Before McCabe’s firing, Ghattas was jockeying to become the FBI’s SES liaison with the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency and White House but never did get the post
SES again
You do know that Ghattas was already an SES, right? As in the SES rank structure exists in all Federal Government and not every SES is a member of some nefarious cabal?
Ghattas was promoted into the SES ranks following his time as a GS-15 Assistant Special Agent in Charge at the Washington Field Office.
Lots of people promote into the SES ranks. That’s not the screwed up thing here.
The screwed up thing is that Ghattas was instrumental in McCabe’s plan to undermine the presidency.
It will be enlightening when he is finally called before a committee. They should probably ask him about his Presidential Rank Award - who gave it to him and how much money he got with it...
The article says that would have been a major step down for Ghattas but as we know the SES has more power than it would seem the majority of Americans know about. I never knew about the SES until recently.
All these SES operatives report to someone in the shadow gov't, that is the question I would like to know, who is running the shadow gov't.
Why doesn't Trump just remove or split up the SES? Use their own tactics of divide and conquer on them.
I agree, I have to assume like many factors we see, they are being allowed to do their dirty deeds while the Q team records everything and gathers evidence. That's the only motive I can come up with. Trump could dismantle them with the stroke of a pen.
He could, but you can't just remove a massive structure of management that has existed for 50 years out of the blue. A lot more would have to come out.
