Full title: Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Sues Justice Department for Records About Top FBI Official Ties to Top Clinton Ally

Sues for Records on Links Between FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced that it today filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on behalf of Jeffrey A. Danik, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, against the U.S. Department of Justice for records concerning FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe ( Jeffrey A. Danik v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-01792)). Danik worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation for almost 30 years.

The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia in support of Danik’s October 25, 2016, and February 28, 2017, FOIA requests for records about McCabe’s “conflicts of interest” regarding his wife’s (Dr. Jill McCabe’s) political campaign, and McCabe’s reporting to the FBI of any job interviews or offers. Specifically, the two FOIA requests seek

Text messages and emails of McCabe containing “Dr. Jill McCabe,” “Jill,” “Common Good VA,” “Terry McAuliffe,” “Clinton,” “Virginia Democratic Party,” “Democrat,” “Conflict,” “Senate,” “Virginia Senate,” “Until I return,” “Paris,” “France,” “Campaign,” “Run,” “Political,” “Wife,” “Donation,” “OGC,” Email,” or “New York Times.”

In 2015, a political action committee run by McAuliffe, a close friend and political supporter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, donated nearly $500,000 to Jill McCabe, wife of McCabe, who was then running for the Virginia State Senate. Also, the Virginia Democratic Party, over which McAuliffe had significant influence, donated an additional $207,788 to the Jill McCabe campaign. In July 2015, Andrew McCabe was in charge of the FBI’s Washington, DC, field office, which provided personnel resources to the Clinton email probe.

“I am saddened by how the FBI’s reputation has been tarnished by the poor judgement and ethics of its leadership,” stated Mr. Danik. “I know I’m not the only retired (or serving) FBI special agent who is concerned about Mr. McCabe’s conflicts of interest on the Clinton email matter. The agency seems to be illegally hiding records about this scandal, which is why I’m heading to court with Judicial Watch.”

“We’re honored to help Mr. Danik hold accountable the FBI—the agency he served for decades,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We believe Mr. McCabe’s text messages and emails will be particularly enlightening to the public seeking answers about the Clinton email debacle.”

In July 2017, Judicial Watch filed three FOIA lawsuits seeking communications between the FBI and McCabe concerning “ethical issues” involving his wife’s political campaign; McCabe’s communications with McAuliffe; and McCabe’s travel vouchers.

My faith in Jeff Sessions is waning with every passing day! We need to see ALL this scum frog marching TODAY! I strongly suspect the reason we have not is that EVERYBODY up there has SOMETHING on EVERYBODY ELSE!! With the exception of Trump (he’s a major threat to the swamp dwellers), that ROT infests ALL 3 BRANCHES!
Though this 5 minute video deals with FINANCIAL crimes, you can bet that there is plenty of sex and other sorts of crap going on nearly EVERYWHERE up there in Gomorrah on the Potomac!

McCabe is a treasonous snake. There was plenty of cause to dump the worthless POS yet there he sits like so many others.

You are in an ever growing group. Many are realizing that we were fooled by this Trojan Horse Establishment snake.

I have no doubt PDJT realizes this as well, and is trying to make lemonade out of Lemon Jeff.

Bravo to this brave retired FBI man.

Few have the guts to stand against the utter corruption.

Seth Rich is an example of what can happen to you.

Absolutely, and this retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent coming forward and suing more less proves that in my view.

Find a Clinton or Obama appointee and the whole thing disappears.

Tarnished? It’s been absolutely trashed.

The FBI did once represent Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity.

Not anymore. Those days are long gone.

The AG (unlike other unmentioned AGs do not let in as to what their activities are. Secondly the most simplistic of robberies takes a year or more to go to trial. I know there are some instant gratification, tweet, twat, twit crowds salivating over the fact that the AG will not speak about what is going on behind the scenes.

Thank GOD we have an AG that knows not to show his cards until it is time to pull the trigger and thank god some Freepers are not in the legal profession

But the FBI says that no one is interested in Ma Clinton’s emails, so that’s why they don’t need to release them. Well, there are still a few million of us, as well as the honest ex-FBI agents who can’t believe what Obama’s storm troopers did to that ruined agency.

It does take a year or more to get a robbery case to trial. That is from the point of arrest. I don’t recall a single case where a robber committed the crime and the evidence was overwhelming, where Law Enforcement refused to arrest the suspect.
There are major distinctions between arrest and trial. Sessions is allowing free pass to Clinton, Comey, et al. If they are never charged they are never going to trial. Sessions is not conducting investigation of any of the clinton gang. The Clinton cabal are laughing at Trump and sessions despite making public statements admitting guilt. If sessions can’t find it he isn’t looking. He isn’t playing his cards close to the vest. He has no desire to prosecute.

I’m sure I’ve read that there are a few ongoing investigations regarding McCabe. If this is the case, why not get rid of the guy. I know, innocent till proven guilty but he shouldn’t be sitting in his position if there is any doubt as to his integrity.

Let’s all thank God that the deep state doesn’t kill Trump or otherwise remove his administration from office BEFORE said “investigation” is completed.
