Oh wait; no you can’t.

From the ACLJ.org:

Surprise: After Twice Denying Their Existence FBI Admits in Court it Found More Clinton-Lynch Tarmac Meeting Documents – 16 Pages and 2 Text Messages

by the ACLJ

After twice denying their existence – first lying to the ACLJ, and then once caught, claiming it had turned over all documents to the ACLJ – the FBI Deep State has just admitted in federal court that is has found new documents – 16 pages and 2 text messages – that it will be forced to turn over to the ACLJ by the end of the month.

In recently filed court documents, the FBI finally admitted – on its supposedly third search attempt – that it has located another batch of documents responsive to the ACLJ’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information relating to former Attorney General Lynch’s suspiciously timed and highly secretive meeting with former President Clinton on a tarmac in Arizona just days before it publicly exonerated Hillary Clinton.

Come on. Isn’t that just a tad severe, calling it “lying”? Maybe the agents or their IAs (the FBI employs what are termed Investigative Assistants, civilians who do an assload of background/scut-work for agents) were just feeling a bit lethargic those days. Bad allergies. Delayed borborygmus. Ankle swelling. Pimples. Who knows?

Specifically, the FBI reported that it has located an additional 16 pages and 2 text messages. The FBI informed the court that it will produce these documents to the ACLJ on or by May 31, 2018.

Hallelujah! It’s a miracle! They’re feeling fine now.

As we reported a few weeks ago, just days before the FBI was to file a response to the ACLJ’s motion for summary judgment challenging the adequacy of the FBI’s search for documents, the FBI, instead, filed a motion with the court requesting that summary judgment proceedings be stayed while the FBI conducted a third search for documents. Yes, you read that right. A third search.

Because, after all: nobody’s perfect. Right? Just try lying to an FBI agent during an interview. “Hey look, I wasn’t really lying. I was just sort of, well, you know.”

The FBI’s earlier searches were less than sufficient to comply with federal requirements under FOIA. In fact, following its first supposed search, the FBI claimed that “no records” existed responsive to the ACLJ’s FOIA request. The ACLJ later obtained evidence that proved the FBI’s claim false, and the ACLJ demanded another search. While a second search was conducted by the FBI, which produced some documents, it quickly became clear that the search was, again, inadequate.

Oh come on. No one’s perfect. We’re the US government. We have standards.

Right. Standards that we expect others to uphold — just not us. Or the U.S.

Nonetheless, the FBI did not volunteer to conduct another search for documents. The ACLJ had to demand another search in federal court. In fact, when it finally was forced to conduct this third search, we learned that it was going to be searching the FBI’s “Central Records System” – for the FIRST time. It was that bad.

Here is the ACLJ’s Jay Sekulow from August 4th of last year.

Why Trust the FBI?

There is a reason for the crisis of faith in our institutions

One thing about which thoughtful progressives and conservatives generally agree is that institutions matter. It is important to have a First Amendment and other protections for a free press, but you also need the New York Times, National Review, Wired, CNN, and, the times being what they are, In Touch Weekly and its Stormy Daniels coverage — or else the First Amendment is only a hypothetical. The irreplaceable nature of functioning institutions is why we can’t just drop off copies of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in Somalia and Afghanistan and expect to find thriving constitutional republics there a few years later. The right to a speedy trial doesn’t mean much if your courts are corrupt or inept. The right to petition the government for redress of grievances means nothing if the government is impotent or indifferent.

As the Washington Post is these days wont to say, “Democracy Dies In Darkness.” BZ suggests, instead, that “Democracy Dies In DC.”

When the IRS was in trouble for targeting tea-party organizations and other conservative groups in the run-up to the 2012 election, thousands of emails — evidence under subpoena — went missing. John Koskinen, then acting commissioner of the IRS, lied to Congress about how and why that happened, a fact he was later forced to acknowledge. As a legal question, the result of all that malfeasance — destroying evidence — was precisely squat. Lois Lerner walks the streets a free woman with a fat federal pension, and John Koskinen is perfectly comfortable showing his face in the daylight. And now it is the FBI’s turn. With serious questions being posed about the bureau’s activities during the 2016 election — about whether the bureau protected Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama in the matter of their habit of using off-the-books email communications to avoid ordinary oversight — the FBI has suddenly discovered months’ worth of communication between FBI counterintelligence specialist Peter Strzok and his paramour, FBI lawyer Lisa Page. The two exchanged politically charged messages about Trump and the Clinton email investigation, and Strzok wrote darkly of developing an “insurance policy” against Trump’s election, still regarded as highly unlikely at that time.

Ruh-roh. Actual damned questions. I sense some quivering from the Left Coast.

The texts went missing, and then were recovered. Or some of them were recovered. All of them? Whose word would you take on that? And why would you take the FBI’s word? Aaron Blake, writing in the Washington Post, argued that the “insurance policy” message looked bad, but not as bad as some on Trump’s side insisted. Well. He allowed that “it’s 100 percent true Mueller and his probe aren’t above reproach.”

And that, of course, is really what this is all about.

And that, of course, is factually correct.

It means, at the very least, not destroying evidence in a federal investigation. And no sane person believes for a nanosecond that those “lost” communications represent anything other than willful obstruction of justice. If you are on the FBI’s radar and you got a parking ticket in Sheboygan in 1983, the FBI knows whether you paid it. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a federal bureau in the business of conducting investigations.

Stand by for focusing like a laser beam.

No one believes that the IRS or the FBI is above reproach. No one seriously believes that the editors of the New York Times would have treated a President Hillary Clinton and a President Donald Trump in the same way. (One likewise wonders what Fox News would have made of partially documented claims that President Bill Clinton had paid $130,000 in hush money to a porn star who says she had an affair with him.) President Obama’s so-called scandal-free administration was in fact rife with abuses of power, from the IRS to the ATF to the EPA to the NLRB. Trump may sometimes attack our institutions without good cause; the Obama administration gave critics good cause to attack our institutions.

James Comey leaked. Let’s be honest.

Former US Attorney Joe diGenova nails it. “Comey, the dirtiest cop in America.”

James Kallstrom weighs in again. He is a former FBI Assistant Director who has his own thoughts on his former-beloved agency.

If there is anyone who should love the FBI, it is Kallstrom, a man who ascended into the heavens like Zeus. But then somehow managed to crash to earth like Daedalus.

What do agents think of the FBI’s situation?

But wait. Wasn’t it all the Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots who insisted that we must trust all the alphabet agencies? Hashtag #BecauseTrust?

James Clapper lied before Congress. He cannot even hold his head high whilst he lies.

Rand Paul stated so.

James Comey clearly lied.

And this.

But wait; most recently we discovered, courtesy of SaraACarter.com:

Former FBI Director Comey Consulted with Mueller on Russia Testimony

by Sara A. Carter

Judicial Watch discovers emails revealing coordination

A government watchdog group revealed Thursday that former FBI Director James Comey was advised by senior FBI officials to seek Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s advice prior to testifying before “any congressional committee” about President Donald Trump’s campaign and its alleged collusion with Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election, according to new emails obtained by Judicial Watch.

Nothing like the FBI again indicating its politicization and bias.

Comey was also advised to seek Mueller’s counsel on the circumstances surrounding his firing by Trump before providing testimony to Congress, the Department of Justice emails obtained by Judicial Watch reveal. It is the first time evidence reveals there was coordination between the Special Counsel and Comey in the long drawn out controversial Mueller investigation.

This not navel-gazing. This is proof. The only collusion is between the Deep State vs President Donald John Trump, et al.

“These documents show that James Comey, who was fired by the president, nevertheless had easy, friendly access to the FBI as he prepped his infamous anti-Trump testimony to the Senate,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, in a press release. “This collusion led to Comey’s attacking President Trump and misusing FBI records as part of a vendetta against the president.”

This is about keeping our country free because, as all Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots know, as well as Lucifer:

The devil is in fact in the details.

But wait; it’s not even ending there. From FoxNews.com:

Strassel: Did FBI outright spy on the 2016 Trump campaign?

We could go here.

There are so many other places.

Perhaps it’s simply time to stop now.

It is, frankly, just so bad for the FBI.
