Marc Turi, who had threatened to tell what he knows about Clinton’s involvement in supplying weapons to extremists battling Moammar Qadhafi. Government lawyers had tried to find a way to prosecute Turi, while at the same time preventing him from telling about the involvement of Hillary Clinton and the CIA. In the end, it became apparent that would never happen and Obama’s lawyers filed papers to drop all charges against Turi. Turi’s lawyers signed off on the request. He can never be charged with the same crime and is now a free man.
Obama’s lawyers were facing a Wednesday deadline in which they would have had to turn over all documents implicating Hillary and the CIA in arming the same extremists who killed the Benghazi Four. Obama and his lawyers were afraid information would leak from the documents before election day and destroy Hillary’s chances of winning.
A Turi associate asserted that the government dropped the case because the proceedings could have embarrassed Clinton and President Barack Obama by calling attention to the reported role of their administration in supplying weapons that fell into the hands of Islamic extremist militants.
“They don’t want this stuff to come out because it will look really bad for Obama and Clinton just before the election,” said the associate.
In the dismissal motion, prosecutors say “discovery rulings” from U.S. District Court Judge David Campbell contributed to the decision to drop the case. The joint motion asks the judge to accept a confidential agreement to resolve the case through a civil settlement between the State Department and the arms broker.
“Our position from the outset has been that this case never should have been brought and we’re glad it’s over,” said Jean-Jacques Cabou, a Perkins Coie partner serving as court-appointed defense counsel in the case. “Mr Turi didn’t break the law….We’re very glad the charges are being dismissed.”
