JUDICIAL WATCH OBTAINS RECORDS OF 14 REFERRALS OF FBI EMPLOYEES FOR LEAKING SENSITIVE OR CLASSIFIED
JUDICIAL WATCH ^ | 8/6/2019 | Judicial Watch

Posted on 08/06/2019 7:54:52 PM PDT by bitt

Judicial Watch announced today it received records of 14 referrals of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employees to the organization’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) for the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or classified information. The disclosure comes on the heels of Judicial Watch’s uncovering a FBI report detailing fired FBI Director James Comey kept FBI documents on President Trump at his house. Comey also admitted to leaking these documents.

Although the FBI’s OPR does not have its own website, according to the DOJ’s OPR, leak allegations may come, “from a variety of sources, including U.S. Attorney’s offices and other Department components, courts, Congress, media reports, other federal agencies, state and local government agencies, private citizens, private attorneys, criminal defendants, civil litigants, and self-referrals. OPR also regularly conducts its own searches to identify judicial findings of misconduct against Department attorneys.”

According to the DOJ’s OPR, it “investigates certain misconduct allegations involving federal law enforcement agents when they relate to a Department attorney’s alleged professional misconduct, as well as claims of reprisal against FBI whistleblowers.” “If OPR finds professional misconduct in a particular case, a different office—the Professional Misconduct Review Unit—reviews OPR’s findings and determines the appropriate discipline.” Final recommendations are given to “the appropriate office.”

Judicial Watch obtained the records through a January 2019 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking:

All complaints, referrals, or other reports received by the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility related to the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and/or classified information by any employee of the FBI. Any records documenting the closure or other final disposition of any complaint, referral, or other report described in part one of this request.

Any prosecution of significant wrongdoing is abhored as a very public admission, plus, these people are all friends. They look out for each other.

Since there are those stories floating around about FBI agents having affairs with CNN staffers:

But, but Hannity told us that it was only the top people that were bad and that the rest of them were all doing great work.

It’s time for juries to reject all evidence presented by these agencies. Never talk to these people.

Not a single prosecution. I demand the same treatment under the law for any crime I commit!

LOL! That is speak. Trump said the same thing. Hannity is Trumps mouthpiece.

Just tell the FBI you had no ‘intention’ to break the laws you broke and they'll wipe the slate clean for you. It worked for Hillary and all her people didn't it?

That’s right! Just like I used to try with my Dad.

Comey is simply not under the same legal system as the rest of us. We have a two tiered system.

To think that only Judicial Watch, among a bare few others, is doing all the hold-to-account work that “the Press” used to — and is supposed to — do!

>> Never talk to these people.

That should have been apparent at least since the Martha Stewart case around 15 years ago.
