I retired from the aerospace industry. For all of my career, I worked for government contractors. If it flew, I worked on it. From cruise missiles to MX missiles, and aircraft, I, and those that worked with me did our work knowing that lives were held in the balance on doing our task right each and every time. The same is for Ms. Campbell.

The level of incompetency at the FBI and the DOJ is astounding. If the FBI was in charge of aircraft maintenance, then aircraft would be raining down from the skies upon us daily.

James Comey has justified the running of Crossfire Hurricane from the 7th floor of FBI headquarters, the Hoover building to hold tight the investigation to prevent leaks of investigative information to the media. The first underlining shows there were three teams and those teams were drawn from FBI field offices. Agents and lawyers were rotated from field offices. Hence, Comey’s reason is not valid and is a lie.

The second underlying report to us that the FBI can’t be trusted to do a task correctly. We saw layers upon layers of agents and lawyers tasked on this FISA application and the resulting renewals. If these hand-picked teams could not complete this task correctly, then what does that say about the 30,000 other FBI employees?

When I was home at McClellan, we had the person doing the task, his or her supervisor checking the work, and an inspector checking the work again. Then when the mechanics were deployed to fire attack bases, the mechanics had no one to inspect their work. In Cal Fire’s 50 year history, no aircraft has crashed from mechanics errors. And I can’t recall if I have ever read of a crash of any aircraft that was the result of a mechanic’s error. To be sure there has been such a crash, but I haven’t read of it.What is the FBI’s excuse?

Telling from then, FBI agent Peter Strzok’s text messages, the whole of the FBI believes they are superior to me and my fellow citizens. Comey exudes this same arrogance of superiority, as well as does then, deputy director Andrew McCabe.

Perhaps, there are too many layers that promote a sense of unaccountably in our FBI workforce? There is too many committee actions at the FBI and not enough accountable individual actions, in my opinion.The third underlining drives home my belief that either as a whole an FBI employee is either corrupt or illiterate. I am using hyperbole in that last sentence, but what else are we to think? The FBI employees have written guidelines, and they still failed on this task. The FBI and DOJ failed on this task and how many more? Moreover, this isn’t the first time that the FBI lied to the FISC. Under Director Mueller, the court blew the whistle on the FBI for misleading them as well.
