I highly recommend anons read this. Page 50-60 Ms. Kim (Cummings stand in) had what appears to be a heated exchange with William Sweeney. He appears to be /ourguy/ based upon the way he speaks. Especially when he refers to a letter that he knew would leak out of congress. Keks
There is a lot in here that will help you understand more of the background into the wiener laptop and generally fuckery round about. I don’t have everything that i found notable in this post, some of it spammed several pages covering a pretty broad range.
Read it and decide for yourself.
pg 8
Q During your tenure in the New York field office, as the Assistant or have in possession of the New York field office a laptop that was somehow associated to an Anthony Weiner?
A Yes.
Q And what was the nature of your investigation of the laptop initially?
A The nature of the investigation initially was crimes against children investigation, run off the violent crime branch, that involved Anthony Weiner.
pg 38
Q Were you aware of complaints within your office about the fact that a search was not conducted?
A No. The first – the first time I think I become aware of an issue is when we were doing document production for the IG, and there's an email from the case agent to himself describing a conversation he had with an AUSA, and his concern that things weren't moving quickly enough and people were sitting on it.
Q Can I just interrupt you? Is this a copy of that email?
A Yes. Yeah, I believe it is. So I think I become aware of this during the document production to the IG, and
we actually report this to our Inspection Division because I'm concerned that somebody is telling him to keep his mouth – I'm concerned that somebody from the U.S.attorney's office is telling him not to report this. So I'm essentially now reporting an AUSA for trying to stymie this guy.
>WHO WAS THE AUSA FROM NY TELLING THIS CHILD CRIMES CASE AGENT TO SHUT HIS MOUTH?
Q But you are concerned with that end of it, not with him actually wanting to whistleblow?
A No, I had no idea he wanted to whistleblow at the time.
pg 72 & 73
Q Have you ever personally worked on a matter where you felt that the Justice Department was not acting as an honest broker or following the facts where they led?
A No. I wouldn't want to get into prosecutorial decisions, but no. I think the answer is no.
Q I just want to elaborate. So have there been instances where you disagreed with prosecutorial decisions?
A I think I can – yeah.
Q Have you ever felt that those disagreements were based on anything but kind of legitimate strategic differences?
A Potentially.
Q Can you describe what other aspects those decisions would've been based on?
A Personal – I think personal differences of opinion with agents working a matter. I think that's about it.
Q So you have witnessed instances where you felt Justice Department lawyers were acting in bad faith out of a disagreement with FBI investigators?
A I don't know if I would describe it as "bad faith." I don't

know the definition of "bad faith." There were other reasons. There's clearly other reasons a prosecutor –
I was concerned – could be concerned that a personal beef get in the way of a decision.
Q Can I ask you about a specific – what specifically you're thinking about right now?
A I think it would be an ongoing – could be an ongoing matter.
Q So there's an ongoing matter where you feel that the Justice Department was not acting as an honest broker or following the facts where they lead?
A I'd have to think about it, but potentially. I think it's been resolved. But I don't know if I want to get into it too much if it's an ongoing matter.
