WHOA. Senior FBI Official Is Allegedly Under Investigation For Intelligence Leaks

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A short while ago I posted that Jeff Sessions was expected to announce some indictments or other actions in the case of several intelligence leaks. I’d suspected the names would start filtering out and now Sara Carter at Circa has one of them:

FBI General Counsel James A. Baker is purportedly under a Department of Justice criminal investigation for allegedly leaking classified national security information to the media, according to multiple government officials close to the probe who spoke with Circa on the condition of anonymity.

FBI spokeswoman Carol Cratty said the bureau would not comment on Baker and would not confirm or deny any investigation. Baker did not return comment when Circa attempted to reach him through the FBI.

Three sources, with knowledge of the apparent investigation, told Circa that Baker is the top suspect in an ongoing leak investigation, but Circa has not been able to confirm the details of what national security information or material was allegedly leaked.

Baker is linked very closely to James Comey. Comey seleted him for general counsel. he was one of Comey’s confidants in the Trump-memo saga and there is this:

Before he met with Trump, Comey gathered his leadership team at the FBI to discuss whether he should be prepared to assure the president-elect that the FBI was not investigating him personally.

Comey testified that not everyone on his team agreed he should. Comey did not name the dissenter, but The Post has learned it was FBI general counsel James A. Baker. Comey testified that the member of his leadership team said that although it was true at the moment that Trump was not under investigation, it was possible that could change.

If this story is true, it certainly explains a lot of the leaks.
