This is pretty damning.....

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents tasked by fired former Director James Comey to take down Donald Trump during and after the 2016 election were so concerned about the agency’s potentially illegal behavior that they purchased liability insurance to protect themselves less than two weeks before Trump was inaugurated president, previously hidden FBI text messages show. The explosive new communications and internal FBI notes were disclosed in federal court filings today from Sidney Powell, the attorney who heads Michael Flynn’s legal defense team.

“[W]e all went and purchased professional liability insurance,” one agent texted on Jan. 10, 2017, the same day CNN leaked details that then-President-elect Trump had been briefed by Comey about the bogus Christopher Steele dossier. That briefing of Trump was used as a pretext to legitimize the debunked dossier, which was funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign and compiled by a foreign intelligence officer who was working for a sanctioned Russian oligarch.

“Holy crap,” an agent responded. “All the analysts too?”

“Yep,” the first agent said. “All the folks at the Agency as well.”

“[C]an I ask who are the most likely litigators?” an agent responded. “[A]s far as potentially suing y’all[?]”

“[H]aha, who knows….I think [t]he concern when we got it was that there was a big leak at DOJ and the NYT among others was going to do a piece,” the first agent said.

The Federalist?

Also, it's very common for IC people to have PLI. It's not out of the ordinary in the least.

This is BS.

DP. Can’t speak to the IC particularly, but it’s not uncommon at all for attorneys employed by the federal government to carry liability insurance. Same for managerial-level. It’s more common in some agencies than others, though, depending on how often legal action is taken against people from those agencies.

My spouse worked for the FBI and has never heard of it, nor was ever offered it.

I've heard of it. The government doesn't offer it, you have to get it on your own.

+1. It’s not an employment benefit, it’s something you get on you’re own protect yourself if there’s legal action against you and the government decides not to defend you, such as because they say you went outside the scope of your employment.

Sounds like these agents knew they were going to be in deep doo doo if their work was ever discovered.

No. Sounds like they knew a corrupt administration was on its way in, and the new administration might suddenly decide protecting our democracy wasn’t within their scope of work.[/quote]

Exactly. Teacher here. I never joined the union for insurance/legal protection until I got that boss that was known for causing problems. Even though I am a good teacher, you never know about what people in power will do.
