I'm wondering how many in the FBI voted for tRump?

I'm hoping not many and those that did have seen the error of their ways and don't support him now.

I hope.

He is a writer and instructs college courses. In the 1990s, he served in the NYC office of the FBI. In a seminar I attended, he expressed a distaste for the Clintons. He stated that the damage to the Hillary's campaign regarding the Russian hack was limited to the the leaded Podesta and Hillary emails which did not make any significant difference in the campaign. I disagreed with him. I think that the fake news, ginned up by planted Russian Internet bots, caused significant damage.
