Alaska GOP unanimous on need for special prosecutor to investigate abuses by FBI, Justice Department

31

The Alaska Republican Party officers meeting in Soldotna on Saturday were unanimous in passing a resolution in favor of a special prosecutor being appointed to investigate political abuses by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Justice Department, and the White House.

Some of the instances of weaponization of the justice system that are highlighted by the resolution include:

  • After a private meeting between former President Bill Clinton and Department of
    Justice (DOJ) US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the Attorney General asked FBI
    Director James Comey to downplay an investigation into then presidential
    candidate Hillary Clinton’s improper storage of classified documents on her private
    email server,
  • The FBI allegedly subsequently attempted to influence the 2016 presidential
    election by concluding that candidate Hillary Clinton had not violated federal law
    when, in actuality, the FBI had found nearly 100 emails on her private email server
    that were, or should have been, classified as “Secret” or “Top Secret,”
  • The FBI allegedly conducted illegal surveillance of Republican political candidates
    and campaigns under Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court warrants
    based on false, misleading, unverified, or incomplete information,
  • The FBI allegedly suppressed freedom of speech by conservatives on social
    media,
  • The FBI allegedly withheld information from congress and suppressed information
    and evidence of potential influence peddling by members of the executive branch,
  • FBI leadership reportedly retaliated against whistleblowers within the agency,
  • The FBI Director refused to cooperate with congress by attempting to withhold
    unclassified information pertaining to potential money-laundering activities by
    member(s) of the executive branch and family members,
  • The DOJ allegedly removed an IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent and his
  • entire team from a “high profile, controversial on-going investigation” concerning Hunter Biden,
  • The FBI “violated federal whistleblower protection laws and abused it’s own security clearance review process to hamstring the brave agents who exercised their right to make protected disclosures to Congress or who dared to question agency leadership,”
  • Special Counsel Durham’s May 23, 2023 Report concluded the FBI should neve have initiated an investigation over “Russian Collusion” and stated that the FBI “failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report,”
  • The Durham report further concluded by stating that the DOJ and FBI acted without “appropriate objectivity or restraint in pursuing allegations of collusion or conspiracy between a U.S. political campaign and a foreign power.”

In each instance cited, the FBI systematically failed to pursue criminal investigations and prosecutions against Democrat candidates while pursuing investigations against Republican candidates, and it appears the FBI is being politically weaponized in favor of Democrats and
against Republicans, thereby undermining trust by the American people that the federal
government performs its law enforcement duties with fairness and political neutrality, the resolution said.

The meeting was a quarterly gathering of the officers of the Alaska Republican Party’s State Central Committee.
