DOJ’s 50-Year Gag Proposal For Grand Jury Material Would Hide Mueller Records Until 2069

The U.S. Department of Justice is considering imposing a 50-year secrecy rule on the release of material from federal grand juries, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
 
The proposal, first recommended while Donald Trump was president, came from senior Justice Department lawyer Jonathan Wroblewski in a memo to New York State appellate Judge Michael Garcia, also a member of the advisory committee of criminal rules.
 
“We believe an amendment to Rule 6(e) would be appropriate to authorize the release of grand jury records of ‘exceptional historical significance’ in certain circumstances after 50 years,” Wroblewski wrote in a letter to the rules committee. “[W]e now think 30 years is too short. … Grand jury secrecy should be preserved except in the most extraordinary cases of historical value.”
 
Now the Biden administration is moving forward with the rule proposal despite concerns that this extended period of secrecy would damage the legal system.
 



 
While the Washington Post reports that a DOJ spokesman said “the legal fight over the Mueller grand jury had no impact on the department’s desire to amend the rules,” the proposed change could prevent the release of special counsel Robert Mueller grand jury information. Just last year, the Supreme Court granted the DOJ’s wishes by blocking House Democrats’ efforts to obtain the Mueller material. After the Democrats waged another failed impeachment attack against Trump, the “issue was declared moot.”
 
“[The DOJ] has maintained support for the release of archival grand jury materials of great historical significance after several decades have passed and no living person or ongoing investigation will be prejudiced or harmed,” spokesman Joshua Stueve said, promising “greater openness, not less” while still “protecting the innocent.”

The FBI and DNC collude with Clinton to get her installed at President..then when she loses, concoct a criminal-level misinformation hoax about Russian Collusion.

When debunked, completely, they just pull in a few facebook ads and say it’s Russian “interference”.

Now, after they succeeded in installing Biden, they dare to claim an “insurrection” happened…one largely engineered and planned for by the Democrats and their FBI lackeys.

This is tyranny, pure and simple.

mueller is a pathetic joke. it was quite obvious during the hearings, and under alleged oath, he was clueless to the content of his alleged report. the doj excuse is pure BS. the doj, fbi, cia and all governmental sectors are corrupt with communism. no joke, the career pedophile faux pres., is the dead horse of the demorats. the sequestered material has already been changed and copious amounts of materials deleted. the repost is now sanitized to fit the communist narrative of the alleged impeachment .
Notice the pending Olympics, the US did not send the A team but a bunch of PC whores and pimps. In the past, the US has done well. one can expect, this game year, to be brutally beaten in all events. russia and ccp are sending their best athletes to whip the pansy ass American athletes.

No doubt the techniques and phony accusations contained in that documentation of the witch hunt would incriminate hundreds.
