Lisa is a high-powered attorney in Washington, DC, who specializes in opposing [[Freedom of Information Act]] requests on behalf of the [[Deep State]], err, I mean, the [[Intelligence Community|Intelligence Communities]].<br><br>Lisa Barsoomian works for R. Craig Lawrence, an attorney who has represented Robert Mueller three times, James Comey five times, Barack Obama forty-five times, [[Kathleen Sebellius]] fifty-six times, [[Bill Clinton]] forty times, and []Hillary Clinton seventeen times between 1991 and 2017.<br><br>Barsoomian participated in some of this work personally and has herself represented the FBI at least five separate times. It would be great to research the specifics of the cases she worked in, many of the documents from the Court Docket relating to these cases have been removed from the [[D.C. District and Appeals Court]], including her representation for Clinton in 1998’s case ''Hamburg. V. Clinton''.<ref>https://stonecoldtruth.com/muller-rosenstein-and-comey-the-three-amigos-from-the-deep-state/ </ref>}}
