From the Seth Rich FOIA case.
If you know FOIA cases, a Declaration by Michael G. Seidel is always the best place to start!
The fake news attached to Seth Rich makes it difficult to get factual information in this case. #ButNothingsHappening courtlistener.com/docket/1721165…
Rich's work laptop is not FBI property & does nto contain agency documents. It is DNC property, so FBI does not have legal authority to release it under FOIA or to NARA...
As with all evidence, the FBI will have to give it back to the proper owners (the DNC) after all criminal proceedings have terminated.
Which means the criminal proceedings have not been terminated!
Confirming FBI has read the laptop (by not answering that question) but disputing if the agency 'relied upon' that information to make agency decisions.
The laptoop & records on it are not FBI records under FOIA & are evidence collected by FBI in criminal cases that are not over.
Seidel runs RIDS, so it's why his declarations are always fun to read in FOIA cases.
The laptop was not an FBI record, it didn't show up in FOIA searches for documents. But they did find hard copy documents (not in the Sentinel system) that were property receipts for the laptop.
But the newly found documents are FOIA exempt because they are evidence connected to an ongoing criminal investigation. RIDS found them decided they were FOIA responsive, but that they were exempt from release under FOIA law.
All of the information that is being withheld is due to valid FOIA exemptions.
The exemptions claimed are described here:
Release would expose classified info, pending cases, privacy issues, & law enforcment techniques.
This evidence was collected by SCO Mueller's office & is relevant to the prosecution of alleged Russian intel agents for hacking the DNC>
The FBI determined these specific documents & records are not subject to FOIA release.
DOJ is also seeking clarification on the parameters of the judge's ruling in regard to Rich's personal laptop. Was the order to release any nonexempt information or was the judge waiving away the exemptions? courtlistener.com/docket/1721165…

These are not new investigations, you'll see in the thread below.
They started draining this Swamp during Trump's first term. But if you listen to fake news you didn't know about it, because they told you to say #ButNothingsHappening.
Tyson foods was caught up in a scheme where they paid $244 Million over 5 years to a ranch to raise & feed cattle that didn't exist. The ghost cattle were used to manipulate cattle prices so they could pay less to ranchers.
For those of you who got duped into thinking the Comey indictment was about Trump.
This is the issue, McCabe’s false claim that Comey approved his leak about the Clinton cases.
This case was about McCabe obstructing the Clinton investigations. When WSJ published that Clinton Foundation board members funded his wife’s campaign he had his Special Counsel Lisa Page leak to claim he wasn‘t protecting the Clintons.
McCabe & Page then tried to fight being recused from the Clinton cases. McCabe lied to the Attorney General & Comey trying to blame the leaks on NYFO FBI agents.
If Person 1 is Trump, then Comey isn’t guilty. Because he was asked about the ”Trump investigation” & there was no Trump investigation.
Person 3 would be James Baker.
But there is another possibility...
Because Comey was asked about 2 investigations, the nonexistent Trump investigation & the Clinton investigation.
So Person 2 could be Hillary Clinton & Person 3 would be Andrew McCabe.
So it would be McCabe’s word against Comey’s word.
Wait until you figure out it was Swampy Republicans, not Democrats, who pushed the false claims about Trump raping one of Epstein's victims because she reminded him of his teenage daughter.
I am going to break down the OIG report on FBI SAC of NYC Counterintelligence section & link it to other cases including #Spygate & the #RussiaHoax.
If you don't know yet, Trump & others were helping FBI hunt a Russian mole in FBI, Hillary told you a hoax. oig.justice.gov/sites/default/…
This investigation began by at least 2010, when someone within FBI tipped the Russians off that FBI was tracking Russian illegal agents working in the US.
Why warn the Russians? The FBI & Russian spies were getting close to the Clintons & DNC fundraising.
While none of this is covered in the report, the FBI mole hunters at FBI started investigating to identify the new Russian spies being sent to NYC. But to find the mole, you need an asset borrowed from another agency that the FBI agents don't know.
Male-1 playing a consultant.
Ukraine became defenseless. Then Clinton rigged the 1996 Russian election to ensure Yeltsin won. Later, Clinton & Blair would rig the 2000 election for Putin. Then Blair would rig the 2004 election for Putin.
That Swampy “WE” was at risk of being exposed by money laundering investigations tracking the billion dollars a day flying from NYC to Moscow.
Yeltsin & Clinton agree to have FBI Dir Freeh protect Gore & Putin’s 2000 election campaigns by shutting it down.
