Significant Other (S/O) for the doctor who treated Seth Rich.

Both the doctor and the S/O had multiple visits to the WH, according to WND.

S/O also a lobbyist for Uranium One.

Looks like a sticky wicket.

As Domestic Spying Rises, Some Prosecutions Drop
July 11, 200812:01 AM ET
Heard on Morning Edition

Data rom the Justice Department and the group Human Rights First reveal an inverse trend between FISA requests and prosecutions of Islamist extremists.

Since Sept. 11, the number of spying warrants approved by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has more than doubled, according to statistics the Justice Department releases each year. At the same time, the number of criminal indictments against people associated with Islamist extremist groups has dropped by more than half, according to a recent study by the group Human Rights First.

Current and former officials at the FBI and the Justice Department say those two statistics demonstrate a shift in the way the government is addressing the challenge of terrorism. The officials say the pendulum is swinging from a model that favors criminal prosecutions to one that favors more intelligence gathering.

That intelligence does not necessarily culminate in an indictment. In many cases, these officials say, the government is relying on other ways of addressing terrorist plots besides indictments and trials.

DAVID LAUFMAN used to prosecute terrorism cases as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia. That office handles more terrorism cases than almost anywhere else in the country. When he left government work for private practice a year ago, Laufman says he “didn’t see anything coming down the pipeline.”

^^^^^^^The number of terrorism cases the FBI was referring to the U.S. attorney’s office had dropped significantly. Laufman does not think that drop is a result of fewer would-be terrorists operating in the country. Instead, he believes it reflects, “a quiet revolution at the FBI.” He says as the FBI has transformed itself into an intelligence agency since Sept. 11, decision makers at the bureau have chosen to continue spying on terrorism suspects “at the expense of preparing cases for potential criminal prosecution down the road.”
