TCH | Who was the internal coordinator for the legal and investigative crew? Who was the bridge? Answer:
Tashina “Tash” Gauhar, literally from the school and law firm of former Obama “wingman” Attorney General Eric Holder.
2009- Tashina Gauhar is the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Intelligence. Ms. Gauhar has extensive experience working with the U.S. Intelligence Community and has held a variety of national security positions within the Department since 2001, including serving as an Assistant Counsel in the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review and later as the Deputy Chief of Operations in the Office of Intelligence, and recently the Chief of Operations. Prior to joining the Justice Department, Ms. Gauhar was an associate at the law firm of DLA Piper (then Piper Marbury Rudnick and Wolfe, LLP). (link)
Tashina Gauhar was the Mid-Year-Exam (MYE)
team member who was on a September 29, 2016, conference call with the
FBI New York field office about the Weiner/Abedin laptop. Tash Gauhar
was directly at the center, no, the epicenter, of the most controversial time frame for the Mid-Year-Event team.
Tashina was one of only three MYE people
who actually had the responsibility to review the Clinton emails from
the Weiner/Abedin laptop. [The other two were Peter Strzok and the
unknown “lead analyst”]
Tashina is probably only eclipsed by Lisa
Page and Peter Strzok in the level of influence within the entire
Mid-Year-Team apparatus. “Tash”, as she was known to the team, is a hub
amid a very tight circle. Tashina Gauhar held a great deal of
influence. Suffice to say, the spawn of Eric Holder is a big deal in
the story.
You know what other decision Tashina Gauhar was influential in?
Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recusal:
Note this meeting was on March 2nd, 2017. Which prompted this announcement:
WASHINGTON POST, March 2 2017 – Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Thursday that he will recuse himself from investigations related to the 2016 presidential campaign, which would include any Russian interference in the electoral process.
Speaking at a hastily called news conference at the Justice Department, Sessions said he was following the recommendation of department ethics officials after an evaluation of the rules and cases in which he might have a conflict.
“They said that since I had involvement with the campaign, I should not be involved in any campaign investigation,” Sessions said. He added that he concurred with their assessment and would thus recuse himself from any existing or future investigation involving President Trump’s 2016 campaign. (link)
Yes, the DOJ lawyer at the heart of the
Clinton-email investigation; the DOJ lawyer hired by Eric Holder at his
firm and later at the DOJ; the DOJ lawyer who was transferred to the
Clinton probe; the DOJ lawyer at the epicenter of the Weiner laptop
issues, the only one from MYE who spoke to New York; the DOJ lawyer who
constructs the FISA applications on behalf of Main Justice;…. just
happens to be the same DOJ lawyer recommending to AG Jeff Sessions that
he recuse himself.
