The law protects whistleblowers who are government contractors and requires
the IG to share such potentially damaging information with the attorney
general - who at the time was Jeff Sessions. Trump should fire Wray, our
incompetent and deep state buffoon FBI Director, and call AG & Deputy SG to
WH to explain the reason why DOJ authorized this NAZI style raid. I've
written Mark Meadows & contacted President to ask same Q's. This is a
coverup operation of Obama & Clinton Crime Family operations who were real
colluders with foreign governments.

EXCLUSIVE: FBI RAIDS HOME OF WHISTLEBLOWER ON CLINTON FOUNDATION, LAWYER
SAYS
* The FBI raided the home of a whistleblower who was in possession of
documents regarding the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One, according to the
whistleblower's lawyer, Michael Socarras.
* The whistleblower, Dennis Nathan Cain, had turned the documents over
to the Department of Justice's inspector general and both the House and
Senate Intelligence committees, according to the lawyer.
* The FBI rummaged through Cain's home for six hours, even after the
whistleblower handed over the documents, according to Socarras.
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

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. (RELATED: FBI Takes Aim

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

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.
Cain sat in a pew with a hoodie and sun glasses, 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.

The law protects whistleblowers who are government contractors and requires
the IG to share such potentially damaging 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 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 The DCNF.
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
<https://fas.org/irp/dni/icd/i
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.
