AN FBI WHISTLERBLOWER CAME FORWARD TO CONGRESS AND SPECIFIED THAT TRUMP'S GOP LEADERS "SUSPICIOUSLY SUPPRESSED" ANY INVESTIGATION INTO "ANY FORMER OR CURRENT ASSOCIATES OF TRUMP", AND SO IS THIS WHY TRUMP AND THE GOP SPECIFIED THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR CONSPIRACY WITH RUSSIA?
As reported by Salon Magazine's Tatyana Tandapolie, on August 10, 2023, "An FBI agent's supervisor told him to halt an investigation into Rudy Giuliani and cut ties with any informants who reported on the corruption of former President Donald Trump's associates in August 2022, a 22-page whistleblower complaint obtained by Insider shows. The 14-year veteran of the bureau, whose tenure includes a long-term assignment to Russia-centered counterintelligence, alleged in the statement that his bosses interfered with his work in "a highly suspicious suppression of investigations and intelligence-gathering" seeking to shield "certain politically active figures and possibly also FBI agents" who were tied to Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs.
Those individuals, according to the statement, explicitly included "anyone in the White House and any former or current associates of President Trump." The complaint was leaked and posted to a Substack newsletter in mid-July after being originally prepared for Senate Judiciary Committee staffers. The whistleblower, the name of whom the outlet is withholding because he is still an FBI employee and seeking protections from Congress, said he was motivated to file the complaint by a desire to improve the federal agency because of its power to hold "policymakers accountable, whether they're on the left or the right." He added, "This is a decision point. Are we going to do public corruption or not?""[2]
Public corruption falls under RICO laws, "A federal law providing for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization", and, "Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-68. A federal law targeting organized criminal activity. To protect economic enterprise, RICO threatens with civil and criminal penalties persons who benefit from racketeering or the collection of unlawful debts", and, "Set of illegal activities aimed at commercial profit that may be disguised as legitimate business deals. Common examples include fraud, extortion, bribery, and actual or threatened violence." [3][4][5][6]
Accordingly, a seasoned FBI investigator sum up his obstructed investigation of the Trump administration by the Trump administration as being consistent with an ongoing criminal organization, involved in racketeering, influence, and/or corruption, involved in the collection of unlawful debts, fraud, extortion, bribery, violence, and/or threats of violence disguised as legitimate organizational and/or government practices.
THE FBI WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTED BY CONGRESS WAS RETALIATED AGAINST AND DEFAMED BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FOR INVESTIGATION PUBLIC CORRUPTION LINKED TO THE TRUMP AND RUSSIAN OVERLAPPING ORBITS, IN A MANNER THAT WAS ALSO (1) LINKED TO BRIBES ON BEHALF OF DERIPASKA TO FBI'S MCGONIAL, TO DROP RUSSIAN SANCTIONS AND OBTAIN INTEL; AND/OR (2) LINKED TO BRIBES FROM ACTIVISTS IN CALIFORNIA, WHERE IN PART CROSSFIRE HURRICANE BEGAN, WHICH WAS THE PRECURSOR TO THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION, AND (3) WHICH RESULTED IN THE LIMITED SCOPE OF THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, FACILITATED BY ROD ROSENSTEIN, AN AID TO TRUMP'S ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF SESSIONS, IN THE CONTEXT SESSIONS WAS PRESENT AT THE MAYFLOWER HOTEL APRIL 27, 2016 WITH TRUMP, THE GOP, SACRAMENTO/CA GOP'S DEVIN NUNES, AND/OR RUSSIANS CONSPIRING TO DROP RUSSIAN SANCTIONS AND ALLOW THE SALE OF ROSNEFT, IN EXCHANGE FOR PUTIN AND RUSSIA PRE-APPROVING A TREASON AND ELECTIONS CONSPIRACY "ENGINEERING" PLOT JANUARY 2016; AND (5) WHERE THE TRUMP TOWER MEETING WITH DON JR., PAUL MANAFORT, AND JARED KUSHNER OVERTLY FURTHERED THE DROPPING OF SANCTIONS FOR TREASON AND ELECTIONS FRAUD CONSPIRACY SPOKE ON JUNE 9, 2016; AND (6) WHERE AFTER RUSSIA ENGINEERED TRUMP AND THE GOP IN POWER, RUSSIAN SANCTIONS WERE DROPPED AND/OR ROSNEFT WAS SOLD COMPLETING AT LEAST SOME OF THE MAYFLOWER AND/OR TRUMP TOWER CONSPIRACY; AND (7) WHEREAFTER THE GOP AND DEVIN NUNES WHO WERE PRESENT AT THE MAYFLOWER HOTEL, OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE INTO SOME TO ALL OF THE SAME, WHILE U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATING THE SAME WERE SILENCED, FILTERED, DEFAMED, AND RETALIATED AGAINST, SO THAT (8) RUSSIA'S TRUMP AND THE GOP COULD DECEIVE DONORS AND VOTERS INTO BELIEVING THEY HADN'T DISQUALIFIED THEMSELVES BEFORE AND AFTER THE 2016 ELECTIONS IN A TREASON, ELECTIONS FRAUD, RICO, WITNESS AND INVESTIGATOR INTIMIDATION, AND/OR OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE ONGOING CONSPIRACY TO GIVE AID, COMFORT, AND ADHERE TO THE #1 ENEMY OF THE USA; AND (9) BECAUSE IF CAUGHT, THEY COULD BE PUT TO DEATH, AND EVERY CHANGE THEY MADE TO THE GOVERNMENT COULD BE NULLIFIED, BECAUSE THEY MADE THEMSELVES INELIGIBLE FOR OFFICE BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTIONS, AND THEN AGAIN IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, AND THEN THEREAFTER AGAIN -- BY RICO OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS AND RICO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE INTO ALL INVESTIGATIONS INTO ALL OF THE SAME
Having investigated this 22 page whistleblower complaint, dated July 15, 2023 -- which Russia's "engineered" Trump and GOP's-installed SCOTUS majority pre-emptively sought to obstruct justice for weeks ahead of time on June 16, 2023, by corrupting the law enforcement role of whistleblowers on behalf of the United States -- this whistleblower acting on behalf of the United States was defamed and retaliated against, and then bogged down by corrupted co-conspirators of Russia, under color of law in the U.S. aiding Russia, to obstruct the FBI whistleblower's ability to investigate and report the highest crimes against the United States -- which will become very important to our future reporting -- because this forms a pattern of Trump and/or the GOP attacking other whistleblowers in exactly the same manner to aid, comfort, and adhere to Russia, forming and furthering several other ongoing spokes in the broader ongoing criminal conspiracy of Russia's and Jeffrey Epstein's organized crime syndicate involved in not just child trafficking, but in many other organized crimes, infra.
Furthermore, this 22 page complaint specified that Russian oligarch Deripaska and activists in California had been engaged in bribing efforts, and where of course the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump and Russia, in part began after Senator Dianne Feinstein championed this investigation to protect the United States from America's #1 enemy.[2][7]
To deconstruct the enormous subheading above -- which speaks for itself -- prior to the 2016 elections, Putin proxy, Felix Sater, proposed in November 2015, to Donald Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen, and by email, that Putin had the technical ability to "engineer" Trump and the GOP into public office, in part because some to all of the elections systems of the United States are connected to the internet, and where almost every device, if not every device, connected to the internet can be hacked in a manner that others can't readily track or perceive, especially if the tracking logs of hacking events are deleted.[7]
Then Putin personally approved Felix Sater's November 2015 proposal to Michael Cohen by January 2016.[7]
Then Putin sent Russian Ambassador Kislyak to the Mayflower Hotel to meet with Trump, his family, the GOP, CA/Sacramento GOP's Devin Nunes, and/or others to negotiate specific terms for Russia, Russia's military, Russian oligarchs, Russian Banks, Putin, Cambridge Analytica, Facebook, GOP billionaire dark money financiers linked to the crime syndicate of Jeffrey Epstein, respectively and/or collectively overtly furthering the "engineering" of Jeffrey Epstein's Trump, the GOP, and Jeffrey Epstein's Brexit candidates into power -- and where some of those treason and elections fraud conspiracy terms are known in an expressed and/or implied manner -- including but not limited to (1) Trump, Trump's family, their organizations, and/or the GOP and/or their tributaries agreeing to commit treason against the United States to give comfort, aid, and adhere to Russia; and (2) them agreeing to commit elections fraud against the United States to give comfort, aid, and adhere to Russia; and (3) them agreeing to violate the 14th Amendment Section 3 to later be able to attack and erode the United States constitution and oaths of office to give comfort, aid, and adhere to Russia; and (4) them agreeing to engage in witness and investigator intimidation and obstruction against the United States, to give comfort, aid, and adhere to Russia; and (5) them agreeing to drop sanctions against Russia and/or Russian companies whose then much improved revenue would allow Russian's military the ability to attack, harm, threaten, and/or kill more Americans and American allies to give comfort, aid, and adhere to Russia; and (6) them agreeing to the partial sale of Rosneft, but not limited to the same; and (7) them agreeing to stalk, cyberstalk, retaliate against, pre-emptively defame and discredit by any means, intimidate, destabilize, terrorize, and/or obstruct some to any person(s) who tried to investigate the same to protect the United States from the same -- as ongoing organized crime unlawfully usurping and weaponizing corrupted public office to evade the death penalty would -- is a reasonable inference, based on the evidence.[7][2]
At least one to some of those Mayflower Hotel sedition, treason, RICO, obstruction, elections fraud, terrorism, and/or financing ongoing criminal conspiracy crime spokes and/or terms were furthered before the 2016 electons, immediately thereafter, and/or thereafter Trump and the GOP had full power, for example but not limited to,
(1) efforts to plan how and which sanctions to drop;
(2) when and how much Rosneft would be sold for;
(3) when and how to engineer Trump, GOP, and Brexit into power;
(4) how to traffic children from Ukraine to Russia and then from Russia to the Trump family and Trump Organization;
(5) how and when to obstruct justice for all of the same, including but not limited to,
(A) obstructing the Mueller and Crossfire Hurricane Investigations;
(B) deploying a secret, retroactive, and/or illegal Special Counsel who would corrupt and obstruct, John Durham;
(C) obstructing both impeachments of Trump;
(D) engaging in an insurrection;
(E) stealing top secret documents;
(F) obstructing justice for all of the same; and/or
(G) weaponizing the government against those investigating the same, but not limited to the same).[7][8]
These terms were made at the Mayflower Hotel and/or Trump Tower meeting and were overtly plotted, furthered in any manner, and/or achieved BEFORE the 2016 elections by Trump, his family, their organizations, the Trump campaign, the GOP/RNC, Russia, Cambridge Analytica, Facebook, and/or others, and then immediately after, and then thereafter again throughout their illegitimate administration.[7][8]
And as specified by members of the very conservative Federalist Society, this and/or similar conduct "immediately" and/or retrospectively made Trump and/or all of the GOP, and/or any others ineligible for office before and/or after the 2016 elections, and in a manner that no court nor jury ever needs to see, these constitutional lawyers specifying that this how the U.S. Constitution Trump and the GOP tried to overthrow for Russia was constructed -- as specified and/or implied by these Federal Society lawyers who helped hand-pick the 6/9 SCOTUS majority.[9]
LAWYERS FROM SCOTUS' VERY REPUBLICAN FEDERALIST SOCIETY CONCLUDE TRUMP AND/OR HIS CO-CONSPIRATORS "IMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFIED" THEMSELVES PER US LAW, LAW WHICH REQUIRES NO COURT NOR JURY TO APPLY
You can trust that when the most conservative body of lawyers in the country -- who get to propose who is a SCOTUS justice to Republican presidents -- specify there is no path for Trump and/or the GOP to seek public office -- that this isn't the "radical left" proposing the same, but hardcore Republican lawyers specifying the same based on their knowledge of established law.
They further differentiated and/or implied that the courts/congress can only determine if the same was criminal or not, and that this was entirely independent of whether or not their conduct immediately made them ineligible for public office per the construct of the constitution, making reference to the 14th Amendment Section 3, but where treason, insurrection, and elections fraud also made Trump and the GOP ineligible to change even one thing about how the US government functions, especially to the advantage of America's #1 enemy and Jeffrey Epstein's organized crime syndicate -- fully explaining why Trump, the GOP, and Russia became radicalized and radicalized others between 2016 and 2023, because they were facing the death penalty if caught, and the nullification of every change they made to the government, and then some.
More specifically, and reported by Salon Magazine's Igor Derysh, 8/11/2023, ""When we started out, neither of us was sure what the answer was," Baude told the outlet. "People were talking about this provision of the Constitution. We thought: 'We're constitutional scholars, and this is an important constitutional question. We ought to figure out what's really going on here.' And the more we dug into it, the more we realized that we had something to add."
The professors' conclusion, he said, is that Trump "cannot be president — cannot run for president, cannot become president, cannot hold office — unless two-thirds of Congress decides to grant him amnesty for his conduct on Jan. 6."
While a law review article is not going to stop Trump's campaign for the White House, it could boost lawsuits arguing that he is ineligible for office under the U.S. Constitution. A New Mexico judge last year removed a county commissioner, Couy Griffin, after finding that he was disqualified under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars any person who took an oath to support the Constitution and then "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" or gave "aid or comfort" to insurrectionists. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), which plans to file a similar suit seeking to bar Trump.
"There are many ways that this could become a lawsuit presenting a vital constitutional issue that potentially the Supreme Court would want to hear and decide," Paulsen told the Times.
Noah Bookbinder, CREW's executive director, explained that disqualification under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is "not a punishment."
"The constitution sets out qualifications for the good of our republic," he tweeted. "Just like a 30-year-old would be disqualified from being president, Donald Trump disqualified himself when he incited insurrection."
The article similarly notes that Section 3 is "self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office."
The article argues that there is "abundant evidence" that Trump engaged in an insurrection, citing his efforts to change vote counts through threats and intimidation and urging his supporters to march on the Capitol.
"It is unquestionably fair to say that Trump 'engaged in' the Jan. 6 insurrection through both his actions and his inaction," the article said.
Steven Calabresi, a law professor at Northwestern and Yale and a founder of the Federalist Society, called the 126-page article a "tour de force."
But James Bopp Jr., an attorney who represented members of Congress whose candidacies were challenged under the provision, told the Times that the scholars "have adopted a ridiculously broad view."
Bopp successfully defended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in a case where a judge found that she had not taken part in or encouraged the Jan. 6 attacks after she took her oath of office on Jan. 3. But a federal appeals court ruled against a key argument in his defense of Rep. Madison Cawthorn, though that case was rendered moot after he lost his 2022 primary.
The article argues that the "full legal consequences" of Section 3 "have not been appreciated or enforced."
"It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications," the article says.
"Section Three covers a broad range of conduct against the authority of the constitutional order, including many instances of indirect participation or support as 'aid or comfort,'" the article's abstract said. "It covers a broad range of former offices, including the Presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election."
Calabresi told the Times that election administrators must act.
"Trump is ineligible to be on the ballot, and each of the 50 state secretaries of state has an obligation to print ballots without his name on them," he told the outlet, adding that they may be sued if they refuse.
Trump is also facing prosecution for his role in the post-election scheme but that case and Section 3 address "completely separate questions," Baude told the Times.
"The question of should Donald Trump go to jail is entrusted to the criminal process," he said. "The question of should he be allowed to take the constitutional oath again and be given constitutional power again is not a question given to any jury.""[9]
Returning, a seasoned FBI investigator summed up his obstructed investigation of the Trump administration by the Trump administration as being consistent with an ongoing criminal organization, involved in racketeering, influence, and/or corruption, involved in the collection of unlawful debts, fraud, extortion, bribery, violence, and/or threats of violence disguised as legitimate organizational and/or government practices, in a manner that was aiding, adhering to, and/or comforting the #1 enemy of every American -- Russia -- facilitated by the GOP, CA/Sacramento GOP, and Trump administrations, under the control of Donald J. Trump and his ongoing criminal organization, who thereafter obstructed justice for the same through to the present day in order to evade criminal, civil, and historical prosecution, lawsuits, liability, lifetime prison sentences, and/or execution, so they could make money and claw back rights for everyone else, especially those in a position to ensure they would be hanged, electrocuted, subjected to lethal injection, and/or a firing squad -- is a reasonable inference and/or a concise summary of the events, and/or the motives and intent behind the conduct resulting in these events.
JEFF SESSIONS' ROD ROSENSTEIN LIMITED THE SCOPE OF WHO AND WHAT COULD BE INVESTIGATED WHEN IT CAME TO INVESTIGATING TRUMP, TRUMP'S FAMILY, THEIR ORGANIZATIONS, AND THE #1 ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES -- RUSSIA
As reported by the New York Times, the Mayflower Hotel's treason meeting attended by Jeff Session's Rod Rosenstein "limited the scope" of who and what could be investigated, and how far back, to precisely disconnect the dots of the treason and elections fraud conspiracy the Mayflower Hotel's Jeff Session's and later the Mayflower Hotel's Jeff Session's Rod Rosenstein overtly furthered.[10]
More specifically, "Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein narrowed the scope of the FBI investigation into President Donald Trump's ties to Russia in 2017, The New York Times reported Sunday.
Rosenstein's move to protect the president from an investigation into his ties to Russia, particularly related to finances, came without explanation, per the report.
"We opened this case in May 2017 because we had information that indicated a national security threat might exist, specifically a counterintelligence threat involving the president and Russia," former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe told the Post.
"I expected that issue and issues related to it would be fully examined by the special counsel team. If a decision was made not to investigate those issues, I am surprised and disappointed. I was not aware of that."
The revelations came in a new book by CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, "True Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Investigation of Donald Trump."
"I love Ken Starr, but his investigation was a fishing expedition," Rosenstein told Special Counsel Robert Mueller, according to Toobin's book. "Don't do that. This is a criminal investigation. Do your job, and then shut it down."
If Mueller wanted to expand the investigation, per the report, he was to request Rosenstein do so. It ostensibly shut down a counterintelligence investigation of potential national security concerns with Trump's Russia ties.
"It was first and foremost a counterintelligence case," McCabe told the Times. "Could the president actually be the point of coordination between the campaign and the Russian government? Could the president actually be maintaining some sort of inappropriate relationship with our most significant adversary in the world?"
McCabe left the FBI believing Mueller's team was conducting the counterintelligence investigation, per the report.
Rosenstein did not tell McCabe of the limitations on the Mueller investigation, because he feared McCabe's "conflicts of interest," per the report. McCabe's wife Jill McCabe ran for office as a Democrat at the request of a Hillary Clinton ally, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Law & Crime reported.
Special prosecutors are generally appointed to conduct criminal investigations and not counterintelligence investigations. An FBI counterintelligence investigation into the sitting U.S. president might have been particularly problematic, particularly if it was being pushed by his political opposition working within the administration."[10]
AN INVESTIGATION BY CONGRESS FOUND THAT THE GOP'S AND TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THE GOP'S TRUMP'S FINANCIAL TIES TO RUSSIA, DURING THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE GOP'S TRUMP AND RUSSIA
An investigation by Congress revealed that Russia's GOP and Trump administrations refused to investigate the GOP'S Trump's financial ties to Russia, pressumedly as part of the GOP's and Trump's ongoing conspiracy to conceal they were not eligible to run for office before nor after the 2016 election due to a treason conspiracy with Russia linked to Trump receiving a percentage of the Rosneft sale, which by default means the 2016 elections that Trump and the GOP "stole" -- is a reasonable inference.[7][8][9][11]
More specifically, "National security risks associated with President Donald Trump's financial ties abroad do not appear to have been investigated by the FBI's counterintelligence division, the House Intelligence Committee said Wednesday in a newly released legal analysis, Politico reported.
The assessment was contained in a footnote as part of an attempt by chairman Adam Schiff to narrow the scope of a year-old subpoena to Deutsche Bank for records connected to the finances of Trump, his family members, and the Trump Organization.
The Intelligence Committee, along with the House Financial Services Committee, is probing Trump's banking relationships.
"Based on the committee's review, it does not appear that special counsel Mueller issued any grand jury subpoenas to obtain the president's financial records," Schiff wrote in his analysis. "The committee also has reason to believe, based on its oversight work, that the FBI Counterintelligence Division has not investigated counterintelligence risks arising from President Trump's foreign financial ties."
Schiff added, "The committee's investigation remains urgent and necessary, particularly in light of the apparent lack of any such inquiry by the Executive Branch."
The California Democrat decided to narrow his panel's subpoena following last month's Supreme Court's ruling that called for subpoenas connected to Trump's personal papers to be narrowly tailored.
"Although not required by the Supreme Court's opinion, the committee will voluntarily narrow its subpoena to those records that are absolutely necessary to satisfy the committee's investigative needs and to fulfill the committee's legitimate oversight and legislative objectives," Schiff said in a statement."[11]
THE SON (WILLIAM BARR) OF DONALD BARR -- WHO GROOMED JEFFREY EPSTEIN AT DALTON PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN, AS A PEDOPHILE FANTASY WRITER OF SPACE RELATIONS, WHICH FANTASIZED ABOUT THE GLOBAL ELITE BEING ABLE TO RAPE SEX TRAFFICKED CHILDREN IN REMOTE PARTS OF SPACE AWAY FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT IN CHILD-RAPING COLONIES -- MISCHARACTERIZED THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION'S FINDINGS IN A MANNER THAT GAVE AID, COMFORT, AND ADHERED TO RUSSIA, AND TO JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S TRUMP AND GOP, FINANCED BY JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S CRIME SYNDICATE, WILLIAM BARR FINDING "NO COLLUSION" OR CONSPIRACY BETWEEN THE GOP'S TRUMP AND CHILD TRAFFICKER PUTIN'S RUSSIA (BECAUSE TRUMP, THE GOP, AND/OR THEIR ORGANIZED CRIME SYNDICATE CORRUPTING PUBLIC OFFICES, INCLUDING UNDER COLOR OF LAW, LIMITED THE SCOPE OF WHO, WHAT, AND HOW FAR THINGS COULD BE INVESTIGATED TO DISCONNECTED THE EVIDENCE OF A TREASON AND ELECTIONS FRAUD CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY BETWEEN THEM ALL)
As reported by NPR, not only did William Barr, the son of pedophile fantasy writer and groomer of Jeffrey Epstein at Dalton children's school mischaracterize the findings of the Mueller Investigation, but he also concealed some of the findings.[12]
More specifically, "The Justice Department under Attorney General William Barr improperly withheld portions of an internal memo Barr cited in announcing that then-President Donald Trump had not obstructed justice in the Russia investigation, a federal appeals panel said Friday.
The department had argued that the 2019 memo represented private deliberations of its lawyers before any decision was formalized, and was thus exempt from disclosure. A federal judge previously disagreed, ordering the Justice Department to provide it to a government transparency group that had sued for it.
At issue in the case is a March 24, 2019, memorandum from the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel and another senior department official that was prepared for Barr to evaluate whether evidence in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation could support prosecution of the president for obstruction of justice.
Barr has said he looked to that opinion in concluding that Trump did not illegally obstruct the Russia probe, which was an investigation of whether his campaign had colluded with Russia to tip the 2016 election.
A year later, a federal judge sharply rebuked Barr's handling of Mueller's report, saying Barr had made "misleading public statements" to spin the investigation's findings in favor of Trump and had shown a "lack of candor."
Friday's appeals court decision said the internal Justice Department memo noted that "Mueller had declined to accuse President Trump of obstructing justice but also had declined to exonerate him." The internal memo said "the Report's failure to take a definitive position could be read to imply an accusation against President Trump" if released to the public, the court wrote.
The Justice Department turned over other documents to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington as part of the group's lawsuit, but declined to give it the memo. Government lawyers said they were entitled under public records law to withhold the memo because it reflected internal deliberations before any formal decision had been reached on what Mueller's evidence showed.
Sitting presidents are generally protected from criminal charges on grounds it would undermine their ability to perform the office's constitutional duties. The Justice Department, like Mueller, "took as a given that the Constitution would bar the prosecution of a sitting President," the appeals court wrote, which meant the decision that Trump wouldn't be charged had already been made and couldn't be shielded from public release.
Had Justice Department officials made clear to the court that the memo related to Barr's decision on making a public statement about the report, the appellate panel wrote, rulings in the case might have been different.
"Because the Department did not tie the memorandum to deliberations about the relevant decision, the Department failed to justify its reliance on the deliberative-process privilege," wrote the panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Appellate judges also noted that their ruling was "narrow," saying that it should not be interpreted to "call into question any of our precedents permitting agencies to withhold draft documents related to public messaging."
Attorneys for the Justice Department didn't immediately respond to an email message seeking comment. The department can appeal the ruling to the full appeals court."[12]
THE SON OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S GROOMER, BILL BARR, RETROACTIVELY CLAIMED HE "SECRETLY" INSTALLED A SPECIAL COUNSEL INTO THE ORIGINS OF THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION, BUT ON THE RECORD, THIS WAS CROSSFIRE HURRICANE, AND SO THE ORIGINS WERE KNOWN, AND SO BARR INSTALLED DURHAM AS THE "CATCH ALL" FOR THE "ORIGINS OF THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION", ONLY AFTER IT WAS BECOMING OBVIOUS TRUMP WOULD NOT WIN THE 2022 ELECTION, AND WHERE BARR AND DURHAM CORRUPTED THEIR PUBLIC OFFICES, WHEN EVIDENCE OF A NEED TO INVESTIGATE THE TRUMP FAMILY PER ITALIAN INTELLIGENCE WAS DISREGARDED, AND INSTEAD DURHAM TRIED HIS BEST TO CORRUPT AND DISCREDIT INVESTIGATIONS BY THE US GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD PROVE TRUMP, THE GOP, BARR, AND/OR OTHERS COMMITTED TREASON WITH RUSSIA, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER RUSSIA'S AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S TRUMP AND GOP BEGAN PLANNING AN INSURRECTION TO OVERTHROW THE UNITED STATES TO MAKE TRUMP THE KING OF THE UNITED STATES AND ABOVE THE LAW, PER DEVIN NUNES' AID KASH PATEL, WHO TRUMP TRIED TO LAST-MINUTE-INSTALL AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY AS PART OF THE CONSPIRACY PLOT TO OVERTHROW THE UNITED STATES IN AN ONGOING MANNER, OVERTLY FURTHERED SINCE AT LEAST APRIL 27, 2016 AT THE MAYFLOWER HOTEL
Dr. Marcy Wheeler's extensive and comprehensive Empty Wheel investigative reporting on John Durham's corruption is worth reading for every Trump prosecutor, because it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Jeffrey Epstein's and Russia's GOP's Donald Trump's William Barr's John Durham not only disregarded evidence and/or criminal referral(s) for the Trump family, including Don. Jr., but he separately went after those investigators and reports who could help collectively prove the Trump family's, GOP's, and Russia's crimes -- where Durham weaponized the government, broke protocol, lied, perjured himself, employed investigative and prosecution techniques that were well out of the norm, and/or while evading normal investigative prosecution techniques -- which of course in each instance overtly furthered and served the complex conspiracy Trump, the GOP, and Russia were part of, in a manner that gave aid, comfort, and adhered to America's #1 enemy, Russia -- in yet another spoke of the ongoing obstruction conspiracy meant to obstruct justice and conceal that Trump and the GOP made themselves immediately ineligible for office before and after the 2016 elections -- when coupled to the other reporting in our article herein -- is a reasonable inference.[7][13][14]
Our investigations into all of the same agree with Dr. Wheeler's analyses in almost every respect, with few exceptions, which we believe Dr. Wheeler and/or others would accept differently if she and/or they were to be exposed to other investigative research and reporting not many others have elucidated and/or have access to, and which we can't reveal, as they are in part the subject of ongoing criminal investigations by more than one investigator for the government, to preserve the integrity of their investigations.
In conclusion, the government and the public have a much better understanding as to why William Barr, John Durham, Donald Trump, the GOP, and/or others specified there was "no collusion" or no criminal conspiracy to commit treason and elections fraud with Russia, but not limited to the same -- because Trump, William Barr, John Durham, Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller, James Comey, Donald Trump, Devin Nunes, Kash Patel, their co-conspirators, their allies, their proxies, their financiers, Russia, Russians, and/or others "engineered" that false narrative, mischaracterized investigations, limited the scope of investigations, obstructed investigations, intimidated witnesses and investigators, retaliated against witnesses and investigators, and pre-emptively defamed and discredited witnesses and investigators as they came forward, and/or attempted to come forward -- is a reasonable inference.
