There was a security expert on this morning that said that ALL of the agent-attorneys in the FBI were removed or reassigned and civilian attorneys were put in their place....UNDER LOUIS FREEH.
This may explain the reorganization of the FBI that Ashcroft announced some months ago. It also might explain why there are terrorism task forces. I assume these attorneys are civil service types.
I don't have further information on this than what I heard this morning. If anyone had on Fox and Fiends and heard the guy, it would be good if you got his name, which I didn't catch.
Hmmm... It wouldn't be all agent-attorneys, because apparently Crowley herself was/is an agent and a staff attorney:
