High-Ranking FBI Official Leaked Sealed Information To Journalists, Accepted Gifts From Reporter

By Chuck, Daily Caller, May 29, 2019:

A former FBI official accepted gifts from the media and leaked sealed court information to reporters, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog found.

According to a summary of a DOJ inspector general’s report released Wednesday, the former official, who served as a deputy assistant director, accepted a $225 ticket from a reporter to a media-sponsored event. The official, who is not identified, also allegedly provided law enforcement sensitive information to reporters on “multiple” occasions without authorization of the bureau. The official “had dozens of official contacts with the media” in violation of FBI policy, the report said.

The inspector general also found the former official might have been in contempt of court by allegedly disclosing the existence of information that was under a court seal. The Justice Department declined prosecution of the official.

The investigation is cited in a June 2018 inspector general’s report on the FBI and Justice Department’s handling of the Clinton email investigation.

Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department inspector general (IG), said in the previous report that investigators found “dozens” of FBI employees had contacts with the press.

“The large number of FBI employees who were in contact with journalists during this time period impacted our ability to identify the sources of leaks,” the report said. (RELATED: Senior FBI Official Lied To Investigators About Receiving Sports Tickets From Reporters)

The IG also found a former FBI official lied to investigators about receiving tickets from a reporter to a sports event.

That official, who has also not been identified, initially claimed he paid the reporter for the tickets, but later admitted he did not.

Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI, was fired from the bureau March 16, 2018, after the inspector general found he had given misleading statements about authorizing contacts with the media in October 2016 regarding an investigation of the Clinton Foundation

What has gone on is the worst political crime that I can think of. It was a sloppily planned international coupe to get Trump out. It included the U.K., France and Australia. All were in on it. Leaks, bribery were all part of it.
It’s all here:

Agree. Crooks and pro-jihadi criminals all around.

CNN and MSM canonises this pro-jihadi/pro-illegal immigration RINO while Egyptian media expose him for being Leading supporter of Muslim Brotherhood in America and Middle east https://tinyurl.com/y9hk3dpk

IG Report: FBI Officials Accepted Bribes From Media…
Posted on June 14, 2018 by sundance

On Page Xii of the IG report the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General (DOJ-OIG) highlights numerous FBI officials who accepted bribes from multiple media outlets including: “tickets to sporting events”, “golf outings”, “drinks and meals” as well as exclusive invitations and admission to “nonpublic social events”.

The OIG investigative finding was disturbing enough to launch a separate set of investigations that will be included in follow-up reports.

IG REPORT – We identified numerous FBI employees, at all levels of the organization and with no official reason to be in contact with the media, who were nevertheless in frequent contact with reporters. Attached to this report as Attachments E and F are two link charts that reflect the volume of communications that we identified between FBI employees and media representatives in April/May and October 2016. We have profound concerns about the volume and extent of unauthorized media contacts by FBI personnel that we have uncovered during our review.

In addition, we identified instances where FBI employees improperly received benefits from reporters, including tickets to sporting events, golfing outings, drinks and meals, and admittance to nonpublic social events. We will separately report on those investigations as they are concluded, consistent with the Inspector General Act, other applicable federal statutes, and OIG policy.

The harm caused by leaks, fear of potential leaks, and a culture of unauthorized media contacts is illustrated in Chapters Ten and Eleven of our report, where we detail the fact that these issues influenced FBI officials who were advising Comey on consequential investigative decisions in October 2016.

[…] We do not believe the problem is with the FBI’s policy, which we found to be clear and unambiguous. Rather, we concluded that these leaks highlight the need to change what appears to be a cultural attitude among many in the organization.

The fact that we had a useless Sessions before but we have Barr now… so hopefully Barr will start cracking down and everywhere Barr experiences “Resistance” those swamp rats should be axed and replaced with someone who is loyal to our Constitution and the rule of law and interested in cleaning out the seditionists… the members of the “Resistance”… the swamp rats.

Enough is too much. My prediction is that there are enough fair minded people in this country who have gotten fed up with watching the Democrats and media (same thing) abuse President Trump and his family in such an outrageous manner that his popularity will only soar.

Personally, I wouldn’t treat my worst enemy in such a way.

Just think, Trump gave up the cushy life of a billionaire to save this country and gets treated worse than most people treat their livestock and pets?

Trump 2020!

Why is it that the IG reports a breech of regulations within the FBI without giving us a name ? Then tells us that person lied to the IG about these issues and does so without being charged with the criminal offence of lying to the FBI.
Were this anyone other than FBI charges would have been laid !

Who do you send to arrest the secret police? The FBI is the Swamp’s own police force and is completely put of control. Wray is covering up for them and needs to be fired and prosecuted for obstruction of justice. Trump has to find someone to take over and clean this mess out. This criminal abuse has been going on for a very long time and it has been directed against the enemies, real and perceived of the Swamp.

Don’t think a highly paid FBI agent would be swayed by a $225 ticket to commit treason. Its much deeper, it is the corruption of our agencies by the islamic concepts of obama. Unless we see obama swinging at the end of a rope we are doomed to be enslaved under sharia!

I do believe that when you boil it all down, you will see that which is known as a conspiracy. The Federal agencies like the FBI fall under the Dept. of Justice. It is a game of “Follow the Money.”
Look at who ran the DOJ. Look at the link again and decide if Obama appointed some very loyal (to him, not our country) backers who admittedly are still tied to him.
Check your news sources or Wikipedia for group called “Organizing for Action.” It is an Obama led group boasting 35,000 anti-Trumper revolutionary foot soldiers who we might call “Anarchists.” When you hear that John Kerry is still politically involved with Iran, please understand that it is because he is still alligned with Obama, and is trying to do State business, even though he is no longer a representitive of the State. (It is still illegal).
Their organization remains intact, so I am willing to bet the house that there are still Bigger Fish.

Absolutely. When you put all the agencies of the DOJ together, look at who led them under Obama. You know the strings they pulled as the events unfolded in front of you.
Do you remember Bill Clinton meeting on the Tarmac with Loretta Lynch over charges against Hillary? Do you remember Valerie Jarrett? Clapper? I need not say anymore until I know that you know what page we are on. Please do the research.
Also, please note that before he left office, Obama changed the locks.
One other person to research is Susan McDougal. Her actions will raise your eyebrows.

Gee, isnt accepting gifts and bribery, just a cost of doing business in all the gov agencies. After all, how in the world could someone like Comey the commie get where he got without it. And so many others like him.

It may be deeper do-do than we expected. The FBI was a start-up agency first run by J. Edgar Hoover. His right-hand man and second in command, were lovers but they conspired to keep gay people out of the agency. They say that behind closed doors, he liked to cross-dress.
J. Edgar kept his job, most agree, by blackmailing all of the presidentshe “served” because he wiretapped them, and “knew where the bones were burried.”
The FBI was founded in the falsehood that the end justifies the means. But when Hoover was busy, he was investigating people who were not a public threat. He reportedly “had something” on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. having to do with infidelity. Perhaps it is true, but no man is perfect, and we all have personal flaws we want to hide.
My point is that the FBI was never as honest as it would have you believe. They were experts in breaking and entering and wire-taps. (Who was Philbrick, the “Man With Three Lives,” but a spy.
So, yes, I have severe doubts about the actual integrity of FBI agents, though I can’t paint them all with the same brush. It depends on their jobs, but sice each individual is different, I choose to stay away from them all, not knowing who is good, or who is bad, and who they report to and why. Look at how they started and where they ended up. Do the math, and you will see a lot was done with smoke and mirrors.

Why will the official not be named? If it was a Trump staffer, his or her name would be plastered all over every newspaper and every fake news broadcast. Bring him out in the open and let him be shamed and ruined for what he did like Trump’s people were shamed and ruined for doing nothing.
