Aparently Congressman Renzi was railroaded by the Obama FBI. (Maybe POTUS can retweet the article or look into this)

The DOJ Inspector General Needs to Investigate the Crooked Prosecution of Renzi

Over 14 years later, former Congressman Rick Renzi is still fighting for his innocence. He was wrongly imprisoned during the Obama administration by prosecutors and FBI agents who are part of the deep swamp. They got him convicted of attempting to conduct a land trade while in Congress that would have allegedly benefited him — but he didn’t even propose the trade and the judge ruled the land trade was in the “public interest.”

Renzi served a 3-year prison term and was released, but he is not giving up on clearing his name. A few months ago, his attorneys filed a 190-page complaint with the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, detailing the evidence of DOJ corruption in his case. Rudy Giuliani, who is a former federal prosecutor, was briefed on the complaint and told Renzi he was surprised the crooked FBI agent involved was still on active duty.

The main corruption Renzi is alleging involves an FBI agent named Dan Odom who advised the prosecution’s key witness Philip Aries “on numerous occasions” that he would receive a monetary award for testifying at trial against Renzi. Using the offer of money, the FBI agent manipulated Aries into changing his story and saying that Renzi had proposed the land trade — even though Aries later admitted once Renzi was in prison that he (Aries) had proposed the trade.

Why Renzi?

Federal prosecutor Gary Restaino saw an opportunity to take down a powerful Republican. Restaino gives thousands of dollars in political contributions to Democrats like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano, and he enjoys writing liberal articles against English-only language initiatives and supporting other lefty issues. Renzi was in a swing district and was rumored to have plans to run against then-governor Napolitano, who Restaino’s wife worked for directly.
