Because they are retired? Just because they are former, or retired, does not mean they don't have some clout with what they say. In some cases, even if they are retired, that does not mean they cannot work occasionally and still have inside knowledge about an issue. I myself am a retired GS 13 Step 6, Federal Agent , but I still have the same expertise that I gained from the more than two decades of work with the government as a civilian and several years from working with the military. And due to closure of multiple offices of the agency I once worked with, I still work occasionally in my field of expertise, on a contract basis, per case. Due to that I still have my security clearance needed to access classified computer systems and data. Of those 50 guys, they are probably GS 12 grade or above. So even if retired, the government may still call on them occasionally for their knowledge, support, and expertise.

So there's nothing inappropriate about them voicing their opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Interesting that no one has released the HB mails to the public. Interesting that the Republicans haven’t launched an official inquiry. Interesting that HB didn’t get a job working for daddy in the White House. This story has been dragged out to the point that I would be surprised it ever appears in court. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Americans be concerned ? My opinion of 3 letter agencies? I worked for one. Can you trust me? ???? Seriously, I don't trust the leaders that achieved their position more from political connections than from good work, especially when it comes to the GM (General Manager) jobs. I think it is at the GS-11 or 12 level and above, the employer must post an announcement for a vacant position, as required by law. I know of one case where a guy was told he would be moved into a regional director position, which is a GM position (as is the supervisor of an office within a region). He became upset and made verbal complaints to higher ups when he saw that the job was advertised, but he was reassured, it doesn't matter, you will get the regional director job. This guy was known as a brown noser and a back stabber and was not one of the better agents, in regards to his work. Several agents either transferred to different regions or put in for retirement after he became regional director. Some of the people that stayed suddenly had bad work reviews when previously they were getting bonuses for good work. I haven't thought much about whistleblowers, so don't have any opinion that I am willing to post right at the moment. I, myself, am always concerned about the leader of some agencies and was for the last 15 years of my active employment. I am not unlike many other American citizen's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you about justice though. Even if the GOP has nothing, they should be given justice for even bringing the case.

That's the difference between a lot of Biden supporters vs a lot of Trump supporters... Most Biden supporters here take the shared view that IF Hunter Biden (or Joe Biden for that matter) committed any actual crimes and those are proven, then they should be held to account for those under the law. In the case of Hunter Biden, of course, he was never an elected official nor U.S. government employee. Whereas Trump and most of his supporters seem to think that nothing he's never done or ever could do anything that possibly is a crime. And even if it was, Trump seems to think that somehow he's above it all and accountable to no one except himself. Hey, it's only an attempted insurrection incited by a sitting U.S. president. Last I heard, no one's accusing Hunter Biden or Joe Biden of fomenting a violent insurrection against their own country. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 In recap: What we know about the GOP's big, vague claims about Biden "bribery" What we know: House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Wednesday subpoenaed the FBI for a June 2020 form called an FD-1023, which is used to memorialize interviews with sources and often includes unverified information. ... "Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) released a report in September 2020 alleging that Hunter Biden had "cashed in" on his father's name to secure foreign business deals. But the investigation uncovered no evidence of wrongdoing by the future president. The bottom line: Republicans have been searching for a Biden bribery bombshell since 2019. So far, nothing has stuck." https://www.axios.com/2023/05/04/biden-bribery-fbi-subpoena-republicans 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son with a drug habit, an expensive hooker habit, dated his brother's widow, impregnated a stripper...
