FBI raids home of prominent bureau whistleblower

Federal agents on Monday raided the Los Angeles-area home of an FBI whistleblower who has alleged that bureau higher-ups thwarted an investigation of Rudy Giuliani, two sources said. The whistleblower, FBI agent Johnathan Buma, has said that Giuliani “may have been compromised” by Russian intelligence while working as a lawyer for Donald Trump.

A search warrant reviewed by Mother Jones said the agents were looking for evidence that Buma had violated laws against unauthorized removal of classified documents and unauthorized removal of national defense documents.

Horton said that the search turned up no classified material and that the agents seized only Buma’s own whistleblower complaint, which is not classified. The raid “is designed to be in retaliation for the whistleblower complaints,” Horton claimed. “It’s very heavy harassment.”

Hrmmmm...seems like they have been looking at Trump for the same thing. One hand washes the other. If this guy did the same exact thing, and so did Trump & Co, and they think Buma deserves jail, same for Trump.

There's legal and illegal. Then there's right and wrong. They have been diverging for a long time.

This is the most alarming story I've seen in a while and I was already pretty alarmed.
