Inspector General Destroys DOJ and FBI Credibility
Hearing Set on Motion to Compel Email Testimony from Hillary Clinton
Major Judicial Watch Victory! The Supreme Court Decides for Clean Elections in Ohio
DOJ Must Provide More Details on Podesta-Clinton Communications
The Justice Department Inspector General’s report on the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s scandalous email practices is out, and as I predicted, it has destroyed the credibility of the Department of Justice and the FBI.
It confirms what we have investigated and revealed for nearly two years. The Obama DOJ/FBI investigation of Clinton was rushed, half-baked, rigged, and irredeemably compromised by anti-Trump and pro-Clinton bias and actions. It is outrageous to see a politicized FBI and DOJ then so obviously refuse to uphold the rule of law.
The IG report details repeated DOJ/FBI deference to Hillary Clinton, her aides and their lawyers. Americans should examine the report and judge for themselves whether the over-the-top deference to Hillary Clinton can be explained as anything other than political, especially from agencies that at the same time were actively collaborating with the Clinton campaign’s Fusion GPS to spy on and target then-candidate Trump. The IG report details how at least five top FBI agents and lawyers exchanged pro-Clinton and anti-Trump communications. The IG shares the concerns of Judicial Watch and millions of Americans that this bias cast a cloud over the credibility of the Clinton email and Russia investigations.
An incredible example of this bias was found in a text message of FBI official Peter Strzok, who promised to “stop Trump” from becoming President. Strzok was both the lead FBI agent on the sham Clinton investigation and on the anti-Trump Russia investigation!
As we have demonstrated through independent investigations and lawsuits, there is more than enough evidence that Clinton knowingly and intentionally mishandled classified information while using a non-government email system to conduct government business .
Will the Sessions Justice Department now do the right thing and conduct a Clinton email investigation properly? Or will it let James Comey and Loretta Lynch have the last word on Hillary Clinton’s evident email crimes?
In the meantime, we will continue our FOIA lawsuits and investigations into the Clinton email scandal and the related Obama administration cover-up.
We have numerous lawsuits and document productions regarding the issues raised by the IG, including the conduct of Andrew McCabe, the Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting, the Strzok-Page communications, the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton, and DOJ collusion with the Clinton campaign.
The IG report is just the beginning. And Judicial Watch will take it from here!
Judicial Watch doesn’t wait for IG reports or Congress – we are an independent organization that does its own investigations and lawsuits. So, for all the noise about the Clinton email investigation, Judicial Watch is the only entity still in court that may get additional testimony from Mrs. Clinton about her email practices.
A federal court just ordered a hearing for Thursday, October 11, 2018, on a motion to compel testimony about the email practices of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan issued the order.
This major development comes in our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Clinton. The lawsuit, which seeks records regarding the authorization for Abedin to engage in outside employment while employed by the Department of State, was reopened because of revelations about the clintonemail.com system ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)).
In 2016, Hillary Clinton was required to submit , under oath, written answers to our questions. Clinton objected to and refused to answer questions about the creation of her email system; her decision to use the system despite warnings from State Department cybersecurity officials; and the basis for her claim that the State Department had “90-95%” of her emails. Judge Sullivan is considering our motion to compel answers to these questions.
In her responses sent to the court and us on October 13, 2016, Clinton refused to answer three questions and responded that she “does not recall” 20 times concerning her non-government clintonemail.com email system. She preceded her responses by eight “general objections” and two “objections to definitions.” The words “object” or “objection” appear 84 times throughout the 23-page document submitted to the court and Judicial Watch.
Judge Sullivan will also hear arguments on our motion to compel testimony from former State Department Director of Information Resource Management of the Executive Secretariat John Bentel (who asserted his Fifth Amendment right and refused to answer 87 questions at his deposition) and our motion to unseal the audiovisual recordings of all depositions. We took the testimony of key Clinton aides and State Department senior officials, including Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, but the videotapes of the depositions are currently under seal.
It is not surprising that Mrs. Clinton refused to answer key questions about her conduct. Perhaps she thought that we, like Obama’s FBI and Justice Department, would just let it go. We haven’t – and neither have the courts.
Off the Wall Ping.
Contact to be added.
Judicial Watch does the Lord’s work. Actully, it does what the filthy DOJ/FBI should be doing but won’t. Unfortunately, they can’t indict/prosecute.
Hopefully, the IG report will establish a factual baseline, for a whole series of arguments and legal actions going forward.
It puts the debate on another footing, getting beyond the simply “Did so, Did not - you’re a racist”.
Absolutely...JW digs up evidence and facts that corrupt bureaucrats (including DOJ and FBI) want to sweep under the rug.
FYI.....
If there are Federal indictments based on informatiom the IG uncovered, then the information cannot be disclosed in the IG report. It’s sealed.....
So we have the equivalent of a mutiny from the ranks of the FBI that wants to take out the captain of the ship of state. And what are the consequences of this mutiny? Death? Keel hauling? NOOOOO! They get demoted to HD and are still working. Anything like this in the last century people would have been shot or hanged. Now it’s all about PC training as a corrective! Wow, that will really put the fear of God in them to never try mutiny and over throwing government again! Just the language of “training” you know nothing is going to get fixed — in part, because they already have training — and it’s a just PR move to gloss things over. Sure have an attempted coup of the duly elected government and you keep working — that’ll teach ya to NEVER try that again! That sets a good example!!!
It’s inconceivable what passes these days...
This is the kind of thing that the ACLU should be all over. They would be if they weren’t leftist frauds.
Let's Wrap This FReepathon Up, Folks!
Hooray for Tommy Two-Guns and JW! They are doing what Magoo refused himself from.
“Yet it is disappointing that we must continually battle the Sessions Justice Department for basic information on corruption in the Obama Justice Department.”
Yet the useful idiot brigade in their safe-space threads still say, “Trust Sessions!”
Trump should fire Sessions, Rosenstein, and Mueller, period. Let the chips fall where they may. And pardon Mannafort outright.
F the resistance!!!!!
I don’t understand why a blatant act of destroying electronic data (after a subpoena was issued) is not considered a gross act of obstruction of justice?
Judicial watch since the Larry Klayman days has been the only real investigative group of fedzilla corruption.
Mark Levin and landmark legal and ACLJ as well
The IG report is your typical fedguv WHITEWASH. NO TEETH
