One Deep State monster behind AG Jeff Session’s recusal from the Russia collusion mess is a monster – Tashina Gauhar.
The Last Refuge reminds us:
Dear @JeffClarkUS, it was called “March Toll” because the originating recusal plan was discussed, quietly, by the group. Two citations below for your review.
I’m sure you will note the importance of who was in the March 2nd recusal discussion meeting. (One highlighted name is Tash Gauhar.)

Tash Gauhar is a Deep State monster and it’s very hard to believe that Jeff Sessions gave her his job without knowing what he was doing.
From our prior reporting, the Conservative Treehouse notes that –
- There were only three people in the Mid-Year-Event team granted authority to physically do the Clinton email review.
- They were: FBI Agent Peter Strzok, FBI Attorney-1 Tashina “Tash” Gauhar, and an unnamed lead analyst.
- FBI Agent Peter Strzok says they were able to cull the number of emails through the use of “some amazing things to rapidly de-duplicate” the emails.
- The New York FBI case agent assigned to the Weiner investigation, a certified Digital Extraction Technician, as well as the FBI forensics team in Quantico say it was impossible to use the conflicted metadata to “de-duplicate” the emails.
- Someone is lying.
Here’s more on Tashina Gauhar from Tiger Droppings in July 2020:
According to those with direct knowledge, when Jeff Sessions recused (fire-walled) from anything to do with the special counsel in ’17, ’18, ’19, Rod Rosenstein “should have” held oversight. However, in his Senate Judiciary testimony of June 3, 2020, Rosenstein admitted that he conducted no oversight over the Mueller probe.
Rosenstein’s justification was he did not feel it was his position to question their “investigative processes“, later saying “everything was an investigative process“, ergo anything the special counsel was doing was considered valid; nothing was questioned, and Rosenstein felt it was his position to “facilitate” the Mueller team.
This is a key point: The special counsel took over Main Justice.
Which begs the question….. If Rosenstein was providing everything; who was managing the daily events inside Main Justice while the SC events were ongoing? Who was the internal coordinator for the legal and investigative crew? Who was the bridge? Answer:
Tashina “Tash” Gauhar, literally from the school and law firm of former Obama “wingman” Attorney General Eric Holder.
Tashina Gauhar was the Mid-Year-Exam (MYE) team member who was on a September 29, 2016, conference call with the FBI New York field office about the Weiner/Abedin laptop. Tash Gauhar was directly at the center, no, the epicenter, of the most controversial time frame for the Mid-Year-Event team.
Tashina was one of only three MYE people who actually had the responsibility to review the Clinton emails from the Weiner/Abedin laptop. [The other two were Peter Strzok and the unknown “lead analyst”]
Tashina is probably only eclipsed by Lisa Page and Peter Strzok in the level of influence within the entire Mid-Year-Team apparatus. “Tash”, as she was known to the team, is a hub amid a very tight circle. Tashina Gauhar held a great deal of influence. Suffice to say, the spawn of Eric Holder is a big deal in the story.
You know what other decision Tashina Gauhar was influential in?
Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recusal:
Yes, the DOJ lawyer at the heart of the Clinton-email investigation; the DOJ lawyer hired by Eric Holder at his firm and later at the DOJ; the DOJ lawyer who was transferred to the Clinton probe; the DOJ lawyer at the epicenter of the Weiner laptop issues, the only one from MYE who spoke to New York; the DOJ lawyer who constructs the FISA applications on behalf of Main Justice;…. just happens to be the same DOJ lawyer recommending to AG Jeff Sessions that he recuse himself.
Once Jeff Sessions recused, then what responsibilities did Tashina cover?
Tashina Gauhar was also the internal coordinator inside Main Justice who was the link between the special counsel and the resources of the entire department. Essentially, Rod Rosenstein’s willful blindness put Tashina in a position of power. This is how the special counsel group was able to take over Main Justice and coordinate their efforts. Everything flowed through Tash while she protected the Weissmann, Zelby, Van Grack, et al team as they went about targeting the Trump administration. These were the usurpers embedded inside Main Justice while carrying out the “insurance policy” mission.
Ms. Tashina Gauhar had quite a portfolio:
Tashina Gauhar left the DOJ in Nov 2019. She went to work for Boeing.
