FThe Obama administration is moving to dismiss charges against an arms dealer it had accused of selling weapons that were destined for Libyan rebels.

Lawyers for the Justice Department on Monday filed a motion in federal court in Phoenix to drop the case against the arms dealer, an American named Marc Turi, whose lawyers also signed the motion.

.

. The deal averts a trial that threatened to cast additional scrutiny on Hillary Clinton’s private emails as Secretary of State, and to expose reported Central Intelligence Agency attempts to arm rebels fighting Libyan leader Moammar Qadhafi.

Government lawyers were facing a Wednesday deadline to produce documents to Turi’s legal team, and the trial was officially set to begin on Election Day, although it likely would have been delayed by protracted disputes about classified information in the case.

A Turi associate asserted that the government dropped the case because the proceedings could have embarrassed Clinton and President Barack Obama by calling attention to the reported role of their administration in supplying weapons that fell into the hands of Islamic extremist militants."

Judge essentially ruled against the DOJ on discovery issues.
Charges dropped, then this became a civil issue and Turi entered into an agreement with the Feds. Fined 200K - goes away if he stays out of the arms business for a few years.

America, what a country

If the judge is worth anything, he should reject the motion to dismiss on the grounds it constitutes collusion of the parties to obstruct justice against the people of the U.S.

Straight out of “Lords of War”, even down to the shipping container. Looks like it ends about the same way, too. They guy has the goods on the higher-ups, so he walks. Yep.

Gadaffi’s Armaments were on the way to the jihad! Hey!
Obama had to file charges for plausible deniability.

Now he protects Hitlery, when he should have hung her out to DRY!

Obama also is a treasonous POS.

Makes the Iran-contra scandal look like a penuckle game.

Wait until we here about heroine flights from Afgahistan! The heroine epidemic here. Our troops weren’t guarding those fields in the interest of local economic development.

You are desperately in need of spelling help. Spellcheck doesn’t seem to be the answer.

Phone...no glasses and fat fingers.

But, I doubt that’s the offense.

Sleep tight!

Once your behavior makes you blackmail-able, you will be blackmailed.

I think you can thank the UN for the entire travesty. Whatever suits the Saudi rulers and the arab block is what the UN stands for.
