What this site is not
It is not a court and not a finding that Ghattas committed a personal crime. An appointment is not a Crossfire Hurricane opening. A Senate letter is not a verdict. A subpoena authorization is not a finding. He is an FBI official in these records — not a judge. Read the case file and the disclaimer.
