Ex-official who investigated Hillary Clinton's emails said the documents recovered by the FBI at Trump's Mar-a-Lago were particularly 'stunning' and 'egregious' Laufman told CNN that Trump had a "consistent flagrant disregard for the protection of classified information and disregard for the Intelligence Committee throughout his presidency" and was not surprised the former President was holding on to Top Secret government papers. Laufman also said the discovery of the documents during the FBI's search "completely validates the government's investigation" into the former President. This is what Laufman fails to tell the public. However, "One Senate investigator told RealClearInvestigations that Laufman, then Justice’s top counterintelligence official, was the 'mastermind' behind the strategy to dust off and 'weaponize' FARA against Trump campaign officials," creating the Russiagate disaster, the reporting explained. "Laufman signed off on the illegal wiretapping of Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. An Obama campaign donor, Laufman helped oversee a wide range of politically charged cases as the DoJ’s counterintelligence section chief – including the department’s highly irregular, kid-gloves investigation of Hillary Clinton concerning her mishandling of classified emails as secretary of state." Sperry described Laufman as "the king of phony pretexts" to justify investigating Trump. Ooops
