Whistleblower Advocates, Attorneys Condemn FBI Raid On Clinton Foundation Whistleblower
Daily Caller ^ | 12/05/2018 | Richard Pollock

Whistleblower advocates across the political spectrum condemned an FBI raid on the home of a recognized whistleblower who reported potential wrongdoing surrounding the Clinton Foundation, the Uranium One deal and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.


The Daily Caller News Foundation, in a bombshell report, detailed how 16 FBI agents raided the home of Dennis Cain, a former employee of an FBI contractor, on Nov. 19. They rummaged through his home for six hours even though he told them that Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz awarded him whistleblower status, according to Cain’s lawyer, Michael Socarras.


Horowitz instructed a top aide to personally hand-carry the documents to the House and Senate intelligence committees over the summer after he received them from Cain, Socarras said. (EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raids Home Of Whistleblower On Clinton Foundation, Lawyer Says)


Everyone TheDCNF interviewed said the raid should never have occurred. They said it appeared Cain followed the rules in accordance to the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act, which protects federal whistleblowers from retaliation.


“I really do question the need for this raid at all,” said Nick Schwellenbach, the investigations director for the Project on Government Oversight, a nonpartisan watchdog group that frequently works with whistleblowers. “On its face it doesn’t seem like it was necessary.”


“This isn’t how we should be treating whistleblowers who are coming forward with information about high level wrongdoing,” he told TheDCNF. “It sends a very strong message that you will be treated as a criminal even though what you’re trying to do is expose crime or a potential crime.”

Unless crimes were committed in the copying or moving of the docs, it looks like a case of the FBI using brute force to protect the elites. Some have suggested that the white hats are executing a clever deception.

This deep state is so deep it will need a root canal. The only way is to empower outsiders much like Trump to work in tandem to get the job done thoroughly

This is an ongoing series of chilling violations of basic American rights by unelected faceless burearaucrats

The ENTIRE FBI needs to be dismantled and individuals involved in this AND PRIOR outrages arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned.
Tell me again about the “average honest agent in the street”.
He does not exist.

Would be nice to see someone set a trap for these stasi scumbags. Will make them all think twice about pulling this bullshit.

Just following orders is not a defense for violating a person’s constitutional rights.

I’d love to know what the official justification for the search warrant was.

At the risk of being repetitious, “How does our current situation differ materially from a Police State?”

What they SAY is irrelevant and I doubt this guy was the target.

The REAL TARGET is any OTHER whistle blowers out there who are thinking of talking to government about Hillary, the
Dossier, OR ANYTHING ELSE.

The message from criminal Mueller and his puppeteer ensconced in his Reichsbunker
in DC, Obama, is “See, you think you are protected as a whistle blower from us. think again.

We keep hearing about how the vast majority of FBI agents are good guys who are not Deep State.

Apparently, all 16 of these agents are NOT among those.

I’m surprised that he wasn’t murdered for a furtive movement or some such FBI description. He is lucky to be alive.

This action just highlights the question, "WHY NO PROSECUTION OF THE CLINTONS"?

It’s so deep it will require a bunker buster.

I would guess that the Clintons have dirt on a lot of people, and those people know that if the Clintons go down they will pull them all with them.

Hello. That's the entire point of the illegal raid by the FBI. This whistleblower will end up in jail, or dead, or both at the hands of the corrupt FBI.
