FBI general counsel under investigation for leaks to mainstream media!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 28, 2017 - FBI General Counsel James A. Baker is purportedly under an Amerikan Gestapo Department of InJustice division criminal investigation for allegedly leaking classified national security information to the media, according to multiple government officials close to the probe who spoke on condition of anonymity. This comes as Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he would soon be making an announcement regarding the progress of leak investigations. A DOJ official declined to comment on Baker but did say the planned announcement by Sessions is part of the overall "stepped up efforts on leak investigations".

Three sources with knowledge of the investigation said that Baker is the top suspect in an ongoing leak investigation.

A federal law enforcement official with knowledge of ongoing internal investigations in the bureau said, "The bureau is scouring for leakers and there's been a lot of investigations."

The revelation comes as the President Donald Trump regime has ramped up efforts to contain leaks both within the White House and within its own national security apparatus.

Baker is a close confidant of former FBI Director James Comey, and recent media reports suggested he was advising the then-FBI director on legal matters following private meetings the former director had in February with President Trump in the Oval Office.

Baker was appointed to the FBI's general counsel by Comey in 2014 and has had a long history within the intelligence community.

FBI spokeswoman Carol Cratty said the bureau would not comment on Baker and would not confirm or deny any investigation.
