DOJ Prevented FBI From Pursuing Gross Negligence Charges Against Clinton

Early in the Hillary Clinton email case, the Department of Justice reached a decision that would have far-reaching implications in the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server.

The Justice Department (DOJ), under then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, decided to set an unusually high threshold for prosecution of Clinton, effectively ensuring from the outset that she would not be charged.

In order for Clinton to be prosecuted, the DOJ required the FBI to establish evidence of intent—even though the gross negligence statute explicitly does not require this.

This meant that the FBI would have needed to find a smoking gun, such as an email or an admission made during FBI questioning, revealing Clinton or her aides knowingly set up the private email server to send classified information.

Hillary Clinton was famously exonerated by FBI Director James Comey in a July 5, 2016, press conference, which immediately became the subject of controversy.

Notably, Comey had been convinced to remove the term “gross negligence” to describe Clinton’s actions from his prepared statement by, among others, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, FBI agent Peter Strzok, senior legal counsel Trisha Anderson, and FBI analyst Jonathan Moffa.

Because of Comey’s statement, many have mistakenly concluded that the FBI acted independently from DOJ influence in their investigation of Clinton. Congressional testimonies by high ranking FBI officials involved in the investigation reveal, however, that this was not the case.

The testimonies, which were conducted last year behind closed-doors, have not been publicly released, but were reviewed for this article.

Church Pedophiles & Child Sex Trafficking Nests Intersect by The Thousands

Do not turn a blind eye. Pedophilia goes far beyond the walls of the church, and spreads much like the plague, infesting local communities and infiltrating daycares, schools, and foster care, while many remain protected by local community leaders and officials. Child sex trafficking and church pedophiles are rampant, and the lists being disseminated by churches across the country, pointing to pedophile priests and clergy, most of which have long been deceased, is a swift way to clean their hands of it, with false transparency. What they don’t want people to know, is just how far this truly reaches, and the fact that teachers, attorneys, police officers, sheriffs, politicians, and even judges are in their “pedophile family,” making sure their secrets are safe, rather than the victims.

This is dark subject matter that is crucial for all to read in its entirety, in order to understand the true scope of what is happening to children across this country. Do not turn a blind eye – people must combat this for the children. This report will illustrate just how deep these nests go, the profoundly disturbing connections, detail of specific cases with numerous additional case links, show how communities are infiltrated, and what to pay very close attention to in one’s surroundings. Many churches are involved, not just the Catholic Church, who has the third highest total number of local congregations in the US, with 17,651 parishes. That said, it is important to touch on the Vatican in this report, due to significant statements and lack of action that has taken place.

The lists are trickling out, but are people seeing the bigger picture and just how widespread this is? Do people understand they have the power to stop this?

Let’s put this in perspective. In 2018 the Pennsylvania diocese released their list of 301 predator priests who sexually abused over 1,000 child victims. Since that report was released, investigations ensued into clergy in 14 states by attorneys general. New Jersey released a list of more than 180 priests. The Houston Chronicle uncovered 20 years of abuse by the Southern Baptist Convention, resulting in 700 victims, while those leaders who knew, did nothing. The Louisville KY diocese identified 48 priests. Bishops covered up the abuse by 118 Catholic clergy in Buffalo. In the California Bay Area, the list of priest sex offenders is currently at 212. Two Roman Catholic Jesuit provinces that cover nearly half the US, recently released a list of 153 priests and ministry leaders of sexual abuse that dates back to the 1950s. In a 2010 report by three advocacy groups, nearly 60% of Chicago’s Roman Catholic parishes have had a priest publicly accused of sexually abusing a child. In 2018, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan revealed there were nearly 700 clergymen in Illinois that have been accused of child sexual assault. In 2017, six families with nine children filed a lawsuit against LDS – The Corporation of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, alleging that LDS leaders knew one of their members was abusing children for years, and they covered it up. Is this nightmare beginning to sink in yet? This is a mere sampling. Continue reading. Hundreds of lists have been released across 28 states thus far, and we haven’t even touched on the child trafficking aspect in connection with churches. There needs to be an interactive map created, with pins in every church denomination across the country. The clickable pin would reveal names, dates, and charges of all clergy who have been involved in sexually abusing children, as well as those who covered it up. This is a great idea for someone who wants to develop this app. Italy and Poland have created maps worth looking at, to see just how widespread this issue is. A brilliant interactive map of L.A.’s pedophile priests was created back in 2012 by Socal Connect. This is the type of map that needs to be created across the entire country, by state.

Michael Cohen Tried To Make Millions By Putting A US Nuclear Plant Partly In Hands Of Qatar

Michael Cohen, the president’s disgraced former lawyer, took $200,000 to attempt to close a deal with a Qatari official to invest in an Alabama nuclear facility, according to the man who hired him.

The Qatar money never materialized after Cohen’s legal troubles.

Qatar is linked to Iran, whose nuclear program the United States has worked to curtail.

Michael Cohen, the disgraced former lawyer to President Donald Trump, took hundreds of thousands of dollars to push a deal that would have resulted in a U.S. nuclear facility being owned partly by Qatar.

And U.S. taxpayers would have wound up footing the bill for the facility, while the investors stood to profit. Qatar is a Middle Eastern nation with ties to Iran, a hostile power whose nuclear activities the United States has tried to keep in check.

At issue is the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant in Alabama, near Memphis. The federal Tennessee Valley Authority spent $5 billion on the facility over 40 years, but it never opened — partly because there wasn’t much demand for the power.

Franklin Haney, a wealthy Tennessee businessman who has made his fortune in part through government contracts, hired Cohen to cement a potential investment from Qatar. Haney wanted to use interest in the project as leverage to try to secure a $5 billion loan from the federal Department of Energy to get the nuclear plant online.

Haney paid Cohen $200,000. But until his contract was terminated because of his legal issues, he stood to earn $5 million, according to a Feb. 19 article by the Institute for Public Service Reporting at the University of Memphis in which Haney spoke candidly and at length about the arrangement for the first time.

Other Gulf states have severed ties with Qatar, saying it supports terrorism and has close ties with Iran. Qatar has investments in Iran and has been increasingly trading with the country. British and Israeli intelligence met over concerns that Iran is trying to breach a 2015 deal limiting its nuclear activity and possibly trying to develop nuclear weapons, Israeli media reported Feb. 22.

Conservatives criticized former President Barack Obama for giving Iran billions of dollars in relief in exchange for promises to curb its nuclear program.

Mexico to Help “El Chapo” Family Seek US Humanitarian Visas

MEXICO CITY—Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Friday that he has instructed his government to assist the family of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman in seeking humanitarian visas to visit the convicted drug trafficker in the United States.

During a visit last week to Guzman’s hometown of Badiraguato in Sinaloa state, a lawyer passed Lopez Obrador a letter from Guzman’s mother.

“Like any mother asking me for support for her son,” Lopez Obrador said.

Later in the afternoon, the president published via Twitter Consuelo Loera’s letter in which she asks for his help in obtaining humanitarian visas for herself and two of her daughters.

Steve Scalise: Democrats Applaud ‘Murder’ of a ‘Baby Born Alive’

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) described Democrats’ support for lawful and limitless access to abortion as an endorsement of the “murder” of babies in a Monday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.

Scalise examined Democrats’ opposition to all proposed temporal restrictions on abortion.

“This is something that I think Americans across the board, no matter where you stand on the issue of abortion, people recognize that if a baby is born alive, if a baby literally survives an abortion [and] is born alive, they can still in many states kill the baby,” said Scalise.

Scalise recalled Democrats’ applause in the New York State Legislature following passage of the Empire State’s latest abortion legislation. He also noted Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-NY) support for the new law.

“You heard this,” began Scalise. “The governor in New York was bragging, they were applauding when he signed this disgraceful law. It’s barbaric, but it’s murder, where literally if the baby is born alive they can still murder the baby, and in New York it’s legal.”

Scalise then recalled Gov. Ralph Northam’s (D-VA) support for lawful access to infanticide in the event of an unborn child surviving an abortion.

“And of course in Virginia you saw the governor, he was talking about how you can do it. Talk about a barbaric conversation, he was on the radio show talking about how you can, while the baby is born and the parents can go and have a conversation about how they can then go and then kill the baby.”

Scalise continued, “This is disgusting, and yet in America, there are some states where it’s legal. So Ann Wagner from Missouri has a bill that will ban that practice. It would actually give legal protection to any baby that is born alive.”

Scalise and Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO) co-sponsored re-introduction of the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which Wagner’s office describes as seeking to “ensure [that] any infant born alive after an abortion receives the same protection of law as any newborn: mandating care and instituting penalties for doctors who allow such infants to die or who intentionally kill a newborn.”

Scalise went on, “I was shocked, and I literally had to go back to my staff and say, ‘Wait, explain to me how it’s legal to kill a baby, a person who’s born legally.’ And yet it is in probably 24 states. Even people who are pro-choice, most of them believe that the baby — if it’s born alive — should be protected under law.”

“It’s not only barbaric, it’s murder,” determined Scalise. “If the baby is born alive, it’s murder and it should be murder. We’re going to vote to give it that protection. I talked to President Trump about this over the weekend. The president is strongly supportive of what we’re trying to do to protect life.”

Scalise examined the Trump administration’s new restrictions on federal funds being granted to abortion-providers such as Planned Parenthood under the guise of “family planning.”

Look at what President Trump has done to protect life,” stated Scalise. “Just Friday, he released [a] new ruling — it didn’t get any real national attention — but he started the process now of banning any Title X funding — federal dollars — from going to Planned Parenthood or any other organization that provides abortion. this is a major deal. it got very little attention. They just issued the ruling. They’ve been working on it for months because they know they’re going to get sued in the courts. They wanted to make sure that everything was done exactly the right way. … that money will no longer go to [Planned Parenthood].”

Scalise concluded, “When you see innocent life being taken after the baby is born, and Democrats are defending that practice, my God, where has their party gone? This is not the Democrat Party of ten or twenty years ago, even. This is how far left they’re moving towards socialism. It’s real.”
