DOJ drops charges against alleged broker of Libyan weapons
An arms dealer who had threatened to reveal potentially damaging information about Hillary Clinton's alleged role in arming Islamist militants until federal prosecutors abruptly dropped their case against him Tuesday, told Fox News the case has cost him everything.

Federal prosecutors faced a Wednesday deadline to turn over discovery documents to the legal team of American Marc Turi, who had been charged with selling weapons to Libyan rebels. Late Tuesday, an announcement came that the government was dropping the case, which was set to go to trial on Nov. 8 – the day American voters choose between Clinton and GOP nominee Donald Trump. The move may avert a release of potentially explosive documents.

“I am glad this horrific five-year ordeal is over and I am pleased to be able to move on with my life," Turi told Fox News in a statement. "The American public has the right to know that an injustice was committed against an innocent American."

Turi said his legal team advised him to accept the deal and avoid a trial, but insisted that his actions were in furtherance of his ongoing support of U.S. foreign policy. He said defending himself in a case that has now been dropped has cost him everything.

"The government took away my life, my savings, and my company that I worked so hard to build to serve our nation, and for what?" he said. "I still don’t really know who the unjust actors were who launched this attack against me from the shadows. I just hope that someday there will be someone that will be held accountable."

Last year, in his only extended television interview, Turi provided Fox News with documents and email exchanges he had with high-level members of Congress as well as military, and State Department employees to back up his claim that the Obama administration authorized in 2011, at the height of the Arab Spring, a covert weapons program that spun out of control.

"That's where I came up with this 'zero footprint' Arab supply chain, whereby, our foreign ally supplies another, Arab country," Turi said. In this case, the US would supply conventional weapons to a U.S. ally-Qatar, who would inturn supply them to Libya, as a kind of workaround.

"If you want to  limit the exposure to the US government, what you simply do is outsource it to your allies,"  Turi said, describing the practice. "The partners-the Qataris, and the Emiratis did exactly what they were contracted to do."

Turi told Fox he never supplied any weapons to Qatar, and it was in the hands of the U.S. government and the State Department's Bureau of Political and Military Affairs which was headed by a key Clinton aide, Andrew Shapiro. Shapiro was responsible to oversee the export control process at the State Department.

“They don’t want this stuff to come out because it will look really bad for Obama and Clinton just before the election,” an associate of Turi told Politico, claiming that information sought by Turi’s team would show Clinton’s own role in arming Libyan rebels fighting former strongman Col. Muammar Qaddafi while she was secretary of state.





Can You spot the subtle brainwashing move?

And what about the story?
Isn't that just obvious?
The world doesn't operate anything like what would be the average persons opinions about how it works.
There really is evil. There really are powers. And
Strongman Moamarr Gaddafi was one of the good guys.

Why do you think Bush wants Hillary?
Answer that and therein lies the answer....

Not Just for status quo, but just imagine the possibilities...
Some stuff has no statute of limitations.

I think you're giving them Way too much credit as decent people.
They NEVER managed to repeal any lousy legislation,EVER.
BUT, I'm supposed to believe that they are ideologically opposed, yeah,, I'm sure.

Spoils dude, collateral damage, obstacles in the way, etc....
I guess you skipped over the "ends justify the means" part, eh?

Tell me, if anyone, you, me, Mary Poppins, believe our motivation is just and pure, and we believe others should benefit from OUR goodness, even if it's against their will, how do we differ than them?

Please try and understand I am not condoning what they did, it was barbaric and absolutely morally wrong.
What I am talking about is their belief in THEMSELVES, not in what they SAID they believed.

BTW, I ain't yelling, just trying to focus in one what I am trying to convey.

Look at the political world leaders, how many really practice what they preach?
Or do they perform better at blaming others for failures, etc?
Honestly, can you name one who exhibits the real quality of leadership?

Well, that just depends on what someone Needs.
Armed robbery,, that's a limited battlefield, skirmish.
The spoils were the reason.
Don't believe that leaders of gangs don't want to take turf, in order to benefit from the enlarged arena of control, and it scales up. And wars are fought, while the dumbmasses are TOLD that the war is about great and noble principles, it's really about..... other things.

And Rockefeller THANKED the Media,  

But none see how it matters.

And Rockefeller THANKED the Media,  

Some saw the correlation decades ago.
Was it Stalling that put the fall of democracy, because of this relationship?
