In 2018 the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General (DOJ-OIG) highlighted numerous FBI officials who accepted bribes from multiple media outlets including: “tickets to sporting events”, “golf outings”, “drinks and meals” as well as exclusive invitations and admission to “nonpublic social events” {Go Deep}.
Today the OIG expanded on the investigation that stemmed from that original outline, and published new findings. Within the latest two page summary [pdf here], the “senior FBI official” is unnamed; however, prior research indicates it was former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe:
It is very frustrating to see that nothing is done to hold these corrupt FBI officials to account for such gross abuses of power and position. The dual system of justice in the United States is creating a very serious collapse in credibility for multiple institutions of government.
In my opinion, the larger accountability issue is intentionally being handled this way as part of the “fundamental change” objective of the radical group behind the installation of Obama. This is one continuum, and the lack of accountability is by design in the effort to perpetrate one ever-increasing, intentionally created crisis. The erosion of institutional credibility is a feature, not a flaw.
We are in a very precarious time, and must be careful as we are inundated by the openness of the corruption in the system. The radicals want a reaction; they want a strong -perhaps violent- reaction; as that plays into their larger objective. Misplaced anger toward the visibility of the corruption can be weaponized against us.
Michael Isikoff highlighted just how enmeshed media was/is with the FBI, DOJ and Fusion-GPS team in February 2018, when he admitted his reporting was being used by the DOJ and FBI to advance the political objectives of the intelligence community.
Additionally, FBI investigator Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page were shown in their text messages to be leaking stories from the Clinton Investigation, the Trump investigation and the Mueller investigation to journalists at Politico, The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. –SEE HERE–
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was busted by the Inspector General leaking stories to the media and then lying about it to INSD and IG investigators. FBI Director James Comey admitted to leaking stories to the New York Times, and even hired his friend Andrew Richman (off-the-books), gave him access to FBI and NSA databases, and then leaked information to Richman along with another friend Benjamin Wittes at Lawfare blog.
Lest we forget, the original IG report on how the FBI handled the Clinton investigation revealed that dozens of FBI officials were actually taking bribes from the media for information:
Jim Sciutto, Evan Perez and Carl Bernstein were coordinating the attack against President Trump through Jake Tapper’s show on CNN. The FBI small group were well aware of what the CNN crew were planning. This was a collaboration.
FBI Spokesperson Mike Kortan was coordinating the narrative on behalf of the FBI team. The FBI knew the underlying premise was entirely false, and likely so too did the CNN crew as we outlined in “The Anatomy of a Political Smear.”
I’m not going to waste time going over the issues again. {Go Deep Here – Go Deep Here} At this point, highlighting the accuracy of the past holds no value. Suffice to say the larger American electorate, ‘We The People’, just need to train ourselves how to spot this stuff when it happens. As long as people continue to believe in the U.S. media apparatus, it will be more difficult to break the cycle of abuse.
Our nation deserves better. We deserve better.
Perhaps the most alarming evidence of the FBI abuses of power and media collusion was found in a 2019 Buzzfeed story, when the Mueller team was at its apex. Buzzfeed News outlined how FBI agents assigned to Robert Mueller’s team actually leaked documents from their investigation to the media.
This admission is stunning. At the time of publication, I did not think Buzzfeed realized what they were admitting to. It’s in these paragraphs (emphasis mine):
(Buzzfeed) […] I’d also like to share an accounting of how we came to our characterization, to give our audience and people who reasonably raised questions about our reporting as much information as possible about how the story came to be.
Our story was based on detailed information from senior law enforcement sources. That reporting included documents — specifically, pages of notes that were taken during an interview of [Michael] Cohen by the FBI.
In those notes, one law enforcement source wrote that “DJT personally asked Cohen to say negotiations ended in January and White House counsel office knew Cohen would give false testimony to Congress. Sanctioned by DJT. Joint lawyer team reviewed letter Cohen sent to SSCI about his testimony about Trump Tower moscow, et al, knowing it contained lies.”
The law enforcement source also wrote: “Cohen told OSC” — the Office of Special Counsel — “he was asked to lie by DJT/DJT Jr., lawyers.” At the time, the sources asked reporters to keep the information confidential, but with the publication of Mueller’s report they have permitted its release. (read more)
Do you realize what Buzzfeed is saying right there? The FBI agents on the Muller team gave copies of their FD-302 reports (investigative notes) to Buzzfeed news !!
Notice the use of the plural “reporters“; specifically the way “reporters” is used in the paragraph, infers that multiple media outlets were given the same FBI leaked documents. Tell me again about the honorable “rank and file”… I digress.
Misplaced corrective action -regardless of intent- is not wise or prudent and may make things worse. We must start by understanding what the primary objective is for the radicals underneath the “fundamental change” agenda. Act locally to protect your family, your community and your state; but at the same time be engaged and connected to the larger American community that are also battling on their local levels.
Unfortunately, if nothing is said or reciprocity for their actions ..this will embolden them for even more crimes.
But the rank and file. What about those precious rank and file?
Dank and Vile.
Good question.
Nothing to say as they will be sent to the DC jail/gulag and never to be seen or heard from again.
You can produce a thousand “damning” IG reports on the FIB and DOJ but nothing changes until their political allies in DC start being voted out of office. The change comes at the local level DC is a cesspit of corruption leverage and lobbyist dollars.
“…the change comes at the local level..”

“Sorry sir, H is not a vowel” Fine Alex, just add one to the ow part of how to be your own detective dot com.
It’s time for that Convention of the States. Congress is too corrupt to ever do anything. They must be BYPASSED.
I am not content with them being “voted out of office”. (With all due respect to you.) This is treason and needs to be charged, prosecuted, and punished as such… so as to never encourage this to happen again!
To think they just leave office and retire to their ogliarchs, mega mansions, offshore shell corporations, and tax havens sends me straight over the edge.
No. Come Lord Jesus, come… before we lose ourselves to this righteous anger!!
Gatland just said NO DoJ investigations in the future for leaks…I am sure this only applies to Dimm/commie leaks however
You mean like stealing a presidential election?
How absurd is it that the OIG is in charge of oversight, but can only compel testimony of current employees if he gives them an assurance the information they give won’t result in criminal charges against them? What’s the point?
In my best Cankles voice – “What difference at this point does it make?”
The sunlight is not killing the parasites. In fact, they appear to be doubling down and are emboldened by the light. Why? Because there are no real repercussions and they perceive they are winning bigly. Who are we to deny it when we have no control? All we see is a pathetic excuse of a shizhole government that is controlled by criminals who seem to enjoy their sick, illegal activities.
We the people will stand down until they come for the ones we love. At that point all bets are off and it will not end until it ends.
Acting locally is key. If we collectively act locally we will be a powerful force. Don’t let them break you on the wall of Federal authority. Defy them and elect officials to do so locally. It diffuses the response. They can’t take that on successfully.

This stuff has been going on for a very long time. Curious how many other people start suing.
As for those guys leaking to the press – they were lying, not leaking.
There is always one tiny thing in their statements to the press, which turns it all into a lie, which FBI is allowed to do based on EO twelve-triple three (Excutive Order 12333).
No
Sundance, don’t you get tired of being right? It must depress you a little bit. The remedy is electing a Candidate that is committed to eliminating CIA,FBI,IRS DOE HOMELAND SECURITY, PATRIOT ACT, and I’m sure there are more
Nothing will change at the Federal level. It will change at the local and state levels when the FIBs political allies start getting choked out of congress.
You have to elect 218+ House Members, 60+ Senators, and a President all willing to do that.
Really hard to do. Takes at least 2 elections to change 60 seats in the Senate. Both Senate and House have members who are super secure and can get reelected for decades.
And all while you are trying to do that, the existing crooks in congress and the rest of the system are busy undermining everything you do. Bribing your elected officials. Blackmailing those who won’t take bribes. And destroying the rest with scandals. And the ‘pure as the driven snow’ types are the favorite targets of these crooks.
And that doesn’t include the efforts of your aforementioned spies against America who will fight their abolishment from spying against you tooth and nail.
Their purpose is to turn America into a communist country and throw all of us into gulags and re-education camps.
At some point we must respond or it will be too late if it is not already. Dear God in heaven help us to know what to do.
Not communist but corporatist. They want to see the blurring if corporation and government. Granted with socialist overtones of some big benefactor watching over all and a one size fits all society but not in a communist sense. Think Rollerball or Soylent Green and that’s more what they want.
That’s fascism
Of course but with a dependency on the mega corporation. Its happening right now they’re open about it. Psaki is almost gloating about the cooperation between bug tech and Joebama.in identifying and silencing political opposition. The intel agencies have the same relationship with big tech. This is the birthing stage. If they think they got away with it they start taking more .
I just hope Bill Ayers is among the first to be sent to the gulags.
Gallows
I still think our best defensive position will come from States standing against the Federal government.
It maybe necessary for all red states to secede.
But the very last thing that we need is armed violence they’re just waiting for that, the fallout would be a thousand times worse than Jan 6th.
I believe secession is probably our best option. It doesn’t have to involve war if both sides can agree to the separation.
Walter Williams recommended this since 2001.
Search “It’s Time to Part Company.”
Why not try an Article V Convention of the States, first? Then, if THAT fails, abandon ship!
I fail to see how “the fallout” would end up any differently then where we will end up on this course.
Our Sacred Liberties abrogated and ourselves incarcerated in our homes.
You see the reality. Most here and elsewhere are under the impression that there is a way out of this tyranny through the failed and subverted systems of government. They control the media, which alone would make it very difficult, then realize they also control the intelligence Agencies, the state and justice departments, the judicial system along with the executive and legislative branch.
They will only stop when stopped.
That is the only chance we have!
“Misplaced anger toward the visibility of the corruption can be weaponized against us.”
We can be angry as the day is long, and righteously so, but I think the meaning here is that we should not be the first to use force. If in self defense, of course you use force, but even in that case we have to make sure there is video showing that we were not the aggressors. This is why the capitol police won’t release video: they were the aggressors.
They (the federal government agencies) are purposely trying to provoke us. They call it bird dogging. If we attack first, that is their excuse to use force. They want us to be seen as aggressors so they can justify what they want to do. We can’t let that happen. We know our enemy and should not fall for that trick.
We have to respond by organizing into large enough groups of peaceful protestors. We also have to win over the police to our side. It would be a bad mistake to alienate the police or the sheriffs.
We can’t be even the second to use force if we don’t Organize, Militarize and Train.
See the history place, prelude to revolution
Meanwhile…
IOW, a process crime. How shocking!
This is their go-to method, charging a FARA violation. Why does ANYONE even talk to the FBI anymore? When will Giuliani be indicted, because he’s not backing down and they’ve got to silence him.
They are turning Trump into a piranha. Would you want to work for or be friends with some guy that is gonna put you on the Feds radar?
He is going to have a hell of a time filling his next administration.
It’s worse than cancel culture, it’s incarceration culture
piranha = pariah??
LOL, yes! Looks like my Alzheimer’s is kicking in again
This is why they evacuated the capitol. Fake bomb threat from the FBI. The whole thing was a set-up to create the “deadly insurrection” narrative.
If Capitol security had said turn around don’t come in, 99% of the people on the steps would have just left.
Capitol police unlocked and opened the doors.
We are in the midst of a Marxist takeover of this country and in order for it to succeed the very fabric that binds us together must be torn apart…Destroy our family, our individuality, truth eternal,our national identity, and our history.
Cultural/class warfare will not work here so it will be race warfare…don’t fall for it.
We must lose faith in our courts, law enforcement, institutions, constitution, our neighbor and ultimately God…don’t fall for it.
They want us to tear it apart.
They want us at war with each other so that out of that chaos they will win.
the same playbook that the Axis Powers thought would win!
How precisely is the current Administration any different than The Axis Powers?
If those powers had to be made war on, why is this admin except.
It appears to me the Axis has won, while many council peace.
They’ve won already.
By your logic the Founders were wrong to Rebel.
Exactly. Controlled opposition is everywhere. Wonder how one can know that the Presidential election was stolen and at the same time plan to overcome the subversion through the system? They control the elections.
The 2nd amendment is the only way out and yet it will likely only materialize after its too late.
No
I’m tired of hearing how wonderful 99/% of FBI, local and state police, and teachers are. If 99% of them were so wonderful there would be more whistleblowers, more FBI agents and cops would refuse to break the constitutional rights of our citizens, and teachers would stand up and refuse to indoctrinate our kids with CRT BS and mask mandates for children. It sickens me to see the local police arrest parents at school boards meetings for talking loud.
I want to see local and state law enforcement refuse to assist the FBI on raids and I want to see our governors start kicking the feds out of our states. When or if this happens they will have my full support. Until then, no more free donuts.
The mythical 99%. That’s been busted.
Slightly less mythical than that John Durham character.
Didn’t the former Supreme Court nominee, now Att. Gen. , Merrit Garland just issue a memo that the DOJ and FBI would no longer seize documents or electronic items from reporters in investigations of “illegal leaks”???
” Don’t worry, Boys, I got your back. We aren’t going to really really investigate you when you leak to the press” Shouldn’t someone in Congress be asking questions about this new policy which amounts to a “Get out of Jail Free” policy.
Didnt Garland just announce the DOJ will not follow investigation of leaks to the press? This IG report is toilet paper while Garland is protecting the relationship between FIB and media.
Same old story over and over, the Deep State is in charge, the Stock Market is a rigged closed game, FBI is only out done by the corruption and deceit of SCOTUS, Democrats like the GOPe are bought and paid for by China, we got a Hooker and Lurker running the country as the Alphabet government agencies race for first place on their way to HeLL with the Propaganda Media living of the nipple nursing stupidity etc.
Imho, the only Hope for this country and the 100 million Deplorables is President Donald J. Trump, a large group of Real Americans backed up by God. I wait patiently for the sounding of the Drums. However, if those well aware of the situation,! , do not get on with getting on with the solution ASAP! The only help will be God by HIMSELF! HE can and Will handle the matter. We await.
The enforcers for TPTB have for decades have been laying the groundwork for what we are living through today. In the early 1970’s during tremendous social and political upheaval the Feds got scared sh*tless when they witnessed the exasperated people demonstrating and as riots raged nation wide. They saw that they had to get control of any movement that was a threat to their ruthless power or the fun and games would be over. So they set out to Co-opt and control or steer those they saw as potential leaders of any opposition or governmental reform movement. The current crop of political enforcers are the willing philosophical heirs of the Nazi scum who were brought here after WW2 by the OSS home grown Fascists. They have a plan all laid out for dissident Americans. The battlefield has been prepped by these traitors. All they are waiting for is some one to get the party started. They are quite fearful of the monster they created by their lies. Many innocents will be hurt if we react precipitously or take the bait. Don’t play their games. They have been working this con for a long time. They are pros.
TPTB through the efforts of the OSS also brought Nazi scientists and “doctors” to our shores after WW2. Dr. Fauci and the big Nazi pharma crowd seem to be their natural heirs along with mr bill gates. The cult of death roles on. Maybe the Nazi’s really won the war.
They did philosophically.
But that’s because Marxist Socialists are philosophically identical to Nazis.
Defund the FBI. No money no mischief. But that would take a House and Senate that was controlled by a political party with members that wernt blackmailed and had the courage to follow through.
The FBI is just carrying on a honored tradition started in earnest in 1972 by former FBI Associate Director Mark “Deep Throat” Felt, as he met on numerous occasions with Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward in a DC parking garage.
“We are in a very precarious time, and must be careful as we are inundated by the openness of the corruption in the system. The radicals want a reaction; they want a strong -perhaps violent- reaction; as that plays into their larger objective. Misplaced anger toward the visibility of the corruption can be weaponized against us.”
In this time of competing Big Lie vs Big Lie narratives, Miranda warnings are revised: 1. You do not have to respond our Big Lie narratives or in anyway indicate disagreement. 2. If you do so respond, everything you say can and will be used in a court of law against you. 3. You have the right to be represented by counsel (but your counsel better watch what they say, because disagreeing with our Big Lie can result in their disbarment, and indictment). 4. If you cannot afford counsel, one will be supplied free of charge to you, from a cadre of left-leaning would-be ambulance chasers who depend upon paid criminal referrals for their meagre existence, while waiting for a big contingency victory.
Now remind me who released the strock/page messages and why.
The loose ends and used up assets from all the 2016 to 2017 efforts are being set up for removal and retirement.
There are more “resets” happening than in the financial world. Totalitarian and Communist Governments have always have purges now and then, to remove rivals, those embarrassing the cause and those no longer of use. It would be useful to use the purge as a distraction to settle the restless natives in la la land and removal event.
Newsom, Cuomo and Whitmire have already been set up for removal via primary or other legal action.
The FBI must be disarmed and forbidden to arrest ANYONE ! Then, the FBI must be disbanded. They are not stopping crimes. They are facilitating them. The FBI is a dangerous, out-of-control tool of Leftist tyrants.
People keep saying we are afraid to fight. I haven’t heard anyone identify our enemy….. Lets start there
So you don’t know?
Draw a circle around the beltloop, and the city hall of every major American city, and the State House of every blue state.
“There, that’s enough to be going on with.”
“The erosion of institutional credibility is a feature, not a flaw.”
EXACTLY
And so is the creation of doubt regarding the integrity of our elections.
THOSE TWO THINGS (the perception of honest elections, and trustworthy governmental institutions) underpinned AMERICAN GREATNESS.
Obama and his creators have done more to accomplish the destruction of BOTH of those perceptions than any foreign agent could have ever wished for.
FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE!
This might be a somewhat misplaced comment…. Just over a month ago a reporter named Christopher Sign passed away (he was the reporter who broke the Clinton / Lynch tarmac meeting) from what we were told was being investigated as suicide.
I just checked and after more than a month there are still no details on how he supposedly killed himself. It just states he was found dead with no explanation as to how?
Kinda of like Phil Haney? This is the most recent thing I’ve found.
Haney was a founding member of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and an expert in the Islamic religious doctrines that influence members of that faith to commit terrorist attacks.
He had conducted research that likely would have stopped the Islamic jihad attack by a husband and wife team that killed 14 Americans, wounding 22 others, at an office Christmas party on Dec. 2, 2015, in San Bernardino, California.
Just a few months before that attack, in July 2015, Haney had retired and all his data had been wiped from government servers under the Obama administration’s purge of all negative references to Islam in federal law enforcement manuals….
Philip’s life was in danger for two reasons. First, he was about to come out with a second book that was going to name names of people in the Washington establishment who worked to suppress information he felt was critical to saving American lives in the war against Islamic terrorism.
Secondly, there were reports from some of Haney’s friends in government that he had received word just weeks before his death that he was going to be rehired into the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security.
https://leohohmann.com/2021/02/22/one-year-later-death-of-american-hero-philip-haney-remains-a-mystery-as-fbi-stonewalls-investigation/
This is the kind of info that has been predicted would start coming out.
Why have an OIG if nothing ever happens but at worst a slap on the wrist?! What exactly is the point except for each “side” to go on Twitter rants???
Since no one went to jail or got fired the last time this happened, like two years ago, why is anyone surprised this keeps happening.
One goal of this deliberate allowing of criminal conduct in the eph bee eye:
condition the “a jents” to know they can commit crimes against American citizens at no risk.
When they are needed be the globo/uniparty to be the new Waffen SS of Amerika, they will be conditioned, practiced and able to do the worst.
If President Trump promise, to clean up the corruption on the fedreal govt. he got my vote for 2024.
As long as there are zero consequences for these unethical, and illegal activities. As long as nobody is held to account, they will continue. The publics trust in these institutions is destroyed.
Pres. Trump is going to have an interesting campaign platform when he runs for re-election in 2024, or, you’re one of those super positive types, when he is declared the rightful winner of the 2020 election, and voted in after the GOP Congress impeaches and removes Biden in early 2023.
But I digress.
The campaign and plan of action is going to have to include ripping up these corrupt institutions root and branch. That means wide spread firings and furloughs. Total decapitation of the current DC establishment.
As Cap’ says, “It all goes.”
Why does he always go on Fox? Its controlled, seems like he would know that. Hmm
Because they allow him on, and there’s an audience he wants to reach. I haven’t watched fox since they fired dobbs, but Carlson, Hannity, Ingraham, and Maria Bartoromo are doing yeomens’ work.
The corruption and incompetence of most Federal agencies is breathtaking. Quick example. The Tamarack Fire that has blown up near Markleeville California was caused by a lighting strike. One lone tree burning that the Forest Service decided to “watch” with aircraft and fire cameras. Oh, but low and behold, winds and low humidity caused the fire to blow up and it is now over 39,000 acres with mandatory evacuations in towns, housing areas, and small communities. The smoke billowing into the Carson Valley is horrendous. They could have easily put the fire out with aircraft when it first started, but the environmental whackos that now run the Forest Service don’t like to put out lighting caused fires in “remote” areas. Not so “remote” anymore. I have lost all respect and don’t trust the FBI, DOJ, CIA, Forest Service, BLM, etc. etc. When Trump wins a second term, the first business should be massive downsizing of the Federal bureaucracy and firing most at the top. Anyone in management appointed by Democrats should be dismissed immediately and their top assistants should be laid off.
We now have foreign intelligence agencies in our country. They are run by people who are paid foreign actors and lady justice is no longer blind unless you are attempting to repair the corruption and even our military is as corrupt as the politicians
And with the Biden Crime Family in power along with radical commie leftist socialists , how can any US legal citizen trust the NSA, FBI, CIA or DIA with US secrets and doing the best for US interests and not their own allies in the DNC????
We, still, are being kept in the dark as to why none of this corruption was removed, corrected or in any way held to account during the 1st Trump administration. It can’t be solely because Barr was a turncoat. The mechanisms that prevented sunlight from hitting the Swamp cannot be removed if we don’t know what they are. At some point soon, here’s hoping the MAGA movement hears the answers from President Trump himself.
Is there another possibility? Think real hard.. hmm
The current admin put out a notice for Americans to monitor your family and relatives for radicalized behavior. Maybe a similar notice should go out to the FBI… to monitor their fellow FBI employees and report inappropriate and criminal behavior.
Yes, it’s Buzzfeed , but it’s interesting. Speaking of dirty feebs.
Might note that the DOJ is trying to tie the MI Capitol protest to J6 and seems the judge was kinda buying it.
I didn’t realize some of the defendants are Boogaloos. Kinda hard to categorize them. I’d say they are more ideological than political since they didn’t like Trump & I know they provided “security” for BLM in Kenosha and elsewhere out West this summer. Not exactly anarchists….best I could do was radical Libertarian, lol

Plato, suggested that all governments go through five stages or regimes of development. The five stages are kingship or aristocracy, timocracy, oligarchy, democracy, and tyranny. If true, at what stage are we?
At the end the day, they have become more brazen and more and more are outed because there are no consequences for their actions.
Our Constitution was written to force the fox to protect the hen house but instead it’s selling eggs to
the Chinese and leaking the combination for the lock on the gate so anyone can get in.
Our government is no longer of the people, by the people, and for the people. Hence, it is time to address this situation to regain control of our God given rights, and our rights as written within our founding document “The Constitution of the United States of America” as written by our founding fathers.
Almost 5 years later, an IG report on kleptocrats that have long since left office. What was the point?
Summing it up…
I’m sure our elected reps have all benefited from those corporate entities also. Why doesn’t the IG release its finding on those in congress. Or even this idiotic phony president and his goofball vice president.
“Michael Isikoff highlighted just how enmeshed media was/is with the FBI, DOJ and Fusion-GPS team in February 2018, when he admitted his reporting was being used by the DOJ and FBI to advance the political objectives of the intelligence community.”
After he got caught. This idiot’s “reporting” of leaked data was mentioned in the meuller report as one of the reasons the FBI opened an investigation. Some admission.
How about the Michigan stunt. FBI had 12 informants directing the insurrection. REVOLVER.com
