Is The Draft Coming Back?

During recent increased US-Iran confrontation , so many people viewed the Selective Service website to find out about the draft that the website crashed .

Flashback — 1973: Communist Bernie Sanders Condemned American Actions in Vietnam as ‘Almost as Bad as Hitler’
Bernie Sanders is a dangerous man.
His communist ideals are supported by too many Americans and that is beyond frightening.
Let’s flash back to 1972, when Sanders was running for Governor of Vermont.
From The Free Beacon:
As antiwar sentiment spread across the country in the early 1970s, a young Bernie Sanders accused the United States of committing atrocities on par with those of Nazi Germany, saying U.S. military action in Vietnam was “almost as bad as what Hitler did.”
Speaking to a class of ninth graders during his 1972 gubernatorial run in Vermont, Sanders accused the United States of committing atrocities the students would not believe and defended the communist North Vietnamese fighters, according to reporting in the Rutland Herald, a Vermont newspaper. Sanders compared U.S. actions in Vietnam to those of Adolf Hitler, who murdered some six million Jews.
The American military undertook actions that were “almost as bad as what Hitler did,” the paper quoted Sanders as saying to the class of around 30 students at Rutland Junior High School.
Sanders, who declared himself a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War, said during his remarks to the class that the North Vietnamese were not his enemy. “They’re a very, very poor people. Some of them don’t have shoes,” Sanders said. “They eat rice when they can get it. And they have been fighting for the freedom of their country for 25 years. They can hardly fight back.”
More than 58,000 American military members died or went missing in the Vietnam War.
Sanders’s past is facing increased scrutiny as he has surged to frontrunner status ahead of the Iowa caucus next week. Sanders has already courted controversy for hiring several individuals who have espoused anti-Israel views. The Washington Free Beacon reported on Tuesday, for instance, that a top Sanders campaign surrogate had claimed the United States orchestrated the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City.
Sanders prefaced his remarks to the students with a warning, according to the paper. “Some things I’m going to say may upset you,” he said. “But I have to say them.”

I personally happen to agree with Bernie that America probably orchestrated, or at least helped orchestrate, 9/11.
However, his pro-communist, anti-American, talk is out of line.
Frontpagemag has this:
The 2nd ranking Dem 2020 candidate really hates America.
Adam Kredo at the Free Beacon uncovered an old article from Bernie’s 1972 race in which he addressed a class of 9th graders.
What did he tell Mrs. Shirley Smith’s 9th grade class?
“He told the students that a few rich, powerful individuals control many events in the country, such as the Indo-China war, which he condemned for the United States as “almost as bad as what Hitler did.”
The North Vietnamese, Sanders declared, “They’re a very, very poor people. Some of them don’t have shoes,” Sanders said. “They eat rice when they can get it. And they have been fighting for the freedom of their country for 25 years. They can hardly fight back.”
Speaking of atrocities in the war, he often interspersed his remarks with, “Most of you won’t believe me.”
This Communist freakshow certainly has come a long way. And that says more about the Democrats than it does about him.
#####
Does Bernie Sanders hate America?
He certainly hates FREE America.
If Bernie had his way he’d kill many of us to save the planet for himself and other lock-stepping communists.
Bernie Sanders’ popularity is a glaring example of how far America has fallen.
He is nearly a polar opposite to President Donald Trump.
Trump seems to overstep his office at times but still continues to embrace God, Family and Country.
Bernie is a full-blown communist who intends to reshape America by his mandate and NOT the will of the people.
Have faith, America.
Bernie may be popular with Democrats, but he doesn’t pack arenas like Trump.
Freedom is still winning but seems to be losing ground.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-04--Former Lee County Sheriff Calls Out Lazy, Corrupt FDLE Regarding Investigation Of Lee County Sheriff

Former Lee County Sheriff Calls Out Lazy , Corrupt FDLE Regarding Investigation Of Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno & Calls On Criminal Justice Professionalism Division To Pull His Certification Of course , Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno wishes this whole thing would go away , just like Governor Ron DeSantis , Attorney General Ashley Moody , State Attorney Amira Fox and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement , but with the latest failure of FDLE to properly investigate the claims and documentation from former Lee County Sheriff Rodney Shoap , it looks like they are now complicit in a full-fledged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Sheriff Shoap wrote a letter to call on the director of FDLE ’ s CJPD Dean Register in a letter on Monday to pull Marceno ’ s certification .
The following is the text of the letter Shoap provided to The Sons Of Liberty Media .
To update you , I filed a complaint with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement against Lee County Sheriff , Carmine Marceno .
The nature of my complaint was that he fraudulently obtained a Florida police certification and has been using it for about 17 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filing the same complaint with you and asking that Marceno ’ s certification be removed permanently .
A couple of weeks ago the Executive Investigations Unit cleared Sheriff Marceno based on lack of criminal predicate to move the investigation further .
To this date I don ’ t know what that means since I was never contacted and have only read their summary investigation .
Getting a complete copy of the investigation seems to be difficult since they have had computer problems and they are overwhelmed by the number of requests for that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was the complainant , someone would contact me but they did not ; and , I have information that may have helped them obtain authenticated records .
I would like to organize the information into numbered paragraphs for you .
• By introduction , I have over 30 years of law enforcement and public safety experience .
That experience includes retiring as the Sheriff of Lee County , Florida ; serving as the Director of Planning and Research for the Williamson County Sheriff ’ s Office located in Franklin , Tennessee ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ County , Tennessee General Sessions Court ; and , serving as the Police Chief for the City of Crossville , Tennessee ; • Sheriff Marceno received his position from Senator Rick Scott , when he was the Florida Governor and when Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott retired early .
It was purely a political appointment since I believe Marceno was never vetted for the position .
Other more qualified applicants were overlooked who had college degrees , actual command experience and one had been an elected Sheriff with prior experience .
But they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his certification , issues with prior law enforcement employment applications and a man who ran from the news crews at FOX 4 television in Cape Coral , Florida so he would not have to answer questions .
In addition , Marceno refuses to give FOX 4 an interview to discuss his issues .
News stories detailing this issue can be found on the FOX 4 website ; • As I looked at the FDLE criminal investigation summary , I find it conflicts with actual evidence .
I believe the investigator ( s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sent them copies of .
They contacted the Suffolk County , New York government and were told the records/evidence had all been destroyed due to age .
However , last year FOX 4 news reporter , Frank Cipolla ( contactsmedia.com ) filed a Freedom of Information Act ( FOIA ) request and received payroll records and Human Resource Registration Form .
Since that information was obtained last year , you can also retrieve the same records/evidence by referring to that request .
Cipolla can be reached at the website above ; • Brown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Police Academy located at St. Petersburg , Florida Junior College , signed the FDLE Form 76 for Carmine Marceno .
According to Mr. Brown ’ s statement , he said he had no specific recollection of Marceno ’ s case .
However , after being questioned about Marceno only a part time police officer with Suffolk County Park Police , how Marceno had one full year of full time public safety experience , Brown stated that he added up the part time experience and converted it to full time experience and it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paraphrased ) .
The Federal Wage and Hour Division defines full time employment as someone employed providing services to an employer averaging 30 hours weekly ; or , 130 hours monthly or , 1,560 hour annually .
The Internal Revenue Service and the State of Florida use the same definition .
I have copies of payroll records for Sheriff Marceno when he was employed by Suffolk County Park Police .
The dates match his employment records for all employment applications completed by Marceno .
Marceno worked 16 weeks out of 72 in which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 3 months out of 17 in which he had 130 hours or more ; and , he totaled 1,246.5 hours during the entire 17 month period , not 12 months or even the calendar year .
Marceno averaged 17.31 hours per week and this is far from full time service .
I have copies of the payroll records I will furnish with this request and the breakdown I prepared in an easy to follow format .
So while Marceno did meet requirement one ( 1 ) for Form 76 of completing a recognized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ requirement two ( 2 ) of 12 full months of full time public safety experience and the form was either a mistake or an intentional fraud .
• When Sheriff Marceno was employed by Suffolk County he completed an Article 15 Human Resource Retirement Registration form .
The form registers Marceno as Part Time Seasonal in section 7 and on line 10 he is listed as a Park Ranger Seasonal .
The FDLE investigator spoke with the Deputy Director of the Suffolk County Park Police .
According to the investigation , the Deputy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Marceno was employed by the Park Police and that Marceno reported to him for two years .
Hr further said that Marceno was a full time employee but the records clearly do not reflect that nor does Marceno ’ s own words .
Marceno has never publicly claimed to have been a full time Park Ranger that I am aware of , other than to perhaps told Mr. Brown that .
On Marceno ’ s payroll form dated 09/16/99 it is clearly written part time money and it give the line item number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because of his FDLE Form 76 , the Equivalency of Training ( EOT ) , is hired by the Naples Police Department .
Marceno has one year to train and pass the state exam .
However , Marceno takes the exam two times and fails on both attempt .
Since there is not enough time left on the year of EOT , the Police Chief terminates Marceno ’ s employment .
Marceno now has to attend academy classes but we find no record of that happening .
What mystifies his certification is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Florida police academy are found .
We do not know how he was able to take the exam the third time , when it was passed .
We do know that he took the test twice using a fraudulent mistaken/FDLE Form 76 .
During the FDLE investigation , the agent asked Marceno is he purposely gave false information and he replied , ” No.
” I think he replied a second time , ‘ Not Knowingly.
’ ( Paraphrased ) .
• On his employment application with the Collier County Sheriff ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not recommend Marceno ’ s employment due to their drug use policies and no one takes account for his hiring .
• On his employment application for the Lee County Sheriff ’ s Office , we found on Page-9 , marked Previous Employment , he left blank his part time/full time service at Suffolk County .
He completed the same blank for other employment and even left out other employment records .
I suspect this was intentional due to the surrounding issue of this letter , but Marceno denies it .
• Marceno @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shortly was promoted to Chief Deputy .
While in that capacity Marceno used his position to date a victim of a currently being investigated Theft .
As they dated they became sexually involved and routinely had sexual intercourse in his assigned police vehicle .
According to statements of the woman , Deanna Williams , she said she didn ’ t want to go out or have sexual intercourse with him but he told her he would help with her theft case .
Subsequently , Ms. Williams became pregnant and Marceno attempted to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this banter can be found in text messages back and fourth between Ms. Williams on her phone and on Marceno ’ s Sheriff ’ s Office assigned phone .
I am going to conclude now by saying that as a Sheriff I had a deputy who had a fraudulent form 76 and I terminated his employment .
The Commission removed his certification , forever .
The Commission has set precedent with numerous others having lost their certifications .
Even if FDLE is unable/unwilling , whatever the case may be , to criminally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be removed .
It won ’ t stop him from being an appointed Sheriff , but it can stop him from making arrests and perhaps remove some liabilities .
It is clear that based on the evidence and witness statements that significant conflict exists .
In my opinion , Marceno was never qualified to take the exam to begin with and a correction is due .
Please contact me if I can provide additional information .
Included in the letter was a two-page , eight-point bulletin of the evidence submitted for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as I have already reported .
The points Shoap referenced were as follows : • Clearly marked compliant with both requirements of ( 1 ) passing a FDLE recognized out of state academy and ( 2 ) have served a public safety organization for 12 full months as a full time employee .
Marceno has never served as a full time employee of a public safety agency as of the time of this form being signed .
• Summary of hours worked at the Suffolk County Police Department by Carmine Marceno , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signed .
• Of the entire 17 months employed as of the signing of FDLE Form 76 , Marceno worked 16 weeks of 72 with 30 or more hours , 3 months out of 17 with 130 or more hours and a total of 1,246.5 hours for the entire 17 months all in conflict with Federal Wage & Hour rules for full time employment .
• This summary was prepared by Retired Florida Sheriff Rodney Shoap based on payroll forms submitted by Suffolk County , New York .
• Payroll forms for Carmine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Suffolk County Park Police .
• These forms show employment for Marceno before he filed for EOT and his return following his EOT .
Regardless , all employment was part time as evidenced by payroll forms .
• Two forms for Carmine Marceno depicting hours worked while employed with Suffolk County Park Police .
• Two payroll forms for Carmine Marceno depicting hours worked while employed by Suffolk County Park Police .
Both forms show the part time budgetary line item Marceno ’ s pay came from listed as : 76-7113 .
• @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Line 10 lists Marceno as a Park Ranger I and Seasonal .
• According to the file and Marceno ’ s training Sergeant , Marceno failed his two attempts at passing the Florida Police Officers certification exam that are granted by FDLE Form 76 and was terminated for lack of time to attend the police academy and retake the exam .
• Blank depicting part time/full time employment at Suffolk County left blank .
All others were marked correctly .
Other previous employment was also left out .
• Copies of text @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carmine Marceno and Ms. Deanna Williams , concerning her pregnancy with Marceno ’ s child .
I received these from Ms. Williams and she is more than willing to make original copies for you or show them to you on her phone .
• At the time of this dating and sexual intercourse , Ms. Williams was the victim and had reported a Theft of six figures .
According to Ms. Williams statement Marceno told her he would help her with her case ( found in text messages as well ) and she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He used his department car to discuss her case as they drove around and he had sexual intercourse with her while in that car , assigned to him by the county as an official police vehicle .
No explanation has been given to the massive weight of evidence against Marceno , and Shoap is demanding that Marceno ’ s certification be pulled .
The question is , why ?
This story isn ’ t over by long shot and before it ’ s through , we may just find evidence of corruption right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wait , I think we already have .

Former Lee County Sheriff Calls Out Lazy, Corrupt FDLE Regarding Investigation Of Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno & Calls On Criminal Justice Professionalism Division To Pull His Certification
Of course, Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno wishes this whole thing would go away, just like Governor Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, State Attorney Amira Fox and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, but with the latest failure of FDLE to properly investigate the claims and documentation from former Lee County Sheriff Rodney Shoap, it looks like they are now complicit in a full-fledged coverup of Marceno’s crimes; and Sheriff Shoap wrote a letter to call on the director of FDLE’s CJPD Dean Register in a letter on Monday to pull Marceno’s certification.
The following is the text of the letter Shoap provided to The Sons Of Liberty Media.
To update you, I filed a complaint with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement against Lee County Sheriff, Carmine Marceno.

I would like to organize the information into numbered paragraphs for you.
By introduction, I have over 30 years of law enforcement and public safety experience. That experience includes retiring as the Sheriff of Lee County, Florida; serving as the Director of Planning and Research for the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office located in Franklin, Tennessee; serving as a Magistrate for the Maury County, Tennessee General Sessions Court; and, serving as the Police Chief for the City of Crossville, Tennessee;
Sheriff Marceno received his position from Senator Rick Scott, when he was the Florida Governor and when Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott retired early. It was purely a political appointment since I believe Marceno was never vetted for the position. Other more qualified applicants were overlooked who had college degrees, actual command experience and one had been an elected Sheriff with prior experience. But they were overlooked for Marceno who has issues with his certification, issues with prior law enforcement employment applications and a man who ran from the news crews at FOX 4 television in Cape Coral, Florida so he would not have to answer questions. In addition, Marceno refuses to give FOX 4 an interview to discuss his issues. News stories detailing this issue can be found on the FOX 4 website;
As I looked at the FDLE criminal investigation summary, I find it conflicts with actual evidence. I believe the investigator(s) had issues authenticating the evidence I sent them copies of. They contacted the Suffolk County, New York government and were told the records/evidence had all been destroyed due to age. However, last year FOX 4 news reporter, Frank Cipolla (contactsmedia.com) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and received payroll records and Human Resource Registration Form. Since that information was obtained last year, you can also retrieve the same records/evidence by referring to that request. Cipolla can be reached at the website above;
Brown, a PASS background investigator at the Police Academy located at St. Petersburg, Florida Junior College, signed the FDLE Form 76 for Carmine Marceno. According to Mr. Brown’s statement, he said he had no specific recollection of Marceno’s case. However, after being questioned about Marceno only a part time police officer with Suffolk County Park Police, how Marceno had one full year of full time public safety experience, Brown stated that he added up the part time experience and converted it to full time experience and it was the equivalent of one full year (Paraphrased).
The Federal Wage and Hour Division defines full time employment as someone employed providing services to an employer averaging 30 hours weekly; or, 130 hours monthly or, 1,560 hour annually. The Internal Revenue Service and the State of Florida use the same definition.
I have copies of payroll records for Sheriff Marceno when he was employed by Suffolk County Park Police. The dates match his employment records for all employment applications completed by Marceno. Marceno worked 16 weeks out of 72 in which he had 30 hours or more; 3 months out of 17 in which he had 130 hours or more; and, he totaled 1,246.5 hours during the entire 17 month period, not 12 months or even the calendar year. Marceno averaged 17.31 hours per week and this is far from full time service. I have copies of the payroll records I will furnish with this request and the breakdown I prepared in an easy to follow format.
So while Marceno did meet requirement one (1) for Form 76 of completing a recognized police academy, he did not meet requirement two (2) of 12 full months of full time public safety experience and the form was either a mistake or an intentional fraud.
When Sheriff Marceno was employed by Suffolk County he completed an Article 15 Human Resource Retirement Registration form. The form registers Marceno as Part Time Seasonal in section 7 and on line 10 he is listed as a Park Ranger Seasonal.
The FDLE investigator spoke with the Deputy Director of the Suffolk County Park Police. According to the investigation, the Deputy Director said he was his Sergeant when Marceno was employed by the Park Police and that Marceno reported to him for two years. Hr further said that Marceno was a full time employee but the records clearly do not reflect that nor does Marceno’s own words. Marceno has never publicly claimed to have been a full time Park Ranger that I am aware of, other than to perhaps told Mr. Brown that.
On Marceno’s payroll form dated 09/16/99 it is clearly written part time money and it give the line item number 76-7113.
Ultimately Carmine Marceno, because of his FDLE Form 76, the Equivalency of Training (EOT), is hired by the Naples Police Department. Marceno has one year to train and pass the state exam. However, Marceno takes the exam two times and fails on both attempt. Since there is not enough time left on the year of EOT, the Police Chief terminates Marceno’s employment.
Marceno now has to attend academy classes but we find no record of that happening. What mystifies his certification is that no record of Marceno attending classes at a Florida police academy are found. We do not know how he was able to take the exam the third time, when it was passed. We do know that he took the test twice using a fraudulent mistaken/FDLE Form 76.
During the FDLE investigation, the agent asked Marceno is he purposely gave false information and he replied, ”No.” I think he replied a second time, ‘Not Knowingly.’ (Paraphrased).
On his employment application with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, the background investigators did not recommend Marceno’s employment due to their drug use policies and no one takes account for his hiring.
On his employment application for the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, we found on Page-9, marked Previous Employment, he left blank his part time/full time service at Suffolk County. He completed the same blank for other employment and even left out other employment records. I suspect this was intentional due to the surrounding issue of this letter, but Marceno denies it.
Marceno was appointed by Sheriff Mike Scott and shortly was promoted to Chief Deputy. While in that capacity Marceno used his position to date a victim of a currently being investigated Theft. As they dated they became sexually involved and routinely had sexual intercourse in his assigned police vehicle. According to statements of the woman, Deanna Williams, she said she didn’t want to go out or have sexual intercourse with him but he told her he would help with her theft case. Subsequently, Ms. Williams became pregnant and Marceno attempted to get her to have an abortion. All of this banter can be found in text messages back and fourth between Ms. Williams on her phone and on Marceno’s Sheriff’s Office assigned phone.
I am going to conclude now by saying that as a Sheriff I had a deputy who had a fraudulent form 76 and I terminated his employment. The Commission removed his certification, forever. The Commission has set precedent with numerous others having lost their certifications. Even if FDLE is unable/unwilling, whatever the case may be, to criminally sanction this man, perhaps his certification can be removed. It won’t stop him from being an appointed Sheriff, but it can stop him from making arrests and perhaps remove some liabilities.
It is clear that based on the evidence and witness statements that significant conflict exists. In my opinion, Marceno was never qualified to take the exam to begin with and a correction is due.
Please contact me if I can provide additional information.
Sincerely,
Rodney Shoap
Included in the letter was a two-page, eight-point bulletin of the evidence submitted for the Marceno investigation that clearly was not performed, as I have already reported.
The points Shoap referenced were as follows:
FDLE Form 76 for Carmine Marceno, signed by PASS background investigator John Brown.
Clearly marked compliant with both requirements of (1) passing a FDLE recognized out of state academy and (2) have served a public safety organization for 12 full months as a full time employee. Conflict: Marceno has never served as a full time employee of a public safety agency as of the time of this form being signed.
Summary of hours worked at the Suffolk County Police Department by Carmine Marceno, prior to the FDLE Form 76 being signed.
Conflict: Of the entire 17 months employed as of the signing of FDLE Form 76, Marceno worked 16 weeks of 72 with 30 or more hours, 3 months out of 17 with 130 or more hours and a total of 1,246.5 hours for the entire 17 months all in conflict with Federal Wage & Hour rules for full time employment.
This summary was prepared by Retired Florida Sheriff Rodney Shoap based on payroll forms submitted by Suffolk County, New York.
Payroll forms for Carmine Marceno depicting hours worked while employed with Suffolk County Park Police.
These forms show employment for Marceno before he filed for EOT and his return following his EOT. Regardless, all employment was part time as evidenced by payroll forms.
Two forms for Carmine Marceno depicting hours worked while employed with Suffolk County Park Police.
Conflict: Two payroll forms for Carmine Marceno depicting hours worked while employed by Suffolk County Park Police. Both forms show the part time budgetary line item Marceno’s pay came from listed as: 76-7113.
Suffolk County Park Police Human Resource Article 15 Union Membership Form for Carmine Marceno.
Conflict: Line 7 lists Marceno as Part Time/Seasonal. Line 10 lists Marceno as a Park Ranger I and Seasonal.
Copy of Marceno’s employment termination form from Naples Police Department.
Conflict : According to the file and Marceno’s training Sergeant, Marceno failed his two attempts at passing the Florida Police Officers certification exam that are granted by FDLE Form 76 and was terminated for lack of time to attend the police academy and retake the exam.
Lee County Sheriff’s Office Page-9 (Employment History) of the employment application.
Conflict: Blank depicting part time/full time employment at Suffolk County left blank. All others were marked correctly. Other previous employment was also left out.
Copies of text messages sent back and forth, between Carmine Marceno and Ms. Deanna Williams, concerning her pregnancy with Marceno’s child. I received these from Ms. Williams and she is more than willing to make original copies for you or show them to you on her phone.
Conflict: At the time of this dating and sexual intercourse, Ms. Williams was the victim and had reported a Theft of six figures. According to Ms. Williams statement Marceno told her he would help her with her case (found in text messages as well) and she dated him only for that reason. He used his department car to discuss her case as they drove around and he had sexual intercourse with her while in that car, assigned to him by the county as an official police vehicle.
No explanation has been given to the massive weight of evidence against Marceno, and Shoap is demanding that Marceno’s certification be pulled.
The question is, why?
This story isn’t over by long shot and before it’s through, we may just find evidence of corruption right up into the governor’s mansion… wait, I think we already have.
For my previous reports with full documentation on Marceno and the corruption in Lee County, including the case of Deanna Williams, see below.

OK, for the record, I don’t even waste my time with sporting events. While I played sports in junior high school and as a young adult, I simply don’t have time for them now. However, it’s interesting that sports has become the bread and circus of Rome in America today. Along with that comes a lot of things that war not only against God, but against our Republic, including occultism and lewdness. Meanwhile, ads that advocated for human life were rejected while ads with drag queens were accepted.
This year’s Super Bowl LIV halftime show didn’t disappoint.
Headlining the halftime show were Shakira & Jennifer Lopez.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-04--FBI Has Been Lying About Seth Rich:  Emails Reveal Possible Connection Between Peter Strzok & Rich

OK , when I write “ Possible Connection ” in the headline , I simply mean they are connected in some way .
I don ’ t mean they conspired or anything like that .
In fact , the documents will demonstrate there was some sort of connection between Peter Strzok and Seth Rich in email form , but due to the nature of the multitude of redactions , we can ’ t quite determine what that is except that he is the subject of an email that was contained in a fulfillment of a Freedom of Information Act request @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from December 2017 , it was theorized the Strzok was former FBI Director James Comey ’ s “ hitman , ” and the question arose whether or not he had anything to do with the murder of Seth Rich .
Specifically , it had become known to Comey that Rich was the source for the WikiLeaks revelations that eventually destroyed Hillary ’ s campaign .
More important personally to Comey was the threat Rich posed to the lie that the FBI director had constructed in order to defend his actions in exonerating Hillary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was going to expose the entire Russian hacking claim as a sham and Comey couldn ’ t countenance that .
If Strzok was in the loop he knew exactly what had to be done .
Now , my point here is not to validate the website that posted this , but rather to simply document that this was part of a working theory a couple of years ago , and despite the adamant claims of outlets like Newsguard , the police only theorize that Rich was killed during an apparent robbery , though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been apprehended and brought to justice .
A theory , reality does not make , Newsguard .
• Seth Rich Bombshell : Lawsuit Indicates Seth Rich & Brother Were Leakers Of DNC Emails To Wikileaks • Attorney Who Sued DNC For Fraud Claims Seth Rich and Shawn Lucas Were Witnesses In His Case • Why Won ’ t the DNC Release Evidence of Seth Rich ’ s Ties to Wikileaks ?
With that said , here are the documents obtained by Judicial Watch .
Craig Murray at Consortium News writes on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concerning Seth Rich and documents they had in their possession .
A persistent American lawyer has uncovered the undeniable fact that the FBI has been continuously lying , including giving false testimony in court , in response to Freedom of Information Act requests for its records on Seth Rich , a young employee of the Democratic National Committee who was murdered in July 2016 .
The FBI has previously given affidavits that it has no records regarding Seth Rich .
A Freedom of Information request to the FBI which did not mention Seth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ correspondence between FBI Head of Counterterrorism Peter Strzok , who headed the investigation into the DNC leaks and WikiLeaks , and FBI attorney Lisa Page , has revealed two pages of emails which do not merely mention Seth Rich but have “ Seth Rich ” as their heading .
The emails were provided in , to say the least , heavily redacted form .
Before I analyze these particular emails , I should make plain that they are not the major point .
The major point is that the FBI claimed it had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these have come to light in response to a different FOIA request that was not about him .
What other falsely denied documents does the FBI hold about Rich , that were not fortuitously picked up by a search for correspondence between two named individuals ?

Hardy in two affidavits [ click here and here ] filed in the FOIA case identified above [ i.e.
, Ty Clevenger v. U.S. Department of Justice , et al.
, Civil Action No .
18-CV-01568 ] .
I requested FBI records pertaining to Seth Rich , who allegedly was the source of Democratic National Committee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather than Russian hackers ) .
In the affidavits ( attached to the email version of this letter ) , Mr. Hardy testified that his office conducted a reasonable search , and it found no responsive records .
New evidence proves otherwise , and it appears that Mr. Hardy has perpetrated a fraud on the court .
Judicial Watch recently published documents that it obtained in response to a FOIA request for communications between former FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page ( https : //www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/JW-v-DOJ-Strzok-Page-Prod-16-00154.pdf ) , and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In those pages , you will find a heavily-redacted email discussion regarding Mr. Rich .
Note that the header on those emails is “ Seth Rich.
” I defy Mr. Hardy to provide an innocent explanation for his office ’ s failure to produce these emails , and I suspect the misconduct reaches far beyond my specific FOIA request .
Several facts are worth noting : * Mr. Hardy touts the reasonableness of relying on the FBI ’ s Central Records System ( “ CRS ” ) , but note that CRS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That sort of half-baked , designed-to-fail search methodology would never be tolerated in litigation among private parties , yet it appears to be standard operating procedure at the FBI .
And note that when I asked the FBI to search its email systems , it arbitrarily refused .
* Mr. Hardy ’ s staff purportedly searched for “ Seth Conrad Rich ” but failed to search for “ Seth Rich , ” another tactic designed to exclude responsive records .
* According to Mr. Hardy ’ s affidavit , the only records @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manually designated by FBI personnel .
Undoubtedly , FBI personnel know that they can immunize their email communications from FOIA requests simply by omitting the subject matter from the CRS , because Mr. Hardy will subsequently declare ( 1 ) that a CRS search is sufficient and ( 2 ) there is no need to conduct an email search .
I have previously written to Mr. Durham regarding evidence that the FBI was hiding information about Mr. Rich , and I have attached a December 13 , 2019 order issued in Butowsky v. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ E.D .
Tex. )
.
Please see pages 23-29 in particular .
Finally , I have attached an October 8 , 2019 reply in the FOIA case , and it notes a previous occasion wherein Mr. Hardy provided inaccurate information to a court .
It appears that FBI personnel are deliberately hiding records about Seth Rich and deliberately deceiving the court about the reasonableness of their searches for those records .
Worse , this sort of bad-faith non-compliance appears to be the norm .
I request that your respective offices investigate to determine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and whether Mr. Hardy knowingly submitted false affidavits to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York .
Thank you for your consideration .

When you get caught with your pants down , just deny the obvious .
That appears to be the strategy of the FBI , according to a letter I received from this afternoon from the Justice Department .
The letter from Asst .
U.S. Attorney Kathleen Mahoney maintains — despite clear documentary proof to the contrary — that the FBI conducted a “ reasonable search ” for records about Seth Rich , the murdered Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russian hackers ) is alleged to have leaked DNC emails to Wikileaks .
Since your humble correspondent still works a day job ( with lots of deadlines ) , I ’ ll let you read the letter addressed to Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom and analyze it for yourself .
Just click here for the letter , and click here for the exhibits to the letter .
Incidentally , I asked Judicial Watch to provide a declaration authenticating that it received the emails cited above in response to a FOIA request to the FBI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that about ?
I needed the declaration so I could submit the emails as evidence in court ( although Ms. Mahoney ’ s letter obviates that need ) .
In my experience , Judicial Watch likes to hog the spotlight ( specifically the Fox News studio cameras ) and often does not play well with others .
That ’ s unfortunate , because those of us seeking the truth should be working together .
And it ’ s not like I ’ m a threat to JW ’ s multi-million dollar fundraising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , provides some nuggets from the emails .
The opening email , at the bottom , dated 10 August 2016 at 10.32 a.m. , precisely , just one month after the murder of Seth Rich , is from the media handling department of the Washington Field Office .
It references WikiLeaks ’ offer of a reward for information on the murder of Seth Rich , and that Assange seemed to imply Rich was the source of the DNC leaks .
The media handlers are asking the operations side of the FBI field office @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The unredacted part of the reply fits with the official narrative .
The redacted individual officer is “ not aware of any specific involvement ” by the FBI in the Seth Rich case .
But his next sentence is completely redacted .
Why ?
It appears that the word “ adding ” [ in the email with a 12:53 p.m. time stamp ] refers to a new person added to the distribution “ to ” list .
This appears to have not worked , and probably the same person ( precisely same length @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with “ adding … for real ” and blames the technology – “ stupid Samsung.
” The interesting point here is that the person added appears not to be in the FBI – a new redacted addressee does indeed appear , and unlike all the others does not have an FBI suffix after their deleted email address .
So , who are they ?
The fourth email , at 1 p.m. on Wednesday August 10 , 2016 , is much the most interesting .
It is ostensibly also from the Washington Field @ @ @ @ @ @ @ using a different classified email system with a very different time and date format from that of the others .
It is apparently from somebody more senior , as the reply to it is “ will do.
” And every single word of this instruction has been blanked .
The final email , saying that “ I squashed this with ….. ” , is from a new person again , with the shortest name .
That phrase may only have meant I denied this to a journalist , or it may have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the final act in this drama , Strzok then sent the whole thread on to the lawyer , which is why we now have it .
Why ?
Finally , and perhaps this is the most important point , the FBI was at this time supposed to be in the early stages of an investigation into how the DNC emails were leaked to WikiLeaks .
The FBI here believed WikiLeaks to be indicating the material had been leaked by Seth Rich , who had by then been murdered .
Surely in any legitimate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absolutely compelled to check out the truth of this possibility , rather than treat it as a media issue ?
We are asked to believe that not one of these emails says “ well if the publisher of the emails says Seth Rich was the source , we had better check that out , especially as he was murdered with no sign of a suspect.
” If the FBI really did not look at that , why on earth not ?
If the FBI genuinely , as they claim , did not even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that would surely be the most damning fact of all and reveal their “ investigation ” was entirely agenda driven from the start .
In June 2016 a vast cache of the DNC emails was leaked to WikiLeaks .
On July 10 , 2016 , an employee from the location of the leak was murdered without obvious motive , in an alleged street robbery in which nothing at all was stolen .
Not to investigate the possibility of a link between the two incidents would be grossly negligent .
It is worth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ barrage , Bloomingdale — where Rich was murdered — is a very pleasant area of Washington , D.C. —and by no means a murder hotspot .
It is also worth noting that not only is there no suspect in Seth Rich ’ s murder , there has never been any semblance of a serious effort to find the killer .
Washington police appear perfectly happy simply to write this case off .
So far , outlets like Newsguard refuse to correct themselves when attacking those of us who have reported on the Seth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the possible ties to Wikileaks .
Now , it appears the corrupt FBI is also involved .
The question is , what is their involvement and why did they not release these documents the first time they were requested ?
Furthermore , what other documents do the FBI have on this issue that they continue to withhold ?

In a post from December 2017, it was theorized the Strzok was former FBI Director James Comey’s “hitman,” and the question arose whether or not he had anything to do with the murder of Seth Rich.
From The Patriot Crier:
Specifically, it had become known to Comey that Rich was the source for the WikiLeaks revelations that eventually destroyed Hillary’s campaign. More important personally to Comey was the threat Rich posed to the lie that the FBI director had constructed in order to defend his actions in exonerating Hillary and to justify investigating Trump.
Rich was going to expose the entire Russian hacking claim as a sham and Comey couldn’t countenance that. If Strzok was in the loop he knew exactly what had to be done.

Agreed!
As a result of this find, attorney Ty Clevenger wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney John Durham, U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue, and Inspector General Michael Horowitz:
Mr. Durham, Mr. Donoghue and Mr. Horowitz:
I wish to file a criminal complaint regarding false statements made by FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy in two affidavits [click here and here] filed in the FOIA case identified above [i.e., Ty Clevenger v. U.S. Department of Justice, et al., Civil Action No. 18-CV-01568]. I requested FBI records pertaining to Seth Rich, who allegedly was the source of Democratic National Committee emails published by Wikileaks in 2016 (rather than Russian hackers). In the affidavits (attached to the email version of this letter), Mr. Hardy testified that his office conducted a reasonable search, and it found no responsive records.
New evidence proves otherwise, and it appears that Mr. Hardy has perpetrated a fraud on the court. Judicial Watch recently published documents that it obtained in response to a FOIA request for communications between former FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page (https://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/JW-v-DOJ-Strzok-Page-Prod-16-00154.pdf), and I would direct your attention to pages 123-125. In those pages, you will find a heavily-redacted email discussion regarding Mr. Rich. Note that the header on those emails is “Seth Rich.”
I defy Mr. Hardy to provide an innocent explanation for his office’s failure to produce these emails, and I suspect the misconduct reaches far beyond my specific FOIA request. Several facts are worth noting:
* Mr. Hardy touts the reasonableness of relying on the FBI’s Central Records System (“CRS”), but note that CRS does not search the FBI email system. That sort of half-baked, designed-to-fail search methodology would never be tolerated in litigation among private parties, yet it appears to be standard operating procedure at the FBI. And note that when I asked the FBI to search its email systems, it arbitrarily refused.
* Mr. Hardy’s staff purportedly searched for “Seth Conrad Rich” but failed to search for “Seth Rich,” another tactic designed to exclude responsive records.
* According to Mr. Hardy’s affidavit, the only records indexed by CRS are those that are manually designated by FBI personnel. Undoubtedly, FBI personnel know that they can immunize their email communications from FOIA requests simply by omitting the subject matter from the CRS, because Mr. Hardy will subsequently declare (1) that a CRS search is sufficient and (2) there is no need to conduct an email search.
I have previously written to Mr. Durham regarding evidence that the FBI was hiding information about Mr. Rich, and I have attached a December 13, 2019 order issued in Butowsky v. Folkenflik, Case No. 4:18-cv-00442-ALM-CMC (E.D. Tex.). Please see pages 23-29 in particular. Finally, I have attached an October 8, 2019 reply in the FOIA case, and it notes a previous occasion wherein Mr. Hardy provided inaccurate information to a court.
It appears that FBI personnel are deliberately hiding records about Seth Rich and deliberately deceiving the court about the reasonableness of their searches for those records. Worse, this sort of bad-faith non-compliance appears to be the norm.
I request that your respective offices investigate to determine whether responsive information has been withheld intentionally, and whether Mr. Hardy knowingly submitted false affidavits to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Thank you for your consideration.

Clevenger then received a response from the Justice Department, which he blogged about.
When you get caught with your pants down, just deny the obvious. That appears to be the strategy of the FBI, according to a letter I received from this afternoon from the Justice Department.
The letter from Asst. U.S. Attorney Kathleen Mahoney maintains — despite clear documentary proof to the contrary — that the FBI conducted a “reasonable search” for records about Seth Rich, the murdered Democratic National Committee employee who (rather than Russian hackers) is alleged to have leaked DNC emails to Wikileaks.
Since your humble correspondent still works a day job (with lots of deadlines), I’ll let you read the letter addressed to Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom and analyze it for yourself. Just click here for the letter, and click here for the exhibits to the letter.
Incidentally, I asked Judicial Watch to provide a declaration authenticating that it received the emails cited above in response to a FOIA request to the FBI, and Judicial Watch refused. What is that about? I needed the declaration so I could submit the emails as evidence in court (although Ms. Mahoney’s letter obviates that need).
In my experience, Judicial Watch likes to hog the spotlight (specifically the Fox News studio cameras) and often does not play well with others. That’s unfortunate, because those of us seeking the truth should be working together. And it’s not like I’m a threat to JW’s multi-million dollar fundraising operation.
Mr. Murray, mentioned above, provides some nuggets from the emails.
The opening email, at the bottom, dated 10 August 2016 at 10.32 a.m., precisely, just one month after the murder of Seth Rich, is from the media handling department of the Washington Field Office. It references WikiLeaks’ offer of a reward for information on the murder of Seth Rich, and that Assange seemed to imply Rich was the source of the DNC leaks. The media handlers are asking the operations side of the FBI field office for any information on the case. The unredacted part of the reply fits with the official narrative. The redacted individual officer is “not aware of any specific involvement” by the FBI in the Seth Rich case. But his next sentence is completely redacted. Why?
It appears that the word “adding” [in the email with a 12:53 p.m. time stamp] refers to a new person added to the distribution “to” list.
This appears to have not worked, and probably the same person (precisely same length of deleted name) then tries again, with “adding … for real” and blames the technology – “stupid Samsung.”
The interesting point here is that the person added appears not to be in the FBI – a new redacted addressee does indeed appear, and unlike all the others does not have an FBI suffix after their deleted email address. So, who are they?
He added:
The fourth email, at 1 p.m. on Wednesday August 10, 2016, is much the most interesting. It is ostensibly also from the Washington Field Office, but it is from somebody using a different classified email system with a very different time and date format from that of the others. It is apparently from somebody more senior, as the reply to it is “will do.” And every single word of this instruction has been blanked. The final email, saying that “I squashed this with …..”, is from a new person again, with the shortest name. That phrase may only have meant I denied this to a journalist, or it may have been reporting an operational command given.
As the final act in this drama, Strzok then sent the whole thread on to the lawyer, which is why we now have it. Why?
Murray continues:
Finally, and perhaps this is the most important point, the FBI was at this time supposed to be in the early stages of an investigation into how the DNC emails were leaked to WikiLeaks. The FBI here believed WikiLeaks to be indicating the material had been leaked by Seth Rich, who had by then been murdered. Surely in any legitimate investigation, the investigators would have been absolutely compelled to check out the truth of this possibility, rather than treat it as a media issue?
We are asked to believe that not one of these emails says “well if the publisher of the emails says Seth Rich was the source, we had better check that out, especially as he was murdered with no sign of a suspect.” If the FBI really did not look at that, why on earth not? If the FBI genuinely, as they claim, did not even look at the murder of Seth Rich, that would surely be the most damning fact of all and reveal their “investigation” was entirely agenda driven from the start.
In June 2016 a vast cache of the DNC emails was leaked to WikiLeaks. On July 10, 2016, an employee from the location of the leak was murdered without obvious motive, in an alleged street robbery in which nothing at all was stolen. Not to investigate the possibility of a link between the two incidents would be grossly negligent. It is worth adding that, contrary to a propaganda barrage, Bloomingdale — where Rich was murdered — is a very pleasant area of Washington, D.C. —and by no means a murder hotspot. It is also worth noting that not only is there no suspect in Seth Rich’s murder, there has never been any semblance of a serious effort to find the killer. Washington police appear perfectly happy simply to write this case off.
So far, outlets like Newsguard refuse to correct themselves when attacking those of us who have reported on the Seth Rich murder, the drama surrounding it and the possible ties to Wikileaks.
Now, it appears the corrupt FBI is also involved. The question is, what is their involvement and why did they not release these documents the first time they were requested? Furthermore, what other documents do the FBI have on this issue that they continue to withhold?
