Biden's DOJ and FBI have outdone themselves yet again. Who could have thought an organization that is willingly being used to target the Democrats/Deep States' political opponents would have employees with sticky fingers too ?
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A
Houston college student sentenced for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021
breach at the U.S. Capitol is one of the alleged victims of an FBI agent
who was indicted for theft.
Alexander
Fan was sentenced to 12 months probation for trespassing during a
sentencing hearing on Friday. His attorney, Mark Thering, said he
pleaded guilty and expressed genuine remorse in a statement to the
court.
Fan's
home was searched after his arrest in June 2023. Court records filed
ahead of the hearing state, "the next day, Fan reported to the FBI that
some items--including cash and silver bars--had gone missing from his
bedroom. These items were not seized pursuant to the warrants."
Thering said the loss was several thousand dollars, and his client never expected his report to materialize.
"He was under the assumption, well, that was the last he'd hear from them," Thering said.
On Jan. 31, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced the arrest of Nicholas Anthony Williams, a Houston FBI agent.
"It's commendable. The agency took the lead and took my client's allegations seriously," Thering said.
According
to the charges, Williams took money and property from multiple homes
while executing search warrants from March 2022 to July 2023. He is also
accused of stealing FBI cell phones and lying about charges on his
government-issued credit card.
In
response, Williams' defense attorney, Chip Lewis, told ABC13, "Nick has
cooperated with the authorities from the outset of this investigation
and will continue to do so."
Prosecutors
have not disclosed the number of victims or how much more was stolen
during searches. The indictment states Williams allegedly converted the
money or property to his personal use.
"We
put our faith in public officials to do the right thing," Thering said.
"But I don't think it's indicative of any police agency or any federal
agency."
If convicted, Williams faces up to 10 years in federal prison and up to a $250,000 fine.
The open corruption of the Biden administration is the great uniparty white elephant in the room that we can't talk about. The media has proven itself to be the danger to democracy that they themselves prattle on about. The uniparty hates Trump and that must be our only focus no matter how high the establishment jumps the shark or how many times. The Biden corruption makes their god Obama look bad once again so deflection and protection is the legacy media's main mission. Protect the uniparty and the agenda. Stick to the narrative. Think the evidence isn't overwhelming at this point ?
Still nothing to see here ?
You can watch Hunter Biden's business partner Devon Archer talk about some of their dealings. Not so oddly enough, Devon Archer seems to always remove himself from any of the wrong doing .....
Part 2
>
As reported by CBS
And more from yet another Hunter Biden business partner.
Whistleblowers, coverups, shell corps, burner phones, slow walking investigations, stonewalling and so much more. But Trump the orange man is bad and a danger to democracy ? Do you really believe that and do you buy their distractions ? Why are so many people willing to stay silent on Biden's open corruption while manufacturing charges against Trump, his political rival ? There is no deep state and no obvious coordination with corporate media ? No uniparty ? No swamp ? What happened to the TeaParty when they wanted to defund it all ? Did you try to question the lockdowns and mandates ? Maybe have a few questions on election 2020 or climate alarmism ?
No questions about any of the above ? Then they must have given you a very warm welcome to the machine. I will let you finish your cigar, you are gonna go far.
Judicial Watch puts some more pieces of the IRS scandal into place. The Obama administration's extensive effort to target his political opponents starting before the 2010 elections using the alphabet agencies of government is obvious.
Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released new Department of Justice (DOJ) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) documents that include an official “DOJ Recap” report detailing an October 2010 meeting between Lois Lerner, DOJ officials and the FBI to plan for the possible criminal prosecution of targeted nonprofit organizations for alleged illegal political activity.
The newly obtained records also reveal that the Obama DOJ wanted IRS employees who were going to testify to Congress to turn over documents to the DOJ before giving them to Congress. Records also detail how the Obama IRS gave the FBI 21 computer disks, containing 1.25 million pages of confidential IRS returns from 113,000 nonprofit social 501(c)(4) welfare groups – or nearly every 501(c)(4) in the United States – as part of its prosecution effort. According to a letter from then-House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, “This revelation likely means that the IRS – including possibly Lois Lerner – violated federal tax law by transmitting this information to the Justice Department.”
Judicial Watch continues.
The new IRSdocuments include a October 11, 2010 “DOJ Recap” memo sent by IRS Exempt Organizations Tax Law Specialist Siri Buller to Lerner and other top IRS officials explaining an October 8 meeting with representatives from the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section and “one representative from the FBI” to discuss the possible criminal prosecution of nonprofit organizations for alleged political activity:
On October 8, 2010, Lois Lerner, Joe Urban [IRS Technical Advisor, TEGE], Judy Kindell [top aide to Lerner], Justin Lowe [Technical Advisor to the Commissioner of Tax-Exempt and Government Entities], and Siri Buller met with the section chief and other attorneys from the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section, and one representative from the FBI, to discuss recent attention to the political activity of exempt organizations.
The section’s attorneys expressed concern that certain section 501(c) organizations are actually political committees “posing” as if they are not subject to FEC law, and therefore may be subject to criminal liability. The attorneys mentioned several possible theories to bring criminal charges under FEC law. In response, Lois and Judy eloquently explained the following points:
Under section 7805(b), we may only revoke or modify an organization’s exemption retroactively if it omitted or misstated a material fact or operated in a manner materially different from that originally represented.
If we do not have these misrepresentations, the organization may rely on our determination it is exempt. However, the likelihood of revocation is diminished by the fact that section 501(c)(4)-(c)(6) organizations are not required to apply for recognition of exemption.
We discussed the hypothetical situation of a section 501(c)(4) organization that declares itself exempt as a social welfare organization, but at the end of the taxable year has in fact functioned as a political organization. Judy explained that such an organization, in order to be in compliance, would simply file Form 1120-POL and paying tax at the highest corporate rate.
Lois stated that although we do not believe that organizations which are subject to a civil audit subsequently receive any type of immunity from a criminal investigation, she will refer them to individuals from CI who can better answer that question. She explained that we are legally required to separate the civil and criminal aspects of any examination and that while we do not have EO law experts in CI, our FIU agents are experienced in coordinating with CI.
The attorneys asked whether a change in the law is necessary, and whether a three-way partnership among DOJ, the FEC, and the IRS is possible to prevent prohibited activity by these organizations. Lois listed a number of obstacles to the attorneys’ theories:
[REDACTED]
She pointed to Revenue Ruling 2004-6, which was drafted in light of the electioneering communication rules before they were litigated.
Just prior this meeting, the IRS began the process of providing the FBI confidential taxpayer information on nonprofit groups. An IRS document confirms the IRS supplied the FBI with 21 disks containing 1.25 million pages of taxpayer records:
The coordination of the agencies with the administration and the Democrats in Congress is really no surprise, but does pose a final question.
The DOJ documents also include a July 16, 2013, email from an undisclosed Justice Department official to a lawyer for IRS employees asking that the Obama administration get information from congressional witnesses before Congress does:
One last issue. If any of your clients have documents they are providing to Congress that you can (or would like to) provide to us before their testimony, we would be pleased to receive them. We are 6103 authorized and I can connect you with TIGTA to confirm; we would like the unredacted documents.
“These new documents show that the Obama IRS scandal is also an Obama DOJ and FBI scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The FBI and Justice Department worked with Lois Lerner and the IRS to concoct some reason to put President Obama’s opponents in jail before his reelection. And this abuse resulted in the FBI’s illegally obtaining confidential taxpayer information. How can the Justice Department and FBI investigate the very scandal in which they are implicated?”
*Obama's IRS also illegally leaked confidential tax documents of their political opponents to the liberal press during the 2012 election cycle.
The same IRS office that deliberately targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of conservative groups to ProPublica late last year.
The IRS did not respond to requests Monday following up about that release, and whether it had determined how the applications were sent to ProPublica.
In response to a request for the applications for 67 different nonprofits last November, the Cincinnati office of the IRS sent ProPublica applications or documentation for 31 groups. Nine of those applications had not yet been approved—meaning they were not supposed to be made public.
ALL 9 of the groups are not only conservative, but one of the illegally leaked applications was for the Karl Rove lead Crossroads GPS, the largest and most hated group among them. Smaller and lesser known conservative groups confidential applications were also illegally leaked as Propublica reuports:
Applications were sent to ProPublica from five other social welfare groups that had told the IRS that they wouldn’t spend money to sway elections. The other groups ended up spending more than $5 million related to the election, mainly to support Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Much of that money was spent by the Arizona groupAmericans for Responsible Leadership. The remaining four groups that told the IRS they wouldn’t engage in political spending were Freedom Path, Rightchange.com II, America Is Not Stupid and A Better America Now.
The IRS also sent ProPublica the applications of three small conservative groups that told the agency that they would spend some money on politics: Citizen Awareness Project, the YG Network and SecureAmericaNow.org. (No unapproved applications from liberal groups were sent to ProPublica.)
That is right, NONE of the unapproved applications for liberal groups were leaked. The public and the press were eager to dismiss the targeting of conservatives by the Obama administration, BIG government and the Democrat party.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Sunday defended his decision to single out a key GOP group in a 2010 letter to the IRS.
Obama's IRS Targets Conservative Groups-Leaks Info
IRS cases were referred to ‘Group 7822’
The Internal Revenue Service diverted applications for tax-exempt status from tea party and like-minded organizations to a special track known as Group 7822 for special scrutiny, according to transcripts of an interview by congressional interrogators with a key IRS official.
A conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, said it obtained an email chain from the Internal Revenue Service in which the department provided confidential tax information to the Federal Election Commission.
The watchdog group obtained the exchange from a freedom of information request made shortly after congressional investigators began prodding the agency on whether it inappropriately shared confidential tax information about a conservative group applying for tax-exempt status.
Lois Lerner Warned IRS Employees to Hide Information from Congress
A newly released email from former IRS employee Lois G. Lerner, sent just as the tea party targeting scandal was erupting, warned colleagues to “be cautious” about what information they put in emails because it could be turned over to Congress.
Targeting Conservatives: An IRS Political Timeline
President Obama spent months in 2010 warning Americans about the 'threat' to democracy posed by conservative groups, right at the time the IRS began targeting these groups.
Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer announced his resignation as
the head of the Justice Department’s (DOJ) criminal division on
Wednesday.
Breuer and Holder
Breuer had faced steady Republican calls for him to
step down over his handling of a botched gun-tracking operation, but
Attorney General Eric Holder lauded his top lieutenant’s performance and
“unwavering commitment” to the DOJ.
“Lanny has led one of the most successful and aggressive criminal
divisions in the history of the Department of Justice, accomplishing
record penalties in corruption cases at home and abroad and dismantling
major organized crime and healthcare fraud networks around the country
while also protecting the integrity of our banking systems and fighting
financial fraud,” Holder said in a statement.
“Throughout his tenure, Lanny has demonstrated an unwavering commitment
to the mission of this Department, and I want to thank him for his
dedication and exceptional service.”
The DOJ applauded Breuer’s work along the U.S.-Mexico border, saying,
“the criminal division has made great strides in the fight against
violent crime along the southwest border and across the country.”
Breuer has brought charges against the alleged killers of Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement Special Agent Jaime Zapata and those allegedly
responsible for the 2010 killing of a U.S. Consular official in Mexico,
along with hundreds of others involved in drug and gang warfare,
according to the DOJ’s statement accompanying Breuer’s announcement.
Fast and Furious Timeline and Intro
Calls for his resignation began last Congress amid Republican
investigations into Operation Fast and Furious, which failed to track
nearly 2,000 weapons sold to suspected criminals in the Southwest. A
weapon from the operation was found at the murder scene of a Border
Patrol agent.
At the request of Attorney General Eric Holder, the DOJ’s inspector general completed a lengthy report on the operation.
The IG’s report found that four top DOJ officials — Breuer, Holder’s
former Deputy Chief of Staff Monty Wilkinson, former Deputy Assistant
Attorney General Jason Weinstein and former acting Deputy Attorney
General Gary Grindler — should have raised concerns sooner with their
superiors about flaws within Fast and Furious.
Breuer “did not authorize any of the investigative activities” in Fast
and Furious, according to the report. But he was aware that a previous
operation under President George W. Bush’s administration, "Wide
Receiver," had used similar “gun walking” tactics, which he described as
“obviously flawed,” the report stated. And yet, upon learning of Fast
and Furious, the officials did not take appropriate action.
“Given the significance of this issue and the fact that [the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] ... reports to the deputy
attorney general, we believe that Breuer should have promptly informed
the deputy attorney general or the attorney general about the matter in
April 2010. Breuer failed to do so,” the report states.
The DOJ on Wednesday cast a wider view of Breuer’s tenure with the
department, citing a plethora of successes that occurred under his
watch, including the development of a program guarding against foreign
corrupt officials hiding their ill-gotten spoils in the United States
and increasing the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(FCPA).
Breuer’s resignation comes in the wake of a PBS "Frontline"
investigation that aired last week criticizing him for not prosecuting
Wall Street powerbrokers for their role in the financial crisis.
But combating financial fraud has been at the top of Breuer’s
accomplishments, the DOJ said, citing his role in successfully
prosecuting and landing heavy prison sentences for the former heads of
Taylor, Bean & Whitaker and Stanford International Bank.
The agency also highlighted the criminal division’s successful
investigation of the London Interbank Offered Rate, which has led to
nearly $2 billion in criminal penalties and a guilty plea by a UBS
subsidiary. A separate DOJ unit under Breuer’s watch has reaped $3.1
billion in criminal forfeitures from major financial institutions guilty
of money-launderin
