 Priestap is the only central character within the Obama-era FBI leadership apparatus that remains entirely intact despite his central role in the counterintelligence operation against candidate [[Donald Trump]], giving indications that Priestap is cooperating with the Inspector General and prosecutors' investigations into the [[Obama administration]]'s criminal misconduct.<ref>

 It is highly likely Priestap has been cleared for any intentional wrongdoing and has no issues cooperating with the FBI's Inspection Division 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 [[James Comey]], [[Andrew McCabe]], [[John Brennan]] and [[James Clapper]].
