Unidentified FBI Representative (institutional referent, S1E12)

An unnamed representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation appears only as an institutional referent in this episode. Leo McGarry reports that the FBI knew he attended meetings, placing this figure in the narrative as the agency’s offstage point of awareness rather than an individuated character. The representative functions as a background actor who embodies federal investigatory reach and confidentiality; their presence signals official scrutiny and the White House’s need to manage law‑enforcement awareness without personalizing the investigator.
