A BLITZ ON JOSH CAMPBELL
Josh Campbell recently wrote an opinion piece for The New York Times announcing his leaving from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Campbell called into question that the Page-Strzok texts were anything but poor judgment.

James Comey highlighted and pointed everybody to Campbell's article.

Campbell studied at Middlebury College, the University of Texas at Austin and John Hopkins University.

Campbell then became a Special Assistant in Washington from 2005 to 2008. After this, a special agent in the counterterrorism department between 2008 to 2014. Then back to Washington as a supervisory special agent until 2016. Then special assistant to Comey himself until 2017.
He then transferred back to Los Angeles (presumably the same office as his time as special agent in counterterrorism between 2008 to 2014) in 2017.

Now, funnily enough, I've actually seen Campbell's name before.

He's a Comey loyalist.

But where have I seen his name before?
I'll tell you where.

He's friends with Edward "Ned" Price, a former member of the National Security Council and a former agent of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Oh, wow, both Edward Price and Joshua Campbell pulled off the same stunt with two different institutes and they're friends.

What a coincidence.

This is a big, massive coincidence.

Almost a year to the day as well.
As spokesman (for a time) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (similar to Price being spokesman for the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency), he spoke with various news organisations.

Friends forever, right, Price and Campbell?
Campbell, as spokesman, talked about China breaching the data of 4 million federal workers back in June 2015.

In December 2014, Campbell also warned about potential cyberattacks via destructive malware in the United States.

Campbell may have also been a part of the investigation into intrusions into computers of a number of United States banks, including JPMorgan Chase.

Campbell also spoke about an investigation into breaches into the State Department's systems back in November 2014. This led the State Department to communicate outside the agency using private services such as Google's Gmail.

One of the organisations hit in the same breach was the United States Postal Service.

Campbell said the Federal Bureau of Investigation was unaware of the Philippines' police raid operation targeting Zulkifli bin Hir, flying in the face of Philippine media reports.

The operation left 44 police dead.

We'll leave it there for now. I'll add this to the spotlight pastebin.
