DOJ watchdog: Former FBI official illegally leaked court docs, disclosed 'sensitive' information and took gift from media

The Justice Department's internal watchdog announced in an investigative summary released Wednesday that an unnamed former FBI deputy assistant director engaged in "misconduct," including leaking "sensitive" information to the media, violating federal law by disclosing sealed court records and taking a gift from someone in the media.

Nevertheless, the inspector general (IG) indicated, without explanation, that "prosecution of the DAD [deputy assistant director] was declined." The investigation's findings will be referred to the FBI for potential further action, the IG said...

@Bigun

I sure hope this doesn't become SOP. My hope is that this DAD flipped on a bunch of other criminals.

You are reading my mind again! The fix is in and has been from day one.  This great experiment in self-government is on its deathbed.

If I can read the words 'Federal pension and benefits are eliminated' I could accept.

I'm still willing to give AG Barr some more time...  he is well aware of this problem (thanks to Jim Jordan and some others) and has begun to take some action; he needs to finish this aspect of the job (soon!).

I pray you are right and that he is successful but I greatly fear it won't happen.

Barr will be just as effective as the president eliminating Brennan's security clearance.  Just no justice in Washington.  NONE!

How does an avowed communist get security clearance?  This is no longer the USA!  Our sovereignty went up in smoke with the community organizer!
