FBI Missed Judge’s Deadline To Turn Over Kushner Interview Memos In Mueller Probe

Last week, the FBI did not comply with U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton’s order to give CNN and Buzzfeed News the memos from the agency’s interviews with White House senior adviser Jared Kushner in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

The memos “will be released with the appropriate redactions” afterward, Enlow said without giving an exact timeline.

I think Judge Walton had better take a look at the unredacted memos to be satisfied that the redactions are proper. Something like “after the election, my father-in-law told me to set up a secret back channel communication system with Russia so we could conduct corrupt and criminal activity” is probably not covered by any kind of privilege or national security concern (although it should be part of a sealed indictment).

What a horror that Jared Kushner–small time gangster and full-time grifter–knows anything that the intelligence community is concerned about.

I see you got a preview of the Barr “Summary” of the Kusher Interviews.

They’re checking to see if Jared displayed any intelligence at all during the interviews.

That’s just the response cover page. The reasons for the redactions are also redacted.

We’d tell you what they are, but then we’d have to redact you.

It is fascinating that this is just coming out at the time of the Bezos hack and inklings of how deeply the Saudis are embedded in US politics, media and finance.

" ‘Biggest Loss of Clean Water Protection the Country Has Ever Seen’: Trump Guts Safeguards for US Streams and Wetlands

“This all-out assault on basic safeguards will send our country back to the days when corporate polluters could dump whatever sludge or slime they wished into the streams and wetlands that often connect to the water we drink.”

How long before it hits the airwaves ?

And of course the trumpers all learned how to behave from daddy trump…

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump said at a press conference in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday that he opposed the impeachment of President Bill Clinton even though Clinton was doing bad things, like lying.

Trump added: "Now, with me, there’s no lying."

Just how does round filing FOIA’s, refusing to comply with subpoenas and ignoring Judges orders make America great again? Is this what we’ve been waiting for to set us free?

This happened when the K&E lawyers brought into EPA under Scott Pruitt began to look at how far the liability of the PFAS problems might extend. Trump was probably completely ignorant of the problem. Every military base in the US, for starters. The PFAS discussion made it into public circles about two years ago.

Sad.

Just goes to show - when you need money to live, anyone with money can command you to go against your principals and the law.

No way the FBI was ready to go full Trump - but after a few years, the fear is on them.

One of the first jobs I had, minimum wage, demanded that I lie to the customers.

Money makes slaves of us all, and is the enemy of truth.
