Priestap alone among the FBI leadership during the Obama-era misuses of US law enforcement and intelligence services remained in the same position well into the second year of investigations, giving indications according to some sources, that Priestap was cooperating with the Inspector General and prosecutors' investigations into the Obama administration's criminal misconduct.<ref>

Priestap was agent [[Peter Strzok]]'s immediate boss; however, it is unknown how much influence Priestap held over the activity of Strzok. Released text messages indicate Strzok was reporting more to [[Andrew McCabe]] during both the Clinton whitewash and Trump FISA abuse operations. All officials at the top of the FBI have either been removed or quit, with the exception of Bill Priestap. It is likely Priestsp has been cleared of any wrongdoing and has no issues cooperating with Zthe FBI's Inspection Division (INSD) and Inspector General investigators. Because of the importance of his role, Priestap likely knows the full context of how the FISA Title-1 application against U.S. person [[Carter Page]] was assembled and used. Priestap is also mentioned in the Nunes FISA memo contradicting the claims of Jsmrs Comey, Sndrew McCabe, [[John Brennan]] and [[James Clapper]].
