Who is James Meek? He is an award winning journalist and producer of documentaries and articles that in the past have not shown the US Government or military in a very good light.

His last was a film he produced regarding the deaths of 4 soldiers in a botched mission in Niger. It exposed a Pentagon coverup.

He published a story about a friendly fire incident in Iraq.

He was working with ABC after stints with other major news outlets. This is where is starts to get,,,,,odd.

He was working on a book regarding the botched US Afghanistan withdrawal regarding a group of Americans who went in to rescue those left behind. It was called Operation Pineapple Express: The Incredible Story of a Group of Americans Who Undertook One Last Mission and Honored a Promise in Afghanistan. There was a lot of fall out from the withdrawal. A lot of finger pointing. We had dead Americans that could have been prevented.

Now, the book was published but he was scrubbed from all media and promotion. This is odd to me also as he was an integral part but someone did not want him attached or discussed anymore.

So where is he?

In April his apartment was raided by the FBI. During that raid, it is said that sensitive material was found on his laptpp. Since then...he cannot be found. His last social media presence was just before the raid. No one has seen him.



According to Rolling Stone, federal agents staged a lightning raid on his home on the top floor of the six-story Siena Park apartment complex that lasted around 10 minutes.


He abruptly resigned in according to Disney owned ABC and this was before a book was to be released. Does not seem right.



A spokesperson for Disney-owned ABC News told Rolling Stone: “He resigned very abruptly and hasn’t worked for us for months.”


Even people he worked with said...



ABC News staffers who worked with Meek told Rolling Stone that he “fell off the face of the Earth.”


Neighbors have not seen him. He had two daughters and they have not been seen. The apartment were he resided is no vacant. Phone calls to family were unanswered.

HIs lawyer showed some concern with this statement also...



“The allegations in your inquiry are troubling for a different reason: They appear to come from a source inside the government,” Meek’s attorney told Rolling Stone. “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.”


The FBI has declined to comment.

There are too many of these that seem to happen. A well known reporter suddenly vanishes after a FBI raid???? Something seems off to me.

Given his background, he may have had an inside source who tipped him off and he is in hiding.

OR

He's at a CIA black site trying to learn to breath underwater.

Seeing as how our government and military hate to be exposed, I'd bet on the 2nd choice.

I was just reading an article about this and came to see if there was a deep dive here and voila you made a thread-thank you. I wish I could fully read about it now but life duties are calling.

The main reason I took interest is how the Obama Administration treated journalist and whistleblowers and we all know the same players in back. Michael Hastings comes to mind also. His last story was called "Why Democrats Love to Spy On Americans".

If he is hiding...why?

Well if he had goods on The Afghanistan debacle, he's either in deep cover hiding, or deep cover kidnapped, especially since the book has been "erased".

Maybe he had proof all those airlift flights were all BS and never happened !! 😎

Missing ABC producer SPOTTED for first time in months after FBI raid


This is either a coverup report or Meek is really at his mother's house... 😮



The Daily Mail spotted Meek outside of his mother's townhouse in McLean, Virginia, though he was again not willing to answer questions. Meek has been keeping a low profile, the Mail reports.

According to The Mail: "The magazine alleged that agents spent ten minutes inside Meek's top-floor pad and found a laptop containing classified information, citing 'sources familiar with the matter' – but friends and former colleagues of the popular, well-regarded reporter say that doesn't add up."

Update:

Former ABC News Reporter Hit With Child Pornography Charge. Source


The evidence included an iPhone at Meek’s home that showed the phone involved in child porn distribution through Kik, a messaging application, Tonya Sturgill Griffith, an FBI special agent, said in an affidavit supporting the criminal complaint. It also included approximately 100 images of child porn.

Meek, 53, has been charged with transportation of child pornography.

He faces at least five years, and up to 20 years, in prison if convicted.
