Recent release by Sen. @ChuckGrassley suggests systemic violations of Brady by FBI. Brady rule requires government to disclose exculpatory evidence in criminal case; to comply, FBI agents search Sentinel system. Brady mandate is considered a constitutional requirement.
Margot Cleveland has her take on it as well: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1928580853245898772.html
The legal term is that it is that the SOL is tolled because of fraud.
Mandates this. Definitely go to the threadreader link for the embedded text docs as images:

🧵🧵🧵Recent release by Sen. @ChuckGrassley suggests systemic violations of Brady by FBI. Brady rule requires government to disclose exculpatory evidence in criminal case; to comply, FBI agents search Sentinel system. Brady mandate is considered a constitutional requirement. 1/
2/ But according to FBI Wash. Field Office EC sent to SC Office on 9/18/19, Sentinel system includes “invisible files” that can’t just not read, but that you don’t even know exist-files identified as “Prohibited Access” files, NOT to be confused w/ Restricted Access files.
3/ Here’s how EC explained “Prohibited Access” files, versus Restricted Access. According to this FBI Agent, then, when you search Sentinel for various terms, if the files are coded “Prohibited Access,” search will show NO responsive documents.

4/ In contrast, when things are coded “Restricted Access,” a search will show hits but the FBI agent without the proper clearance/authority cannot view the document.
5/ Washington Field Office FBI agent’s EC noted that May 30, 2019 (day after SC Mueller resigned), SC’s office provided FBI agent Bruce Ohr’s redacted FD-302s but asked for unredacted versions which were in “Prohibited Access” holdings.
Image
6/ EC adds SC Team said most “but not all” documents “had been migrated from Prohibited status to Restricted Access status, . . .” SIGNIFICANTLY, though, “investigators would (and do) remain incapable of identifying potentially relevant serials” in “Prohibited Access” status.
Image
7/ That paragraph CONFIRMS two different systems, with Restricted Access you can’t view document but you know it exists, while Prohibited Access, you don’t even know there is a document—it is invisible.
8/ This paragraph confirms the point: The Washington Field Office agent can tell there are 70 documents in the Restricted Access system that include the search term “Berkowitz,” but cannot know how many more are in “Prohibited Access” because the Sentinel system will not show any “hits” if the documents are in Prohibited Access.
Image
9/ So while everyone is focusing on Nellie Ohr, her alleged lies to Congress, and the burying of the case against her—did Post SC Mueller’s office ever provide the documents—the scandal here is MUCH BIGGER!!
10/ FBI’s maintenance of “Prohibited Access” files that DO NOT SHOW UP IN SEARCH REQUESTS in Sentinel means agents pulling Brady material to comply WITH THE CONSTITUTION, will not even know there are potentially exculpatory materials they should be providing.
11/ Then there’s civil cases (think FBI’s role in the Censorship Industrial Complex!!!), FOIA cases, and Congressional Investigations! The files are INVISIBLE and won’t appear in the search.
12/ This isn’t me saying that...it is an FBI agent saying that in an EC sent to the Post Special Counsel’s Office AND THAT EC WAS APPROVED BY THREE SUPERVISORS!
Image
13/ Was this why Special Counsel Smith didn’t turn over material to Trump in the electors’ case? Because the documents were invisible in a Sentinel search?
Image
14/ This scandal is no longer about Trump or the corruption of the Russia-collusion hoax investigators—it calls into question the way the FBI handles documents that it is legally and sometimes constitutionally required to turn over, via FOIA, Congressional investigation, Brady,
15/ criminal and civil procedure. Questions for @FBIDirectorKash Does the FBI currently use the “prohibited access” designation to make documents invisible in Sentinel? How does FBI comply with FOIA/Brady/Civil Discovery/Congressional Investigations then?
@FBIDirectorKash 16/16 Did Durham & the IG search for “Prohibited Access” documents? Why note? Did Post Special Counsel Mueller ever provide the Washington Field office the documents related to Nellie Ohr & search Prohibited Access?
@FBIDirectorKash 17/ Here is how the DOJ’s IG describes “Prohibited Access.”
We need more transparency. The government should make an effort to be TOO transparent. Say stuff that perhaps should have been hidden. Make mistakes in THAT direction. Let the people know. In 10 or 20 years maybe we can make a correction and say “We really do need to hide some stuff”. But let us experience a time in which the government doesn’t actually manipulate us through lies and hidden information.
Yup
Twitchy members can see comments. Might be helpful to post some of that here
So, if the Fibbies are holding on to exculpatory evidence, how many people have been wrongly convicted of a? How many appeals are going to be brought across the entire federal prison system, alleging a wrongful conviction? Frankly, EVERY single federal conviction in which the FbI was involved SHOULD be overturned.

There, fixed it.
Not only were there conspiracies for crimes that were systematically covered up and hidden, conspiracy was executed by people in and out government and law enforcement who were supposed to be investigating and enforcing the laws. Oh and by the way, these laws were broken and covered up in a effort to try to remove a sitting president from office via impeachment twice plus a blatantly stolen election by his opponent who has strong ties to China, influence peddling and criminal interests.
The theft of the election had catastrophic consequences for both the United States and the rest of the world - except China . China benefited economically politically and militarily under Joe Biden.
The Biden Presidency resulted in millions dead injured or oppressed around the world from wars, terrorism and drug/human trafficking, millions of criminals, saboteur, terrorists and illegal aliens invading our country and trillions of dollars of taxpayer money squandered or stolen.
The Biden and FBI manufactured J6 crimes to cover up the stolen election, distract the American public, and to break up and intimidate any opposition to Biden presidency and policies.
and craziest of all, this whole thing may just have been exposed by a high level FBI employee who finally said enough is enough when ex FBI director James Comey posted his 86 47 shells X tweet to signal the assassination of a sitting President.
With these astounding revelations it's not just totally plausible, it's pretty much for certain Epstein didn't kill himself, LBJ, GHW Bush and Fidel Castro stuffed themselves into the back seat of an SR71 to blast JFK with a laser shark strapped the top of the Blackbird and Big Foot ate Jimmy Hoffa for breakfast.
I wonder if hundreds of cases can now be appealed on the grounds that the FBI has a deliberate practice of refusing to provide exculpatory evidence.
Mark…
I thought about that, and there’s no way to PROVE that they did. This story says that they have a secret rating for documents. Without a list of those documents defense can’t PROVE that they hid info. And they seemingly can’t be compelled to honestly produce any documentation on any case. If you attempted to compel them, they’d just say “We’ve gotten 4,000,000 requests for exculpatory info, and only a few people have have enough clearance/access to be able to search for that info, so it’ll take us YEARS to be able to confirm/deny that we have anything”. (Hoping that the president will switch back to being a DEM, and they can just ignore all the requests).
“But let us experience a time in which the government doesn’t actually manipulate us through lies and hidden information.”
**********
Shouldn’t even have to ask for things like transparency and accountability in our representative democracy, but the voters don’t seem all that interested in demanding it. Even in the face of widespread loss of confidence in our institutions.
BTW did you see recent Patel and Bongino appearances on Fox? They looked like deers in the headlights. Nothing but dodging and obfuscation from them. Patel looked extremely uncomfortable. They are all in on stonewalling the Epstein files, for whatever reasons. So much for hoped for transparency and accountability. Very disappointing.
Is the burden of proof on the defendant, to prove that they didn’t receive exculpatory evidence? Or is it on the prosecution to prove that they DID? The responsibility of providing it is a Constitutional demand for the prosecution to do. If it can be proven that they did not search all the databases that is all the proof it would take. If they did search the Forbidden database then they should have a record of that search.
It should be pretty easy to determine whether they did due diligence in searching all their databases. If there are so few who can search the Forbidden database, then they must have records of when it was done.
I’m wondering if the “hidden” room that Bongino says they were not allowed to know even exists has those records that are in the Forbidden database, and if that is the room where all the dirty secrets have gone to die.
The Deep State doesn’t believe in resurrection. But I do.
BTW, this would explain why the FBI claimed to have no records with the word “Fuddy” or the tail sign of the plane on which she was flying before she supposedly died. Even though the EMT records had an official ordering the water landing (supposed engine failure) to be reported to the FBI. I asked to see the referral of the case and any materials about it and was told that a search showed nothing.
Now I know that must be because it was classified as “Forbidden” - everything, even the referral. Why would that be, when the law requires that a crash of a commercial plane that seriously injures at least one person (much less supposedly kills one) must be investigated - and that anything in the boundary waters of the US falls to the FBI to investigate? The claim at the time, of course, was that the landing happened out at sea, although we now know that it was actually very close to land - so close that the outcroppings on the ocean floor allowed the “victims” to stand in the water with their flotation vests above the water.
The local authorities insisted they only investigated anything at the request of some other law enforcement body but refused to say WHAT law enforcement body that was.
Now we know. The same FBI that bought the silence of Dennis Montgomery with an immunity deal in exchange for all his evidence incriminating James Clapper and John Brennan in the spoliation of the entire Hawaii Dept of Health database at least 3 times - and then buried all that evidence so that nobody could ever find out the truth and prosecute everybody involved - also hid all the evidence that this deliberate water landing was a plan BY THEMSELVES to get rid of the witness whose involvement in hiding Obama’s eligibility is now directly known, Loretta Fuddy.
I strongly suspect that both the Fuddy files and the HAMR files are in this Prohibited classification and buried in this hidden room, and I hope that Kash and Bongino are scouring all of that. I also hope that Musk’s next job is to look at Montgomery’s files and expose what is there and how it was used by Brennan and Clapper to compromise district judges and Supreme Court justices, at the very least, which is what Montgomery said was the purpose of the breaches he was commissioned to enable through his software and the massive supercomputer Brennan and Clapper had built, “The Hammer”
That information would be extremely timely, now that the whole world can see how the Deep State has weaponized the courts against Donald Trump, the US Constitution, and the citizens of the United States.
And this information would absolutely prove that the US government has been fully overtaken by hostile forces, which would cue the involvement of the US military in restoring the nation to Constitutional governance. Specifically, it would put the trials of these traitors into a military tribunal rather than in the compromised jurisdiction of Washington, DC.
hiding Obama’s INeligibility, that is.
I’m hoping the reason is as disinformation, to lull the Deep State into comfort so they don’t try to get rid of witnesses. And to buy time until the whole coup -with all its moving parts - can be exposed and prosecuted. See my last 2 posts in this thread.
p
It could be that Trump’s people are smoking out the Deep State moles on less critical issues, knowing that before they can investigate the core tentacles of the coup they have to get rid of the moles, or the traitors will know every move being made against them.
And when I think about Patel and Bongino having a deer-in-the-headlight look, knowing that you are tasked with bringing down the whole world cabal would give a person that kind of look, I think. They have not only the powers of this world after them, but also all the powers of Hell. If they shoot off too soon they will ruin everything; if they don’t give the public SOMETHING they will anger them and lose the next election and any chance of even trying to fight this cabal.
More than anything, I think we all need to be on our knees praying for Patel and Bongino, and Bondi, Gabbard, and all the others who are actually in the arena fighting, knowing that they have saboteurs in their midst who would slice their throats and the throats of all the investigations at a moment’s notice if any eyelids think about getting sleepy. This is an EXTREMELY dark and dangerous time. I believe what they are battling is the Babylon of Revelation (the powers controlling all the world’s money), complete with the dragon (Satan) and both beasts (the religious beast and the political beast). This is a war of truly Biblical proportions. We absolutely need to be on our knees, because only God can win this war. And we need to be repenting; God says when His people repent, pray, and seek His will He will hear from Heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.
We got where we are because we have ceased to be a godly people and have allowed beasts to devour everything good that we stand for. We concentrated on keeping our families comfortable and secure as if earthly provisions are what would provide that security and provenance, which is actually trusting a false god. And in so doing we failed to fight the bigger war - the war over our very souls. This is absolutely a spiritual battle, and just like Moses pleaded with God to find somebody else to set His people free from the chains of Egypt, those at the forefront of this battle KNOW they are not up to this challenge. They can only even try if they know the LORD will fight for them. And that is what our repentance and prayers are for. God will lead a horse to water, but even He won’t make it drink. It has to want to drink. America has to want to heal, and at the point that we do, God will heal us.
