Ex-intel contractor sues Comey, alleging FBI covered up mass civil liberties violations
Circa ^ | June 6th, 2017 | by John Solomon and Sara Carter

A former U.S. intelligence contractor has sued fired FBI Director James Comey and other current and ex-government officials, alleging the bureau has covered up evidence provided to agents showing widespread illegal spying on Americans.

The suit, filed late Monday night by Dennis Montgomery, was assigned to the same federal judge who has already ruled that some of the National Security Agency’s collection of data on Americans violates the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, setting up an intriguing legal proceeding in the nation’s capital this summer.

Documents obtained by Circa outside of the lawsuit show that the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington in 2015 approved a grant of limited immunity for Montgomery so he could explain how he managed to walk out of his contract work for several U.S. intelligence agencies with 47 hard drives of highly classified documents -- a security breach potentially larger than Edward Snowden’s leak.

The documents show FBI agents interviewed Montgomery on videotape for several hours and collected the 47 hard drives.

Since the drives have disappeared into the FBI labyrinth.

THIS is the biggest story of 2017.

Universal surveillance.

Roughly 329,999,999 Americans are constantly under surveillance, with all of their communications being collected and stored in a massive database.

Everyone except Hillary.

Snowden’s disclosures pretty much revealed this same thing. The govt. intercepts and archives everything. Everything.

You can bet not a single Senator will ask Comey about this.

When are we going to find out what they have on Roberts?

"However, the FBI, on Defendant Comey’s orders, buried the FBI’s investigation because the FBI itself is involved in an ongoing conspiracy to not only conduct the aforementioned illegal, unconstitutional surveillance, but to cover it up as well,” the suit added."

Hello Senate Committee on Thursday, will you be asking Comey about his part in this lawsuit? I'm sure even if they did, he will not answer due to ongoing lawsuit or some such dodge.

We've suspected that the Chief Justice had to have a reason that had nothing to do with Constitutional law that caused him to use such convoluted reasoning for an excuse to approve Obamacare.

Let's put it this way... the chances that Montgomery was the only person able to walk out with massive amounts of data at will are zero.

There were stories at the time that the deep state had information that Roberts’ adopted kids were really from Ireland, not South America. This information was allegedly used to coerce him to legalize Obamacare or risk losing his kids! There are legal restrictions on adopting from Ireland.
