DoJ drops charges against arms dealer who says he can implicate Clinton in
scheme to arm Libyan rebels
By Rick Moran
The Department of Justice is dropping charges against an arms dealer who
says he can expose Hillary Clinton's role in illegally arming terrorists in
Libya.
American Marc Turi had been charged with selling weapons to Libyan rebels at
a time when it was illegal to do so. An associate of Turi's claims the DoJ
was dropping the charges because the revelations about Clinton's Libya
policies would sink her campaign.
Politico:
The deal averts a trial that threatened to cast additional scrutiny on
Hillary Clinton’s private emails as Secretary of State, and to expose
reported Central Intelligence Agency attempts to arm rebels fighting Libyan
leader Moammar Qadhafi.
Government lawyers were facing a Wednesday deadline to produce documents
to Turi’s legal team, and the trial was officially set to begin on
Election Day, although it likely would have been delayed by protracted
disputes about classified information in the case.
A Turi associate asserted that the government dropped the case because
the proceedings could have embarrassed Clinton and President Barack Obama by
calling attention to the reported role of their administration in supplying
weapons that fell into the hands of Islamic extremist militants.
“They don’t want this stuff to come out because it will look really
bad for Obama and Clinton just before the election,” said the associate.
In the dismissal motion, prosecutors say “discovery rulings” from U.S.
District Court Judge David Campbell contributed to the decision to drop the
case. The joint motion asks the judge to accept a confidential agreement to
resolve the case through a civil settlement between the State Department
and the arms broker.
Why a "confidential agreement"? Especially since the case is being resolved
through a civil settlement? This stinks to high heaven as another coverup by
the Obama administration to protect Hillary Clinton.
Turi adviser Robert Stryk of the government relations and consulting
firm SPG accused the government of trying to scapegoat Turi to cover up
Clinton’s mishandling of Libya.
“The U.S. government spent millions of dollars, went all over the world
to bankrupt him, and destroyed his life — all to protect Hillary Clinton’
s crimes,” he said, alluding to the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack
on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Republicans hold Clinton responsible for mishandling the circumstances
around that attack. And Stryk said that Turi was now weighing book and movie
deals to tell his story, and to weigh in on the Benghazi attack.
Representatives of the Justice Department, the White House and Clinton’
s presidential campaign either declined to comment or did not respond to
requests for comment on the case or the settlement.
Turi was indicted in 2014 on four felony counts: two of arms dealing in
violation of the Arms Export Control Act and two of lying to the State
Department in official applications. The charges accused Turi of claiming
that the weapons involved were destined for Qatar and the United Arab
Emirates, when the arms were actually intended to reach Libya.
Turi’s lawyers argued that the shipments were part of a U.S. government
-authorized effort to arm Libyan rebels.
It’s unclear if any of the weapons made it to Libya, and there’s no
evidence linking weapons provided by the U.S. government to the Benghazi
attacks.
“The proposal did not result in an actual transfer of defense articles
to Libya,” the State Department official told POLITICO on Tuesday.
How about evidence of weapons ending up in the hands of terrorists? Whether
the weapons were used by those who attacked our consulate and the CIA annex
or not, any weapons that were sold to, or appropriated by terrorists
constitutes at the very least a gross error in judgment that, by all rights,
should sink the Clinton campaign.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been threatening to release damaging
information on Hillary Clinton for weeks. But on Tuesday, at an event in
Berlin celebrating the 10th anniversary of the hacker group, all Assange
would say via video link was that he would release the documents before the
November election.
Could some of that information relate to illegal arms sales by the Obama
administration to terrorists?
Turi told Fox News back in July about the US illegally supplying Libyan
rebels with arms and that the administration knew that not all of them were
going to arm rebels:
"When this equipment landed in Libya, half went one way, and the half
went the other way," Turi said, emphasizing that poor oversight, allowed
individuals hostile to the United States to get arms. "The half that went
the other way is the half that ended up in Syria."
Turi believed he was involved in a covert operation to sell arms to Qatar
and the UAE who would then fly the weapons to Libya. But once it became
clear he could expose Hillary Clinton and President Obama's illegal
activities, DoJ pursued the criminal case against him.
It won't be easy finding evidence against Clinton. No doubt DoJ has buried
it all. But Turi makes a convincing case that the cover up is ongoing. The
administration will apparently go to great lengths to hide the truth and
save the Clinton candidacy.
