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?

I remember when the naysayers complained that JPMorgan Chase & Credit Suisse were getting away with it when the companies admitted they were guilty & cooperated.
That the people were going to get away & not be prosecuted.
#ButNothingsHappening
This case started her with JP Morgan, Credit Suiss, & then expanded to Merrill Lynch...

Then the individuals start pleading guilty.

Ukrainian politician Andrii Derkach was indicted yesterday for violating US sanctions.
I have to give a hat tip to @emptywheel who noticed that he is being prosecuted by 2 members of Special Counsel Durham's team.
Which may be very important!
justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/r… Image
Why is he in violation of US sanctions?
Because the Trump Administration sanctioned Derkach in Sept of 2020 for election interference by providing falsified documents & audio of Joe Biden in an attempt to frame Biden for colluding with Ukrainians.
Two of Durham's team have indicted (for other crimes) a Ukrainian politician who provided Trump's lawyer & oppo research team fake evidence against Biden that Rudy then gave to FBI & DOJ with the 'intent' of triggering a collusion investigation against Biden before the election.

That 1MBD case that Louis Freeh was working on when he was failing to get the Obama Admin to help obstruct the investigation was a $5B fraud that stole money from the taxpayers of Malaysia & was coordinated by Goldman Sachs & Deutsche Bank.
This case is global & connects to the Swamps in the US, China, UK, German, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia & so many more. With Hillary's defeat, the 1MDB defendants switched to trying to convince Trump to obstruct the FBI investigation.
The exposure started in 2018 with the indictment of DOJ attorney assigned to assist Congress, his name George Higginbotham.
He was busted for a faield attempt to bribe Trump for a bunch of Hillary donors to obstruct the 1MBD investigation.

CBS has posted a link to the indictment for former US Congressman & former Florida Representative David Rivera.
Also indicted is Esther Nuhfer, a GOPe fundraiser also based in Florida.
They received $50M to illegally influence the Trump Admin & Congress.
scribd.com/document/61250…
Earlier this year, Rivera lost a 5 year fight to throw out a $456k FEC fine for illegally funding a Democratic candidate in 2012.
He funded a Dem primary opponent in an effort to damage his opponent for the general election.
He still lost...

It's like the prosecutors created this defense for the Trump Org.
The prosecutors got Weisselberg to plead guilty for doing it on his own & set the entire strategy for exonerating Trump.
Me thinks the counsel doth protest too much!
#ButNothingsHappening
The Manhattan prosecutors are also complaining that the guy they gave immunity to get him to testify is telling the truth & not what they want him to tell the jury!
Almost like they gave him immunity to let him muddy the waters for the jury...
But the prosecutors have to keep the jurors in the dark.

There is no way they can tell the jurors that the Trump Organization has served as an FBI honeytrap for decades. That the prosecutors are just trying to make the case go away without explaining why!

So Rodney Joffe's front company TrustCor Systems is getting booted by the internet browsers because of revelations that it has the same officers as Packet Forensics...

@Whataboutthene1 Their service is supposed to guarantee that a website is genuine & who it says it is. But as we have noticed with other branches of Neustar, there have been questions about access by pretending to be on a network... Image
@Whataboutthene1 Packet Forensics came into focus during the Durham indictment of Hillary's lawyer Michael Sussmann. They were involved in data collection & spying against then candidate Trump & later President Trump. Image
