The team investigating collusion was itself colluding!
Likewise, key evidence that the DOJ used to indict Firtash on corruption charges in 2014 was falling apart. Two central witnesses were in the process of recanting testimony, and a document the FBI portrayed as bribery evidence inside Firtash’s company was exposed as a hypothetical slide from an American consultant’s PowerPoint presentation, according to court records I reviewed.

The FBI’s incompetence saves us from becoming a police state.
Thank god for John Solomon and Sara Carter.
Mueller will cancel his testimony.
Instead of charging AW, they decided to back him and pay him handsomely. What a scumbag!
Will we ever see that sorry SOB in jail? His misconduct goes way back to Enron and Arthur Anderson...hope Sidney Powell sends him a summons now that she’s Gen. Flynn’s attorney. Weissman is the lowest of the low.....
...Firtash’s lawyers also offered the Austrian court evidence of alleged prosecutorial wrongdoing.
A key document submitted to Austrian authorities to support Firtash’s extradition was portrayed by DOJ as having come from Firtash’s corporate files and purported to show he sanctioned a bribery scheme in India. In fact, the document was created by the McKinsey consulting firm as part of a hypothetical ethics presentation for the Boeing Co. and had no connection to Firstash’s firm.
Moreover, McKinsey claims in an official statement that it had no knowledge of a bribery scheme by Firtash, and the PowerPoint’s use of the phrase “bribery payments” never came from Firtash or his company and were, instead, hypothetical “assumptions by McKinsey about standard business practices in India,” according to the new Austrian court filing.
Firtash’s U.S. legal team told me it alerted Weissmann to DOJ’s false portrayal of the McKinsey document in 2017, but he downplayed the concerns and refused to alert the Austrian court. The document was never withdrawn as evidence, even after the New York Times published a story last December questioning its validity.
“Submitting a false and misleading document to a foreign sovereign and its courts for an extradition decision is not only unethical but also flouts the comity of trust necessary for that process where judicial systems rely only on documents to make that decision,” Firtash’s American legal team wrote in a statement to me. “DOJ’s refusal to rescind the document after being specifically told it is false and misleading is an egregious violation of U.S. and international law.” ...
I find that frightening. Were they all covering for one another...regardless of what they knew? Closing rank?
What I've seen from the FBI over the last couple of decades or so, gives me a distrust for an agency(s) that are supposed to be there to protect Americans.
All the criminality, conspiracy of the Clinton gang and deep state being swept under the rug.
I’m not sure what that opening article says.
Is the Firtash defense now in a position to say that Weissman (or the gov’t) is getting revenge on Firtash for not coming up with something/s against Trump? And they are going to punish him by prolonging the investigation/prosecution?
I don’t think my bookshelf will hold all the “tell-all” books that are going to come out about this Russia-Russia-Russia era over the next 5 years.
