DC: Why Did CNN Hire Comey’s Former Assistant Josh Campbell?
CNN’s decision to hire former FBI Director James Comey’s assistant disturbs veteran members of the bureau, former agents told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The relationship between former FBI agent Josh Campbell, the cable news network and Campbell’s seemingly close history with former boss James Comey, have raised a number of questions from these agents over the propriety of Campbell’s new job.
“What can [Campbell] contribute? I don’t think that he would be someone who could offer any type of, really, knowledge about what law enforcement analysts are, because, what is his experience?” said former Special Agent Jack Garcia, a 26 year FBI veteran.
“Something smells so bad about this whole thing.”
Garcia and another 25 year veteran of the FBI noted to TheDCNF that Campbell’s mere 10 year career was largely marked by time spent at headquarters and that he lacked field knowledge to accurately represent the bureau. Campbell’s last job in the FBI was spent in a media relations role out of the Los Angeles field office. His last day at the bureau was Jan. 29 where his official flyer, obtained by The Daily Caller, reveals he understood his future role at the network as a position to “defend the bureau.” CNN describes him merely as a “law-enforcement analyst.” read more
Like I said previously, the FBI rank and file are not happy with the shenanigans, they want their reputation back.
SCHWEET! Now we can indict CNN as co-conspirators! 😀
Slightly OT, Rachel Brand, #3 at DOJ, has resigned. That discard pile is getting tall.
Thirdtwin
She was a Trump appointment. Apparently a large Fortune 500 company approached her with a “Dream Job”. Makes me wonder if someone is trying to get her out of the way. Had Trump fired RR she was his replacement.
Bad_Brad, I heard about it from Erick Erickson. He was pretty blase’ about it. That she was a Trump pick would explain why. However, He was pretty worked up over whispers about Don McGahn and John Kelly possibly getting the axe. “The only two adults in the room”, he called them. What a pompous ass. I think his Nevertrump WH moles are feeding him baseless rumors so he can speculate about paranoid Trump losing it as the walls close in.
This so called FBI was only there for 10 year cleaning the ass of James comey.
Bad_Brad, Brand’s likely replacement is also a Trump appointee, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina Robert Higdon. He prosecuted Silky Pony John Edwards for campaign finance fraud.
“Ten year career….the minimal amount of time before retiring”.
You have to hand it to the Government Union; they’re good. Reason #4856 for a bloody revolution!
