FREE SPEECH! Free from criticism or consequences, right? Except when people criticize hateful, divisive, or cruel speech. Those people need to be cancelled and put on a terrorist watchlist.

SHEEHY: ... Well, that's unfortunate

“… Mr. Gilbert was a longtime Republican legislator in Virginia until he was sworn in as the top prosecutor in July. He was quickly ordered to take up a case championed by the F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, and his deputy, Dan Bongino, after they learned that classified documents had been found inside “burn bags” at F.B.I. headquarters.

For decades, classified documents have been retained on computer servers. When printouts are made of sensitive documents, officials often dispose of them by burning the papers as a security measure. Mr. Patel and Mr. Bongino are among the Trump loyalists who have pressed for an investigation to determine whether senior F.B.I. officials at the time had conspired to protect former F.B.I. and C.I.A. officials by hiding or destroying such documents.

There have been a number of unusual facets to the investigation. The Justice Department tends to try to closely control national security-related investigations in a particular office or team. In this instance, however, the department has dedicated multiple U.S. attorneys’ offices to a set of interconnected issues, all centered on an effort to show misconduct in the Russia investigation, which is nearly a decade old.

Federal prosecutors in western Virginia, rather than in Washington, were assigned the document investigation on the legal theory that jurisdiction was there because the F.B.I. has a classified document storage facility in Winchester, which is in that part of the state, according to people familiar with the case….”

“… Defense lawyers who have clients caught up in the case have expressed bafflement at what possible crime could have been committed, and one witness approached earlier this year was told the investigation was being conducted at the specific direction of Mr. Patel.

Shortly after Mr. Gilbert took over as U.S. attorney, senior Justice Department officials instructed him to open an investigation into the handling of secret documents related to Russian intelligence reports, these people said.

… Other prosecutors have been under pressure to deliver big-name indictments on politically sensitive cases sought by Mr. Trump and his allies. In Baltimore, charges could be filed any day against the president’s former national security adviser, John R. Bolton, in a long-running investigation into whether he mishandled classified information. That same office has also been assigned to investigate Senator Adam B. Schiff, a California Democrat, to determine if he engaged in mortgage fraud.

In Philadelphia, the U.S. attorney is overseeing an investigation into whether intelligence officials lied about an intelligence assessment drafted in the waning days of the Obama administration. That assessment, long criticized by the president’s supporters, determined Russia had sought to interfere in the 2016 election to benefit Mr. Trump.“
