im the anon that did the deep digging on him; yes.
mildly unusual - search for Bill Priestap on twitter (people, not top or latest) and you get a series of FBI office accounts, along with a couple notable individuals (usual suspects).

Interesting. I'd never connected D5 with CI division at the FBI

they are, however, overconfident
And there's already a voluminous body of emails and texts discussing other illegal and/or ethically wrong things - including U1, Spygate and the CF.
Consider this: Priestap retiring does not mean he was involved in anything related to FISAgate etc. In fact, that he's allowed to retire strongly suggests he was 'not' involved in the illegal activity.
What usually happens to high profile/high knowledge 'witnesses' - in particular when the subject matter involves a Clinton?
usually involves a double-tap or a neck-tieโฆ
Seems likely to me, then, that Priestap is retiring to be put into a witness protection program and sheep-dipped.
Also, keep in mind where he was prior to heading up CI at DC. anyone? anyone? SDNY.
And the time frame he was thereโฆ anyone? anyone?
At the same time as the Weinergate fuckery.
He knows.
He knows FAR more than just about FISAgate and fake russia collusion.
It's why (well in part) I've been convinced for a year now that he is/was FBIAnon.
believe who you wish.
I'll believe in myself and what I've actually read and uncovered for myself - and not simply eat plain whatever's fed to me.
He's slimy, and I don't trust him. But you do you.
And?
When you work for somebody else you often have to do things you would either prefer not to or, would not at all in other circumstances.
Remember, nobody thought Trump would win; they never thought she would lose. Good people 'are' forced into bed with bad every day - and this is clearly what happend with Priestap.
Otherwise, he'd never have been allowed to stick around this long - and certainly not with literally 'no' change to his position and responsibilities.
But keep ignoring the facts in front of you for a narrative and other people's opinions. Thinking for yourself is tough - few can manage it.
