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?

It's looking more & more like this alleged email from the Green Beret that committed suicide outside Trump's hotel in Las Vegas is fake.

The people behind it seem to have used an FBI statement about another message he sent to convince us that FBI confirmed this email was real.
So either he was batshit crazy or the person who fake this email wanted to make him look batshit crazy.
It is possible that they want to use this incident to trick people into thinking their batshit crazy ideas were shared by Livelsberger.
This press conference is discussing a completely different email. But it has been used to convince people, including myself that it was referring to the email in these threads.

The first flip by McKinsey!

Handed over the #receipts to DOJ to charge one of their former enior partners for helping fuel the opioid epidemic.

McKinsey is the world's Swampiest consulting firm!

Purdue Pharma case!

#ButNothingsHappening
McKinsey's Deferred Prosecution Agreement requires them to cooperate with FBI & DOJ for the next 5 years.

If they fail to cooperate in any way, this deal becomes their confession & the criminal charges are revived against the company.

Failure to cooperate could me debarment! Image
Debarment would mean that they would lose all their federal contracts & be prohibited from bidding on more for a certain number of years.

"Consulting" government agencies is one of their biggest businesses. But they also consult companies trying to evade the same govt. agencies!

CEO of UnitedHealthcare's insurance division gunned own in Manhattan outside of annual investor meeting.
Prior to 2021, he headed UH's govt division covering Medicare & retirement that Trump's DOJ accused of billions in fraud. #ButNothingsHappening nypost.com/2024/12/04/us-…
In 2003, UnitedHealthcare & othe insurance companies convinced Congress & the Bush Admin to create Medicare Advantage claiming they could save the govt. money.
Instead they overbilled the US for more than a decade until the Obama Admin investigated.

After manipulating rates by spying on patient medical records & using 'consultants' to find hidden patient medical problems so they could raise their 'risk' rate & bill higher premiums from Medicare, then they switched to an AI program to deny their care. cbsnews.com/news/unitedhea…

yWhat may be the biggest part of the agreement, DOJ is referring Raytheon to DOD & other agencies to begin a review to determine if Raytheon or individuals involved should be suspended from government contracts & debarred from future contracts! Image
So in addition to the corruption & bribery, the risks of Raytheon committing crimes to conceal corruption related to arms sales to foreign governments is a major factor in this case.
Opens contractors up to other off the books deals. Image
Raytheon as a corporation has now flipped on their executives who made these decisions. Which means Raytheon can only survive as a business & defense contractor if it provides all the receipts for criminal prosecutions. Image

The Swamp draining gets to Raytheon!

Not to mention more Swamp draining in Qatar!

#ButNothingsHappening
Raytheon will pay $950 million to settle the allegations against the company for several different criminal schemse the company participated in.
Raytheon accepted a deferred prosecution agreement that becomes a confession at trial if they don't cooperate!
justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/r…
The 1st set of charges are in EDNY. Bribing Qatari officials for defense contracts.
Then conspiracy by not report the bribes on the paperwork requesting permission to export the arms to Qatar. This sets a precedent for EVERY arms export deal! Image

Continuing to drain the Swamp in New York City.

Mayor Adams indicted by the DOJ following an FBI investigation.

And people still want to side with the Swamp against th FBI & DOJ.
Why could they still believe #ButNothingsHappening after 14 years of indictments & convictions?
I wonder how he got caught?

Could it be one of Trump's partners in catching Swamp creatures for the FBI? Image
The Republican Swamp Creatures are upset that another Democrat Swamp Creature is gettig drained!

Usually they aren't this blatant in defending corrupt Democrats. Image
