Transparency so thick you have to cut it with a knife

"Why the DOJ didn’t charge Nellie Ohr with lying to Congress is the least significant of the questions raised by last week’s release of the Washington Field Office’s EC."

The catalogue of evidence against Nellie Ohr, who is married to Bruce Ohr — one of the key FBI Russia-collusion hoaxers — raises the question of why the DOJ never pursued criminal charges against the Fusion GPS contractor. The EC also suggests that Nellie Ohr’s open-source research may have made its way into the Steele dossier and the fraudulent Alfa Bank materials provided to the FBI.
Those details, however, pale in comparison to two explosive facts the EC revealed by way of background. First, the EC explained the FBI’s Sentinel case management system allows investigative material to be coded “Prohibited Access,” which renders the files not merely inaccessible to other agents — but invisible to them. And second, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team designated the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations “Prohibited Access” in Sentinel, meaning any agents running keyword search in Sentinel would wrongly believe there were no responsive documents.

The wraith of Lavrentiy Beria says:

"Sweet! You FBI guys are really killing it!"

  1. Margot has been killing it on X with this and other posts.

    This is an example of how IT systems can be manipulated for nefarious reasons.

    If the "Prohibited Access" had been coded to be displayed on searches by anyone, this would a puzzling, but not nefarious, classification.

    As it is ... ... Margot was thorough enough to read the footnotes and catch it.

    Lucky for us.
