President, Attorney General Allegedly Used Illegal Contracts to Suppress Disclosure of Unlawful Activity

Evidence: Contractors Allegedly Suppressing Criminal Activity

Curious what some might do to block oversight or investigations. War crimes prosecutors and investigators reviewing alleged FISA-NSA violations may wish to review this audit report. [ Ref Performance audit standard ]

Other contractors, working with the White House, have likely included similar statements to dissuade public release.

Documents may be of interest to analysts, and might raise concerns related to alleged war crimes and other illegal activity.

Recommendations

The Committee discuss methods to unlawfully suppress information, and prevent cross-government communications and analysis; and

Share with war crimes prosecutors the possible methods DoJ Staff Counsel and US Contracting officer have used to hide evidence related to unlawful US government activity, or alleged complicity by contractors to suppress war crimes related activity and support.

Legal Theory

Illegal rendition, illegal prisoner abuse, NSA-FISA violations, and Geneva war crimes are interwoven. The contract language, the subject of this audit, may have been the types of terms in the contracts related to

- Illegal war crimes planning on the known pretext of false WMD data;

- Unlawful prisoner abuse plans related to known unreliable information gathered illegally without adequate warrants;

- Unlawful kidnapping, rendition, and prisoner abuse using information illegally obtained without lawful warrants; or procured through illegal abuse;

- Unlawful threats against contractors to suppress information related to unlawful access to facilities that should have required a warrant;

- Illegal assurances or promises to telecoms to permit illegal access to data and facilities they had the duty to protect and safeguard under State privacy laws.

Allegation

Contracts were devised using similar terms to illegally suppress evidence of illegal activity, unlawful warrants, or illegal war crimes related activity.
