Dennis Nathan Cain, a former FBI contractor, is a whistleblower who turned over to the Department of Justice's inspector general and the House and Senate Intelligence Committees documents regarding the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One; he thus came under protection of the Whistleblower Protection Act. Nevertheless, on November 19th, 16 agents of the FBI raided Cain's home and rummaged and ransacked through it for some six hours.
“The bureau raided my client to seize what he legally gave Congress
about the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One,” Cain's attorney Michael Socarras says. 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.
Cain informed the agent at the door to his home 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 also told the agent the potentially damaging classified
information had been properly transmitted to the Senate and House
Intelligence committees as permitted under the act, but the
agent immediately directed his team to begin a sweep of the suburban
home, anyway.
This flagrant violation of the Act and the law appears to be a carefully SS-type "payback" to Cain for not keeping his mouth shut. It's outrageous and every citizen of the United States should be shaking in their boots in fear of what our government has become.
