FBI questions Ted Malloch, Trump campaign figure and Farage ally (Mueller Watch)
The Guardian ^ | 30 Mar 2018 | Stephanie Kirchgaessner

Posted on 03/30/2018 12:07:58 AM PDT by blueplum

American once touted as possible ambassador to EU tells of being detained at Boston airport and subpoenaed by Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia inquiry {snip}

In a statement sent to the Guardian, Malloch, who described himself as a policy wonk and defender of Trump, said the FBI also asked him about his relationship with Roger Stone, the Republican strategist, and whether he had ever visited the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has resided for nearly six years.

In a detailed statement about the experience, which he described as bewildering and intimidating at times, Malloch said the federal agents who stopped him and separated him from his wife “seemed to know everything about me” and warned him that lying to the FBI was a felony. In the statement Malloch denied having any Russia contacts.

Malloch became a source of controversy in 2016 when he was floated in media reports as a possible US ambassador to the EU, following an aggressive campaign in which, according to several reports at the time, he promoted himself as a strong candidate. European officials, alarmed by the possible pick and his lack of diplomatic credentials, openly criticised Malloch, particularly after he compared the EU to the Soviet Union.

It’s hard to understand how they can build a case on the emails without the DNC allowing anyone access to the server.

It sounds like Huma and the others intentionally used Yahoo so it could be hacked. I can’t believe they are that stupid. After all their entire lives have been devoted to “public service”. They had to be oh so aware of correct privacy protocals. So I think it was intentional. Or total ignorance from total arrogance.

Corsi says he thinks Mueller is getting very panicky and very desperate because he knows he’ll probably be indicted for Uranium 1.


Quite the conundrum there Her Mueller. You were hired by co-conspirator Rod Rosenstein to protect the coup plotters by pursuins and potentially removing the duly elected POTUS. In the intervening months so much damaging information has come to light and various Congressional committees have informed the American public of criminal conspiracy to subvert democracy.

So the question for Herr Mueller is, do you even attempt to charge POTUS with a knowingly false and fabricated crime given the fact that he himself may be charged as an accomplice in a seditious conspiracy plot.

If the FBI didn’t have a search or arrest warrant, he should have told them to FO and and walked to a restaurant to have a meal with his wife and call his attorney.

Exactly right,and why do these people even entertain talking to these clowns. If it were me I would have had three words for these clowns, lawyer, lawyer, lawyer.


They can detain you for up to 24 hours for any reason, or up to 96 if they suspect you of committing a serious crime, or 14 days if you are suspected of terrorism.

The first thing to do is ask "am I free to go?", if they say "no", then "ok, I'm under arrest, you need to read me my Miranda Rights.

If I was told/threatened with "and lying to the FBI is a crime" - I would say, "OK, in that case I am choosing to assert my 5th Amendment right against self incrimination".

That being said, they can detain someone for 24 hours, but it sounds like they were detaining Malloch regardless. If I was not being detained, or threatened, I would request they meet me at my home, or hotel. If I was being detained in such a way as appears to have occurred with Malloch, I would refuse to answer any questions without a lawyer present.

I would never say anything to the FBI or any police officer under oath. It is always a trap. If you tell the police something as a concerned citizen, they should be willing to accept your statement without putting you under oath.

The statute of limitations has run on the U1 deal.

You should read the RICO statutes. The statute of limitations in all these corrupt acts is pretty much never going to expire.

Exactly right!!

A person called before a grand jury has no legal requirement to keep what they said before the grand jury secret. That requirement is only on the prosecutor and the members of he grand jury. Malloch can say whatever he wants to whomever he wants.

After Gen. Flynn's experience, saying anything at all to the Bureau, no matter how insignificant, may put you in jeopardy. Everyone should assume that they already have the answer to any question they ask you. Their conniving tactic is to trip you up so they can accuse you of lying to them. Then, they will threaten you with this non-substantive ‘lie’ to get you to rat out a friend or associate who is their real target. Worse yet, if you have nothing to offer them on who they are after, they will nonetheless screw you by pressing forward on the totally innocuous and bogus felony lying charge. That is the Flynn lesson.

It’s a lot easier than that. Ask them if they have a search warrant or arrest warrant. If the answer is “no”; the only response is, “Then I will be on my way.” Don’t ask if you are being detained in this situation; just walk away. If they try to stop you, call 911 and report their crime. Once they know a 911 call is being recorded, they just slink away. I’ve done it.

Another lesson regarding the Flynn situation; don’t be in too big of a rush to hire an attorney. Prosecutors count on forcing a person to cop a plea in order to avoid financial devastation.

Show up to any arraignment, plead not guilty and demand ALL documents, notes, calendars, memos, emails, names of all witnesses, investigator files, statutes you are accused of violating, etc.

You can drag that part out for at least six months; then start sending interrogatories, requests for admissions, etc., etc.

While you are waiting for their responses, you can do some research on the statute and case law, and maybe even sign up for a criminal defense class and get familiar with criminal procedure.

A guy as smart as Flynn could put off a trial for 2-3 years; at least with very little money spent.

Also, his lawyer has been screwing him over to maximize his fees. Happens all the time. His attorney could have had the charge dismissed within 2-3 months because the crime he was alleged to have committed has never been prosecuted and his attorney must have known that legal experts view that statute as unconstitutional.

Seems to me John Huber would indict him.
