FBI misses deadline to provide docs to Judiciary Committee probing whistleblower raid

The Justice Department and FBI have missed a Wednesday deadline to provide information about the government's mysterious raid on a former FBI contractor-turned-whistleblower's home last month.

Sixteen FBI agents on Nov. 19 raided the home of Dennis Nathan Cain, who reportedly gave the Justice Department's Inspector General (IG) documents related to the Uranium One controversy and potential wrongdoing by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The documents in question allegedly showed that federal officials failed to investigate possible criminal activity related to Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and Rosatom, a Russian nuclear company. Its subsidiary purchased Canadian mining company Uranium One in 2013.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, whose panel has oversight of the Justice Department, penned a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Justice Department IG General Michael Horowitz, requesting information on the justification for the raid. Grassley gave Wray and Horowitz until Dec. 12 to respond to his request.

That deadline has come and gone, and neither the FBI nor DOJ has produced any documents or response.

"We have not yet received answers to the chairman's questions on this matter," a Judiciary Commitee spokesperson told Fox News late Thursday.

The FBI consistently has refused Fox News' request for comment on the whistleblower raid and the Judiciary Committee's requests. On Thursday, an FBI spokesperson told Fox News the agency would respond only to inquiries from the entity that requested the documents -- in this case, the Judiciary Committee.

We didn't deliver the documents because the dog ate the homework documents.

It does seem to be SOP for them, doesn't it?

And, since there aren't ever any consequences, why not?

Who is surprised by that. I did not believe that the FBI would provide them in the first place. And why should they? Who will make them? They are the law. They answer to no one.

Their actions will not help her just more names on the list to go down with her.

No one involved in the Kenyanesian Usurpation is going to jail.

~~~
That’s my question.

If you start asking about how you can give teeth to deadlines like this, which implies going after lack of compliance, who do you go after?

The field agents from the raid?
The agent in charge?
The head of the FBI?

Can you arrest anyone anyway? The FBI is the top law enforcement agency in the land? If you really wanted to see someone in handcuffs, would you send Barney Fife down to the J.Edgar Hoover building in a black and white?

THIS Congress’s last act should be the closing down of the FBI. FIRE THEM ALL.

“we didn’t deliver the documents, because we were waiting on Sandy Burglar to finish shredding all implicating documents.”

Well, we all know that in about a month, they’ll be getting documents to various House committees before they even ask for them.

The FBI is the thug arm of the democrat party - or as Mika would say, ‘they’re the butt boys of the democrat party’...
