Can you refute the statement or do you just find it troubling? I know the trope is that Intel people are all crew cut conservatives, but, like most Hollywood stereotypes, that is utter codswallop. The American University Complex churns out left leaning specialists, and the intelligence agencies hire exclusively from the AUC. It is not a very big leap at all. Stztrok and Page are very representative of modern IC.

I find it troubling,in that it indicates that the author believes the FBI are already politicized just the wrong way, but also I think it's kind of not true.

How do you mean? Aren't Strzrok and Page institutionalists at heart? Also, how do you think you know this?
