Remember last year when the chair of House Financial Services directed agencies to treat communications as congressional records, not agency records, to shield from FOIA? buzzfeednews.com/article/maryan… There's a ruling today in a FOIA case about all that: ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_p… 
The court judge ruled DOJ has to turn over a few redacted documents involving communications with the White House related to a FOIA request for docs re: the Hensarling situation — the judge reviewed the docs and said they're not protected by attorney-client privilege
On the other hand, the judge found that DOJ properly withheld documents between an exec branch agency and three DOJ offices — some are a clear request for legal advice and some divule confidential agency info, he wrote
Taking a few steps back, this is also your regular reminder that a lawsuit filed over whatever is in the news right now can take quite a while to actually move through the courts!
