Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accuses FBI of leaking news of ICE raids to the press
American Thinker ^ | 02/09/2025 | Monica Showalter

What do we have here, a banana republic?

According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem:

The FBI is so corrupt. We will work with any and every agency to stop leaks and prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/HNW1ujf0Gd

— Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) February 9, 2025

Things like this, where the army fights the navy, are exactly what happen in a night-haunted tinpot dictatorship.

If what Noem says is right, this is an amazing breach of professionalism at the FBI, leaking news of raids to the press in order to undermine another federal agency.

It's almost impossible to believe it's true, but here we are, one federal agency accusing another one of using the press to knock down the other guy. Other than to support Democrats, and perhaps make President Trump look weak and ineffective on immigration, it's hard to say why they would be doing this. Is it one kid, or the full management suite on the top floor?

Yes, the FBI is famous for "leaking like a wet brown bag," as I once read in a Ross Thomas novel. Andrew McCabe lost his job at the top tier of the FBI for this, and James Comey engaged in it with alacrity, laundering his leaks through his Columbia University professor pal, who then went to the press. He actually admitted it, like there was nothing wrong.

But this is a new era now, and they ought to be on their best behavior if they know what's good for them. At least one of them there is doing the opposite, and there have been inexplicable leaks to the press:

The leaks continue.

The LA Times reports they’ve obtained a leaked government document which indicates there will be a “large scale” ICE enforcement operation in the LA area before the end of the month.

This comes after the Aurora op was leaked, w/ CBS & NBC writing articles… — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) February 9, 2025

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action, as Ian Fleming put it in Goldfinger.

Sounds like a criminal action to leak information obtained as part of a LEO job.

But Hannity told us...99% of them are great!

Firings, charges, and perp walks are badly needed.

Hannity may karate chop you for saying that!

He’s a blowhard and constantly repeats himself but he was on the Trump Train early, so there’s that.

There are more annoying people on our side but not a fan.

Sure wish Rush had lived to have seen DOGE.

It’s time for ICE to selectively release a planned raid, not for actually doing one, but to isolate and find the leaker.

Something tells me the leaker(s) think their shi’ite don’t stink cause they’re FIB.

Bait the trap, set the trap, then spring the trap.

Then, charge them with treason.

“This FBI shoudl be dissolved and we start a new national police force.”

It’s destiny that this will happen, President Trump has his hands full at the moment and is politely giving the left a little time to bury their dead.

Surely someone can figure out how to encode a digital watermark so that leakers can be traced. If not, have one of Elon’s resident smart guys do it.

When I think Bondi I think back in 2016 when Maxine Waters told her followers to get into Trump‘s administration’s face. I’ll never forget the time she was sitting at a restaurant and somebody came and poured their drink on her head. She just got up and left with her family. Nothing was ever done to that bastard who did that to her. And from there on I lost faith in her. She is going to have to prove herself. And this is the time to rise up! Hopefully she’s got what it takes to chop off the snake’s head!!

Maybe I’ve been following conspiracy theories too long, but what if...

Good guys feed various versions of info to suspected leakers, and then watch to see which version was leaked so they can ID and root out bad actors.

Meanwhile, by leaking this info, good guys watch who broadcasts it to ID bad actors in the media.

Meanwhile, criminal illegals in the target area panic and start to move. They come out of hiding and either self-deport (saving good guy time/resources), or else by moving they drop breadcrumbs so they can be swept up more easily.

FWIW, I have a friend that retired from the U.S. Marshall Service.
He told me that the two worst federal agencies that they just dreaded having to interface with was the FIB (arrogance & narcissistism) and the ATF ( incompetence & stupidity).
After all we’ve seen, I can now understand where he was coming from.
