“Mike” is Out – Michael P Kortan Quits FBI…
CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 2/8/2018 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 02/08/2018 4:40:47 PM PST by bitt

Another longtime FBI official quits today. According to Fox News Catherine Herridge reporting, FBI Asst. Director Michael Kortan (aka text message “Mike”), the head of the FBI Public Affairs Office, has announced he is retiring.

Mike Kortan was previously exposed by FBI Agent Peter Strozok as having specific information that the investigation into Hillary Clinton was manipulated by the “small group”. “Mike’s” job was to sell the ruse as a valid investigation.

WASHINGTON – The longtime head of public affairs at the FBI — who was a confidant of former director James Comey — is planning to retire, Fox News has learned.

A notice went out this week for a retirement get-together for Michael Kortan scheduled for Feb. 15. Since 2009, Kortan has served as assistant director for public affairs, an influential job that controlled media access. He also served under former director Robert Mueller, now leading the Russia probe.

The FBI confirmed to Fox News that Kortan is retiring.

It’s unclear whether the retirement was long-planned or in any way precipitated by recent events. The FBI emphasized he was finishing 33 years of service. (read more)

Boy-o-boy this prior Peter Strzok tweet, as read by Bob Goodlatte on January 25th, is striking a nerve:

Unreal.

The good news is that Strzok is probably one of many that became extremely lazy and careless. Up until now, they thought they could get away with anything

The repercussions might seem to have lessened as the upper ranks thin but those who remain are likely quietly psychotic with the attempts to keep a lid on things, so no, not yet. The flying monkeys would be premature in speaking out let alone celebrating.

I kinda meant: are the good cops - I’m willing to accept there are far fewer than I supposed a year ago - about ready to assist......somebody in leadership... in making the FBI great again? Or, at least great enough to warrant willing civilian co-operation again. Or good enough to lionize in films again. Or good enough not to just de-fund and punt their function to the several states.

He needs to be prosecuted for having knowledge that agents were disregarding Congressional demands.

We haven’t seen McCabe’s text messages nor Strzok and Page’s from mid December 2016 to mid May 2017. That’s going to be the Holy Grail FReepers...

This is why Erdogan has purged at least 50,000 since the failed coup attempt against him.

I’m not sure the coup attempt against Trump has failed yet.

Time for him to get a clue.

I suspect there are too many top level bad actors still left for any lower level people to come out of hiding and spill the beans. When the dam breaks we’ll know, though.
