A former FBI official is under investigation for leaking secrets to the press. The Washington Examiner reports:
Former FBI general counsel James Baker is under criminal investigation for unauthorized leaks to the media.
The development was made public in a letter sent Tuesday to the office of U.S. Attorney John Durham for the District of Connecticut by Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Mark Meadows of North Carolina.
In the letter, the two lawmakers cite the transcript of a congressional interview with Baker and his lawyer in October. “You may or may not know, [Baker has] been the subject of a leak investigation … a criminal leak investigation that’s still active at the Justice Department,” lawyer Daniel Levin told lawmakers, according to the transcript cited by Jordan and Meadows.
Levin then declined to answer any more questions about conversations Baker had with reporters. “As we continue our oversight and investigative work, we felt it prudent to write to you seeking an update. Without being apprised of the contours of your leak investigation and Baker’s role, we run the risk of inadvertently interfering with your prosecutorial plans,” Jordan and Meadows wrote.
This will hopefully be the last rogue FBI official that will need punishment for the gross insubordination against President Trump.
The incoming AG will squash this investigation on day one
its NOT the last, the anti American’s living here is great in numbers, hopefully there Really is a slew of indictments being handed down but that just may be wishful hoping
Obama & Eric Holder need to be prosecuted and imprisoned for gun running to Mexican drug cartels. And Loretta Lynch for obstructing justice in the Killary email scandal. Lois Lerner for politicizing IRS against conservatives. Killary Clinton for felonies on selling favors while Secretary of State, and felonious handling of government secrets. All of the Obama administration should be locked up for many crimes.
We agree that FAST & FURIOUS needs to be investigated and criminal charges filed against Eric and others involved.
GITMO would be appropriate for them.
ALL VERY TRUE, But they all get off scott free. You are seeing corruption on a colossal scale. I pray for their utter demise. Washington DC= District of Criminals
He has nothing to worry about-the DOJ and the incoming AG have his back
This will never be over until Obama is in prison or dead DOJ is not the ones who got hurt its been Conservitives citizens who will keep going until justice is served one way or another.
this will not be over until all the criminals in the FBI and Justice Dept. are prosecuted for crimes against the people.
Who’s investigating the FBI ? The FBI ? what a joke,
The FBI has investigated itself and has found no wrongdoing.
I am hoping that this is just a start.
And per comments attributed to Hillary, if she goes down so many more go down. So I hope her criminal activilty is also under investigation.
Not until stroch, Obama, Clinton, comey, and all the rest are investigated as THOROUGHLY as mueller investigated President Trump!!! It’s NOT over!!!
Agreed!
Think about it, this is the first time in our history that so many federal employees in the DOJ and FBI all in after candidate Trump and then President Trump. These federal employees had to be led by a senior official who could guarantee they would not be found out. Only Obama could have pulled that off. He knew Hillary would win but they had a insurance plan and that was said by the two lovebirds. They all need to be investigated, charged and if found guilty 10 years or 20 years in prison no early release and no Presidential pardons and they lose benefits paid by the tax payers. Only one could get a lighter sentence if he can tell who that leader is and proof.
Wonderful ideas and facts You presented. May the Military Tribunals commence and all the worst traitors hung soon thereafter.
There does not need to be a investigation of Hillary! Everyone knows she is guilty! The Trump crap was brought on by Hillary trying to cover her ass! Her crap there cost the Taxpayer over $20 Million dollars for nothing! She is the one needed investigating!
Robert Müeller, Jim Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Rob Rosenstein, and Andrew McCabe have ushered in the new level of competency, integrity, honesty, transparency and trust to the FBI.
You are brain dead!
The Dominoes are just beginning to fall. The last Domino is Obama. He is the King Pin of the corruption.
they need to keep going and get the ones that started investigation aganst Trump due to rumors that is wrong and that is what started mueller bull crap
THERE AIN’T NO WAY THAT THIS IS THE LAST CROOKED FBI MEMBER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
