"Comey Has No Issue With It": Judicial Watch Dumps Explosive New FBI Emails From McCabe's Conflict R

"Comey Has No Issue With It": Judicial Watch Dumps Explosive New FBI Emails From McCabe's Conflict Review

Source: ZeroHedge

"  Judicial Watch  has just dumped a new treasure trove of FBI emails regarding Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's conflict check relative to the Clinton email investigation (for those who missed it, we reviewed all of McCabe's many scandals here: "FBI Director McCabe Subject Of Three Separate Federal Inquiries Into Alleged Misconduct: Report").   Ironically, this particular FOIA request was filed in October 2016 under the Obama administration but they apparently just "didn't have time" to get to it.

Judicial Watch today released  79 pages  of Justice Department documents concerning ethics issues related to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s involvement with his wife’s political campaign.  The documents include an email showing  Mrs. McCabe was recruited for a Virginia state senate race in  February 2015  by then-Virginia Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam’s office.

 The news that Clinton used a private email server broke  five days later, on March 2, 2015. Five days after that, former Clinton Foundation  board member  and Democrat party fundraiser, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, met with the McCabes. She announced her candidacy on March 12. Soon afterward, Clinton/McAuliffe-aligned political groups donated nearly $700,000 (40% of the campaign’s total funds) to McCabe’s wife for her campaign.

 Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a July 24, 2017, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond to an October 24, 2016, FOIA request

Among other things, the new FOIA dump reveals a panicked FBI's efforts to enlist the support of an army of lawyers and public relations personnel to deal with the original Wall Street Journal article (see: "Clinton Ally Aided Campaign of FBI Official’s Wife") that first revealed McCabe's ties to the Clintons and his simultaneous oversight of the Clinton email investigation. 

But perhaps none of the newly revealed emails from Judicial Watch today are more important than the following one in which  McCabe describes how FBI Director Comey was breifed on his ties to the Clintons just days before his wife announced her Senate bid  (and subsequently received roughly $700,000 in political donations for Clinton-friendly PACs) and then confirmed that he  "has no issue with it."  ..."

She Said A Powerful Congressman (Conyers) Harassed Her. Here's Why You Didn't Hear Her Story.

She Said A Powerful Congressman Harassed Her. Here’s Why You Didn’t Hear Her Story.

"Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News  include four signed  affidavits, three of which are notarized,  from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sex acts, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic. ...."

"Last week  the Washington Post reported  that Congress’s Office of Compliance paid out $17 million for 264 settlements with federal employees over 20 years for various violations, including sexual harassment. The Conyers documents, however, give a glimpse into the inner workings of the office, which has for decades concealed episodes of sexual abuse by powerful political figures.

"I was basically blackballed. There was nowhere I could go."

The woman who settled with Conyers launched the complaint with the Office of Compliance in 2014, alleging she was fired for refusing his sexual advances, and ended up facing a daunting process that ended with a confidentiality agreement in exchange for a settlement of more than $27,000. Her settlement, however, came from Conyers’ office budget rather than the designated fund for settlements. ..."

Bill Clinton Faces Sexual Assault Accusations From Four More Women

Bill Clinton Faces Sexual Assault Accusations From Four More Women

"Contacted for a comment on the women's allegations, a member of Clinton's legal team said: 'Obviously, I'm aware of [the allegations] but can't talk about them.'

The list of women whom Clinton has allegedly assaulted includes not only Jones, but also Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and others. Clinton also famously had an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern.

'Bill is distraught at the thought of having to testify and defend himself against sex charges again,'  said a Democratic Party official who is familiar with the case.

 'He hopes his legal team can somehow stop the women from filing charges and drag him through the mud.'

The source added that  Hillary Clinton is furious with her husband for getting entangled in yet another sexual scandal.  ...."

ON BLUE SLIPS, GRASSLEY PULLS THE TRIGGER

"Yesterday was a bad day for Al Franken. In the morning Leeann Tweeden posted the photograph of the sexual assault committed by Franken on her along with the compelling first-person account of her mistreatment by Franken. That was a shot heard round the world. Then in the afternoon Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley announced that he would not let Franken’s withheld blue slip block the nomination of Minnesota Supreme Court Justice David Stras to the Eighth Circuit or let Senator Kennedy’s withheld blue slip block the nomination of Kyle Duncan to the Fifth Circuit. ...."
