"This is just one artery of a huge problem that also includes federal agencies routinely violating Freedom of Information Act law. They’ve twisted the law on its head, using it to obstruct and delay the release of obviously public information. They filter legitimate public records through political reviews before releasing them in a process that isn’t, in my view, allowed under Freedom of Information law."

Sorry about the hot link at the top of the post. I think it might be the authors notes embedded in the article.

An ongoing criminal enterprise has throughly infested the FBI and DOJ.

Documents released years after they should have been, when the news related to them had died down, reveal that during the Department of Justice’s Fast and Furious scandal—where federal agents were instructed to allow thousands of weapons to be trafficked to Mexican drug cartels—public records officials were told to forward any Freedom of Information Act requests that I made to a special tasker under the guise of “coordination.”

“Recently requests have been made to multiple components for certain records pertaining to Project Gunrunner, an ATF initiative,” a Department of Justice information official wrote to various agencies and officials on May 20, 2011, including DEA, the Attorney General’s office, the Marshal’s Service, the FBI and the Inspector General. “You should contact me directly before proceeding, and as soon as possible…Similarly, you should contact me if you receive a request from Sharyl Attkisson.”

Indeed, this process ensured that I did not receive lawful responses to Freedom of Information requests on Fast and Furious.

This sort of toying with public records is, in my view, one of the worst modern violations of the public trust by our government. The newly-released text messages further that view, but there appears to be no serious effort to remedy it.

Anyone in jail or fined due to any FBI/DOJ investigation going back to when Mueller was in Charge of the FBI down to the current deep state liars/thugs/crooks of the DOJ/FBI will be asking for a reversal.


Below is a very scary and earlier oped by SHARYL ATTKISSON:

As walls close in on FBI, the bureau lashes out at its antagonists!

BY SHARYL ATTKISSON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 01/25/18 01:50 PM EST

There are two overarching issues.

First, there’s the alleged improper use of politically-funded opposition research to justify secret warrants to spy on U.S. citizens for political purposes.

Second, if corruption is ultimately identified at high levels in our intel agencies, it would necessitate a re-examination of every case and issue the officials touched over the past decade — or two — under administrations of both parties.

This is why I think the concerns transcend typical party politics.

It touches everybody. It’s potentially monumental.

This week, the FBI said it was unfair for the House Intelligence Committee not to provide its memo outlining alleged FBI abuses. The committee wrote the summary memo after reviewing classified government documents in the Trump-Russia probe.

Excerpted. For full story go to the link below:

Maybe agents were being encouraged to compromise themselves. It’s easier to control an employee who’s compromised than one who is ethical...

The entire conversation between Page and Strzok can be viewed on pp. 3-4 of the letter from Sen. Johnson to R. Rosenstein, dated 1/31/2018, linked below:

https://www.scribd.com/document/370506017/2018-01-31-RHJ-to-DAG-Rosenstein-Strzok-Page-Texts?irgwc=1&content=27795&campaign=VigLink&ad_group=3059047&keyword=ft500noi&source=impactradius&medium=affiliate#from_embed

The whole letter is worth reading; it contains a number of other bombshells.

“...evade federal record requirements...”

How many have the feds sent to prison for the very same “process crimes”?

Well, there’s an easy fix:

Each carrier must submit all text messages (or use the NSA *wink wink*).

Govt cross-matches and any discrepancies are used to fine and fire the employee(s) attempting to subvert the retention policy laws.

No pensions, no bennies, just buh-bye and enjoy your stay @ the gray-bar hotel.

Strozk and Page needed to be fired immediately. The individual they mention in the texts advising them to disregard the IG’s requirement needs to be fired immediately. If that doesn’t happen Wray and Rosenstein need to be fired immediately followed by Sessions if he doesn’t act.

I don’t get why they didn’t just set up their own email server like Hillary did. It makes it sooooo much easier to hide things.

“Trust Law Enforcement,” we screamed, while they killed Eric Garner....

I’ll get bashed for this if anyone reads it, but this would be a great time for BLM and regular white people to come together and recognize the common enemy.

Richard Pryor did a comedy routine years ago called, “Just Us.”

With the advent of an FBI agency that considers itself above the law, I’m starting to get a little taste of how black people have felt for years.

(Yeah, yeah, I know that they per-capita commit more crimes, but when you know there isn’t going to be any true justice...)
