Assange testimony requested in Rich v Butowsky et al  August 24, 2020, Seth Rich Wikileaks source of DNC files?, Requests international judicial assistance

“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

“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?”…Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020

 

From Aaron Rich v Edward Butowsky, et al August 24, 2020.

REQUEST FOR INTERNATIONAL JUDICIAL ASSISTANCE
LETTER OF REQUEST PURSUANT TO THE HAGUE CONVENTION OF 18 MARCH
1970 ON THE TAKING OF EVIDENCE ABROAD IN CIVIL OR COMMERCIAL
MATTERS (THE “HAGUE CONVENTION”)

“The United States District Court for the District of Columbia presents its compliments to the appropriate judicial authority of the United Kingdom (“UK”), and requests international judicial assistance to obtain evidence to be used in a civil proceeding before this Court in the above-captioned matter. Upon hearing the Plaintiff’s Motion for Issuance of a Letter of Requestter “Governski Decl.”), this Court has determined that it would further the interests of justice if by the proper and usual process of your Court, you summon Julian Assange to appear before a person empowered under English law to administer oaths and take testimony forthwith, to give testimony under oath or affirmation by
questions and answers upon oral examination in respect of the matters and issues identified below, and permit the parties to create a written transcript and video recording of such testimony.

The applicant for thisletter is Aaron Rich. UK counsel is available to answer any questions the Court may have.”

“The testimony is intended for use at trial, and in the view of this Court, will be relevant to claims and defenses in the case, including Plaintiff Aaron Rich’s allegations of defamation.”

“Defendants have seized upon statements that WikiLeaks’ founder, Julian Assange, made on a Dutch television program approximately one month after Seth Rich’s murder. In that interview, Mr. Assange made comments that Defendants have interpreted as an insinuation (or more) that Seth Rich may have been a WikiLeaks source. Although WikiLeaks subsequently
released a statement on Twitter that its policy of neither confirming nor denying “whether any person has ever been a source for WikiLeaks” should “not be taken to imply that Seth Rich was a source to WikiLeaks or to imply that his murder is connected to our publications,” WikiLeaks nonetheless continued to publish tweets about Seth Rich that provided fodder for Defendants’
conspiracy theories. Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded that Assange’s and WikiLeaks’ “statements about Rich implied falsely that he had been the source of the stolen DNC emails,” noting that “information uncovered during the investigation discredit WikiLeaks’ claims about the source of material that it posted.””

    CW…….
    ………one thing seems to be certain where Julian Assange is concerned…….if he is brought out of the prison for ANY reason he will immediately have a target attached to him………and I would bet that he would be DEAD in less than 24 hours. It is my belief that Podesta already has a contract out on Assange, and I would also bet that it has a value in 6 figures. This is how the DEMOCRATIC BASTARDS do business.

    CW…….
    ……….in truth the DEMOCRATS are a Mafia type of organization. For a very long time the New York Mafia families were tied to the DEMOCRATIC party. This goes back into the years prior to WW2. In those days the New York political organization was referred to as TAMMANY HALL. All of the organized crime groups had ties with Tammany Hall. That is how they survived!!!!!!

    AND…….
    ………….you can be sure that the TERRAPIN, and his siblings are products of the old Tammany Hall MURDER INCORPORATED. REAL BASTARDS.

    YES……..
    ……….it SPEAKS VOLUMES !!! Assange’s life is not worth a plugged nickel if he is brought anywhere near the public. He is comparatively safe as long as he is kept in the bowels of the high security prison. IN TRUTH he really isn’t even safe there……..perhaps just a little safer.!!!! Sooner or later he will be DISPOSED of. The stinking CRIMINAL SLIME in the world can even ooze through tiny cracks in the prison concrete.

  7. oldsailor88 | August 5, 2020 at 7:18 pm | | Edit

    SETH RICH………
    ………..was murdered as a reprisal for his misadventure of hacking the DNC computers. Somehow the TERRAPIN and his sneaking associates quickly figured out who was responsible for the massive theft of classified DNC files. He allegedly publicly stated that he had NO PROBLEM with teaching Rich a lesson. When the TERRAPIN said those words it became the command to WHACK Rich. The TERRAPIN along with his STINKING CRIMINAL FRIENDS WILL ALL eventually PAY THE FIDDLER. REAL BASTARDS. Even Whitey Bulger did not do some of the sort of crimes the TERRAPIN is capable of committing. The TERRAPIN is a TRUE PIECE OF SH-T.

US v Kevin Clinesmith August 14, 2020, First John Durham investigation criminal case, Clinesmith to plead guilty, Altered OGA liaison email

“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

“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

 

From US v Kevin Clinesmith August 14, 2020.

Criminal complaint.

“Specifically on or about June 19, 2017, the defendant altered the OGA Liaison’s June 15, 2017 email by adding that Individual #1 “was not a source” and then forwarded the email to the SSA, when in truth, and in fact, and as the defendant well knew, the original June 15, 2017 from the OGA Liaison did not contain the words “not a source.””

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.

From the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) July 29, 2020.

Findings of Misconduct by a then Federal Bureau of Investigation Unit Chief for Approving a Subordinate’s Outside Employment Form Knowing that the Form Contained Misleading Information and Dereliction of Supervisory Responsibilities

The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated this investigation upon the receipt of information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) alleging that a then Unit Chief approved a request for outside
employment submitted by a subordinate that contained false information, despite the Unit Chief allegedly being fully aware of the circumstances of the request, and then forwarded the request for executive approval. The request was
made during the lapse in appropriations, which began in December 2018 (commonly referred to as the “government shutdown”), at a time when the subordinate had been furloughed and was no longer receiving a regular paycheck. TheFBI canceled the subordinate’s request before the subordinate began outside employment.

The OIG investigation substantiated that the Unit Chief violated FBI policy by approving the subordinate’s outside employment form despite knowing that the form contained misleading information, in that it failed to disclose a
professional relationship between the subordinate and the potential outside employer that raised a financial conflict of interest concern. The OIG investigation also substantiated that the Unit Chief violated FBI policy by failing to exercise reasonable care in the execution of supervisory duties and responsibilities related to the subordinate’s request for outside employment.

The Unit Chief retired while the OIG investigation was ongoing.
The OIG has completed its investigation and provided its report to the FBI for its information.”

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

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.”

https://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/COVID_19_Declaration_031920.pdf

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?

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.

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.”

Flynn brief US Court of Appeals July 20, 2020, Attorney Powell: “district court has hijacked and extended a criminal prosecution for almost three months for its own purposes”

Flynn brief US Court of Appeals July 20, 2020, Attorney Powell: “district court has hijacked and extended a criminal prosecution for almost three months for its own purposes”

“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

“her client was “totally set up” because he threatened to expose wrongdoing by top intelligence officials in the Obama administration.

“He was going to audit the intel agencies because he knew about the billions Brennan and company were running off the books,” Powell said, referring to former CIA Director John Brennan.”…Sidney Powell, Vickie McKenna Show

“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

 

From the brief filed by Attorney Sidney Powell at the US Court of Appeals District of Columbia July 20, 2020.

MICHAEL T. FLYNN’S OPPOSITION TO REHEARING EN BANC

“No federal circuit has countenanced rehearing of a mandamus on
petition by a district judge. Judge Sullivan has no cognizable interest in
the case. Rehearing should be denied because the panel properly applied
the longstanding use of mandamus to which General Flynn is clearly
entitled “to confine an inferior court to a lawful exercise of its prescribed
jurisdiction or to compel it to exercise its authority when it is its duty to
do so.” Roche v. Evaporated Milk Ass’n, 319 U.S. 21, 26 (1943). Here, it
is both.

Rehearing is not warranted under Fed. R. App. P. 35(a)(1) because
there is no conflict with any decision. The opinion is not only consistent
with—but required by—United States v. Fokker Servs. B.V., 818 F.3d 733
(D.C. Cir. 2016), and United States v. Ammidown, 497 F.2d 615 (D.C. Cir.
1973). Ammidown recognizes the responsibility of the Executive Branch
to determine “the public interest” to justify dismissal. Id. at 620. Only
the prosecutor is “in a position to evaluate the government’s prosecution
resources and the number of cases it is able to prosecute.” Id. at 621.
Dismissal is required upon the Government’s statement of reasons. As
the Second Circuit wrote when reversing then Judge Gleeson for selfaggrandizing his role in reviewing a deferred prosecution agreement, to do otherwise would turn “the presumption [of regularity] on its
head.” United States v. HSBC Bank USA, N.A., 863 F.3d 125, 136 (2d
Cir. 2017).

The district court exceeded its constitutional authority by
appointing amicus to work against General Flynn after the parties
agreed to dismissal. The Constitution and all precedent applying or
analyzing Fed. R. Crim. P. 48(a) mandate dismissal on the robust
substantive motion of the government—every case. Even if this were an
issue of first impression, this Court has held that “mandamus is
appropriate” where there is “a substantial allegation of usurpation of
power.” In re Sealed Case No. 98-3077, 151 F.3d 1059, 1067 (D.C. Cir.
1998) (citing Schlagenhauf v. Holder, 379 U.S. 104, 111 (1964)); see Ex
parte Peru, 318 U.S. 578, 587 (1943) (“delay and inconvenience of a
prolonged litigation [must] be avoided by prompt termination of the
proceedings in the district court”). The district court’s delay here has
extended this litigation and impaired General Flynn’s freedom for an
additional ten weeks so far.”

“The district court has hijacked and extended a criminal prosecution
for almost three months for its own purposes. For these reasons and
those in Flynn’s Petition and Reply, and the arguments and briefs of the
Government, this Court should deny rehearing and issue mandamus to
dismiss with prejudice instanter.”
