Carl M. Ghattas is the former FBI executive assistant director of the National Security Branch and a current Booz Allen Hamilton senior vice president for law enforcement. This page is identity only. The episodes live in the posts. This is not the biography he would write. It is not a tribute.
Identity
About Carl M. Ghattas
Titles and dates come from FBI press releases (April 7, 2016; February 28, 2017), Senate Judiciary primary letters and the June 11, 2020, subpoena authorization, Comey’s SSCI transcript (title), Feinstein’s June 9, 2017, letter (name), Duke and UNLV biographies, and Booz Allen’s own pages. Identity confidence: high for the FBI EAD / Booz Allen SVP. Other Ghattas professionals exist; this site does not merge them. No free-use Wikimedia or U.S. government portrait of Carl Ghattas was located. Episode images are the J. Edgar Hoover Building, the Justice Department building, the Capitol, and Senator Grassley’s official portrait — not a generated face.

What this site is not
It is not a finding that Carl Ghattas committed a crime. Being sought for a Senate interview is not a conviction. Comey’s statement that the National Security Branch head was in certain conversations is not a finding that Ghattas opened Crossfire Hurricane or signed a FISA. A 2020 subpoena-authorization list is not a court. DOJ’s Mueller deconfliction is not proof of guilt and not proof of innocence. EY and Booz Allen titles are employment facts. This site does not invent quotes, titles, or convictions. It does not invent friendliness to Donald Trump. The public record of this office is the FBI NSB / Comey / Grassley / contractor file.
It is not a White House product. It is not lawsuit-proof. There is no Method page. Read the posts.
