BREAKING NEWS FBI RAIDS HOME OF CLINTON FOUNDATION

FBI agents raided the home of a recognized Department of Justice whistleblower who privately

delivered documents pertaining to the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One to a government

watchdog, according to the whistleblower's attorney.

The Justice Department's inspector general was informed that the documents show that

federal officials failed to investigate potential criminal activity regarding former Secretary

of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and Rosatom, the Russian company that purchased

Uranium One, a document reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation alleges.

The delivered documents also show that then-FBI Director Robert Mueller failed to enforce

criminal laws pertaining to Rosatom and to other Russian government entities attached

to Uranium One, the document reviewed by TheDCNF alleges.

Mueller is now the special counsel investigating whether Donald Trump's presidential campaign

colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.

"The bureau raided my client to seize what he legally gave Congress about the Clinton

Foundation and Uranium One," the whistleblower's lawyer, Michael Socarras, told TheDCNF, noting

that he considered the FBI's raid to be an "outrageous disregard" of whistleblower

protections.

Sixteen agents arrived at the home of Dennis Nathan Cain, a former FBI contractor, on the

morning of Nov. 19 and raided his Union Bridge, Maryland, home, Socarras told TheDCNF.

The raid was permitted by a court order signed on Nov. 15 by Magistrate Judge Stephanie A.

Gallagher in the U.S. District Court for Baltimore and obtained by TheDCNF.

A special agent from the FBI's Baltimore division, who led the raid, charged that Cain

possessed stolen federal property and demanded entry to his private residence, Socarras told

TheDCNF.

"On Nov. 19, the FBI conducted court authorized law enforcement activity in the Union Bridge,

Maryland area," bureau spokesman Dave Fitz told TheDCNF.

"At this time, we have no further comment."

Cain informed the agent while he was still at the door that he was a recognized protected

whistleblower under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act and that Justice

Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz recognized his whistleblower status, according

to Socarras.

Cain further told the FBI agent the potentially damaging classified information had been properly

transmitted to the Senate and House Intelligence committees as permitted under the act, Socarras

said.

The agent immediately directed his agents to begin a sweep of the suburban home anyway.

Frightened and intimidated, Cain promptly handed over the documents, Socarras told TheDCNF.

Yet even after surrendering the information to the FBI, the agents continued to rummage

through the home for six hours.

"After asking and getting my approval to do so, DOJ IG Michael Horowitz had a member

of his staff physically take Mr. Cain's classified document disclosure to the House

and Senate Intelligence committees," Socarras told TheDCNF.

"For the bureau to show up at Mr. Cain's home suggesting that those same documents

are stolen federal property, and then proceed to seize copies of the same documents after

being told at the house door that he is a legally protected whistleblower who gave them

to Congress, is an outrageous disregard of the law," he continued.

Cain came across the potentially explosive information while working for an FBI contractor,

Socarras told TheDCNF.

Cain met with a senior member of Horowitz's office at a church close to the White House

to deliver the documents to the IG, according to Socarras.

He sat in a pew with a hoodie and sunglasses, Socarras said.

Cain held a double-sealed envelope containing a flash drive with the documents.

The IG official met him and, without saying a word, took the pouch over Cain's shoulder

and left.

If the complaint is found credible, the law protecting whistleblowers, which covers employees

of government contractors, requires the IG to share such information with the attorney

general — who at the time was Jeff Sessions.

The two law enforcement officials directed the documents be sent to the Senate and House

Intelligence committees for their examination, according to Socarras, who said that a high-level

IG official hand-delivered the documents to the two intelligence committees.

"I cannot believe the bureau informed the federal magistrate who approved the search

warrant that they wanted to search the home of an FBI whistleblower to seize the information

that he confidentially disclosed to the IG and Congress," Socarras told TheDCNF.

The whistleblower act is intended to protect whistleblowers within the intelligence community,

which includes the FBI.

"The (intelligence community) is committed to providing its personnel the means to report

violations of law," according to a 2016 intelligence community directive.

"The (whistleblower act) authorizes employees of contractors to take government property

and give it to the two intelligence committees confidentially," Socarras told TheDCNF.

The FBI has yet to talk to Cain's attorney despite the raid, according to Socarras.

"After the raid, and having received my name and phone number from Mr. Cain as his

lawyer, an FBI agent actually called my client directly to discuss his seized electronics,"

Socarras told TheDCNF.

"Knowingly bypassing the lawyer of a represented client is serious

misconduct."

PRESIDENT TRUMP BLINDSIDES DEMOCRATS – LEAVES HILLARY AND HER DIRTY HELPERS 'DEVASTATED' - Duration: 10:15.

PRESIDENT TRUMP BLINDSIDES DEMOCRATS – LEAVES HILLARY AND HER DIRTY HELPERS 'DEVASTATED'

President Trump gave an in-depth interview to the New York Post.

In it, he laid it on the table for the Democrats and blindsided them.

If they insist on the never-ending probes and harassment against him and his administration,

he's going to make them pay a very heavy price.

The steps he would take would stun the Democrats and especially Hillary Clinton and her minions.

Trump said that he would declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents from Robert

Mueller's probe.

This would allegedly show a conspiracy between the FBI, the DOJ and the Clinton campaign

in order to set Trump up and stop him from being president.

The president is not one to show his cards early however and will only out the documents

when they are needed.

Trump is a scrapper – he'll give as good or better than he gets and the Democrats are

about to find that out.

The New York Post has more on this high stakes game:

In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Post, President Trump said Wednesday that

if House Democrats launched probes into his administration — which he called "presidential

harassment" — they'd pay a heavy price.

"If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want to go and harass the president

and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me.

I'm a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they'd never been hit like that,"

he said during a 36-minute Oval Office sitdown.

The commander-in-chief said he could declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents

from Robert Mueller's probe — and predicted the disclosure would expose the FBI, the Justice

Department, and the Clinton campaign as being in cahoots to set him up.

"I think that would help my campaign.

If they want to play tough, I will do it.

They will see how devastating those pages are."

But Trump told The Post he wanted to save the documents until they were needed.

"It's much more powerful if I do it then," Trump said, "because if we had done it already,

it would already be yesterday's news."

Trump revealed his playbook just as Democrats are set to take over House committeesin January

where they are poised to investigate his potential business conflicts of interests, tax returns,

Russia dealings and more.

With the GOP losing power in January, its congressional investigations into alleged

Department of Justice misconduct in launching the Russia probe is expected to fizzle out.

In September, a group of Trump allies in the House – led by Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York

– called on Trump to declassify scores of Justice Department documents they believe

undercut the start of the Russia investigation and show bias against Trump.

The documents include Justice officials' request to surveil Trump campaign adviser

Carter Page and memos on DOJ official Bruce Ohr's interactions with Christopher Steele,

the author of a controversial dossier that alleged Trump ties with Russia.

Trump initially agreed to declassify the documents, including text messages sent by former FBI

officials James Comey, Andrew G. McCabe as well as Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Ohr. Trump

allies believe the revelations will show favoritism toward Hillary Clinton and a plot to take

down Trump.

Trump then reversed course, citing the need for further review and concern of US allies.

Trump added Wednesday that his lawyer Emmet Flood thought it would be better politically

to wait.

"He didn't want me to do it yet, because I can save it," Trump said.

The president also pushed back on the notion that all the Justice Department documents

should eventually be released for the sake of transparency.

"Some things maybe the public shouldn't see because they are so bad," Trump said,

making clear it wasn't damaging to him, but to others.

"Maybe it's better that the public not see what's been going

on

with

this country."
