FBI Continues to Skirt Court Order to Turn Over McCabe Communications
Sara Carter.com ^ | March 13, 2018 | Sara Carter

For more than two months, the FBI has failed to abide by a judge’s order to turn over all of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s text messages, emails and SMS phone messages to a government watchdog group that has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a former senior FBI special agent. The communications in question are related to McCabe’s wife’s unsuccessful run for Virginia State senate and might also contain invaluable information on McCabe’s role in the Bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server used to send classified information, several former FBI sources and a government official told this reporter.

In January, Judicial Watch, a formidable conservative watchdog group based in Washington D.C., filed a lawsuit against the FBI for the communications on behalf of retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jeff Danik. Danik spent more than 28 years with the bureau as a supervisor in the counter-terrorism division and special overseas advisor. Danik filed his original Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in October 2016 for McCabe’s communications. After Danik filed his original FOIA the FBI responded on November 8 and 9, 2016 denying his request. Danik appealed to the Justice Department and in June of 2017 the DOJ wrote that the FBI should search for and turn over any pertinent documents. The FBI still refused to turn over the documents and in January he filed a joint lawsuit with Judicial Watch for the documents.

“They have not produced not one text of McCabe, not one,” said Danik, referencing the bureau. “The government is out of control and it’s astonishing. Do you know what would happen if the government subpoenaed you for information and you didn’t produce records that you had in your possession? You’d go to jail for contempt.”

And Sessions does nothing about it. Remember when he was one of the voices of Conservatism in the Senate?

How come the FBI offices aren’t raided? Are they not acting like criminals? Where the hell is Justice?

Perp-walk FBI agents out of the building until one coughs up the data.

Not a peep from the media networks.

Not a peep.

This makes Watergate into nothing.

These FBI officials should be in jail on contempt charges.

They have no “executive privilege” to invoke.

They are simply refusing to abide by the rule of law.

And I saw a fakebook “trending” headline that under Trump there have been the most rejections of FOIA requests.

Smelled like Bullstalin knowing what has happened in the Obama administration and from the “Resistance” that tries to protect Obamunists to this day.

Have you no decency? To question the loyalty and honesty of law enforcers like the FIB and Holder’s Injustice Department???

Tillerson didn’t get on board - YOU’RE FIRED.

Tillerson’s aid was lying about why Tillerson got fired - YOU’RE FIRED

Trumps aid pissed off Trump - YOUR FIRED.

So why the HELL can’t the same thing happen to these people who won’t do their jobs & obstruct Trump???

Watergate was pretty much inconsequential. But even back in the day had it been Democrats doing wrong they would have found some “journalist” who would carry their water ... or at least allow it was really minor.

“The seriousness of the charges” went one way long before Tip O’Neil let it slip.

Rosenstein. Not Sessions. I see he did run out to give a USA Today interview yesterday in support of Mueller. Probably because the news about the House Intel committee finding no collusion.

Sessions is the swamp. This scum is owned by the Clintons he will never do his job.

Trump will win, how many will walk free, sucking up a sweet life long retirement because Sessions is corrupt?

Sessions recused himself from the Russia probe, not his entire job!
