Law enforcement blog (scroll down below the Parkland article). Pretty sure none of these FBI folks ever thought their names were going to be bouncing around the internet like they are:

So if this is correct, Rosenstein had to sign off on Wray's choice of Bowdich?
"According to the (NY) Times, Bowdich is well-liked within the FBI and is seen as being outside McCabe’s inner circle." That seems encouraging.
Hmmm. Is very familiar with the world's most famous tarmac incident.
"In San Diego, Bowdich, “investigated violent crimes and gangs and served as a SWAT Team operator and sniper. He led a yearlong wiretap investigation that culminated in the first federal racketeering convictions ever to be brought against street gang members in the Southern District of California.” Impressive, to be sure.
