FBI is implicated in destroying evidence to benefit Clinton..
In breaking news, the American Center for Law and Justice or ACLJ (Jay Sekulow's organization, not related to his role as the President's attorney), has obtained actual copies of the immunity agreements pertaining to Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson in the Hillary email scandal. This was a stunning litigation win, hard-fought after years of litigation by the ACLJ attorneys, who were unable to extract the documents through the normal FOIA processes, due to a lack of cooperation by the government.
In reviewing what the agreements uncovered, keep in mind that Cheryl Mills was Secretary Clinton's Chief of Staff at the State Department and then bizarrely, she subsequently served as Clinton’s attorney, representing her in the email scandal. Heather Samuelson worked on Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign, and then became a Senior Advisor to her at the State Department, as well as the White House liaison. Somehow, she also became one of Clinton's personal attorneys during the email scandal.
The immunity agreements issued by the government, were crafted so that the agencies could extract information from the parties, despite the fact that this is not necessary because DOJ has the power to require that the information be turned over. Clinton kept classified emails on a private server in violation of Federal law, and the immunity agreements reveal that both Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson were actively involved in the cover-up of these emails as well as in the destruction of evidence. According to Jordon Sekulow, Executive Director of the ACLJ, it is extremely unusual for someone involved in a criminal cover up, who needs an immunity deal to ensure the evasion of jail time, later becomes the attorney representing the other potential criminal or co-conspirator.
The agreements issued were with DOJ and the FBI. They asserted that Mills and Samuelson would turn over the computers to them, but stipulated that they weren't turning over "custody and control". This critical point is a legal and factual bunch of bunk. The FOIA statute applies to information in the agencies' "custody and control". Anything not in their custody or control cannot be FOIA'd. It is impossible to have an agency physically have a computer and not have it in their "custody or control." Custody and control is not something that suspects have to expressly give over or agree to give over. When they give over the evidence, then obviously, as a matter of fact, they are also giving the agency "custody and control" over that evidence. Suspects cannot withhold "custody and control" by mere words or lack of consent, as consent is not required. In other words, these agreements are extremely flawed and whomever signed off on them should be investigated and perhaps prosecuted. It is clear that the purpose of this clause was to make the arguably illegal activities of Mills and Samuelson out of the reach of FOIA --- in other words, it would be withheld from the public. This is the very definition of corruption.
Additionally, the immunity agreements were broad in scope. There were numerous charges that the agreements gave them immunity from including potential violations of the Federal Records Act, the Classified Information Act and the Espionage Act. According to the ACLJ, nobody has ever gotten immunity from the Espionage Act before. Normally, immunity is for lesser crimes like obstruction of justice, but not espionage. If Mills and Samuelson were charged and convicted of every crime from which they received immunity, they would be potentially subject to twenty-eight years in jail each.
After Clinton illegally sent classified emails on a private server and cell phones (and by the way, people have gone to jail for this even when they did so accidentally because it's that serious), and after Mills and Samuelson purposely worked to cover up and conceal both the emails and the destruction of evidence, and after they were given a sweetheart deal that nobody in history has ever gotten, they became the attorneys for Clinton, representing her in the email case. This shouldn't be allowed because it is a conflict of interests, and not only gives the appearance of impropriety, but indeed, constitutes actual impropriety.
Subsequently, Mills and Samuelson finally gave the computers over to the FBI, which per their agreements, limited the FBI’s investigation. The FBI agreed to limit a) the method by which the emails investigated would be obtained; b) the scope of files which would be investigated, and c) the timeframe parameters for investigated emails. In other words, the FBI agreed in the immunity contracts not to do a full investigation on the Clinton emails. To make matters worse, again, per the immunity agreements, the FBI agreed to destroy the computers that had the back-up emails. As Congressman Jim Jordan referenced during the Mueller hearings recently, the FBI used bleachBit to purge the server so the information could never be accessed in the future and used hammers to smash the cell phones involved. In other words, the FBI and DOJ participated in the destruction of the evidence. In effect, this constitutes is a conspiracy between the Obama DOJ (under Loretta Lynch) and the Comey-led FBI to cover up Clinton’s crimes.
Shortly thereafter, Comey came out publicly and held a press conference exonerating Clinton from any criminal activity, knowing full well that she was never thoroughly investigated, and that his own agency had participated in the destruction of evidence.
To reiterate Comey’s assertions, he stated that Clinton had been "extremely careless" in her handling of classified and sensitive information, but not "grossly negligent", even though the definition of grossly negligent is extremely careless. Gross negligence is the language in the statute necessary to prosecute someone who does this and Comey inaccurately professed that no prosecutor would pursue a case based on these facts, even though those with lesser evidence have indeed been charged.
Currently, there are investigations taking place pertaining to the Clinton email scandal cover-up, as well as the origins of the Trump investigation by the Mueller team, including the roots of the FISA applications. All of the documents uncovered by the ACLJ’s legal win will constitute valuable evidence for AG Bill Barr, the IG and others. Many who follow what is really going on, on a day to day basis have been repeatedly disappointed in the biased and one-sided investigations and the cover-up or blatant disregard of critical facts implicating the pro-Clinton, anti-Trump teams. But Bill Barr and his team are fairly new to the process. He and others, including John Durham, will finally have the opportunity to get to the bottom of all this --- and finally disclose the real collusion, corruption, and obstruction. There’s still hope.
Exactly. The "premier law enforcement agency in the world" is implicated in a crime. So who will investigate? The "premier law enforcement agency in the world?"
The Devil’s chickens are coming home to roost.
Larry Klayman was telling us in the 1990’s about EXPLOSIVE NEW EVIDENCE that would finish the Clintons for good.
I’m still waiting, Larry.
I love the work that Sekulow and his people are doing, but I fear this will go nowhere like so many other attempts to unveil the evil deeds of Bill and his wife. There’s just too much protection around that duo. We can know all the facts in the world, but someone unafraid of Arkancide has to make the first move in the prosecutorial realm.
The doh-j is now just a breeding ground for crickets. I guess they fear too many people have bought into the awesomeness of some of these useless assclowns and upsetting the apple cart would cause too much turmoil. Sad situation.
A (silent) coup of the highest echelon of our Republic and the (expected) squat from the bowels of D.C.
But, more troubling, IMO, is the collective YAWN from 50 ‘independent’ States
One, big circle-jerk farce: State <> Fed ‘over-sight’ & 3 “co-equal” branches.
There’s no need for the last person to turn out the lights, I suspect the power would go out ala Venezuela.
YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, round them up and truck them to Californification.
Enough room for the queers and libtards to live together in an immoral society.
So true. First campaign promise PDJT broke was allowing his one time "friend" Chillary to go unpunished.
It was holds bar for the deep state after that. If he would have perped walked either her or Obammy his first two years would have been a lot easier on his admin.
Indeed most dems would have the fear of God in them.
Splitting the country by mutual agreement makes sense.
Black conservatives would go with us or they could stay with liberals. I'm guessing they'd go with us. Same with any other religious group, ethnic or sexual group. The split would be along ideological lines. We would not accept illegals but Democrats would probably accept every illegal from anywhere in the worlds. And they could do that - drain the third world of residents - WITHOUT US OBJECTING BECAUSE IT'LL BE THEIR VERY OWN COUNTRY. NOT OUR COUNTRY.
Of course we would accept any American who happens to be Hispanic or any member of any other ethnic group that's conservative. (and an American citizen) Many Hispanics have more in common with us than with white liberal elites. Same with other racial groups. Many will choose us.
Why is that so hard to understand?
Liberals should be allowed to have the country of their dreams - every third world person who can walk or fly to their country would be accepted to liberal land... Every person who wanted an abortion up until the moment of birth could have one... all guns would be taken from their citizens. Police could be spit on or have water thrown on them in 'liberal land'... and reparations for all who want them.
Really give me one reason WHY liberals would NOT want to have their own country - run their own way? They hate us - and we would be gone... White liberal elites could have it all... Why keep us around when they hate us?
Every citizen chooses. Tell me one reason liberals would not want this?
Fenton on Hannity when the news broke about Comey not being prosecuted. He looked like he was ready to eat the microphone he was so mad. He ranted on a tad before Hannity actually cut him off. The guy was saying exactly what 99% of the people watching the show believed. Hannity knows now it is all being swept under the run so it is time to go on to the next bombshell: Perhaps Medfed is a Russian agent or some such. What really sends me over the top about this crap is this matter is a prima facia case of obstruction and she is going to walk. Meanwhile, no one has even begun to look at the data that was shared from NSA or the reason for the identities being made known. So much so, it is not even mentioned any more, by anyone.
Well, this is what link #4 in Stanwood_Dave's post says about Trump...
Trump’s AG William Barr a CIA Drug Dealing Assassin & Ruby Ridge & Mueller Connections & Alfa BankSo why would Trump fire Jeff Sessions and appoint a depraved denizen of the Deep State to replace him? Because Trump is the slimiest, scaliest reptile from the deepest darkest part of the Deep State swamp. If you haven’t figured that out yet, you aren’t paying attention.
Note that Trump has been slyly boasting of his swamp creature status for years. Watch him rapturously identifying with the title character in his favorite poem, “The Snake.”
FWIW
Unfortunately, those of us who have been involved in lawsuits where one party was trying to avoid Discovery don’t find this tricky legal behavior terribly surprising.
Politicians are usually attorneys, and the above-described behavior is par for the course for scumbag attorneys.
I watched that and thought Trump was referring to Mexican immigrants as the Snake, not himself. And I love the poem but I don’t think it fits the illegal immigration situation.
“Hillary Clinton has been completely forgotten, nobody cares any more.”
Certainly not one Vincent Foster.
30 months and counting
It doesn’t matter. An Obama appointed judge awaits her.
