Homeland Security Secretary Noem accuses FBI of leaking news of ICE raids to the press

Monica Showalter  . . ."Things like this, where the army fights the navy, are exactly what happen in a night-haunted tinpot dictatorship.

"If what Noem says is right, this is an amazing breach of professionalism at the FBI, leaking news of raids to the press in order to undermine another federal agency.

"It's almost impossible to believe it's true, but here we are, one federal agency accusing another one of using the press to knock down the other guy. Other than to support Democrats, and perhaps make President Trump look weak and ineffective on immigration, it's hard to say why they would be doing this. Is it one kid, or the full management suite on the top floor?

"Yes, the FBI is famous for "leaking like a wet brown bag," as I once read in a Ross Thomas novel. Andrew McCabe lost his job at the top tier of the FBI for this, and James Comey engaged in it with alacrity, laundering his leaks through his Columbia University professor pal, who then went to the press. He actually admitted it, like there was nothing wrong.

"But this is a new era now, and they ought to be on their best behavior if they know what's good for them. At least one of them there is doing the opposite, and there have been inexplicable leaks to the press: . . ."

 Daily Beast: Trump Border Czar Threatens to Jail FBI Agents Behind ICE Leaks   " President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan has accused the FBI of leaking information about upcoming raids targeting illegal immigrants—and threatened to jail those responsible.

“  'We think it’s coming from inside,” he said, speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News on Tuesday, referring to leaks to the media about recent ICE raids in Colorado.

"Homan also blamed the FBI for leaked information about a large, upcoming raid in California that’s expected to happen before the end of the month, saying, “some of the information we are receiving tends towards the FBI.” . . .

Tom Homan Confirms ICE Operation Leak Points to the FBI — Criminal Investigation Underway: “Not Only Will This Person Lose Their Job and Lose Their Pension, They’re Going to Go to Jail”    . . .Homan:  We think it’s coming from inside. We know the first leak of Aurora is under current investigation. We think we have identified that person under investigation right now.

"The California leak, Secretary Noem, she’s correct. Some of the information we’re receiving tends to lead toward the FBI." . . .

. . ."We’re arresting, giving the Venezuela gang a heads up so we can’t arrest them. You’re putting officers’ lives at risk. It’s only a matter of time. If we walk into a place where there’s going to be a bad guy, he doesn’t care. He’s going to be sitting and waiting for the officer to show up and ambush them."
