federal court refused to unseal documents justifying fbi raid on reported clinton foundation whist..

A federal court is keeping documents justifying an FBI raid on a reportedly recognized whistleblower secret.

Attorneys and whistleblower advocates say the court should disclose whether prosecutors told the judge that Dennis Cain was a whistleblower.

A federal court refused to unseal government documents that permitted the FBI to raid the home of a reportedly recognized whistleblower who, according to his lawyer, delivered documents pertaining to the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One to a presidentially appointed watchdog.

The U.S. District Court of Maryland’s Chief Magistrate Judge Beth P. Gesner, a Clinton appointee, also sealed her justification for keeping the documents secret in a single-page Dec. 20 order.

On Nov. 15, federal Magistrate Judge Stephanie Gallagher authorized the raid on Dennis Cain’s Union Bridge, Maryland, home. She sealed the government documents justifying it.

The Daily Caller News Foundation asked Gallagher on Nov. 29 to unseal the documents, noting that Cain’s attorney has said his client, a former employee of an FBI contractor, is a recognized whistleblower. The documents should be released in light of “an urgent public interest” surrounding the case, TheDCNF wrote. (EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raids Home Of Whistleblower On Clinton Foundation, Lawyer Says)

Attorneys and experts who defend government whistleblowers told TheDCNF the court should disclose whether prosecutors told Gallagher that Cain was a protected whistleblower under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act.

Cain enjoyed his whistleblower status as early as last summer when he handed over documents to Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, according to Cain’s lawyer, Michael Socarras. Horowitz instructed a top aide to personally hand-deliver the documents to the House and Senate intelligence committees, the attorney said.

The documents reportedly show that federal officials failed to investigate potential criminal activity regarding the Clinton Foundation and Rostam, the Russian company that purchased Uranium One.

The Department of Justice is requesting that the justification of an FBI raid on a reportedly recognized whistleblower’s home remain secret, according to a letter from U.S. Attorney Robert Robert Hur...

...

..Hur did not address Cain’s reported status as a protected whistleblower in his letter to the court and instead appeared to employ boilerplate objections to keep the documents out of the public. He also did not invoke national security concerns or claim that Cain possessed classified information.

Releasing the raid’s justification would “seriously jeopardize the integrity of the ongoing investigation,” Hur wrote in his eight-page letter. “Making this type of information public while this investigation is ongoing could harm the government’s ability to find additional relevant evidence.”

He also stated that his office opposed the court order’s public release “to guard against possible tampering of witnesses and destruction of evidence, and to maintain the ability of the grand jury to investigate this matter.”

Hur wrote that “unsealing would expose details of the government’s investigation and impact the government’s ability to secure charges in this matter.” His letter also indicated that there were other “targets or subjects of the investigation.”

The U.S. Attorney claimed that redacting the search warrant application “is not practicable” because the warrant is “interwoven with sensitive investigative information.”

I have a feeling that a lot was happening during the ‘shutdown’ and the hammer is about to fall.

It all started in 1994, when 500 FBI files on citizens were sitting on a desk in the W.H., being guarded by the former manager of the discotheque at the Little Rock Holiday Inn.

If we don’t have one honest person who will get the criminals out of circulation.... this country and the people are SCREWED!

If there is no one who can clean up the mueller mess and all the rest of them who are in it... the judicial system... any system.... hillary’s and obama’s acts and lies.. if they all, plus the media, have sunk into the swamp and have lived there until Trump... if they are still in and running this criminal corruption that has become the law in this country... if there is no one... we are SCREWED!

Why are we surprised at another Clinton coverup?The Clintons have never had to obey the law. But all Clinton appointed judges should be barred from these cases involving their corruption.

"Bless your heart. The judges were probably in on it."

No doubt, since Strzok was friends with FISA Judge Contreras.

- On Nov. 19, however, Cain was confronted with 16 FBI agents who entered and rummaged through his home for six hours, according to Socarras -

time to stop defending the rank and file.
the agents above and those who raided Manafort and Stone’s homes could have refused to carry out orders from Mueller.

I would agree with you if you leave out the “probably”.

As much as all of us would like to see them all hung in the village square,that's not how Trump plays the game.
I think he took a page from MBS over in Saudi Arabia.
MBS was tasked by the older Saudi elite of the kingdom who still have final say to cleanup the kingdom
It had been dirty ever since the reign of 41 and his cabal had corrupted much of the kingdom from 911 on down.
Cleaning up Saudi style is a bit difference from how we do it here.
What MBS did was confine some of the richer kingdom criminals to quarters be they five star or whatever.those who protested were hung upside down or given the Jamal cash Hoagie treatment.Don't mess with MBS.
For the most part the bad guys cooperated with MBS.
What he did was get restitution since most of the crimes involved stealing wealth or money.
He is making the bad guys pay back every dime they stole plus interest.
Is Trump doing the same or similar thing after he compromises the Hillary's and McCain's,Podestas etc. who were both seen wearing boots? We don't know. But, it's not a bad guess.
