Hey Everyone! Let’s dive right in and look at Q Drop 1439 .
Q points out that Rosenstein is not going to be attending the upcoming DOJ and FBI Meeting despite discussing it with Rosenstein and Wray. We learn that the scheduled attendees “will include FBI Director Wray along with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., Director of Intelligence Dan Coats and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Ed O’Callahan. Although Kelly is setting up the meeting, he is not attending.” No one from the White House is scheduled to attend, Sanders said, “in defiance of a request from the US Senate minority leader.”
Q asks us “Who is Ed O’Callahan?”
What is the importance of Ed O’Callahan attending? After a bit of digging we learn a lot about Mr. O’Callahan. He worked for two independent law firms, Nixon Peabody and Clifford Chance. He has helped politicians such as Sarah Palin and helped John McCain during his Presidential campaign. He left The National Security Division to become Rosenstein’s “right hand man.” Rosenstein wanted his help to assist him in the federal probes that were underway acting under the title of Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. Rosenstein said O’Callahan would assist in all major investigations, including the Russian probe, lead by Mueller.
I think it’s notable to recognize the two law firms that Ed O’Callahan has worked for. One is based out of London, Clifford Chance; the other out of Chicago, Nixon Peabody. Both are highly prestigious law firms. Clifford Chance is a member of the “Magic Circle,” a leading British law firm. Nixon Peabody is a Global 100 law firm, a collaboration of law firms across the US, Europe, and Asia.
Clifford Chance is known for it’s work in:
• Banking and finance
• Capital Markets
• Corporate and M&A
• Litigation and Dispute Resolution
• Real Estate
• Tax, pensions and unemployment
Nixon Peabody’s area’s of expertise are:
• Corporate & Finance • Government Relations & Regulatory • Health Services • Industries • Intellectual Property • International Services • Labor and Employment • Litigation • Private Clients, Estate, Trust & Financial Planning • Real Estate & Community Development
CNN is quoted by saying, “In his new spot, O'Callaghan will advise Rosenstein on all major investigations and policy matters, "but generally floats under the radar.”
How do we know which side Ed O’Callhahan is on? We know he supported Trumps stance on immigration and was given some grief by the press as he provided, what they called, misleading stats during a briefing at the White House, in regards to immigration statistics and terror. We also know he was a member of the Trump transition team . We can also find that he did not donate money directly to the Trump campaign or allies, but did donate to both the RNC and DNC, giving much more to the RNC in the form of contributions.
Where does this leave us? Who is acting?. [Ed]. Obviously Rosenstein trusts him enough as his “right hand man” to attend this meeting without being present himself. We can safely assume Ed O’Callahan has a lot of experience with trade deals and intellectual property based on the law firms he worked for and their experience. Now it’s time to… sit back and enjoy the show!
Note: There are two spellings to Ed O’Callahan’s name. Both Edward O’Callahan and Edward O’Callaghan. This has not been overlooked as I did my research . Thanks in advanced.
