Attorney For FBI Informant Demands DOJ Open Investigation Into Falsified Leaks to Media
2018-02-22
[Gateway Pundit] The lawyer representing a former FBI informant demanded Wednesday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions open an investigation into unauthorized and falsified leaks to the media by "anonymous federal officials." The informant’s lawyer said the leakers disparaged her client in an effort to silence him from providing testimony to Congress regarding his role in exposing Russia’s long-term strategy to dominate the global uranium market and how Moscow achieved its goal in 2010 of obtaining roughly 20 percent of the U.S. uranium mining industry, according to a letter delivered to the DOJ.

Victoria Toensing
...former Reagan Justice Department official, former chief counsel of the Senate intelligence committee, and all around smart cookie...
is the attorney for William Douglas Campbell, the FBI informant who is providing Congress with troves of documentation he gathered, saved and turned over to the FBI during the nearly six years he worked as an undercover FBI asset when he was a contractor in Russia’s nuclear and energy field. She has also asked Sessions to investigate a December 15 briefing given by "senior officials" to the Senate Judiciary and House Intelligence and Oversight committees "with the same false information that was leaked anonymously to the media and later refuted by the Justice Department," as stated in her letter.

"The leaks were not only illegal but they were also false, intended to attack the credibility of Mr. Campbell," said Toensing, referring to the leaks by ’federal officials’ to the media. She attached a 38-page appendix of documentation disproving the leaks.

#4  "though it is one that is apparently never prosecuted when done by the upper class."

And that is exactly what must change.

#3  The trail leads to Hillary via the Clinton Foundation. Thats why the leftists in the FBI have not investigated - and why they refuse to investigate now: the Dems would be implicated in criminal acts, including FBI and Justice Department officials.

#2  leaking classified information to the press is a crime, maybe a felony, though it is one that is apparently never prosecuted when done by the upper class.
Leaking false information is not that felony since being false it can hardly be classified.
since FBI officials are allowed to lie in attempts to incriminate their victims, they are probably allowed to lie to the press. I believe Ms. Miller, a journalist, claimed that Fitzgerald, who had her thrown in jail for several months lied to her and got her to give incorrect testimony in the Libby case. Fitzgerald was never investigated for this.
However, it is time that the FBI and other government officials should be required to reveal their all their lies to defendants as potentially exculpatory material in any trials. This was recently ordered by the judge in the Flynn trial even though he had already pleaded guilty.
