I would’ve called you crazy 5 years ago. Today I call you right on target. No doubt that the FBI and other alphabets are not on the people’s wide. They are the praetorian guard for those wanting to collapse the country.
Partly so. A lot of the Bureau Field Office SACs and SSA's [management] are pretty much as you describe. On the other hand, a n awful lot of the *brick agents* actually on the street and not busy filling out CYA memos to the 7th floor of the FBI building are a lot closer to us than you'd think. And there are an awful lot who have no faith at all in their fellow agents and local law enforcement protecting them than their own families.
I know two former military 10-year FBI field agents who keep an eye out for new *first desk* rookie agents just out of the FBI Academy with the right attitudes. They figure on taking care of themselves.
