Senate Judiciary Committee declassifies FBI’s files outlining plot to undermine Trump

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been hiding the truth from Congress and the public, and they’ve just been caught. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Friday called for an investigation of the internal tools the G-men have been using to conceal their official actions from legitimate oversight.

Material released by the Iowa Republican senator confirms the existence of a secretive electronic file drawer within Sentinel, the FBI’s case management system, allowing the bureau to reply, “We have no responsive documents” when a congressional committee subpoenas information locked within.

The issue came to light in a recently declassified 2019 memo from an agent on the public corruption team asking then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller to release a set of covert files related to Nellie Ohr, a key player in the plot to frame then-candidate Donald Trump as a Russian asset.

“[R]elevant FBI/DOJ information related to this assessment was inaccessible to FBI investigators given that the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations were in FBI systems under ‘Prohibited Access’ status which, unlike ‘Restricted Access’ status, precludes investigators from detecting the existence of potentially relevant serials,” the FBI memo explains.

House Oversight Committee Republicans had sent a criminal referral that accused Mrs. Ohr of lying to Congress when she feigned ignorance of the Justice Department’s collusion investigation. The public corruption team had to come up with a response to the lawmakers.

Mrs. Ohr worked for Fusion GPS, the outfit Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign hired to orchestrate a dirty-tricks operation against Mr. Trump. As the wife of Bruce Ohr, one of the DOJ’s most senior officials, she had privileged access to what was going on.

Emails between the Ohrs did discuss the GOP candidate who went on to become the 45th president. According to the FBI memo, Mrs. Ohr also contributed to the creation of the mendacious

I hope prosecutions follow this.

[HYPOCRACY]

Lol. More likely to see promotions.

Wake me when the shuttle lands.

[coloradan]

I want to see criminal prosecutions of people who failed to produce legally mandated responses to FOIA and oversight document requests. “No one is above the law.”

[flamberge]

I hope prosecutions follow this.

I do not believe there will be any prosecutions. Not even firings. Congressional hearings are merely theatrical productions.

You don't start prosecutions with announcements. You start them with indictments and arrests. That is how the Democrats do things, and it works very effectively. The Republicans must learn from their enemies. Time is running quite short.

Backstory: DC created the modern ntl security apparatus hurriedly after 9/11/01.
<><>DHS formed the “Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004” (ODNI)
<><>opportunistic Obama/Holder criminally viewed this as a progressive dream machine
<><>they sub rosa created a very specific hate-filled ntl security apparatus
<><>one vindictively focused almost exclusively against their political opposition.
<><>preexisting FBI and DOJ were then repurposed by the felonious b****ds
<><>the agencies are now pillars of the vicious progressive domestic national security apparat.

It is important to understand:
<><>Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI;
<><>what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it for their exclusive use
<><>the two colluded to target just one side of the political continuum.
<><>This point is where many people understandably get confused.

The Modern Weaponization of Our National Security
System Is The Lasting Legacy of Barack Obama and Eric Holder

What Obama and Holder did was:
<><>redefine the internal targeting mechanisms of our 17 agency tax-financed ntl security system
<><>so that only their biased predelictions got acted upon
<><>hate-filled O’s ideological opposition became the targets
<><>a subversive new national security system was formed w/ our tax dollars.

Two felonious b*****ds.

"Chuck Grassley on Friday called for an investigation of the internal tools the G-men have been using to conceal their official actions from legitimate oversight."

Perhaps we're about to find out that the entire J-6 "riots" with infested with lots of undercover operatives. It was an FIB operation designed to discredit the "conservative right" and D.J. Trump..

How many cells are left at Leavenworth?

[Twotone]

I did a quick search...

“Yes, there is a statutory limit on prosecuting someone for lying to Congress. The statute of limitations for making false statements under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 is five years from the time the statement was made or submitted, according to Burnham & Gorokhov. This means that if a false statement is made to Congress, the government has five years from that point to initiate a prosecution.”

If it was 2019, long past the limit.

Virtually nothing will happen to everyone involved.

Takes a little bit to really get into it, but there are some precious nuggets in this interview:

Will anyone ever go to jail, even for these most egregious acts? If no one is ever prosecuted then this most certainly will happen again. Look, after J6 people were thrown jail, in solitary confinement in many cases, and not a single judge from Hawaii, let alone the Supreme Court, batted an eye.

So yeah, it’s great another conspiracy theory was proven correct, but unless people are prosecuted it will only inspire worse actions.

And?

As the wife of Bruce Ohr, one of the DOJ’s most senior officials, she had privileged access to what was going on.

I do not recall a spousal exception on any security forms I've signed in my life. "Don't talk about this with anyone, except of course your wife."

[aspasia]

Oh, hadn’t of that before. AI could assist in landing the culprits in the klink!
