“Good FBI agents brought this to our attention.”
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) revealed that in late September 2016, “Good FBI agents” stepped forward as whistleblowers to tell them about additional Hillary Clinton emails “sitting” on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.
“I’ve never actually said this before,” said Nunes. “We had whistleblowers that came to us in late September of 2016 who talked to us about this laptop sitting up in New York that had additional emails on it.”
In light of IG’s failure to look at leaking/anti-Clinton bias among agents in NYC field office, this seems quite relevant. Nunes says “good FBI agents” told him about Weiner laptop in late September 2016. pic.twitter.com/BU6ysY7Xwn

In other words – the New York FBI rebelled – which former FBI Director James Comey tried to quash it, twice.
The FBI sat on the revelation that previously unknown emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server were recovered on the laptop of sex-crimes convict Anthony Weiner for just under a month, according to a review by the Department of Justice’s Inspector General.
The stated rationale was to prioritize the Russia investigation, which was a decision made by Peter Strzok, a top FBI agent involved in both investigations and who texted his lover that he would “stop” Donald Trump from becoming president. –Daily Caller
Appearing Friday on Fox and Friends, Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani said that FBI agents in the New York office “rebelled” and “had a revolution” which Comey could not keep quiet – forcing him to reopen the Clinton email investigation.
“The agents in the NY office – we all know this, rebelled. They had a revolution. And Comey made two attempts to quiet them down and then realized “I can’t do that, I’m gonna look terrible here. If she gets elected I’ll look terrible, if she doesn’t..” -Rudy Giuliani
Recall that the DOJ Inspector General found that Andrew McCabe lied about leaking a self-serving story to Devlin Barrett of the Wall Street Journal that he was not stalling (or “slow walking”) the Hillary Clinton email investigation at a time in which McCabe had come under fire for his wife taking a $467,500 campaign contribution from Clinton proxy pal, Terry McAuliffe.
Last month we reported that “rank and file” FBI agents want Congress to subpoena them so that they can step forward and reveal dirt on Comey and McCabe, reports the Daily Caller, citing three active field agents and former federal prosecutor Joe DiGenova.
“There are agents all over this country who love the bureau and are sickened by [James] Comey’s behavior and [Andrew] McCabe and [Eric] Holder and [Loretta] Lynch and the thugs like [John] Brennan–who despise the fact that the bureau was used as a tool of political intelligence by the Obama administration thugs,” former federal prosecutor Joe DiGenova told The Daily Caller Tuesday.
“They are just waiting for a chance to come forward and testify.” -Joe diGenova
DiGenova – a veteran D.C. attorney who President Trump initially wanted to hire to represent him in the Mueller probe – only to have to step aside due to conflicts, has maintained contact with “rank and file” FBI agents as well as a counterintelligence consultant who interviewed an active special agent in the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) – producing a transcript reviewed by The Caller.
These agents prefer to be subpoenaed to becoming an official government whistleblower, since they fear political and professional backlash, the former Trump administration official explained to TheDC.
More than just Hillary’s emails…
The FBI’s whistleblowers didn’t stop Weiner’s laptop… In March of 2017, House Speaker Paul Ryan said that Rep. Nunes revealed to him that a “whistleblower type person” had stepped forward with information about the surveillance of the Trump campaign.
“He had told me that a whistleblower type person had given him some information that was new, that spoke to the last administration and part of this investigation,” Ryan said in late March.
“What Chairman Nunes said was he came into possession of new information he thought was valuable to this investigation and he was going to go and inform people about it.”

The week before Ryan made these statements, Nunes revealed that an unidentified source showed him evidence that the U.S. intelligence community “incidentally surveilled” Trump’s transition team before inauguration day.
Of course, we now know it goes much, much deeper. As Rudy Giuliani also said on Friday:
Let’s look at it this way … Peter Strzok was running the Hillary investigation. That’s a total fix. That’s a closed-book now, total fix. Comey should go to jail for that. And Strzok. But then what does Comey do? He takes Strzok – who wanted to get Trump in any way possible – he puts him in charge of the Russia investigation.
How come they’re not finding any evidence of collusion? Because the President didn’t do anything wrong and he’s being investigated corruptly.
A higher loyalty indeed…
