This is my question or are they say the 9300 federally wide?

I know some federal attorneys have 2 years of probation upon hiring. Maybe the FBI is similar.

No, you are on probation for 2 years, so let’s say if 1500 are hired per year, that’s 3000. But then if you add everyone whose name is attached to a j6 investigation at any point and 9300 is definitely a feasible number when you’re talking about over 1000 investigations.

Are there even 10,000 actual agents in the FBI.

In the civil service, new hires are considered “probationary employees” for their first 2 years of government service. So not “on probation” in the traditional sense that you might think.

Yes, exactly. You see, speaking out against the government and not supporting the admins policies means you are out on probation until the reeducation camp helps you see otherwise.

Probationary agent is an agent who is new and still getting ojt and field experience. Think of mcgee on NCIS for the first 5 seasons

I was wondering if they meant new hires that are on a probationary period

On probation is not the same thing as probationary.

in the fed, probation is 2 years, and if you are promoted internally, you go back on probation for 2 years. Source: sister's a fed

He wants to hurt/destroy the FBI. They told the truth about him.
