Last week, the FBI raided the home of a whistleblower who had turned over to the DOJ and Congress documents related to the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One. Those documents showed that federal officials failed to look into possible criminal activity related to the scandal.
Whistleblower Dennis Nathan Cain, a former FBI contractor, had already voluntarily provided the documents to the DOJ’s inspector general and the House and Senate Intelligence committees. But the FBI decided to raid his house anyway. A federal agent claimed Cain possessed stolen federal property. They sent an army of 16 agents to search his residence for six hours.
Strange
It was a strange thing to do. Cain had voluntarily provided information. The law protects whistleblowers. When the agents appeared at his door, he cooperated and handed over what documents he had. He told them the law recognizes him as a whistleblower. But they continued searching.
