An award-winning investigative journalist from ABC News who was working on a new book about President Joe Biden’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan has been missing for months after his home was purportedly raided by the FBI because of sensitive data that was on his computer.
On Tuesday, Rolling Stone published a feature about Emmy-winning journalist James Gordon Meek, 52. Meek has previously worked as an investigator and senior counterterrorism consultant for the House Homeland Security Committee.
The FBI raided his upscale residence in Arlington, Virginia, before dawn in April, and he hasn’t been seen since.
According to the journal, individuals familiar with the situation stated that he was the subject of a federal investigation and that the FBI reportedly discovered sensitive material on his laptop during the search.
According to an ABC News source, Meeks “resigned rather suddenly” and “hasn’t worked for us in months.”
“Mr. Meek is not aware of the claims made by anonymous sources concerning his possession of sensitive papers,” Meeks’ attorney, Eugene Gorokhov, said in a statement. “If such records exist, as claimed, they would fall inside the purview of his long career as an investigative reporter exposing government misconduct.” The claims in your investigation are alarming for another reason: they seem to originate from within the U.S. government. Individuals in the government that leak information regarding an investigation that was ongoing are both unprofessional and unlawful. We hope that the DOJ examines the source of this leak as soon as possible.”
It was unclear from the article what narrative Meeks could’ve been working on that would have prompted the raid, but it did point out that the scenario was made “more bizarre” by the fact that Meeks was writing a book with the working title “The Amazing Story of a Group of Americans Who Went On One Last Mission and Fulfilled a Promise in Afghanistan.”
Lt. Col. Scott Mann, who co-wrote the book, claimed he received a call from Meeks early this year informing him that something was wrong.
“He approached me in the spring, devastated, and told me that he had some major personal troubles and needed to walk away from the project,” Mann explained. “As a war veteran who has witnessed that type of strain — I’m not sure what it was — I honored it. And he continued on his way, and I kept working on the project.”
According to the report, under the new Justice Dept. policy outlined by AG Merrick Garland, authorities would have to truly believe that the journalist was working for a hostile foreign government or terrorist organization, or was engaged in situations such as kidnappings or crimes involving children in order to seize materials from the reporter.
Those FBI agents need to be put on a lie detector test and then answer for their crimes…..NOW!!! And anyone else connected to this!
Absolutely they Should Investigate this now
Right on!
Everyone in DC should be permanently hooked up to a lie detector machine that would zap them every time they lied. They would constantly be zapped!
There wouldn’t be enough power left to charge your electric car
LOL, love this, constant zapping!!!
I wonder how soon we will have to raise our right hand high and say “Sig Heil”?
Not too much longer at this rate.
It’s going!be prepared. Lock and load now, the wolves are already at our door!
Americans will never trust this government again because it’s being run like a totalitarian organization and not as government of the United States of America people in America do not even recognize this government anymore it has changed so drastically in the last 2 years we thought it changed the eight years Obama was in office but nothing nothing to this degree and it ain’t looking pretty Americans
Absolutely right
FBI can track a man with five kids go to airports when Navarro is boarding plane then find this man now. This needs to go into public eye. Senate Investigative Committee, Fox News, Project Veritas where is he and his two girls. The Epoch Times too. Do this Now.
You know IF or WHEN they find him he will be said to have committed suicide. Guess KILLERY gave him some pointers on how to shut people up that know to much. These people are destroying our country.
Yep he is as evil and as dangerous as Hillary
Dems are evil, they know what happened to him.
Why wait so long to report this in the news? I think I am well read.
Someone knows. Someone is not speaking. Someone is afraid.
with this biden bullshit administration only liers and perverts are allowed to remain unaposed !and the people that are suposed to uphold the laws are as crooked as the pos or so called president (biden ) this as bad as the clintons anyone who oposes them are either killed or dissapear ! look at clintons buddy epstine killed in jail !!!
Epstein is not dead!!!!!!! Go look at his facial photos and then look at his profile on the gurney leaving the jail. He is working with Mossad and I will bet he had facial surgery. If he was dead Gislene would be chirping like a bird. Notice how relaxed she is and has no problem being in jail for 20 years? hmmmmm suspicious!
I think you are so right.
Someone is afraid, alright…this article says that in order to raid someone’s home and/or seize their computer they must have led them to believe he is “working for a foreign government,” or be “engaged in crimes such as kidnapping or crimes involving children” – OR – the government entity doing the raid must SAY that is a possibility. Really, now, do we trust the federal government entities, i.e. the FBI, CIA, etc. wholly and completely right now? Can say unequivocally that I do NOT! We need a regime change, and quickly, then find someone, perhaps a third party, to do the investigation. Instead of “investigating” Jan. 5, there are elements within our own government that need “investigating!”
Typical Democrats getting rid of evidence. Someone, ANYONE PLEASE STOP THESE MURDERING ANIMALS.
It’s going to take all the freedom loving Americans to stand and say we have had enough.
Shit he’s dead the FBI offed him they are disgusting domestic terrorists them and the BIDEN’S, CLINTONS, OBAMAS, PELOSI, SCHUMER,SCHIFF, NADLER, CHENEYS AND BUSH ALL DOMESTIC TERRORISTS
I totally agree with you Rebecca, and the dems are we pure evil and nobody is innocent, murderers and con artists and just plain trash!!!
He’s fishing with Seth Rich most likely. Oh yeah, BUCK joe fiden!!!
? Who do you get to investigate. It’s the crooked cop investigating the crooked cops. I know from past experiences working for CDCR in Calif. you have to find that one person who is will to put their job and maybe life on the line. The Federal Government is real big, remember Vince Foster, Ron Brown Clinton’s how about the Kennedy’s no answer about those investigation.
I totally agree with you Rebecca, and the dems are we pure evil and nobody is innocent, murderers and con artists and just plain trash!!!
