.@dbongino You're missing Mary McCord. When Carlin resigned, McCord took over DOJ-NSD not Boente.

Boente remained EDVA until after McCord resigned.

cnn.com/2017/01/30/pol…

January 31st, 2018.... Trump replaces Sally Yates with Dana Boente as AAG (Pending Sessions confirmation). *Mary McCord is still head of DOJ-NSD at this time*.

[This is one week after Yates/McCord discussed Flynn at White House w/ McGhan 1/24/18]

cbsnews.com/news/trump-fir…

AARGH.... Two prior dates should be 2017. Sorry.

Yates fired 1/30/17
Boente is AAG 1/31/17

[Yates/McCord 1/26/17 go to McGahn (Flynn interview was 1/24/17]

Sessions is confirmed 2/8/17

Boente was AAG from 1/31 through 2/8/17

As of 2/8/17 Boente now ADAG (Acting Deputy AG) Pending Rosenstein confirmation.

Mary McCord still head of DOJ-NSD

On April 20th, 2017, McCord announces decision to depart in May.

McCord departure from head of DOJ-NSD is timed when Rosenstein is confirmed.

npr.org/2017/04/20/524…

On April 25th, 2017, Rod Rosenstein is confirmed. He will now replace Boente.

washingtonpost.com/world/national…

On May 11th, 2017 Mary McCord officially departs Main Justice as head of DOJ-NSD

Jeff Session is AG (since 2/8/17)
Rod Rosenstein is DAG (since 4/25/17)

Dana Boente takes over as head of DOJ-NSD as Mary McCord departs.

Dana Boente was head of DOJ-NSD from May 11th, 2017 through end of October 2017 when he officially retired.

washingtontimes.com/news/2017/oct/…

Boente was expected to leave. But did he?

From November 2017 through the end of January 2018 Boente was?

Then in late January 2018 Boente was recruited by FBI Director Chris Wray to replace embattled FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker.

Here's my point in all of this. The various players inside Main Justice had a vested interest in maintaining the assault against Trump. By now everyone can see the bigger goal was against the office of POTUS. "Obstruction" etc.

All of the personnel moves should always be reviewed with hindsight of the larger anti-Trump objective in mind. Against the known fraud that was the Trump Russia Collusion-Conspiracy narrative, there are no visible people who didn't participate in one form or another.

There is a far larger, and more obvious motivation, to throw a bag over any risk to their narrative, than any expectation they would be working to bring sunlight.

Honest sunlight, is against their interests. Assange, if he has information against the narrative, is a risk.

We recently discovered Mueller's lead FBI agent, for the corrupt Russia collusion-conspiracy investigation, was David W. Archey.

Archey was selected by Robert Mueller when the special counsel took over the counterintelligence investigation from Special Agent Peter Strzok.

Obviously FBI Agent Archey would have known from the outset the collusion-conspiracy narrative was false. So his current status as a participant should be considered *corrupt*. fbi.gov/news/pressrel/…

At the conclusion of the probe, Archey goes to Virginia to head up the Richmond, VA, field office. Again this is a matrix of confluent interests.... and connects to the DOJ EDVA where Boente previously operated. Boente now legal counsel for the FBI.

The recent Assange indictment stems from the EDVA.

scribd.com/document/40593…

Yesterday, more investigative material was released. Again, note the dates:

Grand Jury, *December of 2017*

FBI investigation prior to....

documentcloud.org/documents/5911…

This FBI submission/Grand Jury was 4 months after congressman Dana Rohrabacher talked to Assange: "Assange told a U.S. congressman ... he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents ... did not come from Russia."

thehill.com/policy/cyberse…

Then, amid the fury of the Mueller probe, the EDVA sealed the indictment on March, 6th 2018 and did nothing....

scribd.com/document/40593…

Until April 11th, 2019, when a coordinated effort between the U.K. and U.S. was launched. Assange was arrested, and the indictment was unsealed.

theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/11/jul…

To me, as a person who has researched this entire 3 year fiasco.... This looks like a Deep State move to control Assange because the Mueller report is dependent on Russia cybercrimes.... AND that is contingent on the Russia DNC hack story.

There are no "good guys" in this. There are no "white hats" here. Certainly not Mueller, Rosenstein or Boente.

The question is can/does AG William Barr see it? It would seem likely.

If so, is he really willing to act on it?

Barr would be taking on the entire institution.

In the end it all goes back to the same series of questions. Who was recommending to President Trump that he retain and promote DOJ and FBI officials who were part of the anti-Trump Russia collusion-conspiracy program.?

Someone who knew the program, and knew who was needed where, was/is in a position of influence with President Trump and was steering these placements from a position very close to the President.

Rod Rosenstein as DAG was one of those key nominations. DC U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu was another.

From Rosenstein we get: Mueller, Chris Wray, David Bowditch and Dana Boente.

Meanwhile Jessie Liu quashed cases against: Awan bros, James Wolfe, Greg Craig and Andrew McCabe.

/END

Boente part of very small and influential team that coached Sessions to recuse.
