Judicial Watch: Documents Reveal Obama State Department Urgently Provided Classified ‘Russiagate’
JUDICIAL WATCH ^ | 12/14/2018 | ADMIN

Posted on 12/14/2018 9:03:42 AM PST by bitt

Judicial Watch today released two sets of heavily redacted State Department documents, 38 pages and 48 pages, showing classified information was researched and disseminated to multiple U.S. Senators by the Obama administration immediately prior to President Donald Trump’s inauguration. The documents reveal that among those receiving the classified documents were Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Sen. Robert Corker (R-TN).

Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a June 2018 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the State Department after it failed to respond to a February 2018 request seeking records of the Obama State Department’s last-minute efforts to share classified information about Russia election interference issues with Democratic Senator Ben Cardin (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv-01381)).

The documents reveal the Obama State Department urgently gathering classified Russia investigation information and disseminating it to members of Congress within hours of Donald Trump taking office.

In a Thursday, January 5, 2017, email chain then-State Department Congressional Advisor Hera Abassi indicates that then-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland’s bureau was attempting to get Russian investigation related documents to the office of Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) office as quickly as possible. (In June 2016 Nuland permitted a meeting between Steele and the FBI’s legal attaché in Rome. Nuland told CBS News that the State Department knew about the Steele dossier by July 2016.)

There should never have been an Obama administration.

Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.

Nothing will come of any of this because almost everyone in the District of Corruption was complicit in the violation of the Constitution.

The Obama Administration corruption that has now been exposed is breathtaking and many of those officials remain embedded in the Federal government. These individuals are effectively enemy agents and should be tried and executed.

Fwiw, I sent a e-mail to Warner asking why he colluded with the half African homosexual known as Obama. I wonder if I’ll get a response.

Obama officials were concerned, according to the report [in The New York Times], that the Trump administration would cover up intelligence once power changed hands.”

"There should never have been an Obama administration.

That's right. The problem was, (and still is), not enough of the citizenry gave a damn or were simply ignorant of the issue. And then there's the problem of a totally spineless congress.

"Nothing will come of any of this because almost everyone in the District of Corruption was complicit in the violation of the Constitution."

True again. Draining the swamp is a great sounding bumper sticker...but actually accomplishing it would be nearly impossible. Everyone, on all sides of the isle, have their hands in the cookie jar to some extent.

Proof that Corker is a fraud. I am sure that the conservatives are far better off now that frauds have retired in the republican party. Its not complete. But we have moved out several fakes, (or should I say flakes) who have been masquerading as conservatives.

Corker is an undocumented Democrat in an R jersey.

Flake, Corker, Hatch quit and Heller lost, but Romney got elected and Democrats replaced Flake and Heller, so we only gained one Senator that sides with the citizens.

Alexander, Graham, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.

We have to do a lot better.

Bob Corker needs to step up to the plate and start swinging... singing or whatever...

RE: "Nothing will come of any of this because almost everyone in the District of Corruption was complicit in the violation of the Constitution."

That is also precisely the reason that nothing will come of any further revelations regarding corruption in FBI and DOj or criminal and treasonous activity in the Clinton crime family. It would quite simply ensnare so many people in Washington that the trial would be impossible to conduct because neither impartial juries nor unbiased judges can be found.

As it is, the appeals that are already being prepared for people convicted in cases prosecuted by the legions of corrupt FBI and DOJ personnel now being exposed will probably clog the courts for years.

Fitton needs to place these Obama travesties on his lengthening J/W FOIA agenda:

<><> The DOJ has info on Obama's unprecedented internal spying on Trump's 2016 campaign, including FBI docs.
.......The DOJ sent Intel Chair Devin Nunes the info.

<><> The Chicago-based tax-exempt Obama Foundation says it wont release the names of his donors.
.........Americans need to have this information.

<><> Obama is exploiting the presidency----pocketing huge speaking fees...
.........he will not reveal the terms of his speaking engagements.

<><> Comey, Clapper, Brennan, possible Susan Rice Face Civil and Criminal Liability for Spying on Americans.
........Americans need to see more on this.
