Go run a search on DuckDuckGo "attending physician for Seth Rich, ER."

Down in the list is a link to www.voat.com (Yes, I know.) The name Lisa Kountoupes is cited and the post includes a citation that she is allegedly a lobbyist for Uranium One.

What a small town that District of Corruption.

Wow....another very good summary of the crimes and the importance of the Inspector General Horowitz.

Thank you for the link.

So what everybody ASSUMED for 2 weeks was wrong. The #Strzok / #LisaPage text messages turning up in the media are due to unauthorized LEAKS, not the DOJ Inspector General giving everybody a preview of his own report. Holy crap.

-—and-—

Here’s what it breaks down to:

#1. Did you have any objection to the DOJ releasing these records?

No.

#2. Did the DOJ consult you before they did that thing you had no objection to?

No.

I’m going for a long walk.

Wow.... now that’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout Willis.

[ptsal]

Well, the information is out of Pandora’s Box and propagating in the wild.

Now what?

[txhurl]

Tainted Grand Juries throughout DC. Which voted 96% for HRC, so that may not be a bad thing, but are there ANY venue areas where there’s a chance a non-swamper could be picked for any GJ in any of these crimes?

[ptsal]

I would have said Alabama, but it looks like that state has gone down the primrose path.

Don’t forget this FBI player:

Education

James A. Baker is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and received a J.D. and M.A. from the University of Michigan. Mr. Baker has taught National Security Law at Harvard University Law School since 2009.
Government service

He joined the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice as a federal prosecutor during the Clinton administration. In 1996 he joined Office of Intelligence Policy and Review (OIPR). This government agency handles all Justice Department requests for surveillance authorizations under the terms of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, advises the Attorney General and all major intelligence-gathering agencies on legal issues relating to national security and surveillance, and “coordinates” the views of the intelligence community regarding intelligence legislation.[2] Baker has often testified before Congress on behalf of Clinton and Bush administration intelligence policies, including defending The Patriot Act before the House Judiciary Committee.[3][4]

In 1998 was promoted to Deputy Counsel for Intelligence Operations. From May 2001 he served as Acting Counsel, and in January 2002 was appointed Counsel. In January 2014, he was appointed General Counsel of the FBI
Controversy

In 2004, according to The Washington Post, Baker was responsible for the discovery that “the government’s failure to share information” regarding the NSA electronic surveillance program had “rendered useless a federal screening system” insisted upon by the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to prevent “tainted information”—in U.S. case law, fruit of the poisonous tree—from being used before the court. Baker was reported to have informed presiding federal judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the FISC, whose complaints to the Justice Department led to the temporary suspension of the NSA program.[5]

In 2007, according to The Washington Post, Baker revealed that he had informed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales “about mistakes the FBI has made or problems or violations or compliance incidents” prior to Gonzales’ April 2005 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee that “”There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse” after 2001.[6]

In 2017, Sinclair-owned Circa reported that Baker is under a Department of Justice criminal investigation for allegedly leaking classified national security information concerning the Trump administration to the media.[7]

Who would know better how to protect himself from a trail of incriminating evidence than the Director of Counter-INtelligence?

This is beginning to look like a novel by John Le Carre but set in the U.S.
