Reports confirmed by a former U.S. Attorney point to secretive efforts by some inside the FBI to intervene in U.S. politics for partisan reasons, at the highest level. While the informants offering accounts of rogue behavior as of yet have not been personally identified, they are known to include both former AND current FBI personnel. Preliminary information, although lacking in detail, is disturbing and even invokes the possibility of Treason.
Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Rudi Giuliani did not mince words in describing the existence of a resistance movement within the FBI with potential insurrectionist tendencies;
“The other rumor that I get is that there’s a kind of revolution going on inside the FBI about the original conclusion [not to charge Clinton] being completely unjustified and almost a slap in the face to the FBI’s integrity,” said Giuliani. “I know that from former agents. I know that even from a few active agents.”
Mr Giuliani made his startling revelation during a 2016 interview with Fox Radio, but it was just one of a series of statements the former prosecutor made prior to the 2016 Presidential Election, indicating ongoing efforts on the part of some FBI agents to compel then FBI Director James Comey to bend to their own will in regards to ongoing investigations. Reporting in the Huffington Post, under the subject line “Rudy Giuliani Confirms FBI Insiders Leaked Information To The Trump Campaign” and last updated on 11/04/2016, details a pattern in Mr. Giuliani’s pubic disclosures that clearly shows he was in possession of unauthorized information — further corroborating Mr. Giuliani’s above explosive charges. A portion of that reporting is available in the following excerpt, please refer to the original source for additional disclosures:
“Rudy Giuliani said Friday that he knew the FBI planned to review more emails tied to Hillary Clinton before a public announcement about the investigation last week, confirming that the agency leaked information to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign…
...Giuliani has bragged about his close ties to the FBI for months, mentioning in interviews that “outraged FBI agents” have told him they’re frustrated by how the Clinton investigation was handled. And two days before FBI Director James Comey announced that the agency was reviewing the newly uncovered emails, Giuliani teased that Trump’s campaign had “a couple of surprises left.
“You’ll see, and I think it will be enormously effective,” he said in an interview with Fox News.
All of this has led to suspicion that someone in the FBI is leaking information to Giuliani and the Trump campaign. The Daily Beast’s Wayne Barrett explored those suspicions on Thursday, detailing how Giuliani’s ties to the agency date back to his days as a U.S. attorney in the 1980s.
Giuliani confirmed that notion Friday during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.
“I did nothing to get it out, I had no role in it,” he said. “Did I hear about it? You’re darn right I heard about it, and I can’t even repeat the language that I heard from the former FBI agents.”
Huffington Post Story
While in that latter instance Mr. Giuliani referenced hearing only from “former FBI agents” it is clear from other statements attributed to him that his sources included agents still active at the time of his contact with them. The transcript of an interview the former prosecutor and Donald Trump surrogate conducted with CNN in August of 2016 reveals that Mr. Giuliani had ongoing contacts with then current FBI agents as well:
"CUOMO: ...I'm saying, do you think Comey made a call that was influenced by somebody else? Yes or no?…
GIULIANI: I think his decision was an embarrassment to the FBI…
...the decision perplexes me. It perplexes Jim Kallstrom (ph), who worked for him. It perplexes numerous FBI agents who talk to me all the time. And it embarrasses some FBI agents.
So, I can tell you all that.”

Others have commented on what appear to be strong remaining ties between the former Federal Prosecutor for the Southern New York District and the FBI’s New York Office. Some of those ties were explored in a 11/3/16 The Daily Beast piece titled “Meet Donald Trump’s Top FBI Fanboy” that reads in part:
“The man who now leads “lock-her-up” chants at Trump rallies spent decades of his life as a federal prosecutor and then mayor working closely with the FBI, and especially its New York office. One of Giuliani’s security firms employed a former head of the New York FBI office, and other alumni of it. It was agents of that office, probing Anthony Weiner’s alleged sexting of a minor, who pressed Comey to authorize the review of possible Hillary Clinton-related emails on a Weiner device that led to the explosive letter the director wrote Congress.
Hours after Comey’s letter about the renewed probe was leaked on Friday, Giuliani went on a radio show and attributed the director’s surprise action to “the pressure of a group of FBI agents who don’t look at it politically…
Wayne Barrett, who has been writing investigative articles about New York City for decades, laid out some of the links between the FBI’s New York City office and the Trump campaign in a piece for the Daily Beast. It describes how Giuliani’s law firm not only has ongoing business with agents, but that top former agents, including the city’s bureau chief, have been some of Clinton’s most vocal critics and have assailed Comey for shutting down the email inquiry last July.
“Along with Giuliani’s other connections to New York FBI agents, his former law firm, then called Bracewell Giuliani, has long been general counsel to the FBI Agents Association (FBIAA), which represents 13,000 former and current agents,” Barrett wrote.”
Story in The Daily Beast
The above cited story in the Daily Beast references additional leads too numerous to detail here, and is highly recommended reading. As of this writing no word has yet been received from the Republican Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative David Nunes, as to whether Mr. Giuliani and/or any of his associates will be called upon to give testimony to that committee regarding this alleged cabal within the FBI, or of the potential extent of the conspiracy that they may be engaged in.
