saraacater--2020-08-14--Waiting On Justice: It’s Been Four Years

After more than four years , Department of Justice prosecutor John Durham is finally going to give us a small piece of what he ’ s been working on since being appointed to investigate the FBI ’ s now-debunked probe into President Donald Trump and Russia .
The American people vested in the story and lawmakers who have spent years investigating it are more than frustrated and they have reason to be .
A duly elected president and the American people had their constitutional rights trampled on and have witnessed egregious malfeasance with agencies that have been entrusted to uphold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials used and abused the trust of the American people .
The senior officials weaponized federal law enforcement , as well as U.S. intelligence assets to spy on a political opponent .
When these former senior officials couldn ’ t derail President Trump ’ s campaign or his electability , they continued to target his administration and for the last nearly four years they tried to derail his presidency .
After several years of do nothing former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and several interim AGs , we still have not seen justice in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ modern history .
If today ’ s decision by Durham is to issue several smaller indictments against low rung employees then we know justice will not be fully served .
The simplest indictment would be against FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith , who falsified the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against Carter Page .
Page , who was a volunteer for the 2016 Trump campaign , is now suing multiple media outlets for falsifying information against him .
The warrant allowed the FBI to spy on Page ’ s communications and allowed them access @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was not alone in his actions .
Neither were any of the other FBI agents that spied on Trump ’ s campaign .
These actions were approved and managed by senior-level officials like FBI Director James Comey and his Deputy Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper .
Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus Rep. Andy Biggs told me Friday morning that Barr ’ s statements to Fox News host Sean Hannity Thursday night about Durham ’ s announcement is concerning .
He noted that Barr ’ s statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earth shattering ” is an indication that not enough is being done .
I absolutely agree with Biggs .
He wasn ’ t the only one I spoke to this morning in Congress that is concerned about the direction of the Department of Justice and the ongoing investigation into the FBI ’ s probe .
I guess we ’ ll just have to wait and see .
It should only be hours before we know whether or not we have a two-tiered justice system and bureaucrats so powerful they operate with impunity .

UPDATE:
In a significant turn of events, Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprising announcement on Friday, elevating Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to the role of special counsel. This decision marks a shift in focus towards the investigation of the Biden family’s financial matters. The probe, which encompasses Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and any potential connections his father, President Joe Biden, might have with his foreign associates, is slated to extend into the 2024 election cycle. Interestingly, this move comes as former President Donald Trump is simultaneously facing two federal indictments from the same department.
Garland stressed that the decision to appoint Weiss as an independent prosecutor aligns with the “public interest” and adheres to departmental regulations. Importantly, this transition was initiated by Weiss himself, who, earlier this week, conveyed his belief that the investigation had reached a point where he should proceed as a special counsel.
Weiss is no stranger to this intricate landscape. He is the federal prosecutor responsible for bringing charges against President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in Delaware. Recent times have witnessed the unfolding of legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden, including a probation-oriented plea arrangement that was ultimately rejected by a judge. In June, Hunter Biden agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors, admitting guilt in two tax-related offenses and a firearm charge, potentially leading to the dismissal of the latter charge. This latest development underscores the intensification of scrutiny into the financial affairs of the Biden family and highlights the evolving legal landscape involving prominent political figures.
—
Attorney General Merrick Garland will speak to the public Friday afternoon. It is highly anticipated because I believe, as do many others, that he may be getting ready to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate “Hunter Biden” and his financial dealings overseas. Although, welcome there are still too many concerns with the DOJ that need to be addressed and there is little faith among many Americans that anything will be done.
Americans have witnessed the makings and the result of a two tiered justice system since President Trump was elected and then the continuing targeting of Trump even after his term as president.
I’ve spoken about the need for an outside investigation into Hunter Biden and President Biden at length on my podcast, The Sara Carter Show and on Fox News. But I’ve been jaded by the failures of past investigations and the weaponization of the Justice Department to do its job. The failure of the DOJ to be blind and just has been devastating to our nation.
Will Garland appoint a special counsel? I don’t know but as Americans we must demand that our leadership, our bureaucracies and our law makers follow the rule of law without prejudice. If they do not, as we have seen over the past decade with the establishments attacks on President Donald Trump and the weaponization of the system to target him, then our foundation will not only be fractured but it will be irreparable.
Either way, the alleged crimes and obvious financial connections linked to the Biden family with adversarial nations like China and Russia must be thoroughly investigated and the investigation must be made public. The Biden connections and large sums of money taken from government connected energy companies in Ukraine must also be thoroughly vetted and any improprieties must be made public.

Dear Colleague on House Returning to Save the Postal Service
AUGUST 16, 2020 PRESS RELEASE
Dear Democratic Colleague,
The Postal Service is a pillar of our democracy, enshrined in the Constitution and essential for providing critical services: delivering prescriptions, Social Security benefits, paychecks, tax returns and absentee ballots to millions of Americans, including in our most remote communities.
Alarmingly, across the nation, we see the devastating effects of the President’s campaign to sabotage the election by manipulating the Postal Service to disenfranchise voters. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, one of the top Trump mega-donors, has proven a complicit crony as he continues to push forward sweeping new operational changes that degrade postal service, delay the mail, and – according to the Postal Service itself – threaten to deny the ability of eligible Americans to cast their votes through the mail in the upcoming elections in a timely fashion. These delays also threaten the health and economic security of the American people by delaying delivery of life-saving medicines and payments. In 2019, 1.2 billion prescriptions were delivered through the Postal Services, including almost 100 percent from the VA to veterans.
Lives, livelihoods and the life of our American Democracy are under threat from the President.
That is why I am calling upon the House to return to session later this week to vote on Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Maloney’s “Delivering for America Act,” which prohibits the Postal Service from implementing any changes to operations or level of service it had in place on January 1, 2020. House Democratic Leader Hoyer will soon be announcing the legislative schedule for the coming week.
To save the Postal Service, I am also calling upon Members to participate in a Day of Action on Tuesday by appearing at a Post Office in their districts for a press event. In a time of a pandemic, the Postal Service is Election Central. Americans should not have to choose between their health and their vote.
As we protect the Postal Service and access to the ballot, we continue to lead the fight for The Heroes Act as the coronavirus crisis continues to spiral further out of control.
I am grateful to Members for their enthusiasm about returning to Washington, and I am grateful for their suggestions for what else we may consider acting upon when we return.
Thank you for your enthusiasm, leadership and friendship.

In a surprising twist, a newly unsealed court document has unveiled that Special Counsel Jack Smith managed to gain access to former President Donald J Trump’s Twitter account, including its private messages and draft tweets. This revelation comes amidst his ongoing investigations into alleged wrongdoings by the ex-president.
The document indicates that Smith obtained a secret search warrant in January, permitting him to scrutinize the ‘@RealDonaldTrump’ account for potential evidence related to criminal activities. Initially, a judge imposed a hefty fine of $350,000 on Elon Musk’s social media conglomerate, previously known as Twitter, for its refusal to cooperate, as revealed in documents released last week.
Furthermore, the court order also restricted the company, now identified as X, from informing Trump about the warrant. According to sources from Smith’s special counsel team, the fear was that if Trump were alerted to the warrant, he might interfere with the investigation.
An attorney from Smith’s team explained, “There actually are concrete cognizable reasons to think that if the former president had notice of these covert investigative steps, there would be actual harm and concern for the investigation, for the witnesses going forward.”
Following some legal wrangling, the unsealed filing discloses that Twitter ultimately provided the requested records. The court filing specifies that Smith secured a search warrant that directed Twitter to hand over ‘data and records’ linked to Trump’s Twitter account, according to reports from the Daily Mail. The content of the messages and draft tweets remains undisclosed.
As per a transcript included in the submission, a legal representative from Twitter affirmed that the company divulged ‘all direct messages, including those in ‘draft form,’ to the special counsel’s team. Moreover, access to both ‘eliminated’ and ‘retained’ direct messages from Trump was accorded to the special counsel’s team.
The former president, in response, accused Joe Biden of being responsible for the warrant and criticized Smith for what he deemed a violation of his privacy. Trump posted on Monday to voice his displeasure, stating, “How dare lowlife prosecutor, Deranged Jack Smith, breaking into my Twitter account without informing me and, indeed, trying to completely hide this atrocity from me. What could he possibly find out that is not already known.”
Smith’s actions have culminated in a 37-count indictment against Trump, with charges ranging from obstruction of justice in relation to classified materials to his efforts to maintain power after losing the 2020 election. The indictment also implicates Trump in spreading falsehoods and encouraging the events of January 6th, characterized as an attack on the Capitol “fueled by lies.”
In response to these developments, Smith issued a public statement underscoring that the assault on the Capitol was “fueled by lies” propagated by Trump, aiming to disrupt the core workings of the U.S. government’s electoral process. Smith asserted his commitment to a ‘swift’ trial as part of his pursuit of justice.

The Chinese Coast Guard and its maritime militia sailed into Philippine waters around the Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea, firing water cannons at Philippine vessels and crew seeking to re-supply a Philippine ship within the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone. The US State Department called such actions by China “inconsistent with international law” and “unwarranted interference in lawful Philippine maritime operations.” The State Department has maintained that China has “no lawful claim” to that area.
But rather than standing down, China is attempting to gaslight the Philippines and the world into accepting its narrative. A spokesman for China’s Ministry of National Defense stated that China “has sovereignty” over the area, which it calls “Nansha Qundao, including Ren’ai Jiao,” according to Xinhua. The area in dispute has always been a part of China, according to Global Times.
The CCP press also states that China “lawfully intercepted” the Philippine vessels, China’s actions towards the Philippines “was professional, restrained, and beyond reproach,” and that the “Philippine side ignored China’s goodwill and sincerity.”
Chinese media also paints the US, not China, as the aggressor. According to a spokesman from China’s Foreign Ministry, the US is “blatantly support[ing] the Philippines’ violation of China’s sovereignty, and its plot is doomed to fail,” according to Global Times. In responding to the incident, the US “continues to hype up the longstanding disputes between China [and its neighbors]” in order “to maintain hegemony and create a ‘security trap’” with those neighbors, according to the president of a Beijing think tank as cited by China Daily. The US has “no right to meddle” in the South China Sea” and is “creating trouble and sowing discord,” according to a spokesman for China’s Ministry of National Defense as cited by that same article.
The CCP press pushes an alternative reality of international law to buttress its claims. The Philippines, not China, is in violation of international law, according to spokesmen of China’s Foreign Ministry and Coast Guard as cited by Global Times. The Philippines committed “illegal” acts by re-supplying its ship, and having its ship there in the first place, according to Global Times. Philippines v. China, or the South China Sea Arbitration, is “‘illegal, null and void’ as it violates international law[…]” according to a spokesman from the Chinese foreign ministry, as cited by China Daily. The spokesman further said that “China does not accept or recognize it, and will never accept any claim or action based on the [arbitration]. This position is clear and firm, and is a legitimate step to uphold the international rule of law.” A Global Times article similarly referred to the arbitration as the “so called South China Sea arbitration,” and that it is “illegal and invalid.”
China continues to bully its neighbors in the South China Sea. At the same time, it wages a sophisticated propaganda effort aimed at obscuring this fact to further its hegemony in the region. The United States needs a clear policy to lead its allies in the region against China’s growing threat.

” “ Somebody please explain to @ MichelleObama that Donald J. Trump would not be here , in the beautiful White House , if it weren ’ t for the job done by your husband , Barack Obama .

Right before the 42nd President is set to take the virtual stage at the Democratic National Convention tonight , new photos surfaced of Clinton receiving a neck massage from a victim of Jeffrey Epstein during a 2002 trip to Africa on the disgraced pedophile ’ s private jet .
Clinton is seen smiling , leaning back , and receiving the massage from victim 22-year-old Chauntae Davies , as exclusively reported by the Daily Mail .
The report alleges Epstein ’ s madame Ghislaine Maxwell encouraged the young girl to give Clinton a massage after he complained of having a stiff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s plane , the “ Lolita Express , ” en route to Africa .

During her speech at the virtual Democratic National Convention , former first lady Michelle Obama called out and berated President Trump for the widely used accusation of separating children from their parents at the Southern Border and locking them in “ cages.
” What Michelle Obama seems to have forgotten , is that the policy was created under her husband ’ s presidency and halted during the Trump Administration .
As reported by the AP , Michelle slammed the President for locking children in cages but forgot to mention that they were constructed during Barack Obama ’ s presidency and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The chain link block facilities were used to hold migrant children until U.S. Customs and Border Protection , along with Health and Human Services , could verify the children ’ s ‘ parents.

Janice Dean Slams Cuomo’s New Book On COVID-19: His Leadership In NY Was The ‘American Crisis.’ Her Fight Is Our Fight.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is publishing a book on the COVID-19 pandemic , which ravaged nursing homes in his state and killed more than 32,000 people statewide .
It ’ s uncertain if this is Cuomo ’ s way of telling his side of the story but the failure by New York state leadership to mitigate the spread of the virus to those most susceptible , specifically the elderly , was astonishing .
In fact , if it wasn ’ t for Fox News senior Meteorologist Janice Dean , along with other New York families , demanding answers from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ essentially rehab those who had been infected with the novel coronavirus in nursing homes the story may have disappeared .
The announcement on Tuesday by Cuomo ’ s publicist , however , was so out of place .

On Monday night , President Donald Trump said he would have a pardon announcement coming Tuesday .
According to the @ @ @ @ @ going to pardon women ’ s suffrage activist Susan B. Anthony .

In a recent development, the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, along with two associates, find themselves at the center of a high-profile case involving human trafficking allegations.
The charges leveled against them indicate the formation of an organized criminal group in 2021 with the intent to carry out human trafficking operations not only in Romania but also in the United States and the United Kingdom, according to the BBC.
The investigation, which led to their arrest in December last year, has culminated in an indictment filed with the Bucharest court. According to the indictment, the Tate brothers are accused of luring their victims with false promises of love and marriage. Seven individuals have been identified as alleged victims, who were later coerced and subjected to a harrowing ordeal.
Prosecutors contend that the victims were taken to locations in Ilfov county, Romania, where they faced constant surveillance, intimidation, and control. The defendants allegedly forced the victims into debt and coerced them into participating in pornographic activities, with the explicit material subsequently shared on social media platforms. Shockingly, one of the defendants is accused of raping a woman on two occasions in March 2022, further amplifying the gravity of the charges.
While the trial is not expected to commence immediately, as a Romanian judge is granted 60 days to inspect the case files, it is anticipated to be a protracted legal battle. The complexity of the case and the severity of the charges will undoubtedly result in a lengthy trial process, with several years potentially passing before a verdict is reached.
Representatives for the Tate brothers released a statement acknowledging the unsurprising nature of the news but maintaining their belief in their innocence.
As reported by the BBC, the Tate brothers media team stared, “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”
They expressed their eagerness to present a comprehensive body of evidence meticulously collected over time, which they believe will substantiate their claims of innocence and restore their tarnished reputation.
However, it should be noted that additional charges, such as money laundering and trafficking of minors, are still under investigation. If evidence is uncovered to support these allegations, a separate indictment could be filed, further complicating the legal proceedings for the defendants.
Andrew Tate, who gained notoriety through his participation in the reality television show Big Brother, has a controversial past, having been removed from the show in 2016 following a video that appeared to depict him assaulting a woman.
Despite subsequent bans on social media platforms due to his contentious statements, he has managed to amass a following, particularly among young men, by promoting an ostentatious and hyper-masculine lifestyle.
As the case unfolds, public attention will undoubtedly be drawn to the trial, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome and hoping for justice to be served for the alleged victims. The complex web of charges and the high-profile nature of the defendants ensure that this trial will be closely monitored and scrutinized by the media and the public alike.

FBI Lawyer Pleads Guilty To Altering FISA Warrant Could Face Up To Six Month Prison Sentence. You Would Never Get This Deal.

The FBI lawyer who admitted to altering the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant that allowed the bureau to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page , pleaded guilty Wednesday to a federal judge and will be sentenced to up to six months or less in prison in early December .
You would never get this kind of deal .
This my friends is the DOJ throwing us a bone and hoping we forget the bigger picture .
Again , I hope I ’ m wrong .
FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith , who purposefully omitted information on Page from the 2017 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Surveillance Court , known as the FISC , pleaded guilty to the altering the documents in a telephone call with his lawyers .
Judge James E. Boasberg of the federal district court in Washington , D.C.who oversees the case reminded Clinesmith that he had the right to a trial by jury , which Clinesmith declined .
Boasberg accepted his guilty plea Wednesday and scheduled a Dec. 10 , sentencing hearing .
Clinesmith ’ s lawyers reiterated that their client deeply regretted his actions which were not intentional but none-the-less were in violation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s talk about what Clinesmith did and think about what would happen to you if you lied on a document like a FISA warrant ?
Wait , look at what happened to Trump friend and advisor Roger Stone who was accused of lying to Congress ( by the way , former CIA director John Brennan , former DNI James Clapper and a litany of other blatantly lied to Congress and are now selling books on Amazon ) .
Clinesmith didn ’ t just tell a small lie , he specifically omitted information that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidential campaign for political reasons .
He had worked at the FBI for four years and was a subordinate that was made the fall guy by FBI leadership .
He altered an email he received from the CIA in 2017 that showed Page was in no way a Russian asset and that he was an asset for the CIA .
The Judges at the FISC court approved the application to wiretap Page , according to court records and numerous investigations .
He altered an official government email indicating that Page wasn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when it originally said he was .
WOW !
Folks , that is no small crime .
More than 100 participants listened in to the court ‘ plea agreement hearing ’ Wednesday and listened as Clinesmith waived his right to a trial by jury .
He is expected to get only six months or less for altering the FISA application , which is considered one of the most classified documents pertaining to national security and its contents must be validated thoroughly by the FBI before being submitted to the court .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve already talked about your jury rights , ” said Boasberg .
He then said do you understand your decision to waive your rights to a jury ?
” What about all those above Clinesmith , who absolutely ordered him to operate the way he did and who tacitly approved his omission in the FISA application .
Clinesmith is nothing more than the fall guy .
He ’ ll serve a short sentence for a massive crime against our nation and duly elected president .
I , however , won ’ t be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the malfeasance and attempted coup .
It may never happen but at least we know now that the gig is up and that there will be two sets of rules at the Justice Department : one for the elite bureaucrats and another for the American people .

Clinesmith’s lawyers reiterated that their client deeply regretted his actions which were not intentional but none-the-less were in violation of the law.
What? Let’s talk about what Clinesmith did and think about what would happen to you if you lied on a document like a FISA warrant? Wait, look at what happened to Trump friend and advisor Roger Stone who was accused of lying to Congress (by the way, former CIA director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper and a litany of other blatantly lied to Congress and are now selling books on Amazon).
Clinesmith didn’t just tell a small lie, he specifically omitted information that allowed the FBI to spy on a presidential campaign for political reasons. He had worked at the FBI for four years and was a subordinate that was made the fall guy by FBI leadership.
He altered an email he received from the CIA in 2017 that showed Page was in no way a Russian asset and that he was an asset for the CIA.
The Judges at the FISC court approved the application to wiretap Page, according to court records and numerous investigations. He altered an official government email indicating that Page wasn’t “a source” for the CIA, when it originally said he was. WOW!
Folks, that is no small crime.
More than 100 participants listened in to the court ‘plea agreement hearing’ Wednesday and listened as Clinesmith waived his right to a trial by jury.
He is expected to get only six months or less for altering the FISA application, which is considered one of the most classified documents pertaining to national security and its contents must be validated thoroughly by the FBI before being submitted to the court.
“Mr. Clinesmith you understand we’ve already talked about your jury rights,” said Boasberg. He then said do you understand your decision to waive your rights to a jury?”
“Yes, your honor,” said Clinesmith.
What about all those above Clinesmith, who absolutely ordered him to operate the way he did and who tacitly approved his omission in the FISA application.
Clinesmith is nothing more than the fall guy. He’ll serve a short sentence for a massive crime against our nation and duly elected president.
I, however, won’t be satisfied until those above him pay for the malfeasance and attempted coup. It may never happen but at least we know now that the gig is up and that there will be two sets of rules at the Justice Department: one for the elite bureaucrats and another for the American people.

RussiaGate: FBI Lawyer Expected To Plead Guilty To Altering FISA. Is This Really Justice and Will He?

The FBI lawyer that admitted to altering the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant that gave the bureau permission from the secret court to spy on a former Trump campaign advisor is expected to enter a guilty plea Wednesday at the federal court in Washington D.C .
But what does this really mean ?
And will he ?
FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith is expected to plead guilty to making a false statement in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant .
It is the first criminal case coming from the years long investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham ’ s criminal investigation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its investigation into President Donald Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign .
In fact , Clinesmith failed to include in the FISA that former Trump campaign volunteer and advisor Carter Page had been cleared by the CIA and had in fact , been a trusted asset for the agency .
The failure to include that information led to the court ’ s decision to allow the bureau to spy on Page , all the while the bureau knew that Page was not an asset of the Russian government but instead , he was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Carter , whom this reporter has interviewed numerous times , recently stated that this is the first step toward justice .
His life was turned upside down , his reputation smeared and when false information regarding Carter was leaked to mainstream media outlets early on his life was threatened .
Still , this is the first time that anyone may be paying the price for an attempted coup of a U.S. president .
My concern is that those who directed this investigation , meaning those senior Obama officials , will not be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ m expected , like the rest of America , to believe that something will happen .
We ’ ve been waiting for four years , while Trump campaign officials and those close to him have been dragged through the judicial system and their reputations sullied by main outlets that have rarely ever written a correction to any of their stories .
Over the past four years investigations conducted by Congress , the Justice Department Inspector General and a handful of journalists uncovered that FBI officials had no basis – meaning no predicate – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The entire investigation and the continuing targeting of Trump and his administration were politically motivated and predicated on lies , Republican congressional investigators , senior lawmakers and former U.S. officials have told this reporter .
“ Obama officials weaponized the system to target Trump and the system itself is mired in corruption so you tell me is anyone going to be held accountable , ” said a former senior U.S. intelligence official .
“ The only way anyone gets held accountable is if the DOJ lives up to lady justice and that doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clinesmith is only one of numerous FBI officials that were part of the bureau ’ s Washington Field Office and New York Field Office investigators looking into the Trump campaign .
The malfeasance has been wide spread and senior level FBI officials have been fired , retired or have decided to unexpectedly leave their long careers at the bureau .
However , none have been indicted .
These bureaucratic careerists who targeted a President have instead sold books or taken jobs as contributors for major television cable networks .
Fired FBI Director James @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McCabe , former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and retired CIA Director John Brennan [ all involved in the FBI ’ s and intelligence community ’ s investigation into Trump ] have all written books and allegedly received big advancements .
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper , who was discovered to have leaked the information on the January , 2017 debriefing of the dodgy dossier and its malicious contents to CNN reporter Jake Tapper , is now working for CNN .
In fact , the investigation was , according to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information compiled into a dossier by former British spy Christopher Steele , who was hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to investigate a political opponent .
His dossier has been discovered to be based on Russian disinformation and completely false evidence that smeared Trump and all those who supported him .
Prosecutor and columnist Andrew McCarthy wrote a recent piece for National Review regarding Clinesmith that I tend to agree with and it raises a number of concerns : Is Kevin Clinesmith willing to allocute ?
Is he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deceived his FBI colleagues and a federal court ?
The lack of clear answers to those questions is almost certainly the sticking point — the reason why , to this moment , there is only a false-statement chargeagainst the former Bureau lawyer , not a false-statement guilty plea .
When it comes time to allocute , the court must ensure that the accused acknowledges committing the acts alleged and , just as significantly , doing so with the level of criminal intent prescribed in the relevant penal statute — the mens rea of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not admit guilt , and evince that he is doing so voluntarily and in full awareness of the possible consequences , then the judge should not accept the guilty plea .
After all , such a plea involves a waiver of constitutional and statutory rights — to due process , to putting the prosecution to its burden of proving all elements of the charge beyond a reasonable doubt at trial , to appeal .
The plea further subjects the accused to potential imprisonment and significant fines ; and the allocution itself could subject @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if he lies while under oath .
It will be interesting to see what happens today in the courtroom with Clinesmith but if the Justice Department believes prosecuting those at the FBI ’ s bottom of the barrel will be enough for the American people , those charged with the prosecutions will be sadly mistaken and Justice will not be served .
In fact , if those former senior Obama officials are not held accountable then I believe that Lady Justice has left our shores .

Odeh was convicted of terrorism for her part in the 1969 Jerusalem supermarket bombing that killed two young Israeli students .
