Crime Pays?
Justice Department officials Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page each had a role in feeding the false Russia Hoax aimed at handicapping Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Attorney General Sessions fired Deputy Director McCabe before McCabe could retire. The DOJ Inspector General and the FBI's disciplinary office had said that McCabe had improperly authorized releases of information to The Wall Street Journal about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and had misled agents who questioned him about it on four occasions, three of which were under oath.
Strzok played a senior role on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team until he was removed after an internal investigation revealed his texts with Page exhibited political bias. Page, who had also briefly served on Mueller’s team, resigned from her role as a lawyer for the FBI after the messages were discovered.
Oh yeah, the texts also revealed that Strzok and Page had an extramarital relationship.
In addition to the Russia Hoax, Strzok aided in Hillary Clinton not facing prosecution for her multiple violations of the law in storing top-secret information on her private email server. (You may remember, the same laws Donald Trump was prosecuted for.)
In 2021, the Biden / Harris Justice Department’s restored Democrat McCabe’s retirement benefits, which he lost when he was fired. (If he were a Republican doing the same thing, does anyone doubt he would be in jail?)
Now, the Biden / Harris Justice Department settled a lawsuit filed by Democrats Strozak and Page about supposed privacy violations that publicized their anti-Trump messages on government phones in the early phases in the get-Trump “Russian interference” probe.
Those Democrat Deep Staters running the Justice Department share McCabe’s, Strozak’s and Page’s Democrat politics, so they took care of their fellow travelers.
Strozak and Page will get $2 million if the settlement is approved by a judge.
Strzok, who was ultimately fired from the FBI, hasn’t settled the portion of his lawsuit in which he sued for backpay and his job back.
Your tax dollars at work under Biden / Harris.
ATF Efficiency?
Congressional laws prohibit the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) from creating searchable digital records. One reason being that 2nd Amendment defenders fear that the ATF could create a database of firearm owners and that it could eventually lead to confiscation.
ABC News reports that, typically, the bureau takes around eight days to track a weapon and urgent traces average 24 hours.
The attempted Trump assassin, Thomas Crooks, was not carrying any ID when he was shot by Secret Service snipers but the FBI had his rifle.
Again, ABC News reported: “Within 30 minutes of the shooting at Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally on Saturday, federal law enforcement used a byzantine paper records system to track down decade-old gun sales records to help identify the 20-year-old would-be assassin...Agents tracked the AR-15 style rifle the shooter used to a 2013 purchase from the now-closed dealer, sources familiar with investigators' findings told CNN.”
The ATF stated: "ATF completed an urgent trace through ATF's National Tracing Center based on out of business records from a closed gun dealer…Results were provided to the FBI and Secret Service in less than 30 minutes."
There are two possibilities.
ATF is super efficient when it wants to be. After all, it only had to:
Contact the manufacturer of the rifle ON A SATURDAY to get the distributor the gun was sold to. Then,
Contact the distributor of the rifle ON A SATURDAY to get the dealer the gun was sold to. Then,
Discover that the dealer was out of business and BATFE had the dealer’s records. Then,
Have an employee manually go through all those records looking for the rifle and then pull the purchaser’s information.
Or
There exists a secret, illegal searchable digital record.
