Sally Moyer â Previously Unidentified Anti-Trump FBI Agent â Shown for First Time
Posted at 10:07 pm on June 22, 2018 by Alex Parker
Earlier this week, Mark Meadows, R-N.C., chairman of the Freedom Caucus, revealed the identity of two previously anonymous pro-Hillary FBI investigators referenced by Inspector General Michael Horowitzâs report on the Clinton email investigation (read more about its anticipation here). One of those â Sally Moyer â was pictured for the first time today, by the Daily Mail.
As indicated in the report, Moyerâs texts and instant messages â sent from the her FBI devices â âraised concerns about potential bias in the Clinton investigation.â
Contrary to an initial FBI statement explaining reasons for anonymity, Moyer does not work in âcounterintelligence.â Meadows previously informed Horowitz:
âThey donât work in counterintelligence. If thatâs the reason the FBI is giving, theyâre giving you false information, because they work for the general counsel.â
Much like Strzok and Page (learn more about Peter Strzok and whoâs in the FBI here), the still-unidentified âAgent 1â and âAgent 5 (Moyer),â were involved romantically. They have since married.
Sally was on the âfilter teamâ for the Clinton investigation, which determined whether information gathered by the FBI was âprivilegedâ or could be utilized in the probe.
She didnât seem too awfully objective â Moyer exclaimed âF*** Trumpâ in a text and said sheâd view any public service award from the President as an âinsult.â
FBI investigator Sally Moyer complained in another message, âfuck trump,â and told a colleague she would consider any presidential award for public service from Trump an âinsult.â âIâd refuse it,â she wrote.https://t.co/eQ4QVrCZXf

The scale to which Obamaâs team spied on his successor should be focus of âunmaskingâ
May 13, 2020
The presumptive Democratic candidate for president, Joe Biden, heads a list of more than a dozen Obama officials who spied on Donald Trumpâs ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Others senior officials include chief of staff Denis McDonough, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and UN Ambassador Samantha Power.
A list declassified Tuesday by Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grennel shows that Biden and others asked to have Flynnâs name âunmaskedâ in transcripts of US intelligence intercepts of foreign officials. The names of US persons or entities incidentally collected by such intercepts are minimized to protect the privacy rights of Americans. Unmasking identities is not in itself illegal, nor even necessarily improper. Occasionally US policymakers will ask to unmask a US person to better understand the nature of the intelligence before them. Obama officials, however, gorged themselves like children at a candy store.

Jack Lew
Jacob Joseph "Jack" Lew (born August 29, 1955) is an American attorney and politician who served as the 76th United States Secretary of the Treasury from 2013 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he also served as the 25th White House Chief of Staff from 2012 to 2013 and Director of the Office of Management and Budget in both the Clinton Administration and Obama Administration.
Born in New York City, Lew earned his A.B. from Harvard College, then a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center. He began his legal career as a legislative assistant to Representative Joe Moakley, and as a senior policy adviser to former House Speaker Tip O'Neill. Lew then worked as an attorney in private practice before joining Boston's office of management and budget as a deputy. In 1993, he began work for the Clinton Administration as Special Assistant to the President. In 1994, Lew served as Associate Director for Legislative Affairs and Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget, then served as the agency's Director, from 1998 to 2001, then, again, from 2010 to 2012. Following his work in the Clinton administration, Lew became executive vice-president of operations at New York University, serving from 2001 to 2006, then the COO at Citigroup, from 2006 to 2008. During 2009 to 2010, Lew served as the first Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources.
On January 10, 2013, during President Barack Obama's second term, Lew was nominated to replace retiring Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner,[1] was confirmed by the Senate February 27, 2013, and then sworn in on the following day, serving until the conclusion of the Obama administration, and resigning with the inauguration of Donald Trump. Lew was replaced, on an interim basis, by Adam Szubin, before being officially succeeded as Secretary of the Treasury by Steve Mnuchin.

Looks like Jack is/was a spook.
Follow up. He has a daughter.
Shoshana Lew
Shoshana M. Lew (born 1983) is a career government administrator currently serving as the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Transportation. She is the daughter of former United States Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew.
The Colorado Senate confirmed Lew's appointment to the position of Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) on February 5, 2019.[3]
Prior to heading the Colorado Department of Transportation, Lew worked from April 2017 to January 2019 as the Chief Operating Officer of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation.[4]
Before her appointment to Rhode Island's Department of Transportation, Lew worked for eight years in the Obama Administration. The federal government positions she held were Chief Financial Officer, U.S. Department of Transportation, Assistant Secretary for Budget and Programs, U.S. Department of Transportation, Senior Adviser, U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and Policy Adviser, White House Domestic Policy Council.[5]
Lew's first position after she completed her graduate degree was at the Brookings Institution, where she served as Policy Analyst and Research and Policy Assistant in the organization's Metropolitan Policy Program from 2007-2009.[6]
In Colorado, Lew has been criticized for focusing too much on non-highway transportation projects such as bike lanes, large buses, walking paths, light rail, and electric vehicles, with insufficient emphasis placed on roads and highways. Some have questioned Lew's qualifications for the position, for she was hired for the job at age 35 with no experience in construction management or engineering. Indeed, one report states that Colorado Governor Jared Polis appointed Lew to head the Colorado Department of Transportation as a personal favor to Michelle Obama.[8][9] Under Lew's leadership, CDOT has been criticized for adding only expensive toll lanes in highway-widening projects. These so-called Lexus lanes are paid for with tax dollars but only benefit the wealthy who can afford the tolls. One analysis says that "Lew's plan is to make driving in Colorado so painful that many average Coloradoans will abandon their cars in favor of a public transit alternative."[10]

Sounds spooky to me.
Well my point is, she has held some pretty high power positions for being just 35 and very little experience. Sounds like somebody has friends in high places.
He should have just revved the engine and plowed through them. Sounds harsh but look at what happened because he didn't.
This standard is elaborated upon in section 1.4 of the amended order, which specifies the types of information that may be considered for classification. The information categories identified as proper bases for classification in the amended Executive Order 12,958 consist of: foreign government information; (105) vulnerabilities or capabilities of systems, installations, proj-ects, or plans relating to national security; (106) intelligence activities, sources or methods, (107) or cryptology; (108) foreign relations or foreign activities, including confidential sources; (109) military plans, weapons, or operations; (110) scientific, technological, or economic matters relating to national security; (111) and government programs for safeguarding nuclear materials and facilities. (112) The amendment of Executive Order 12,958 added a new classification category protecting information concerning "weapons of mass destruction," (113) and it further expanded two previously existing categories to include information regarding "defense against transnational terrorism."

IG Report: FBI Lawyer #1 Tashina Gauhar and The Huma/Weiner Laptop IssuesâŚ
Posted on June 15, 2018
One of the information issues with the IG report is that itâs written entirely from an insiderâs perspective. Therefore without an understanding of how divisions within Main Justice related to the discussed activity within FBI main DC offices it can be very confusing to understand.
The âinsider narrationâ makes it difficult to see what happened with the Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner laptop; and how the Clinton emails were discovered. However, because the issue is so important the IG report spends three chapters on this time-frame between September 28th and October 29th, 2016; and ultimately the next day, Oct. 30th, when a search warrant was executed for the laptop content.
IG Horowitz takes this aspect of the investigation into granularity and nuance (Chapters 8, 9 and 10).
At the heart of the activity during this critical period is FBI lawyer #1 Tashina âTashâ Gauhar who was on a video conference call with the FBI New York Field Office (NYFO) as the discoveries of hundreds of thousands of Clinton emails were relayed internally to the Mid-Year-Event (MYE) team in DC on September 29th, 2016.
Almost a full month went by until October 27th, 2016, when the MYE team all gathered with James Comey to talk about the laptop issues and the emails. Within the IG review of this period, there is a bunch of ass-covering documentation that takes place in hindsight to the events. The IG is careful to point out each time his investigation is presented with documentary evidence that was clearly written long-after the events being questioned.
The central IG question is: why didnât the FBI take immediate action to review 725,000 Clinton-centric emails on the Huma/Weiner laptop? Why did they wait a month before seeking a search warrant? Why were they doing nothing?
With these three basic questions Horowitz enters a matrix of FBI excuses, obtuse claims, he-said/she-said, and ultimately a bunch of statements by the MYE team that simply didnât make a lick of sense. Or put more diplomatically in IG language: âwe found most of the explanations offered for this delay to be unconvincing.â (pg. 324)

Briefly Noted: Eric Ciaramella, Tashina Gauhar, Dana Boente
Sunday, November 3, 2019
A few brief, but nevertheless important, stories today.
First, Larry Johnson makes a compelling case that, given Eric Ciaramella's known contacts, it's highly probably that Ciaramella was part of the John Brennan's "Task Force" that ultimately produced the Intelligence Assessment that was so instrumental in launching Team Mueller and maintaining the Big Lie of the Russia Hoax: Growing Indicators of Brennan's CIA Trump Task Force. Peter Strzok, of course, was the FBI rep on that Task Force and did further duty running back and forth, to and fro, and amongst and between Brennan, Comey, and Clapper. That Task Force is also a central focus of the Barr/Durham investigationâas it should be. Presume that Durham has had his eye on Ciaramella for some time now.
Next, CTH relays rumors of a possibly significant personnel move at DoJ: Tashina Gauhar is said to have left. Gauhar worked on FISA applications during all relevant periods of the Russia Hoax. And what's especially significant about her move is the timing:
Rumor in the DC grapevine is that a few weeks ago Tashina Guahar [sic] was quietly removed from her position as lawyer for the DOJ National Security Division (in charge of FISA applications). This removal happened immediately after IG Michael Horowitz submitted his first draft report to Attorney General Bill Barr for classification review. Ms. Gauhar now reportedly works for Boeing.
If confirmed, Guaharâs [sic] exit in advance of the IG report could indicate helpful participation, or DOJ Main Justice may be providing cover to protect Tash Guahar [sic] as they did with SSCI Security Director James Wolfe.
Sundance is absolutely correct that the timing of Gauhar's departure most likely indicates that she has been kept on while cooperating with internal investigations related to her duties. Which is to say, the Russia Hoax, especially from the FISA standpoint. Gauhar would have had contact with anybody who touched a FISA application at DoJ, and with many at the FBI.
Bearing in mind that another DoJ/FBI attorney who worked in that field, Trisha Anderson, testified that the Carter Page FISA was pretty much pushed through over the heads of everyone else by Andy McCabe and Sally Yates, it's interesting to go over a list of people we know that Gauhar would have interacted with on a regular basis and concerning whom she would have been questioned:
Sally Yates, David Laufman, John Carlin, Trisha Anderson, James Baker, Andy McCabe, Bill Priestap, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page.
We also know that Gauhar was among the DoJ attorneys who persuaded Jeff Sessions to recuse himself, so we can add two more names to that list:
Rod Rosenstein and Dana Boente.
Dana Boente, of course, is the top in house counsel at the FBI for Chris Wray, but before he did that he was at DoJ as Acting AG and Acting DAG. He also signed off on a renewal of the Carter Page FISA. No doubt Boente has also had long, interesting conversations with DoJ investigators.
You can imagine that both OIG and the Durham team have been very busy.
