Разделение обязанностей между американскими спецслужбами оставляет оставляет функции контрразведки на территории США за ФБР, которое подчиняется Генеральному прокурору.
Сенатор Джефф Сешнс, трамповский кандидат в генеральные прокуроры, известен как борец против иммиграции, успешно пустивший под откос попытки иммиграционной реформы, и как проповедник трампизма до Трампа. Его единомышленник Стив Бэннон говорил: "Whether the issue was trade or immigration or radical Islam, for many years before Donald Trump came on the scene, Senator Sessions was the leader of the movement."

Во внешней политике Сешнс придерживался более традиционных для республиканцев взглядов, поэтому в марте 2016 Леонид Бершидский поспешил объявить его врагом Путина и противовесом трамповской путинофилии: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-03-04/trump-s-national-security-adviser-is-no-admirer-of-putin. Но всего через несколько месяцев, в июле 2016 Сешнс с честью прошёл тест на путинофилию, включая ответ на прямой вопрос о том, что он думает про Путина.
SESSIONS: ...this whole problem with Russia is really disastrous for America, for Russia and for the world. Donald Trump is right. We need to figure out a way to end this cycle of hostility that's putting this country at risk, costing us billions of dollars in defense, and creating hostilities --
ACOSTA: But is he right about saying that he has no investments in Russia? Is he right when he says he has no --
SESSIONS: I don't think anything about -- look, that's not the big issue for America today, whether -- that's not the big issue. The big issue is, can we, should we be able to create a new and positive relationship with Russia? I think it's -- is -- that makes no sense that we are at the hostility level we are.
ACOSTA: Do you in your view is Vladimir Putin a good leader or a bad leader? Is he a good man or a bad man, in your view?
SESSIONS: What we need -- we have a lot of bad leaders around the world that operate in ways we would never tolerate in the United States. But the question is can we have a more peaceful, effective relationship with Russia. Utilizing interests that are similar in a realistic way to make this world a safer place and get off this dangerous hostility with Russia. I think it's possible...

Похоже, что руководство ФБР будет в надежных руках.
The currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is “the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel,” and that “the reason why they’re leaking is they’re pro-Trump.” The agent called the bureau “Trumplandia”, with some colleagues openly discussing voting for a GOP nominee who has garnered unprecedented condemnation from the party’s national security wing and who has pledged to jail Clinton if elected.

Легендарный репортер Wayne Barrett, автор книжeк "Trump: The Deals and the Downfall" (1992) и "Trump: The Greatest Show on Earth: The Deals, the Downfall, and the Reinvention" (2016) приоткрыл завесу над тем, каким образом нью-йоркское отделение ФБР превратилось в "Трампландию":

You have a situation where a group of FBI agents is in direct conflict with prosecutors who believe the agents have a weak case in their attempt to find evidence of corruption that can be used against Clinton. The agents, in an atrocious violation of FBI policy against injecting the Bureau into an election, begin leaking dark innuendo to reporters. That convinces the FBI director that he has no choice but to go public with the fact that the Bureau is looking at some emails that might or might not have something to do with Clinton, though no one has actually read them. That news lands like a bombshell, despite its complete lack of substance.
And then it turns out that these agents are basing their investigation on a book called “Clinton Cash” by Peter Schweizer. Schweizer is the president of the Government Accountability Institute, an organization co-founded and chaired by Steve Bannon. Who is the CEO of the Trump campaign.

Comey had a large, measurable impact on the race. Harder to say with Russia/Wikileaks because it was drip-drip-drip. https://t.co/LgJkfYpZCk https://t.co/9FYMNz763b

There's more evidence, too: Late-deciding voters broke strongly against Clinton in swing states, enough to cost her MI/WI/PA. pic.twitter.com/8r801ahDQO

I'll put it like this: Clinton would almost certainly be President-elect if the election had been held on Oct. 27 (day before Comey letter).
