2,800 Huma Abedin Government Documents on Husband Weiners Laptop
U.S. Doesnt Vet Counterterrorism Trainees from Developing Nations
A major Clinton scandal development this week: State Department confirmed that it has 2,800 of Huma Abedins work-related documents from the FBI that were found on her estranged husband Anthony Weiners personal laptop.
Abedin was former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons deputy chief of staff. Weiner is a disgraced former congressman and New York mayoral candidate who recently pled guilty to transferring obscene material to a minor. Abedin kept a non-State.gov email account that she used repeatedly for government business on Hillary Clintons notorious email server(s).
The revelation was produced in a May 5, 2015, lawsuit we filed against the State Department ( Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00684)). We sued after the State Department failed to respond to a March 18, 2015, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking: All emails of official State Department business received or sent by former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin from January 1, 2009 through February 1, 2013 using a non-state.gov email address.
In accordance with a court ordered production of documents, the State Departments court filing states : The State Department has identified approximately 2,800 work-related documents among the documents provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. By December 31, 2017, the State Department expects to complete its review and production of the FBI records. The government suggests some of the material may be duplicative of other records.
This is a disturbing development. Our experience with Abedins emails suggests these Weiner laptop documents will include classified and other sensitive materials. When will the Justice Department do a serious investigation of Hillary Clintons and Huma Abedins obvious violations of law?
We previously released 20 productions of documents in this case that show examples of mishandling of classified information and instances of pay to play between the Clinton State Department and the Clinton Foundation. Also, at least 627 emails were not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over, and further contradict a statement by Clinton that, as far as she knew , all of her government emails had been turned over to department.
Well be sure to let you know what documents we finally do receive at the end of the year.
It only takes one terrorist to commit terror. And yet the hole in one of our terrorism training programs is wide enough to allow any number foreigners to escape into the United States. Our Corruption Chronicles blog has the story .
The U.S. government spends upward of $100 million annually to provide foreign security and law enforcement personnel from developing nations with counterterrorism training but fails to vet them or assure they depart the county upon completion of the course. In some cases, the foreign nationals leave the training program unauthorized and the U.S. doesnt bother tracking their whereabouts. Since the candidates werent properly screened in the first place, theres no telling the kind of national security threat they could present.
The program is known as Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA) and the U.S. State Department funds it. From fiscal year 2012 to 2017, the agency doled out $715 million to train about 56,000 security force officials from dozens of partner nations. Nearly 3,000 of those participants were trained at facilities in the United States with anemic oversight from the government. The goal is to enhance the capability of foreign partners to prevent acts of terrorism, address terrorism incidents and capture and prosecute individuals involved in terrorist acts. The problem is that the program itself is vulnerable from a security standpoint, according to a federal audit released this month. Participant data is inaccurate or incomplete and training facilities are susceptible to breaches and attacks, the probe found.
In fact, what prompted the audit into this decades-old State Department program was the lax security at a Virginia ATA training facility. A south Florida news reporter brought it to the attention of veteran congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen after filming herself driving into the facility without being stopped or questioned. And worse, she walked up to an explosives storage area undeterred and undetected, according to a statement posted on Ros-Lehtinens congressional website. Residents near the facility also reported that some of the foreign nationals at the Virginia compound were taking unauthorized departures from the training. Ros-Lehtinen asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress, to launch a probe and the findings are distressing.
Among participants trained in the United States since 2012, ATA has documented 10 participant unauthorized departures from ATA activities and provided related information to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for follow-up, the GAO states. In addition to these 10, ATA recently identified 20 ATA participants trained in fiscal years 2012 through 2016 for whom departure from the United States following the completion of training is unconfirmed. Officials running the ATA program admitted to congressional investigators that there is no formal process to confirm participants return to their home countries following the completion of training. Without such a process, ATA may not be able to assess the extent to which it is using training in line with program goals, the report says. Further, State may not be able to provide information to DHS about participants whose failure to depart may warrant enforcement action.
Ros-Lehtinen, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, says ATAs inaccurate or incomplete participant data is troubling because the U.S. cant assure individuals were fully and properly vetted and programs successor failurescant be measured. The congresswoman is especially bothered by the unauthorized departure from ATA programs and participants that DHS had no indication departed from the U.S. So, who are these people, where did they go, and why is there such a gap in communication between ATA and DHS? Ros-Lehtinen asks. There was no formal process of actually following up and ensuring that these participants actually got on a plane and returned home. This might be a small number of participants, but given what we know, I suspect that if a deeper dive was done we might find more unauthorized departures.
Since its inception in 1983, ATA has trained and assisted over 84,000 foreign security and law enforcement officials from 154 countries, according to State Department figures . Most of the recipients are poor nations that lack resources to keep an effective antiterrorism program and infrastructure, according to the agency. Training includes bomb detection, crime scene investigations, airport and building security, maritime security, dignitary protection, and numerous other disciplines to increase their counterterrorism capabilities and capacity. These officials are now better prepared to fight terrorism and protect Americans overseas in times of crisis, the State Department claims.
Somebody is not minding the store, and the store is full of explosives. Is it too much to ask that we close this loophole?
Until next week
Huma is MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD!!

Someone want to Sessions PULSE, to hell w/ waking!!
It’s a shame she and her boss won’t be soon joining Weiner in the slammer.
Lets git er done, folks!
Huma has some real balls behind this Weiner laptop incident. Further along, her butt needs jailing.
Does Huma have a diplomatic passport?
It takes 2801 dots to indict.
Huma and the Perv wanted ‘insurance’ in case the Clinton’s balked.. or tried to throw them under the bus.
That tell us something about the REAL FEELINGS of Huma... and her Muslim Brotherhood family ... AND Hillary judgement when it came to lovers... and people she ‘trusted’...
Thank God President Trump won... thank God...
2800 dots displayed in the right pattern can show a lot.
To answer your question he reports to prison on Nov 6 for his 21 month sentence.
Amen!
Since the NSA and every other 'intelligence' service in the world listens in on phone conversations it means the NSA knew about this all along. Also that they would rather keep the information and blackmail one of the players - than safe-guard the country.
Are they worth the billions we pay them? To spy on us and to let liberal elites like Huma and Hillary do whatever they damn well please? Total ripoff or worse...
>>When will the Justice Department do a serious investigation of Hillary Clintons and Huma Abedins obvious violations of law?
******************************************************
Dr. Gorka has stated that of all the Depts, the DOJ is/was the most infiltrated with swampmonsters than any other dept.
I suspect no serious investigation will ever occur unless someone is appointed who will fire or reassign with no supplies all the swampsters to remote parts of Alaska.
