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.

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

Since you are not a deep stater, the chances of you getting that kind of treatment, are absolutely 0.

Not only felony trials, but every SES type should be impeached, convicted, and barred from federal employment. They committed crimes against the Constitution. They are exactly why the Framers provided the impeachment and removal clauses.

If there is paperwork on 14, then there is another 140 out there.
