Last weekend former FBI Director James Comey said there were multiple officials remaining within the DOJ and FBI who were actively working to continue the weaponization of the agencies against President Donald Trump. When asked about it earlier today, President Trump said Acting AG Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel would root them out and deal with the issue.
Hours later the Dept of Justice released and indictment {SEE HERE} against Managing Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Fort Pierce Branch, Carmen M. Lineberger. Asst USAO Lineberger was caught downloading classified files from the Jack Smith case to her personal email and labeling them as recipes so she could leak them to Lawfare resistance members.
According to FBI Director Kash Patel, “This afternoon, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump has been charged with stealing the confidential investigation documents. Carmen Lineberger allegedly emailed the confidential material to her own personal email, disguising them as dessert recipes to conceal them from record searches. Lineberger is charged with four felony counts in the indictment. This FBI will not hesitate to bring to account those who violated the trust of the American public in an investigation that should’ve never been brought to begin with.” {link}
The files Ms. Lineberger is accused of stealing, relate to the Jack Smith case files from the Mar-a-Lago investigation that Judge Aileen Cannon previously sealed. [Link Below] It appears attorney Carmen Lineberger was in the process of covering her tracks when she was discovered downloading the material and transmitting it outside the U.S. Attorney offices. {INDICTMENT HERE}
After Special Counsel Jack Smith was dispatched by Judge Aileen Cannon, his team continued to organize materials to frame the hit against an incoming Trump administration. Judge Cannon calls out this wrongdoing as part of her ruling to keep all the records sealed. [Ruling pdf Here]
“While it is true that former special counsels have released final reports at the conclusion of their work,” Cannon wrote, “it appears they have done so either after electing not to bring charges at all or after adjudications of guilt by plea or trial. The Court strains to find a situation in which a former special counsel has released a report after initiating criminal charges that did not result in a finding of guilt.”

Fafo
👉Looks like getting caught sending “cake recipes” is similar to getting caught with hand “in the cookie jar”👈
For Hillary it was her daughters’ wedding plans. Reminder: a wedding paid for by unsuspecting donors.
Someone left the cake out in the rain, and I don’t think that I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it, and I’ll never have that recipe again……Oh No……. (With apologies to Jimmy Webb)
Hang ‘em high for committing treason and the recidivism rate for traitors will drop like a trap door on a gallows.
Lineberger was indicted for downloading classified files…
Not a Nothingburger 🙂
soon the jailbirds will be singing
Retired Magistrate here: Good, now she can she what it is like to be a defendant in a criminal case. Except this time, she is the one who actually did something criminal.
Question now is, was she successful in sending them from her personal email to CNN and MSDNC.
Ooh. Now do the Supreme Court leaker………
What was Pam Bondi doing? I means really. WTF was she doing??
Ever since she got canned the DOJ is on fire!
She is either horribly inept or crooked as the day is long.
Both appear to apply!
Or both……
Ultra vires – an act done without legal authority to do so. For the other legal illiterates like me.
This is NOT “rooting out”, this is getting caught. She’s already pled ‘not guilty’ at her arraignment today, so NO plea deal should be offered nor considered, they need to throw the book at her. That is unless she starts coughing up others, many-many others with proof-positive results of rogue activities. This will begin the “rooting out” process.
More post-Bondi progress. Moar!
AG Blanche should be promoted to official AG.
So far, so good…
Hopefully, her emails will reveal the web of the other little shits.
Lineberger?
I’ll bet that’s not her maiden name.
It will be interesting to see who her husband is.
Amazing how with Blondi now gone, things happen 😂
Hmmm, caught clean and clear. I’d definitely be fine with knocking down to misdemeanor with not time served for cooperation moving up the ladder. “Show us the emails/texts/communication from someone requesting you do this.”
I’m sure the current DOJ could easily get the info………of course, a Biden bunch would just do it regardless of 4th Amendment.
