Federal agents on Monday raided the Los Angeles-area home of an FBI whistleblower who has alleged that bureau higher-ups thwarted an investigation of Rudy Giuliani, two sources said. The whistleblower, FBI agent Johnathan Buma, has said that Giuliani “may have been compromised” by Russian intelligence while working as a lawyer for Donald Trump.

Agents searched Buma’s person, after which a large group of agents, over more than six hours, searched his residence, confiscating all the digital media in the home, including the computers and watches of his wife and four children.

[Buma] has countered GOP arguments that the bureau was eager to investigate Trump allies but was reluctant to look into Hunter Biden. Buma claims the opposite was true. He asserted in a statement filed with the Senate Judiciary Committee that FBI agents moved quickly to scrutinize information on Hunter Biden’s business activities, even as his own investigation into Giuliani was shut down without explanation.

Well I think the Durham report revealed why the FBI shut down the Guiliani investigation. They never had any evidence to justify starting it.

Still, this smacks of retaliation and I would like it better if whistleblowers weren't being punished.
