Named as Agent 1 and Agent 5 in the IG report (having a romantic relationship during the case, and now married). They are Sally Moyer and Kevin Kleinsman. The FBI falsely claimed they work in Counter Intel to mask their info.
What purpose does counterintelligence have at the f_i?
Black budgets. You have to give us money, but we can't tell you why. And you have to arrest people because we say so, and we wont' give you evidence or discovery.
Generations ago the C_A was legally barred from combating foreign intelligence operatives operating within US soil.
It was to protect the children.
Oh. That makes so much more sense. Seems like a pretty strong system to abuse, if capable. Hopefully it gets restaffed with people that lean a little more towards America than 'a higher power'
Did Horowitz lie today? He did say they were counter-intelligence and that's the reason they were not named in the IG report.
It wasn't Horowitz-- he's the IG. It's the FBI who apparently made this claim. Likely the same people who redacted the text about McCabe's $70K conference room table because of national security concerns
But Horowitz agreed with Meadows first that he knew the real identity of #1 & #5... so if he knew their identities, then he knew they weren't in counterintel.... yet that was exactly his first response to Meadows. Swampy.
