#FBI agent relieved of duty over refusing #Comey #PerpWalk, 4 people familiar say

An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a "perp walk" of the bureau's former director, #JamesComey, in front of news #media #cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, 4 people briefed said Friday.

If this is purely #revenge motivated, I don’t know what is.

#Trump fired #Comey in 2017, early in his first term in office. He has since regularly assailed Comey's handling of the #FBI investigation that detailed contacts between #Russia & Trump's 2016 campaign.

Trump has threatened to imprison his political rivals since he first ran for president in 2015, but the move against Comey marks the first time his administration has succeeded in securing a grand jury indictment against one of them.

Reuters could not immediately determine how or when senior #FBI officials wanted to stage bringing #JamesComey into the #FBI Washington field office. Only a summons to appear in court was issued in the case, & NOT an arrest warrant. However, defendants will often report to an FBI field office for booking after a court summons is issued.

#Comey, who has denied wrongdoing, is due to appear in court in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington, Thurs.

Former officials & #NationalSecurity lawyers pointed to ALREADY EXISTING restrictions & penalties for unauthorized release of information, indicating these new measures were meant to further #frighten & deter personnel.
“This seems to be far more directed at ensuring loyalty to #DOD & the #Trump administration leadership rather than countering any foreign espionage,” said Mark Zaid, a lawyer who has represented multiple #whistleblowers & govt ofcls targeted by the Trump admin.

A separate document also from Feinberg would establish a program to randomly #polygraph those ofcls. The documents do not prescribe a limit on who would be subjected to these #NDAs & tests, suggesting it could include everyone from four-star generals to administrative assistants.
The efforts are part of a wider strategy by the #Trump admin & the #Pentagon to ferret out ofcls deemed insufficiently #loyal or who provide info to reporters.

All #military service members, civilian employees & contract workers within the office of the #defense secretary & the Joint Staff [#JCS], estimated to be >5,000 personnel, would be required to sign a #NDA that “prohibits the release of non-public information without approval or through a defined process,” acc/to a draft memo from Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg.

Young, who is 85 & was appointed to the bench 4 decades ago, begins by quoting a postcard he received on June 19 that reads: “TRUMP HAS PARDONS AND TANKS …. WHAT DO YOU HAVE?” Young replies in the ruling:

“Dear Mr. or Ms. Anonymous,

“Alone, I have nothing but my sense of duty. Together, We the People of the United States—you and me—have our magnificent Constitution. Here’s how that works out in a specific case—“

…what sets the ruling apart is its mix of unapologetic evisceration of #Trump & admiration for the rights he has trampled on. That it is no ordinary ruling is apparent from the first words of the 161-page decision.

A Reagan-Appointed Judge Just Wrote a Blistering Anti #Trump Decision

Federal judge William G. Young attacked the president’s crackdown on civil liberties as un-American.

“#ICE goes masked for a single reason—to #terrorize Americans into quiescence,” the Reagan appointed judge wrote.
