John P. Carlin was the Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) under President Barack Obama while the Russian collusion hoax was promulgated in 2015-16. Carlin abruptly resigned the day after being forced to admit to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that the Obama Justice Department perpetrated a massive fraud upon the Judiciary and had violated the civil rights of American citizens.[1]
Carlin essentially did a "kamikaze dive" in assuring the Obama administration's "insurance policy" against the election of Donald Trump would move forward. Carlin withheld from the FISA court critical details of an NSA Inspector General report, and an ongoing Compliance review, that the FBI and its contractors were engaged in Fourth Amendment violations of the rights of Americans. Carlin quit just days before the FISA warrant on Carter Page was submitted and approved. Two days later, the NSA informed the Court that the Obama Department of Justice and FBI had been abusing the FISA process since at least 2011.[2] The warrant approved two days earlier against Carter Page gave the FBI FISA Title I authority throughout the duration of the Trump transition,[3] and authority to apply the same extensive intrusions upon anyone Carter Page had phone, email or text contact with.
Carlin personally attended an October 4, 2016 FISA court hearing, and left the DOJ on October 15. NSA Director Adm. Mike Rogers informed the FISA court on October 23 of a pattern of FISA abuse in the Obama FBI and among contractors dating back months and years.[4] The court ascribed the Obama DOJ-NSD failure to disclose the abuses at the October 4 hearing, which Carlin attended,[5] to an institutional “lack of candor” and emphasized that “this is a very serious Fourth Amendment issue.”[6] In the interim, the Obama DOJ secured a FISA Title I warrant on Carter Page based on spurious opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC.[7]
Carter Page
On March 11, 2016 Carlin and Preet Bharara of the Southern District of New York (SDNY) couldn't help but toot their own horn in a DOJ press release upon the conviction of Evgeny Buryakov, an SVR agent for the Russian Federation. Another SVR agent, Igor Sporyshev, fled the country. The press release noted,
The FBI obtained the recordings after Sporyshev attempted to recruit an FBI undercover employee (“UCE-1”), who was posing as an analyst from a New York-based energy company. In response to requests from Sporyshev, UCE-1 provided Sporyshev with binders containing purported industry analysis written by UCE-1 and supporting documentation relating to UCE-1’s reports, as well as covertly placed recording devices. Sporyshev then took the binders to, among other places, the Residentura.[8]
Career
Carlin joined the DOJ-NSD after serving as Chief of Staff and Senior Counsel to Robert S. Mueller III, Director of the FBI. Carlin previously served as National Coordinator of DOJ’s Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property (CHIP) program and as an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) for the District of Columbia.
