Cliffs: This appears to be a classic case of whistleblower retaliation by the FBI that occurred on Nov. 19th/2018.
- The whistleblower gave the DOJ Inspector General (Michael Horowitz) evidence against the Clinton Foundation to do with Uranium One. The DOJ Inspector's job is to find wrong-doing in the FBI.
- 16 FBI agents raid the home of Dennis Cain on Nov. 19th/2018, spend about 6 hours there. Cain is forthright with the copied evidence he has and hands it over. They still search his house.
- Whistleblowers are supposed to be protected by the government when they hand over information. They have protected status under the law.
Senator Grassley brought up several questions with regard to this FBI agent raid:
1. Why was Cain's house raided?
2. Did the FBI know about Cain's discovery?
3. Are the documents considered protected?
4. Did the FBI seize any classified information?
Analyst Luke Rosiak concludes wrong-doing on multiple accounts. The raid implies that a) that the Clintons violated the law in relation to their foundation and Uranium One, b) the FBI knew about that, or at least had strong evidence of illegality and didn't act on it, c) Robert Mueller was head of the FBI at the time this occurred which suggest bias now in his current role as special counsel, and d) the strong action taken on the Whistleblower, or the cover-up of the cover-up (no word on why they searched his house and didn't arrest him after already accepting the copy of what was turned over to Michael Horowitz). Luke further concludes that Mueller really now has to make this stuff go away because it shows the FBI didn't act on known Clinton information before.
People on both the right and the left are concerned today (yesterday the 6th) about the FBI's abuse of authority and clear Whistleblower retaliation.
- The judge in this case hasn't disclosed the warrant, so it's unknown if the FBI told the judge if they knew this guy was a protected Whistleblower, or was it a similar situation to the misleading of the FISA court to obtain the warrant against Trump.
- This Whistleblower DID follow the proper procedure in handing over the information to the Inspector General of the DOJ, Michael Horowitz, who then turned this information over to the House Intelligence committee and the Senate.
Clarifying concern of Mueller's complicit part in this all, is, what if Clinton campaign illegality is getting so difficult to further cover up (now, particularly with these new Whistleblower documents that were released to Republicans and Democrats alike), that Bob has to send an FBI raid to cleanup further.
Finally, the analyst and hostess agree, that these Uranium One documents should likely be released to the public.

BTW, in the first couple of pages of Google search results, not one link to CNN, MSNBC, ABC or any other mainstream media source outside of FOX. This clearly shows MSM bias.

"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 investigate allegations of criminal misconduct 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 the Trump 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 federal magistrate 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."

"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 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.”
The Justice Department and the IG both declined to comment."
