Obama Administration Funded Soros’ Left-Wing Activities in Albania

We obtained the records in our May 26, 2017, Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development after both the State Department and USAID failed to respond to our March 31, 2017, FOIA requests sent a letter to then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asking that he investigate charges that the U.S. government was using taxpayer funds to assist Soros in Albania.

The new records we released include an April 2016 memo from the U.S. Embassy in Tirana that reveals that the embassy "Sponsored" a survey along with Soros' Open Society Foundation to measure Albanian citizens' "Knowledge, support, and expectations on justice reform." The Soros group survey reported that "91% of respondents either 'fully support' or 'somewhat support' the need for judicial reform." The poll did not specify the type of reform the Soros group was seeking.

About three weeks ago, former Trump presidential campaign Chairman Paul Manafort asked a judge to dismiss Mueller's indictment against him, arguing that Mueller overstepped his jurisdiction in the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Yes, Mueller could have gone back to his putative supervisor - Rod Rosenstein at the Justice Department - and asked for permission to investigate Manafort.

Yes, since no one running the Justice Department seems willing to say no to King Mueller, permission would likely have been granted.

Rosenstein's August CYA memo demonstrates that when it comes to the Mueller operation, the Department of Justice is willing to throw the rule of law out the window.

Mueller isn't supervised on a day-to-day basis by any Senate-confirmed or otherwise accountable official in the Justice Department.
