Melissa Hodgman is Peter Strozk's wife. Peter was (is??) the FBI-counter-intel agent notorious for his work on "Crossfire Hurricane," the Hillary Clinton email server, the "lying to the FBI" charges against Michael Flynn, and the questionable representations made repeatedly by the FBI to the FISA court.
What does any of this have to do with the SEC? You're also passing credence that Peter Strozk is somehow notorious but I don't think that is by any means a universal truth. In my (mostly) independent circles he's just an agent who put some idiotic personal opinions on a government cellphone. His work has seemed to bear truth, and if anything things that couldn't be directly proven were withheld, which would be the mark of a good investigator.
I am surprised that someone married to this person is acting as a high-ranking official in the executive branch of government controlled by the Democratic party
No, the far-left actually distrusts the FBI and intelligence agencies (it always has since at least Vietnam) and called out Russiagate as a mostly fabricated distraction from the evils of neoliberalism and globalization. It's the centrists who promote hate against Russia and China.
The scare quote are flying pretty fast there. It's worth pointing out that Strzok's crime consists of personally being a democrat (probably) and thinking that the target of his investigation (Trump) was guilty. In the world of partisan media, of course, that's essentially capital treason. But to the rest of us? Meh.
Let's be honest: There are probably republicans in the government right now texting each other about how they hate Biden. And no one does, or should, care.
