Cocktails & Popcorn: Judicial Watch, Clinton Foundation, Mark Meadows & John Huber - A Non-Profit Oversight Christmas Tale

Nothing takes the place of oversight
of non-profit organizations
for the christmas holiday!

What am I watching?

All I can tell you is that Mr. Tom (my pet name for Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch) may have some serious issues in the future.

You cannot advocate a judicial case in the congressional branch for the purposes of financial benefit, where, in this instance, it is for a 501c3.

That is called a propaganda operation because we have no idea about the foreign funding of Judicial Watch, due to the fact that it is a non-profit.

That is why Huber did not show up for this shit show.

Hell, I would not show up, either!

There was no one from DOJ, IRS,  or any OIG who was currently employed with U.S. government.

Seriously.

Talk about an ex-parte hearing, I actually experienced an episode of Post Traumatic Fraud and do not know if I shall ever recover.

The Committee did not even extend invitation to testify to the other foundations (Trump, Clinton et al & FACT).

I believe it is difficult to call a non-profit to testify in congressional hearing when that non-profit is not a 501c3, or even incorporated, for that matter, due to it being a Corporate Shape Shifter, but hey, what do I know?

I know Mr. Tom is not even a licensed attorney, so how is he allowed to represent Judicial Watch as the President of a 501c3 non-profit organization, as a litigant, to speak upon live litigation, in the capacity of a licensed attorney, in a formal congressional hearing on oversight of non-profits?

Judicial Watch, Inc., a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation, promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law. Through its educational endeavors, Judicial Watch advocates high standards of ethics and morality in our nation's public life and seeks to ensure that political and judicial officials do not abuse the powers entrusted to them by the American people. Judicial Watch fulfills its educational mission through litigation, investigations and public outreach. 

2016 GROSS RECEIPTS $67,005,461.00

2016 ASSETS $92,365,593.00

Did Mr. Tom use a Congressional Committee for personal inurement by promulgating propaganda into the congressional record, using congressional resources, to sway the courts?

I am unable to present any specific answers to that question, but I bet the Mueller OSC team could.

Perhaps, that is another reason why Huber did not show up.

There was not one mention of trafficking tiny humans.

Priorities, you know, it is that time of season for giving.

Why Mark Meadows would allow such a fundraiser spectacle to take place, using taxpayer dollars, knowing fully well that there are multiple, ongoing investigations into the actions and omissions of the so-called Clinton Foundation, is just beyond belief.

But, hey, what do I know?

I know Mr. Tom is going to need a few cocktails because Judicial Watch is now a willing participant of oversight as a non-profit organization.

I also know that Mark Meadows will be enjoying rum infused eggnog over the holidays.

Judicial Watch May Not Like What Is Under The Awan Seal

Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch my not want to see or even know what is being kept under grand jury seal.

#maytheheavensfall

Federal Judge Orders Justice Department to Explain Why Awan Documents Are Being Kept Secret

An apparently frustrated federal judge ordered attorneys for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to appear Jan. 15 for a “snap” hearing to explain why the government isn’t producing documents sought by Judicial Watch concerning former Democratic information technology aide Imran Awan.

U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Amit Mehta’s unusual order followed a sealed submission by DOJ attorneys Jan. 10 in the case prompted by the nonprofit government watchdog’s November 2018 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit.

Such hastily convened hearings are extremely unusual in a federal judicial system so jammed that months can pass before cases are litigated in courtrooms.

“In a hearing last month, U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta expressed frustration and ordered the Justice Department to explain its failure to produce records by January 10 and to provide Judicial Watch some details about the delay,” Judicial Watch said in a statement Jan. 14 about the snap hearing.

“Instead, the Justice Department made its filing under seal and has yet to provide Judicial Watch with any details about its failure to produce records as promised to the court,” Judicial Watch said.

Federal attorneys previously said in December 2019 that they were unable to provide the documents sought in the Judicial Watch FOIA requests because they include materials from a “related sealed criminal matter.”

The lawsuit was prompted by DOJ’s failure to produce documents sought by Judicial Watch in two separate FOIA requests in the Awan scandal.

Awan, a Pakistani national, and several members of his family and friends were IT aides to more than 40 Democratic members of key national security and foreign policy committees in the House of Representatives. Their positions gave the aides access to all of the members’ digital communications and documents.

With the exception of Imran Awan, all of the Awan network members lost their access to the House IT network in February 2017, as a result of a report by the top House administrative officials that said the aides “are an ongoing and serious risk to the House of Representatives, possibly threatening the integrity of our information systems and thereby members’ capacity to serve constituents.”

Imran Awan was kept on the House payroll by then-Democratic National Committee Chairman Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.) until he was arrested by federal agents while trying to leave the United States.

Awan was subsequently charged with bank fraud in connection with a loan from the Congressional Federal Credit Union.

Awan pleaded guilty in a plea deal in which federal prosecutors agreed to drop a bank fraud charge against Awan’s wife, and said they found no evidence that he “illegally removed House data from the House network or from House members’ offices, stole the House Democratic Caucus server, stole or destroyed House information technology equipment, or improperly accessed or transferred government information, including classified or sensitive information.”

To date, federal prosecutors haven’t explained why their investigation reached a conclusion opposite to that of House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving and House Chief Administrative Officer Phil Kiko.

Awan served no time in prison and only three months of supervised release. His attorney in the bank fraud case was a longtime associate of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

The Awan scandal was first exposed by Daily Caller investigative journalist Luke Rosiak, who subsequently published a book on his findings, titled “Obstruction of Justice: How the Deep State Risked National Security to Protect the Democrats.”

None of the Awan network members were reportedly required to undergo security background checks prior to being employed on congressional staffs.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in the nonprofit’s statement that “the DOJ’s handling of the Awan brothers case has long been an issue of concern and now we are expected to believe some secret investigation prevents the public from knowing the full truth about this scandal. We are skeptical.”

Kansas, Meet the Queen of Judicial Lobbying: Maura Corrigan

Rep. Lance Kinzer Chair of the Kansas House Judiciary Committee is going to hear HB 2583 (Prohibiting Judicial Lobbying)Monday March 17, 2014 @ 3:30pm.

In short, Judicial Lobbying is when a judge attempts to make law while sitting on the bench.

Meet the Queen of Judicial Lobbying:  Former Supreme Court Justice Maura D. Corrigan.

Queen of Judicial Lobbying Maura D. Corrigan.

Madame #MauraCorrigan (said in a high British accent through clenched teeth) first caught my eye with judicial lobbying when she headed up the Pew Foster Care Commission while sitting on the Michigan Supreme Court (if I recall correctly, as Chief Justice) where she made the ostentatious recommendation that "judges who adjudicate child welfare matters should go advocate for reform by sitting on the boards of the foster care agencies." 

Is this a conflict of interest when a judge is sitting on the Board of Directors of a foster care agency that has a case before the same judge who will rule in their favor?  

Of course it is.  Hell, it is even in violation of several of the Judicial Cannons of the American Bar Association. Madame Corrigan (do not forget the clenched teeth and accent) used to be a Board Member of Vista Maria, what I like to call the national think tank for foster care policy. 

(NOTE:  Presiding Chief Justice Robert Young also sat on the Board of Vista Maria.)

Rumor had it she was "blue slipped" to be nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court during the time.I even caught her on a national radio interview advocating a case in public that was right in front of her court. 

Now, one will ask: "Why is it a bad thing to advocate for foster care?" 

Now, I will answer: "Because Michigan was covering up one of the largest child welfare false claims schemes in the nation."Madame Corrigan is a brilliant and refined liar.  (Make sure to click the link.  This was the main reason she resigned from the bench to become Director of Michigan Department of Human Services.) 

Well, some will argue that if a judge volunteers it is not considered lobbying because there is no financial compensation.  Au contraire, mes amies! When a judge does something nice for an organization, albeit public or private, profit or not-for-profit, there are monetary gifts.  These gifts are called campaign contributions and voter mobilization. 

In Michigan, it is unknown how much in financial contributions a Supreme Court candidate receives as it is not mandatory to report it.  Ergo, these Child Welfare Agencies will campaign and contribute to the judges. Quid pro quo: Wash my back, I wash yours. 

Watch out Kansas, Madame Corrigan still has ties. 

Individuals wishing to appear and provide verbal testimony before the committee MUST notify the committee secretary 24 hours in advance of the hearing, unless a hearing is scheduled with less than 48 hours notice.  In case of the latter, 6 hours prior notice MUST be given. Testimony MUST be in written form and 50 copies made available to staff prior to testifying by10 a.m. Additionally, an electronic copy should be sent to the committee assistant, Connie Bahner, (connie.bahner@house.ks.gov) by the 10 a.m.

Cocktails & Popcorn: The Perfection Of Absurdity - Legal Genius Larry Klayman & Laura Loomer Are Coming To Detroit To Defend John Conyers' Legacy

I am quite sure FinCEN is monitoring the financial
transactions of Laura's candidacy.

On this exciting episode of Cocktails & Popcorn, we have Laura Loomer, a stand up comedian, filing a suit of law against Rashida Tlaib, my favorite "#MeToo Girl" through her attorney Larry Klayman. who may not be her attorney if he is suspended from practicing law.

Ethics panel for D.C. bar seeks to suspend conservative attorney Larry Klayman for 33 months

The absurdity of this action is pure art which deserves to be displayed in the annals of history, so here we go.

I bet John Ratcliffe is already on the list to be deposed.

It would be such a shame for it to be found that Laura Loomer was using this lawsuit as a form of electioneering and to solicit campaign contributions, having sworn an oath of office to uphold the U.S. Constitution as a U.S. Congressional Candidate, or even just for personal inurement, like Ilhan Omar has been accused.

That would be awkward.

Rashida snatched Laura's phone at a campaign event.

Laura solicits Larry Klayman, the man who set up Judicial Watch, a foreign corporation, in Michigan, to file pro hac vice a case in Minnesota against Rashida, alleging violations of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which just so happens to be about parental rights, child welfare, where I was one of the original writers of the Michigan Resolution, that was bastardized by people like Larry Klayman in this action.

But, I digress because this is the part that made me giggle the most:

At that time on August 11, 2018, Rashida Tlaib was essentially unopposed in
her election for Michigan's 13th congressional district for the U.S. House of
Representatives. 

Rashida Tlaib ultirnately won the general election on Novernber 6, 2018, with 84.2% of the vote. Minor candidates Sam Johnson received 11.4% of the vote and D. Etta Wilcoxon won 4.1 % of the vote. However, after winning the primary, Tlaib was assured of election to Congress.

Larry Klayman has just voluntarily injected himself, and his newest client, Laura Loomer, into the 2016 & 2018 Election Fraud Investigation of Detroit, where I will be doing colored commentary as the Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed.

You can tell Larry is a "Legal Genius", (trademark pending) because he did not name the U.S. House of Representatives, which means he has to amend the complaint, but that may be an issue if Rashida was there in her personal capacity.

Better be safe, Larry, and subpoena the previous office holder of the Michigan 13th Congressional District, just to make sure you got all your "religious discrimination" and election information correct.

#sayhisname

That way, DHS and DOJ can come in with the U.S. Treasury, because they are the ones who possess the powers to strip those pesky attorney client privileges and immunities.

And, of course, we must definitely invite Vladimir Putin, because everyone keeps saying he was naughty and interfered in the 2016 & 2018 elections, so he would know all about how Rashida and Brenda Jones won the Michigan 13th Congressional District Seat.

I would be remiss not to invite the Michigan Democratic Party and Michigan Republican Party, too, because they possess information on how Rashida and the entire cast of congressional candidates became qualified to run in the 2018 election.

Of course, the entire Michigan Governor's cabinet must be subpoenaed.

Joselyn Benson has a Great Repository with all the information that will be needed by both Plaintiff and Defendant.

Brenda Jones sat on the Detroit Board of Elections, along with Mayor Mike Duggan and our favorite Corporate Counselors, Butch Hollowell and Larry Garcia.

Volodymyr Zelensky Viktor Yushchenko and Viktor Yanukovych definitely know stuff on how Rashida and Brenda won that seat, so they must all get subpoenas, too.

Will Larry and Laura get discovery on Humpty Dumpty because that would smash their entire religious defense argument against Rashida as Jeffrey Epstein's brother, Mark, who are both jewish, were supportive of Rashida?

We will only know upon depsition of BiBi Netanyahu, because he knows how Rashida and Brenda got elected, too.

Since CAIR was identified in the complaint, we just have to invite Dawud Walid, whose friend is a friend of Laura's friend on that Youtube foreign propaganda election interference show.

Of course, Trump must be deposed, because he keeps obstructing justice by keeping that IG Report in his backpocket.

I bet no one will subpoena me.

That thought gives me the Saddy Face.

Will Rashida refer the matter to #perkinscoiesucks?

I should be naughty and petition for the case to be enjoined in the Detroit Grand Jury case....

Oups, j'ai dit une bétise!

For everything you ever wanted to know about Rashida:

Oh, boy!

This is soooooooo romantic.

This is about the trafficking of tiny humans and they do not have a clue of the magnitude of what they have done.

Conservative Activist Laura Loomer Files $2M Lawsuit Over Phone Grabbing Incident At Ilhan Omar Event

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Conservative activist Laura Loomer is suing Rep. Rashida Tlaib over an incident that happened at a campaign event last year in Minneapolis, seeking $2 million in damages for alleged assault and battery.

Loomer, who is currently running for Congress in Florida’s 21st District, claims that the Michigan congresswoman assaulted her when she grabbed her phone at a campaign event for Ilhan Omar at Holy Land deli last August.

Tlaib was campaigning at the northeast Minneapolis restaurant for Omar, who was then running for Minnesota’s 5th District. Both Tlaib and Omar were elected to the U.S. House that November, becoming the first Muslim women in Congress. The two are half of the progressive group of lawmakers known as “the squad.”

Video of the campaign event at Holy Land shows Tlaib grabbing Loomer’s phone as she records her, asking if Tlaib considers Hamas a terrorist organization.

According to the lawsuit, Tlaib “violently grabbed” the phone as Loomer was working as a journalist, seeking to understand Tlaib’s positions on Israel and Palestine. (Tlaib is the daughter of Palestinian immigrants; Loomer is Jewish).

Freedom Watch, the conservative group that filed the lawsuit, says that Loomer is suing Tlaib not for political purposes, but to hold the congresswoman accountable for her “unhinged hatred for Jews and Israel.”

Larry Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch, also filed a complaint against Omar earlier this year, seeking a Justice Department investigation into the Minnesota congresswoman.

Cocktails & Popcorn: Carter Page FISA Verified Application Is About The Money

Russian collusion in the 2016 election

The 2016 election was influenced by Russian operatives, but it was not dealing with votes.

It was campaign financing.

These people laundered money through political campaigns, colluded, bribed and blackmailed candidates, financed smear campaigns, through social media and in real life compromises.

From the heavily redacted documents, it can be seen that this is about the money, and lots of it, to keep the ratlines running, like:

• trafficking tiny humans;
• human trafficking;
• uranium;
• oil;
• slave labor;
• pharmaceuticals;
• biomedical research
• dark weapons;
• gold; and, 
• the list goes on.

Here Are the Secret Documents About the Surveillance of Ex-Trump Adviser Carter Page

The Justice Department has released hundreds of pages of documents relating to an FBI application for a secret warrant issued in October 2016 authorizing surveillance on former Donald Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page.

Carter Page, the FISA rabbit

The records were obtained by Gizmodo Media Group (GMG), Splinter’s parent company, via a Freedom of Information Act request filed in April 2017. Other media and political organizations, including the New York Times, USA Today, and Judicial Watch, also filed FOIA requests.

The FBI submitted the application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), which approved its request to surveil Page. The Times noted that the government’s release of this application was essentially unprecedented, since “no such application materials had apparently become public in the 40 years since Congress enacted [the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] to regulate the interception of phone calls and other communications on domestic soil in search of spies and terrorists, as opposed to wiretapping for ordinary criminal investigations.”

The documents are heavily redacted in places, but what remains leaves little to the imagination. The FBI’s application for the secret warrant flatly asserts that Page is “an agent of a foreign power,” and adds, “The FBI believes Page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the Russian Government [redacted] undermine and influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election in violation of U.S. criminal law.”

Among the other highlights:

—The FBI also says that it “believes that the Russian government’s efforts are being coordinated with Page and perhaps other individuals associated with Candidate #1's campaign.” (Candidate #1 is Trump.)

The FBI claims that, according to a source, Page met with a Russian who raised the possibility that the Russian government could leak a damaging dossier about “Candidate #2" (Hillary Clinton) to the Trump campaign.

In February 2017, Page sent a letter to the DOJ alleging that Clinton’s campaign was subjecting him to a smear campaign.

Page—a former investment banker and oil industry consultant who, though he spent just five months advising the Trump campaign on foreign policy, has loomed large in the popular imagination thanks in part to his shadowy backstory and a series of questionable television appearances—later acknowledged to the House Intelligence Committee that he met with Russian government officials during a July 2016 trip to Moscow. (He claimed that he made the trip as a private citizen, but that he briefed other Trump campaign officials about it after his return.) Splinter has reached out to him for comment on the FBI’s assertions. We have also reached out to the White House for comment.

The DOJ’s national security division initially countered the FOIA requests with a “Glomar response,” a refusal to confirm or deny the existence or nonexistence of the records. In the context of national security, a Glomar response is commonly used when rejecting a FOIA request on any other grounds would implicitly acknowledge that an agency possess records whose very existence is classified.

In May 2017, GMG filed a lawsuit against the DOJ in a Federal District Court in Manhattan, arguing the existence of the FISA warrants had, for all intents and purposes, been declassified by President Trump on March 4 in a series of threetweets, the first of which read in part: “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory.”

The DOJ withdrew the Glomar response in February 2018, citing a politically charged memo released by Republican House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes that month which had been declassified by Trump over the objections of the FBI. The memo, which accused both the FBI and the DOJ of abusing their surveillance powers to spy on the Trump campaign, explicitly referenced the authorization of electronic surveillance on Page by the secret court, calling it a “probable cause order.”

The memo turned out to be self-defeating for the GOP for several reasons. First, it charged that in seeking the secret surveillance warrant, federal investigators had failed to inform judges that key evidence was obtained from a biased source—the so-called Steele dossier, which was initially written by former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of Democrats. But a response memo published by the Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee later debunked the accusation, revealing that the court had in fact been informed of the source’s political bias.

The memo also backfired by inadvertently confirming that the Steele dossier was not the primary factor jumpstarting the Russia inquiry. Instead, it acknowledged events previously reported by the New York Times: A former Trump foreign policy adviser, George Papadopoulos, came under the scrutiny of investigators in July 2016 after boasting that Russia had dirt on then-candidate Hillary Clinton to an Australian diplomat in London.

The Russia investigation is ongoing, but so far Special Counsel Robert Mueller has secured 32 indictments or guilty pleas. Among the five people who have pleaded guilty are Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates, and former White House National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Charges have also been brought against 26 Russian nationals, including 12 intelligence officers indicted on July 13, and three Russian companies.

The FISA warrant records pertaining to Page, which were delivered to GMG late on Saturday afternoon, can be read below in full. This story will be updated as reporters continue to pore over the documents.

Attorney Marcus Mumford Leaves Humanity But Never Allowed Ammon Bundy To Tell His Tale In The Trafficking Of Tiny Humans Network

Ammon Bundy has a tale that has never been told, possibly for the simple fact that he did not know who to tell it to.

Ammon knows what was going on with children in foster care.

Ammon alludes to a possible border babies child trafficking network and the nasty things people in foster care do.

Larry Klayman may know what Ammon is trying to tell.

Ammon Bundy's lawyer quotes from Western film, mocks federal prosecutors in last-minute legal motion

Marcus Mumford made a mockery in his representation of Ammon, but the question is not why, but, what trafficking tiny humans activities was he covering up.

Marcus Mumford, attorney who represented Ammon Bundy in federal court in Oregon, found dead in Utah home

Marcus Mumford

Marcus R. Mumford, the Utah attorney who successfully represented Ammon Bundy in federal court in Portland, was found dead in his home Monday morning.

A colleague and friend who had stopped by Mumford’s home in Salt Lake City to bring him breakfast and discuss a case found Mumford, said Mumford’s sister-in-law, Katie Mumford.

Mumford, 46, lived alone. Family members don’t know what caused his death.

He was a divorced father of seven children ranging in age from 5 to 17. His ex-wife and children lived nearby in Salt Lake City, Katie Mumford told The Oregonian/OregonLive.

He wasn’t ill with the coronavirus, and there were no signs of foul play, according to relatives. They’re awaiting the results of an autopsy. His father and mother both suffered serious ailments at a young age; his father had a heart attack around age 40, according to Katie Mumford.

Marcus Mumford represented Bundy when he was acquitted on all charges stemming from the armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in January 2016.

Mumford was tackled and stunned with a Taser by federal marshals moments after the acquittal. He had shouted at the judge, argued for Bundy’s release and demanded to see a detention order from Nevada following the October 2016 announcement of not guilty verdicts for Bundy and six co-defendants.

Mumford later agreed to voluntarily give up his standing to practice in federal court in Oregon, putting an end to U.S. District Judge Michael W. Mosman’s attempt to officially ban him in Oregon’s federal district.

Mosman pursued the sanction against Mumford, citing repeated instances of Mumford’s arguing with U.S. District Judge Anna J. Brown during the refuge occupation trial, inappropriate commentary on a witness in the presence of a jury and failures or refusals to observe court rulings. Mumford previously told The Oregonian/OregonLive that Mosman was being “vindictive.”

At the time, another defense attorney in the refuge occupation trial praised Mumford. Defense lawyer Matthew Schindler, who was defendant Kenneth Medenbach’s standby lawyer during the trial, said Mumford represented Bundy zealously and successfully.

“What we need far more of in our legal community are Marcus Mumfords,” Schindler told The Oregonian/OregonLive then. “We have plenty of people who are polite. We need people who give everything they have to give.''

Inviting wrath of judge may be part of a calculated approach by Ammon Bundy's lawyer

Attorney Marcus Mumford told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he's striving to show a link between what he and Bundy perceive as the government's "misconduct'' in the shooting of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum with what they contend is the government's mishandling and mischaracterization of the refuge occupation.

Angie Bundy, wife of Ammon Bundy’s brother and co-defendant Ryan Bundy, wrote on Mumford’s Facebook page Monday:

"Marcus Mumford was fearless in defending Ammon and the other men in the trial in Portland. He also became a friend to the family and he will be greatly missed. He was the one who felt that the case could be won, and helped make it happen. Our hearts are broken, Rest in Peace.''

Mumford grew up on an Idaho dairy farm and told students at his alma mater, Utah State University, in 2010 that he had to be “audacious enough” to enter the field of law with a significant stuttering condition that he had struggled with since age 4 because “the world wasn’t prepared for a stuttering lawyer.”

Mumford went on to graduate from Brigham Young University’s law school. He clerked for a federal appellate judge and worked eight years for one of the country’s biggest law firms, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, before returning to Utah to open his own practice.
