. Montoya transferred to the Milwaukee Division in November 2002. He served as supervisor and oversaw the counterintelligence squad and several national security investigations.

He returned to FBI Headquarters in December 2005 and was promoted to unit chief in the Counterintelligence Division. Mr. Montoya participated in the establishment of the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force. In July 2007, he transferred to the San Francisco Division as assistant special agent in charge in the Counterintelligence Branch.

In 2009, he was promoted to section chief in the Counterintelligence Division. Two years later, he was selected as special agent in charge of the Honolulu Division.

Mr. Montoya received a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from Brigham Young University and served in the U.S. Army as an infantry officer

Journalism major and clearly a ladder scaler. Tell the bosses what they want hear.

Well Mr. Montoya, we expect the Russians to be biased. The “US intelligence community” not so much when it comes to politics.

Got to get the lickspittle bureaucrats out of that org. I’m afraid they may be too numerous and too hidden in the weeds. It may require a demolition and rebuild from the ground up. But we are frozen, at the moment, by the horrific cost of a transition where so much of our way of life would be put in jeopardy if the organization were disbanded entirely. Knotty problem.

the intelligence community is frustrated the president does not rail against Russia to the same degree he shares his criticism of the Justice Department and intelligence agencies.

Everybody knows the Russians are a dangerous enemy. They need to be warned about the weaponized Deep State threat.

I’m talking about their training and specialization, not their hobbies and extracurricular activities.. although those likely intersect, as well.

They should put proven American patriots in those fast-track positions.

I wonder if the agent that goaded the muslims into massacre at Pamela Gellar’s artfest is about to be outed. FBI’s stonewalled info on that guy since day 1.

If the truth be known, Obama placed his commissars not only within the intelligence agencies, but every agency in government. Just check out the State and Defense departments.

Put it this way. They know internally who the bad ones are.

At this point, why should anyone believe anything a former, or current, FBI agent says.

That he doesn’t like it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

President Trump has always been very clear: he praises the many good men and women doing the actual work of the FBI yet is critical of the management, and is holding them to account.

Hey Montanya, I think the President is taking on the enemy that is the most threatening at the moment. We expect the Russians to lie and subvert, but our own FBI?? Come on, we see what these intelligence agencies have done, especially since 9/11. Take more freedom and use it against us.

That gives some comfort; but Southern Comfort is calmer for me.
