Ellen Ratner subpoena saga, Rich v Butowsky et al  August 4, 2020, Seth Rich Assange witness, Motion for time to effect service, Why are Assange & Ratner kept away?

Mueller, as a matter of determined policy, omitted key steps which any honest investigator would undertake. He did not commission any forensic examination of the DNC servers. He did not interview Bill Binney. He did not interview Julian Assange. His failure to do any of those obvious things renders his report worthless.”…Craig Murray

“The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those
records in bad faith.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger October 11, 2019

“Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a “reasonable” search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger March 29, 2020

 

From Citizen Wells August 5, 2020.

“Ellen Ratner
Six unsuccessful attempts to serve Ellen Ratner at addresses in California and New York have been made and Defendants have performed several “skip trace” searches attempting to locate Ms. Ratner.”

“Ms. Ratner remains unserved. Defendants have instructed their process server to continue attempting to locate and serve the correct Ellen Ratner. Quainton Decl. Ex. 13. However, counsel for Defendants respectfully requests that permission be given for alternative means of service, such as through social media, since it appears unlikely service will be successful on Ms. Ratner

FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy investigated for sexual misconduct? Retired?, OIG report July 10, 2020, Seth Rich FOIA records delayed, 302s slow walked

Posted on July 26, 2020 | 11 comments

FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy investigated for sexual misconduct? Retired?, OIG report July 10, 2020, Seth Rich FOIA records delayed, 302s slow walked

“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its
constitutional, ethical and legal obligations to this Court and to the defense, and to hide evidence that it knows exonerates Mr. Flynn. As is the essence of the problem here, instead of protecting its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives.”…Attorney Sidney Powell October

“Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a “reasonable” search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger March 29, 2020

“I repeatedly asked U.S. Attorney John Durham and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to investigate whether Mr. Hardy lied under oath, and in an April 22, 2020 letter Mr. Horowitz wrote that he referred my complaint to the FBI’s Inspection Division. Was Mr. Hardy forced out?”…Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020

 

Was former FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy blackmailed or otherwise distracted by a workplace love interest?

David M. Hardy was the FBI Section Chief responsible for addressing FOIA requests.

He has been replaced.

From the FBI March 19, 2020.

DECLARATION OF MICHAEL G. SEIDEL
I, Michael G. Seidel, declare as follows:
(1) I am the Assistant Section Chief of the Record/Information Dissemination Section (RIDS), Information Management Division (IMD), in Winchester, Virginia and, in the absence of RIDS Section Chief, David M. Hardy, I serve as Acting Section Chief for RIDS. I have held this position since June 26, 2016. Ijoined the FBI in September 2011, and prior to my current position, I was the Unit Chief, RIDS Litigation Support Unit from November 2012 to June 2016;
and an Assistant General Counsel, FBI Office of General Counsel, Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) Litigation Unit, from September 2011 to November 2012. In those capacities, I had management oversight or agency counsel responsibility for FBI FOIA and Privacy Act (“PA”) litigation cases nationwide. Prior to my joining the FBI, I served as a Senior Attorney, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) from September 2006 to September 2011, where among myriad legal responsibilities, I advised on FOIA/PA matters and served as agency counsel representing the DEA in FOIA/PA suits nationwide. I also served as a U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps Officer in various assignments from 1994 to September 2006 culminating in my assignment as Chief, General Litigation Branch, U.S. Army Litigation Division where I oversaw FOIA/PA litigation for the U.S. Army. I am an attorney registered in the State of Ohio and the District of Columbia.”

From the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) July 10, 2020.  

“INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY
Findings of Misconduct by a then Federal Bureau of Investigation Unit Chief for
Engaging in an Improper, Intimate Relationship with a Subordinate and Related Misconduct

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated an investigation upon receipt of information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Inspection Division, alleging that a then FBI Unit Chief (UC) was engaged in an improper, intimate relationship with a subordinate, was directly involved in the subordinate’s promotion, and had favored the
subordinate for temporary duty (TDY) opportunities.

The OIG investigation substantiated the allegation that the then FBI UC was engaged in an ongoing intimate relationship with the subordinate and had failed to disclose that relationship in violation of FBI policy. The OIG investigation also found that the then FBI UC had been directly involved in the subordinate’s promotion while the relationship was ongoing and had preferred the subordinate for certain work assignments and travel opportunities, also in violation of FBI policy. The FBI UC’s conduct violated federal ethics regulations regarding
impartiality. The FBI UC retired while the OIG’s investigation was ongoing.

The OIG has completed its investigation and provided its report to the FBI for its information.
***
Unless otherwise noted, the OIG applies the preponderance of the evidence standard in determining whether Department of Justice (DOJ) personnel have committed misconduct.”

https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/20-081_0.pdf

Is the unnamed Unit Chief David M. Hardy?

From Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020.

“One more thing: A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the FBI’s FOIA letters were no longer signed by Section Chief David M. Hardy, but by Acting Section Chief Michael G. Seidel. What happened to Mr. Hardy? You may recall that Mr. Hardy filed a sworn declaration in 2018 claiming that the FBI searched its files and located no records about Seth Rich.

In September of 2019, however, Judicial Watch obtained an email string about Seth Rich in response to a FOIA request for communications between FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, and in March of 2020 former U.S. Attorney Deborah Sines testified that the FBI had investigated Seth Rich’s laptop and his online accounts. In other words, Mr. Hardy’s testimony was false.

I repeatedly asked U.S. Attorney John Durham and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to investigate whether Mr. Hardy lied under oath, and in an April 22, 2020 letter Mr. Horowitz wrote that he referred my complaint to the FBI’s Inspection Division. Was Mr. Hardy forced out? I don’t know, but if you have any inside information, please send it my way.”

Seth Rich update Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020, Updated FOIA lawsuit, FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy gone?, Why “street robbery” investigation classified?

Posted on July 23, 2020 | 9 comments

Seth Rich update Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020, Updated FOIA lawsuit, FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy gone?, Why “street robbery” investigation  classified?

“Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they call ‘The Resistance’ and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch.” …Attorney General Barr

“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its
constitutional, ethical and legal obligations to this Court and to the defense, and to hide evidence that it knows exonerates Mr. Flynn. As is the essence of the problem here, instead of protecting its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives.”…Attorney Sidney Powell October

“Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a “reasonable” search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger March 29, 2020

 

From Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020.

  • “On Monday, I filed an updated Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for records about Seth Rich, the Awan family, and government surveillance of journalists.
  • Re: Seth Rich, keep an eye on the National Security Division of the Justice Department. As you can see from the federal complaint, the NSD ignored a FOIA request that I filed back in 2018 for records about Seth Rich. And look at Paragraph 16, plus Exhibit 8. I think NSD is playing a bigger role in the “Russian hacking” narrative than most of us understood. By sending Seth Rich records there, it’s easier to keep things classified. So why would a “street robbery” investigation need to be classified?
  • In the Huddleston FOIA case, the government’s response is due on August 10, 2020. Mark your calendar. By that date, the FBI will have to explain what it has done to locate and produce records about Seth Rich. And this time around, the FBI doesn’t have the luxury of denying that the records exist.”

“One more thing: A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the FBI’s FOIA letters were no longer signed by Section Chief David M. Hardy, but by Acting Section Chief Michael G. Seidel. What happened to Mr. Hardy? You may recall that Mr. Hardy filed a sworn declaration in 2018 claiming that the FBI searched its files and located no records about Seth Rich.

Deborah Sines former Assistant United Stated Attorney served subpoena by Attorney Eden Quainton, Aaron Rich v Butowsky et al, Expert witness Larry Johnson

Posted on May 19, 2020 | 2 comments

Deborah Sines former Assistant United Stated Attorney served subpoena by Attorney Eden Quainton, Aaron Rich v Butowsky et al, Expert witness Larry Johnson

“The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those
records in bad faith.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger October 11, 2019

“Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a “reasonable” search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger March 29, 2020

“Plaintiff’s attempt to deflect attention from his attorneys’ massive commitment of resources points to one of the central puzzles in this litigation: why are so many lawyers and their allies in the media and political establishment so committed to stamping out and branding as “lies,” “fake news,” “disinformation,” “contrived narratives,” “concocted stories” any suggesting that Seth or Aaron Rich were involved in transmitting DNC emails to Wikileaks?”…Aaron Rich v Butowsky, et al May 18, 2020

 

From Aaron Rich v Edward Butowsky, et al filed May 18, 2020.

STATUS REPORT UPDATE

“The Status Report filed by Defendants Edward Butowsky and Matthew Couch on May 11, 2020 pursuant to the order of Judge Richard J. Leon, dated April 23, 2020, Dkt. 182, is hereby updated to state that former Assistant United Stated Attorney Deborah Sines has been served with a subpoena for a deposition to be held on June 22, 2020.”

EXPERT WITNESS LARRY JOHNSON’S
REPLY TO OPPOSITION TO CROSS-MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND SANCTIONS

“In the introduction Plaintiff insists on casting himself as David to Defendant’s Goliath. This continues to be absurd. Defendant is represented in this litigation by a solo practitioner with a single (and otherwise occupied) associate. Plaintiff, on the other hand, is backed by two of the most profitable law firms in American history, with the combined firepower of two sets of partners, associates, paralegals, secretaries, word processors and tech support staff. Defendant is
truly armed with a slingshot and Plaintiff has not one but an army of javelin throwers.1

That Mr. Butowsky is also being harassed in a separate lawsuit claiming, in a wildly implausible flight of fancy, that he conspired with President Trump to intentionally target a grieving family is of course completely irrelevant. Plaintiff’s attempt to deflect attention from his attorneys’ massive commitment of resources points to one of the central puzzles in this litigation: why are so many lawyers and their allies in the media and political establishment so committed to stamping out and branding as “lies,” “fake news,” “disinformation,” “contrived
narratives,” “concocted stories” any suggesting that Seth or Aaron Rich were involved in transmitting DNC emails to Wikileaks?

The question readily answers itself: the professional, media and political elite are heavily invested in the now debunked Trump-Russia conspiracy theory and are desperate to “squash” – in the words of one of the early FBI investigators responding to alternative theories to their pet Guccifer 2.0 claim – any honest investigation of the origins of the conspiracy theory, including
the evidence-free “assessment” that Russia military intelligence hacked the DNC servers as part of a plot to support Donald Trump.”

From Citizen Wells May 14, 2020.

From the Attorney Ty Clevenger letter to ODNI Director Richard Grenell dated May 7, 2020.

“I am reliably informed that the NSA or its partners intercepted at least some
of the communications between Mr. Rich and Wikileaks. Before elaborating on
that, however, I should first note the extent to which the “deep state” has already
tried to cover up information about Mr. Rich. In an October 9, 2018 affidavit
submitted in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, FBI section chief David M.
Hardy testified that (1) the FBI did not investigate any matters pertaining to Mr.
Rich, and (2) the FBI was unable to locate any records about Mr. Rich. Both
claims were unequivocally false.”

“On March 20, 2020, I deposed former Asst. U.S. Attorney Deborah Sines,
the prosecutor assigned to the Seth Rich murder case. She testified that (1) the FBI investigated a possible intrusion into Mr. Rich’s electronic accounts; (2) the FBI examined Mr. Rich’s computer; and (3) the FBI did have records pertaining to Mr. Rich. Ms. Sines further testified that she met with a prosecutor and an FBI agent from Mr. Mueller’s team (ergo there should be an FD-302 form from that
interview). Again, this flatly contradicts the FBI’s official narrative that (1) Mr.
Rich was never the subject.””

Seth Rich conclusive proof of Wikileaks contact imminent, Attorney Ty Clevenger letter to ODNI Director Richard Grenell, Clevenger v USDOJ

Seth Rich conclusive proof of Wikileaks contact imminent, Attorney Ty Clevenger letter to ODNI Director Richard Grenell, Clevenger v USDOJ

“The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those
records in bad faith.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger October 11, 2019

“Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a “reasonable” search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger March 29, 2020

“Where is Ellen Ratner, key witness in the Seth Rich Wikileaks controversy?”...Citizen Wells

 

From the Attorney Ty Clevenger letter to ODNI Director Richard Grenell dated May 7, 2020.

“I represent Ed Butowsky in the cases identified above, each of which
concerns an overlapping question of fact, namely whether former Democratic
National Committee employee Seth Rich played a role in leaking emails from the
DNC to Wikileaks in 2016. I respectfully request your assistance in de-classifying
National Security Agency records that would settle this question once and for all.

As you are probably aware, Mr. Rich was murdered in Washington, D.C.
shortly after the emails were released, and Julian Assange strongly inferred that
Mr. Rich – rather than Russian hackers – was responsible for sending the emails to Wikileaks. Conversely, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the FBI, and the
intelligence establishment all have insisted that Mr. Rich played no role in
transferring the emails.

I am reliably informed that the NSA or its partners intercepted at least some
of the communications between Mr. Rich and Wikileaks. Before elaborating on
that, however, I should first note the extent to which the “deep state” has already
tried to cover up information about Mr. Rich. In an October 9, 2018 affidavit
submitted in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, FBI section chief David M.
Hardy testified that (1) the FBI did not investigate any matters pertaining to Mr.
Rich, and (2) the FBI was unable to locate any records about Mr. Rich. Both
claims were unequivocally false.”

“On March 20, 2020, I deposed former Asst. U.S. Attorney Deborah Sines,
the prosecutor assigned to the Seth Rich murder case. She testified that (1) the FBI investigated a possible intrusion into Mr. Rich’s electronic accounts; (2) the FBI examined Mr. Rich’s computer; and (3) the FBI did have records pertaining to Mr. Rich. Ms. Sines further testified that she met with a prosecutor and an FBI agent from Mr. Mueller’s team (ergo there should be an FD-302 form from that
interview). Again, this flatly contradicts the FBI’s official narrative that (1) Mr.
Rich was never the subject.”

Now, back to the NSA. Former NSA officials Bill Binney, Ed Loomis, and
Kirk Wiebe are prepared to testify that the DNC emails published by Wikileaks
could not have been obtained via hacking. Markings on the published emails –
including the speeds at which the email files were transmitted – exclude the
possibility of hacking. Instead, someone must have downloaded the files onto a
thumb drive or something similar. Furthermore, the NSA or its Five Eyes partners in London would have intercepted any communications between Mr. Rich and Wikileaks.

I have enclosed an October 4, 2018 letter wherein the NSA refused to
produce 32 pages of records about Seth Rich insofar as those records were
classified. I have also enclosed a November 22, 2019 letter wherein the NSA
declined to produce records in response to a subpoena duces tecum. One of my
consulting experts, Larry C. Johnson, was informed that the NSA possesses
additional communications between Mr. Rich and Wikileaks. Mr. Johnson is
retired from the CIA, and he has spoken with an intelligence official who said
there were additional communications.

Section 1.7 of Executive Order 13526 prohibits the use of classification for
purposes of concealing wrongdoing, and I believe the NSA is trying to conceal
wrongdoing that occurred during the Obama Administration. I respectfully request that you de-classify the NSA’s records about Seth Rich, further directing the NSA to release the records. Releasing the records would certainly help my client, but it would do a lot more than that. Disclosure would go a long way toward exposing the depravity of the “deep state,” and that is long overdue.”

From Clevenger v US Department of Justice filed May 1, 2020 by Attorney Ty Clevenger.

“In his March 29, 2020 Notice (Doc. No. 57), the Plaintiff informed the Court about the March 20, 2020 deposition of former Asst. U.S. Attorney Deborah Sines, and he further told the Court that he would provide a copy of Ms. Sines’s testimony after it became available. The Order was released on April 3, 2020, before the Plaintiff filed the transcript, but he has attached as Exhibit 1 to this motion a true and correct transcript of Ms. Sines’s testimony (hereinafter
“Transcript”).1 The Plaintiff respectfully moves the Court to reconsider the Order, particularly pages 15-19, in light of Ms. Sines’s testimony. Even without her testimony, however, the Plaintiff can establish that the government was not entitled to summary judgment.”

He did not interview Bill Binney. He did not interview Julian Assange. His failure to do any of those obvious things renders his report worthless.”…Craig Murray

Multiple witnesses for the Aaron Rich v ED Butowsky, et al lawsuit have attempted to be served.


Sy Hersh has been served for a June 15 deposition.


But where is Ellen Ratner, whose brother had been an attorney for and who met with Julian Assange?


From Aaron Rich v ED Butowsky, et al  May 11, 2020.


STATUS REPORT

Pursuant to the order of Judge Richard J. Leon, dated April 23, 2020, Dkt. 182 (the “Order”), Defendants Edward Butowsky and Matthew Couch provide the following status reporton the service of additional subpoenas authorized pursuant to the Order.


Sy Hersh

Sy Hersh had been previously served but the date for the deposition has passed. A subpoena directing Sy Hersh to appear for a deposition on June 15, 2020 has been served as set forth on Ex. 1 to the Declaration of Eden P. Quainton, dated May 11, 2020 (the “Quainton Decl.”).


Ellen Ratner

Six unsuccessful attempts to serve Ellen Ratner at addresses in California and New York have been made and Defendants have performed several “skip trace” searches attempting to locate Ms. Ratner.”


“Ms. Ratner remains unserved. Defendants have instructed their process server to continue attempting to locate and serve the correct Ellen Ratner. Quainton Decl. Ex. 13. However, counsel for Defendants respectfully requests that permission be given for alternative means of service, such as through social media, since it appears unlikely service will be successful on Ms. Ratner

by conventional means.”


“Metropolitan Police Department (the “MPD”)

Defendants had previously unsuccessfully attempted to serve the MPD. Dkt. 183 at 19. Defendant Butowsky reissued a subpoena and unsuccessfully attempted service. Quainton Decl. Ex. 14. He was directed to effect service by certified mail, which Defendant has authorized. Id.; Quainton Decl. Ex. 15. As of today, the MPD remains unserved. Counsel does not yet have confirmation that the MPD has received and is accepting service of the subpoena sent by certified mail.”

“From Citizen Wells November 12, 2019.


The facts and why Julian Assange is the key witness in the DNC leak and disproving a Russian hack:


    

  1. Julian Assange, in a January 4, 2017 CNN video states: “Our source is not the Russian Government”
    2. 

  2. Fox News analyst Ellen Ratner, representing the left, at a Embry University symposium on November 9, 2016: “Ellen Ratner can confirm that the Saturday before the Election 2016, she met with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for 3 hours. He told her that Russia did not “hack” the DNC, it was from an internal source.”
    3. 

  3.  Rep. Rohrabacher, in a August 2017 interview with John Solomon of the The Hill, stated: “Our three-hour meeting covered a wide array of issues, including the WikiLeaks exposure of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] emails during last year’s presidential election,” Rohrabacher said, “Julian emphatically stated that the Russians were not involved in the hacking or disclosure of those emails.”
    4. 

  4. Attorney Ty Clevenger: “Fox News news analyst Ellen Ratner relayed information from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to Texas businessman Ed Butowsky regarding Seth Rich’s role in transferring emails to Wikileaks, according to an amended lawsuit that I filed this morning on behalf of Mr. Butowsky.”

Deborah Sines Seth Rich investigation deposition released April 3, 2020, Consulted with FBI and DC police, Rich laptop examined, Transcript link


And I’ve now found a witness who says the original 302 did in fact say that Flynn was honest with the agents.”...Attorney Sidney Powell


“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its

constitutional, ethical and legal obligations to this Court and to the defense, and to hide evidence that it knows exonerates Mr. Flynn. As is the essence of the problem here, instead of protecting its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives.”…Attorney Sidney Powell October 23, 2019


“The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those

records in bad faith.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger October 11, 2019


 


From The Gateway Pundit April 3, 2020.


“Former DOJ Assistant US Attorney Admits FBI Examined Seth Rich’s Computer and She Met with FBI and Mueller Gang But No 302 Has Been Provided to Date


More evidence confirms more FBI and Mueller gang lies and cover ups.  This time a Deep State Anti-Trump former Assistant US Attorney claimed under oath that the FBI did examine Seth Rich’s computer and that she met with an FBI Agent and prosecutor from the Mueller gang.  This indicates the meeting should have been recorded in a form 302 but the FBI continues to claim no records related to Seth Rich are available!


Previously we reported that after getting caught lying to the Courts and claiming there were no documents related to Seth Rich, emails between FBI Deep State lovers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were uncovered by Judicial Watch with the title “Seth Rich” .


Attorney Ty Clevenger uncovered that the former Assistant US Attorney related to the case admitted that Rich’s computer was inspected by the FBI and that there would be records related to this investigation.  She now has been deposed and her comments are shocking, indicating she met with both the FBI and the Mueller gang!


Earlier this week Clevenger filed his request again asking for all information related to the Seth Rich case. This was based on recent testimony from former Assistant US Attorney Deborah Sines:”

From the transcript:


“Q. If you would turn to page 49 of that

5 Episode 6 transcript. On — on that page Mr. Isikoff

6 says: MPD or Metropolitan Police Department examined

7 and reexamined Seth’s laptop.

8 Is that something that you told Mr. Isikoff?

9 A. Yes, it is.

10 Q. And to your — to your knowledge, that is a

11 true statement?

12 A. Yes.

13 Q. Did the MPD have any assistance from other

14 agencies in examining the laptop?

15 A. I was not authorized to say what MPD did. I

16 should not have said that. That is the law enforcement

17 privilege. It’s an open case. I’m not allowed to

18 answer anything else other than did I say it and was it

19 true. I was not authorized to say that.

20 Q. Do you know whether Aaron Rich disclosed all

21 of his brother’s e-mail accounts during the

22 investigation?

23 A. I’m not allowed to answer that.

24 Q. On page 54 of the transcript, it quotes you

25 as saying that there was more than one person that was


1 involved, a gunman and someone who aided and abetted?

2 A. Let me just —

3 Q. Did you make that statement?

4 A. What — what page is that?

5 Q. Okay. 54.

6 A. I’m just looking to see where I’m talking.

7 Wait a minute. Can you give me a line, Counsel?

8 Q. Actually, I don’t have it in front of me.

9 Let me pull it up. Just a second.

10 A. I’ve got it. I see it.

11 Q. Okay. Was that —

12 A. Hold on.

13 Q. Is that —

14 A. Let — let me read it.

15 Q. Sure.

16 A. I said it. That’s the truth.

17 Q. Okay. Can you say why you believe it was

18 more than one person?

19 A. I wish I could. From my investigation. From

20 the evidence.

21 Q. Okay.

22 A. I really do wish I could answer your

23 question.

24 Q. I understand. You said in the interview that

25 you had to track down every lead. Did you or anyone


1 from your investigative team attempt to contact

2 WikiLeaks?

3 A. Oh, I’m not allowed to answer that.

4 Q. And I understand you may not be able to

5 answer these, but I — I have to get them on the record.

6 A. I understand. I understand.

7 Q. Did you or anyone from your team attempt to

8 interview or contact Julian Assange?

9 A. I’m not permitted to answer that either.

10 Q. What about Kim Dotcom?

11 A. I’m not allowed to answer that either.

12 Q. Did you issue subpoenas to obtain Aaron

13 Rich’s bank accounts?

14 A. I’m not allowed to answer that.

15 Q. Did you issue subpoenas to obtain Seth Rich’s

16 bank accounts?

17 A. I’m not allowed to answer that.

18 Q. Did you issue subpoenas to obtain Aaron or

19 Seth Rich’s PayPal or eBay accounts?

20 A. I’m not allowed to answer that. That’s all

21 grand jury.

22 Q. I understand.

23 A. I know.

24 Q. Again, I’m just putting this on the record.

25 A. I understand.”

Deborah Sines deposition from March 20, 2020 testimony re FBI Seth Rich investigation, Contradicts affidavit testimony of Section Chief David M. Hardy

“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its

“The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those

records in bad faith.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger October 11, 2019


 


From Attorney Ty Clevenger in Clevenger v US Justice Dept. filed March 29, 2020.


“NOW COMES the Plaintiff, Ty Clevenger, giving notice to the Court as follows:

The Plaintiff, acting in his capacity as counsel for Edward Butowsky in Butowsky v. Folkenflik, et al., Case No. 4:18-CV-00442 (E.D.Tex.), deposed former Asst. U.S. Attorney Deborah Sines on March 20, 2020. The Court may recall that Ms. Sines was the prosecutor assigned to the Seth Rich murder case, and she told journalist Michael Isikoff during an interview last year that the FBI investigated attempts to hack into Mr. Rich’s electronic accounts. See PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO ACCEPT SUPPLEMENTAL EVIDENCE AND PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO PERMIT DISCOVERY 2-3 (Doc. No. 44)(quoting excerpt of interview). During the same interview, Mr. Isikoff stated that the FBI had examined Seth Rich’s computer. Id. In her March 20, 2020 testimony, Ms. Sines confirmed that her statements about the FBI investigation were true.1

She further confirmed that the FBI had examined Mr. Rich’s computer, as Mr. Isikoff said. Finally, Ms. Sines testified that the FBI should have email communications regarding the foregoing activities.


Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a “reasonable” search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy. See October 3, 2018 DECLARATION OF DAVID M. HARDY (Doc. No. 16-1)

and July 29, 2019 SECOND DECLARATION OF DAVID M. HARDY (attached in hard-copy form to the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment). As soon as the Plaintiff obtains a transcript of the Sines deposition, he intends to move the Court to accept that transcript as evidence. The Plaintiff may also seek permission to depose Mr. Hardy.”

From Attorney Ty Clevenger January 27, 2020.


“We now have unequivocal proof that the FBI is hiding records about Seth Rich


The FBI is hiding documents about murdered Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich, according to emails released last week, so this morning I requested a criminal investigation into the cover-up.


As most people outside of solitary confinement know, the whole “Russian collusion” investigation began with the premise that Russia hacked the DNC, but considerable evidence suggests that the DNC emails were downloaded by someone inside the DNC — liike Mr. Rich — and then provided to Wikileaks.


Rather than re-invent the wheel, I’ve copied and pasted my letter to U.S. Attorney John Durham, U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue, and Inspector General Michael Horowitz:”

Julian Assange lawyers seek asylum in France to avoid extradition to United States, “We consider the situation is sufficiently serious…to talk about it”


“Why John Brennan, Peter Strzok and DOJ Needed Julian Assange Arrested”…The Conservative Treehouse November 3, 2019


“In 20 years of work with victims of war, violence and political persecution I have never seen a group of democratic states ganging up to deliberately isolate, demonise and abuse a single individual for such a long time and with so little regard for human dignity and the rule of law … The collective persecution of Julian Assange must end here and now!”...Professor Nils Melzer 


“Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.”…George Orwell


 


From the AP February 20, 2020.


“Defense lawyers say they will seek French asylum for Assange


Julian Assange’s European defense team said Thursday it will try to seek asylum in France for the Wikileaks founder, whose full hearings for extradition to the United States on spying charges start next week in London.


French team member Eric Dupont-Moretti said Assange’s case placed at stake “the fate and the status of all journalists.(asterisk)


“We consider the situation is sufficiently serious that our duty is to talk about it” with French President Emmanuel Macron, the lawyer said


He was one of a team of lawyers lined up at a Paris news conference to explain why they view the case against Assange as unfair, citing his poor health and alleged violations of his rights while in jail in London.


French members of the team said they have been working on a “concrete demand” for Macron to grant Assange asylum in France, where he has children and where Wikileaks was present at its founding.


“It is not an ordinary demand,” lawyer Antoine Vey said, noting that Assange is not on French soil.”
