Understanding Why There's No FBI Whistleblowers Outlining Institutional Corruption….
Posted on December 25, 2019 | by sundance
To understand why there's no-one in the administrative mid-tier of the FBI acting in a whistle-blowing capacity requires a background perspective looking at the totality of corruption. The institutions are protecting themselves; and yes, that protection applies to the internal dynamics.
Former DAG Rod Rosenstein was dirty. He might not have started out dirty, but his actions in office created a dirty mess. Rosenstein facilitated the McCabe operation against Trump during the May 16th, 2017, White House FBI sting against Trump with Mueller. Rosenstein also facilitated the special counsel (writ large), and provided three scope memos to expand the corrupt investigation of President Trump. According to the inaction of AG Bill Barr, we're not allowed to see those authorizing scope memos.
Additionally, despite knowing the Trump investigation held a false predicate, Rosenstein signed the 3rd renewal of a fraudulent FISA application. Worse yet, even if Rosenstein was caught up by corruption around him, he did nothing to stop the fraud once identified.
Why is Rosenstein a key inflection point? Because Rod Rosenstein recommended current FBI Director Christopher Wray to President Trump. POTUS then allowed Wray, as he does all department heads, to select his deputy – Wray chose David Bowditch.
♦Keep in mind the National Security Division of the DOJ (DOJ-NSD) was/is the epicenter of many corrupt activities, including filing the fraudulent FISA application, manipulating interpretations of law for FARA (§901) violations, and doing all of this while denying any inspector general oversight. As FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer recently noted, the DOJ-NSD is positioned as a rogue legal arm of the U.S. intelligence apparatus.
So from Rosenstein we got: Chris Wray, David Bowditch, Dana Boente and another dubious DOJ recommendation, DC U.S. Attorney Jessie K Liu (ref. Awan Bros and James Wolfe). Keep this in mind moving forward.
Another career corrupt-o-crat to come out of the DOJ-NSD, who was also involved in the fraudulent legal filings was the lead lawyer for the division, Michael Atkinson.
Atkinson was moved from DOJ-NSD to become the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). Yes, the same IGIC who manipulated the rules and regulations to allow the hearsay Ukraine CIA "whistleblower", Eric Ciaramella.
What we end up with is a brutally obvious, convoluted, network of corrupt officials; each carrying an independent reason to cover their institutional asses… each individual interest forms a collective fraudulent scheme inside the machinery of the FBI apparatus.
The motive behind the DOJ/FBI effort to cover for Senate Intelligence Committee Security Director James Wolfe's unlawful classified information leaks, is connected to this network and expands into the SSCI Chairman (Richard Burr) and Vice-Chair Mark Warner.
Security Director Wolfe was working on instructions from inside the committee itself; his leak of the FISA application to journalist Ali Watkins was in alignment with the intents/motives of the SSCI in March 2017. Dirty politicians corrupting staff.
The DOJ and FBI didn't charge James Wolfe with the leaking of classified information because it would have exposed corruption within the SSCI. Wolfe was prepared to call the senators in his defense…. this could not be allowed. The SSCI has oversight over the intelligence community to include the FBI, DOJ, DOJ-NSD, CIA, ODNI etc.
How does all of this corruption come together?…. More importantly how does this level of institutional corruption create the inability of FBI whistle-blowers to come forward?
♦ The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is the approver for any nominations for any executive appointed position involving the intelligence community.
If the senate intel committee wants to block the nomination, likely adverse to their interests, they can… simply, they don't take it up. (See Trump's attempt to appoint Representative John Ratcliffe as ODNI as an example.)
However, along with approving Wray and Bowditch, the SSCI also approved former DOJ-NSD legal counsel Michael Atkinson to become Intelligence Community Inspector General. Who would an honest intelligence whistle-blower have to go through? Dirty Michael Atkinson.

CLINT EASTWOOD AHEAD OF THE CURVE ON THE FBI
19.12.2019 | USA | By Curtis Ellis
From Spaghetti Westerns to Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood has carved out an image as the righter of wrongs, settling scores and protecting the innocent. In Eastwood's latest outing as a director, "Richard Jewell," he's protecting us from our protectors.
Twenty years before Carter Page there was Richard Jewell.
Jewell's all-too-true story serves as a cautionary tale about the FBI's casual abuse of power, and also as a not so esoteric commentary on the "Crossfire Hurricane" debacle.
Paul Walter Hauser plays Jewell, the security guard originally lauded as a hero for discovering pipe bombs that killed two and injured over 100 others in Atlanta's Centennial Park during the 1996 Olympics.
Within three days, the FBI had fingered Jewell as its prime suspect. The real culprit was captured six years and several bombings later.
Sam Rockwell plays G. Watson Bryant, Jewell's lawyer and long-time friend. Jon Hamm plays the imperious FBI agent who led the investigation.
There are those who would believe a few bad apples were responsible for the monstrous abuses we see in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and presidency.
But watching "Richard Jewell" makes one wonder if there's not a manual of sleazy practices passed down inside the bureau since the days of J. Edgar Hoover. We see how the FBI played the same dirty tricks on Jewell that it used on Carter Page, Michael Flynn, and the rest.
The bureau chose Jewell as its target based on the flimsiest of evidence: A profiler decided Jewell was a law enforcement wannabe who planted the bomb so he could get attention for having discovered it—the "profile" of a lone bomber. Confirmation bias took over, and investigators distorted everything to fit their pre-ordained conclusion.
The parallels between Jewell, Page, and the others caught up in the Trump investigation don't end there.
Just as the FBI did with Flynn in January 2017, agents used a false pretext when they interviewed Jewell.
They told Flynn he didn't need a lawyer for what was a routine interview when in fact they were gathering evidence for their Crossfire Hurricane con job.
They told Jewell they wanted him to be in a training video about bomb detection they were making. "For the sake of authenticity," they then asked him to sign away his constitutional rights to have a lawyer present "since this is how we'd actually do it with a real suspect."
A Justice Department internal investigation later said the deception was "a major error in judgment" but concluded there was "no intentional violation of Mr. Jewell's civil rights and no criminal misconduct" by the FBI agents. (Emphasis added.) No intent, no bias, no criminal wrongdoing. Sounds familiar, doesn7t it?
The worst the agents faced was a temporary suspension or letter of reprimand. As Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) said, it's "easier to divorce your spouse" than to get fired from the FBI.
Agents wired Jewell's friends and sent them in to record "friendly" conversations with their target. They also ignored exculpatory evidence, just as Inspector General Michael Horowitz found they did with Carter Page.
They conducted highly visible searches of his home while the media watched, akin to the televised raid of Roger Stone's home.
The media is Eastwood's other villain. As Jewell's lawyer says in the film, the two most powerful forces in America, the government and the media, targeted his client.
We know James Comey and others used leaks and a complicit media to foist the Russia hoax on the public and whip Washington into a frenzy. Similarly, agents leaked Jewell's name to a media eager to perpetuate the myth of the FBI's infallibility.
Non-spoiler alert: A controversy over the film's depiction of a reporter using sex to get information from the FBI agent does not detract from the larger point.
We hear Tom Brokaw declare authoritatively: "The speculation is that the FBI is close to making the case. They probably have enough to arrest him right now, probably enough to prosecute him, but you always want to have enough to convict him as well."
The Bryant Gumbel stand-in in a reenacted "Today Show" interview asks why would the FBI investigate Jewell if he weren't guilty of something.
In contrast, we hear Nadia, the Russian-born assistant to Jewell's attorney, say, "Where I come from if the government says someone is guilty you know they are innocent."
The unholy alliance between the FBI and the media predates even Richard Jewell—it is straight out of the J. Edgar Hoover playbook.
For decades, Hoover's FBI harassed and gathered dossiers on Martin Luther King, civil rights activists, antiwar leaders, and others. He regularly would feed dirt on them to friendly reporters. Civil libertarians warned that the FBI's secret machinations threatened our democracy.
In the 1970s, the U.S. Senate's Church Committee discovered intelligence agencies and the FBI kept files on thousands of Americans and peddled disinformation to the news media.
Such abuses led Congress to establish Senate and House Intelligence Oversight committees—and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court—to protect us from our protectors. For all the good they've done.
It shows profound ignorance, misunderstanding, or disregard for history for Democrats to invoke the name of Martin Luther King as they've done in their recent impeachment putsch.
Security operatives of our government used the same tactics against King—surveillance, leaks, guilt by association—they used against the Trump campaign and his presidency.
Democrats and anyone else needing a refresher course on history and abuse of government power need to see "Richard Jewell."
Early in the film, we see Jewell abusing his authority as a campus security guard just as the FBI would do later. The message is clear: Power corrupts.
The temptation to abuse power dwells in everyone's heart. Ask Stanley Milgram.
Sharp-eyed viewers will catch the foundational message of Clint Eastwood's film in the caption on a poster hanging on the wall behind Jewell's attorney in his law office: "The government scares me more than terrorists."
