James Gordon Meek is an Emmy-award-winning producer for ABC, at least he was until April 2022 when he disappeared. According to a Rolling Stones exposé, the last public thing anyone heard from him was a tweet on April 27.
Shortly after that tweet went out, the FBI raided his apartment in Washington D.C., and James Gordon Meek disappeared.
No one knows if the FBI took him into custody that morning, or what exactly the FBI were looking for, but we do know that the project he was working on at the time was co-authoring a book with Lt. Col. Scott Mann called Operation Pineapple Express about Biden's failed withdrawal from Afghanistan and the brave private citizens that went in afterwards to rescue those abandoned by the administration.
However, after the FBI raid, Mann says that Meek sent him a cryptic email withdrawing from the project for personal reasons, and all the references to the book disappeared from Meek's website and the publisher's.
Mann finished the book on his own, and it went on to become a bestseller.
When asked if they knew anything about Meek's disappearance, an ABC representative said that Meek
resigned very abruptly and hasn't worked for us for months.
Unnamed sources in the FBI or the DOJ said that federal agents allegedly found classified information on Meek's laptop during their raid.
An investigative journalist who worked with Meek said that it would be highly unusual for a reporter or producer to keep any classified information on a computer.
Meek's lawyer Eugene Gorokhov said,
Mr. Meek is unaware of what allegations anonymous sources are making about his possession of classified documents. If such documents exist, as claimed, this would be within the scope of his long career as an investigative journalist covering government wrongdoing. The allegations in your inquiry are troubling for a different reason: they appear to come from a source inside the government. It is highly inappropriate, and illegal, for individuals in the government to leak information about an ongoing investigation. We hope that the DOJ [Department of Justice] promptly investigates the source of this leak.
Meek had a vast knowledge of national security and who knows what secrets he held, but the raid and his disappearance seem to be a continuation of the Obama administration's war on journalists and their sources that don't toe the line.
Obama's Justice Department used the Espionage Act to silence and prosecute top generals like David Petraeus and James Cartwright as well as whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden.
When you can just disappear like we're in communist China, is it any wonder why today's mainstream media is just a mouthpiece for the government?
