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."

Man Utd news: David de Gea will SNUB new contract to leave club - ESPN pundit claims - Duration: 3:11.

 That is according to former Arsenal striker and now ESPN pundit Paul Mariner. United triggered the option to extend De Gea's current contract this week for an extra year

 But there has been talk that the decision has been made so that they don't lose him on a free transfer

 Jordan Pickford has been linked with a move to Old Trafford should Jose Mourinho let De Gea leave the club

 Now according to Mariner, the Spanish No 1 will seek a way out of United. "No [he doesn't stay long term]

If I'm a Man United fan, I'm panicking," he told ESPN FC. "You can argue whether he's number one in the world, number two in the world

I think he's number one in the world. "They've not been able to button him down to a long-term contract which is very surprising

 "This is Manchester United, and for them not to be able to button down this guy, it's a big shock

" With United currently in seventh place, De Gea will be worried about the prospect of not playing Champions League football next season

 And Mariner believes that the goalkeeper will not be best pleased with the current state of affairs at the club

 "I'm looking at what's in the building, I'm looking at the type of football we're playing, I'm looking at the manager, number one," he added

 "Do I want to be playing for this particular gaffer? And I think the answer is a resounding no

Because he hasn't put pen to paper, [he] doesn't even look as though he wants to put pen to paper

 "I think he's gonna be a top pro that he is, he's gonna see his contract out, and eventually he'll go to one of the big boys in Europe

 "You look at the squad, how much of a rebuild is there needed in this squad for Manchester United to get back to the top of the tree again? "I'm afraid there's so many transfer cycles it will be before they actually get back to their best

This is gonna be a long rebuild and I'm not too sure whether he wants to be around

 "He's 28, he's in the prime of his career, he's got seven, eight years left at least at the top, I think he's looking [to] pastures new

"
