(22) #AboutStrzok : So here is the question - Did the Jesuit priest #JamesStrzok (uncle of #PeterStrzok) "discover" #BarackObama in 1988 ? There is only circumstantial evidence, but there are enough clues to warrant asking the question.
No, not so much. Big law firms interview for summer interns at big law schools. If you are Black and doing well at a top law school you are likely to get such a job.
Then you move to Chicago for the summer and start making connections. Because you have made connections in Chicago and know the legal scene there, it's likely that you'll move there and work with a firm there after you graduate.
A Jesuit priest on the other side of the planet isn't going to make much of a difference. I don't know exactly where James Strzok was when Obama visited Kenya, but apparently, he lived and worked in central Tanzania for some time, not in Kenya.
But Obama could have gone to many places other than Chicago.
My guess is that the Windy City isn’t a top pick for Harvard Law School students without some previous connection to the city.
It would seem more likely for someone with his credentials to work in NYC, DC, LA, or possibly San Francisco.
I think it is significant that he ended up there. FYI, I lived and worked in Chicago for ten years.
