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.

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?

This entire tanker deal between Boeing & the US Air Force was Swampy corruption.

Now the tankers are facing structural flaws.

Are they constructed from the titanium that the Clintons helped Dmitry Firtash sell to Boeing after bribing Indian officials to mine it?
FAA found that Boeing was buying titanium from sources that were falsifying the paperwork to hide where Boeing got it from.
Firtash is a Ukrainian oligarch who is friendly with Putin because he owns assets in both countries.

But he works with Swampy consulting firms like McKinsey & Co. to set ups Swampy deals & he hires the best lawyers to keep him out of a US prison.

Let's look at how President Trump tricked Putin into a far greater Russian defeat in Ukraine!

Trump learned the Rope-A-Dope from his friend Mohammed Ali!

Please excuse my poor 'artwork' replacing Ali & Fraser with Trump & Putin!
#ButNothingsHappening Image
Rope-a-dope is a boxing technique in which one contender leans against the ropes of the ring & draws non-injuring offensive punches, letting the opponent tire themself out. This gives the former the opportunity then to execute devastating offensive punches to help them win.
So while Putin & his fake news brag about Russia having Ukraine on the ropes, he is wasting what little is left of Russia's military, economy, & manpower to make ineffective attacks on wheat fields in the middle of nowhere.
While Ukraine's counterpunches are crushing Russia.

SDNY indicts Florida defense attorney & a local police detective for bribing DEA agents for information on behalf of members of drug cartels.

This is a continuation of cases investigated by DOJ IG Michael Horowitz during the Trump Administration.
#ButNothingsHappening
Edwin Pagan III was indicted in November based upon the OIG investigation.
Now David Macey has been indicted too & the charges agains Pagan have been expanded.
It started as 'tell me who is getting indicted so I can get them to hire me as their lawyer."
Became warn the cartels... Image

The unsealed indictment is available here:
I don't know why they don't name the 2 DEA agents as they have also been indicted in early cases based on the DOJ OIG investigation. justice.gov/d9/2025-02/u.s…Image

If you follow the fake news, you won't understand what
this means.
China is controlling rare earth minerals markets by buying Swamp creatures around the world to get mining rights & then not mine the minerals in places like Greenland & Ukraine.

Zelensky & Trump sprung the trap!
Why? Because the Clinton Admin through the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission sold those mining rights 30 years ago to oligarchs.
For Ukraine to resell the rights to the US, they must first prove that the sales to Clinton & Putin's oligarchs were corrupt!
So Trump & Zelensky have cut a deal predicated on Kiev helping Trump drain the Swamps in Ukraine, Russia, the UK, US & EU!

I guess Ekim Alpetkin & Bijan Kian will try anything to avoid flipping on Boeing & the Swamp creatures they own in Turkey & the US government...

#ButNothingsHappening
Turkish Airways bought a lot of Boeing jets to fly Swampy US politicians in First Class!

Of course, it wasn't just the flights. Adams took $10M in bribes including as illegal donations to help him win elections.

The term Narco-terrorism has been in use for decades.
Trump's new EO is based on western hemisphere drug cartels converging with hostile governments & other terrorists. Including efforts to control Swamps in countries vital to us.

Trump also includes TdA & MS-13 within the scope of this order. If you're not aware, El Chapo reportedly hired MS-13 to assassinate Donald Trump before he ran for President the 1st time.
Likely in retaliation for Trump helping FBI identify El Chapo's money laundering networks. Image
Trump has not designated these cartels terrorist organizations, but is ordering the Secretary of State in consultation with Treasury, AG, DHS, & DNI to draw up the list with all cartels that meet the definition within 14 days. Image
