Chris Wray’s FBI continues to cover for Team Comey’s Russia shenanigans
The FBI is going to court to fight the public release of a small number of documents the State Department sent to agents from Christopher Steele, the British intelligence operative and Hillary Clinton-paid political muckraker, during the 2016 election.
Normally, such Freedom of Information Act cases don’t merit public attention. This one does.
To hear the FBI tell it, the release of former Deputy Assistant Secretary Kathleen Kavalec’s documents is tantamount to giving up the keys to President Trump’s nuclear briefcase, aiding the enemy or assisting terrorists.
“We know that terrorist organizations and other hostile or foreign intelligence groups have the capacity and ability to gather information from myriad sources, analyze it and deduce means and methods from disparate details to defeat the U.S. government’s collection efforts,” an FBI assistant section chief swore in an affidavit supporting the request to keep the documents secret.
The FBI can’t afford to “jeopardize the fragile relationships that exist between the United States and certain foreign governments,” the FBI official declared in another dramatic argument against the conservative group Citizens United’s request to release the memos.
And if that wasn’t enough, the bureau actually claimed that “FBI special agents have privacy interests from unnecessary, unofficial questioning as to the conduct of investigations and other FBI business.”
In other words, agents don’t want to have to answer to the public, which pays their salary, when questions arise about the investigative work, as has happened in the Russia case.
The FBI’s July 10 court filing speaks volumes about Director Christopher Wray’s efforts to thwart the public understanding of what really happened in the FBI’s now-debunked Russia collusion probe.
EXCERPT
Geesh. Americans are the only ones not to know the FBI/DOJ corruption under Obama. Other countries got it straight from Hillary’s server and the Awan. Well maybe some isolated tribe in the Amazon may not have the information denied Americans. Wray needs to go!
Great information in the last two posts. I believe the FBI is protesting because they now need this information “out”. The excuse they give is nowhere near the reasons for opening. It will all be out soon and many will look worse than we imagined. We need HRC and BO to be totally wiped out by these releases. Take every dime they stole. chelsea is holding a lot of it.
