NEW: DOJ inspector general's office released a report finding a now-former senior DOJ official sexually assaulted and sexually harassed women working for him — no criminal prosecution, the official retired, he isn't named oig.justice.gov/reports/2018/f…
STORY: A new inspector general report says investigators "substantiated" allegations that a now-retired senior DOJ official sexually assaulted and sexually harassed women working below him — the official is not named and was not prosecuted buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The inspector general's office does not identify officials who it finds committed misconduct in these short investigative summaries. OIG generally releases full reports via FOIA, but sometimes still redacts names. BuzzFeed is in court challenging this: law360.com/articles/97508…
DOJ statement on today's inspector general report finding that a former senior DOJ official sexually assaulted and harassed female subordinates: "The Department of Justice does not tolerate sexual harassment, abuse, or assault in the workplace in any form" buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Some fireworks in court this morning as a judge criticized the lawyer representing Concord Management & Consulting in the special counsel Russian troll farm case for his language and harsh words about Mueller's office in filings — "unprofessional, inappropriate, and ineffective"
The judge told attorney Eric Dubelier that his strategy was "ineffective" and that his approach to filings — including pop culture quotes (see: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5676…) and accusing Mueller's office basically of lawlessness — was "undermining your credibility in this courthouse"
"Knock it off," Judge Dabney Friedrich told Dubelier. This then led to a heated exchange where Dubelier said he needed to consult his client since the judge had accused of unprofessional conduct, and now there might be bias from the judge. There's no bias, the judge replied.

New: This morning the DC Circuit vacated an injunction that had blocked the Trump admin's ban on transgender military service — this doesn't change the status quo, since injunctions issued by other courts still stand, but it's still noteworthy assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5674…
This is the first win for the administration in litigation over the transgender military service policy — judges in DC, WA, and CA issued injunctions. The cases went up on appeal, but DOJ then petitioned SCOTUS before the circuits ruled, which was unusual: buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
SCOTUS hasn't weighed in yet, and now in the meantime the DC Circuit has issued a ruling. It's a per curiam judgment, and not "published," which means it's not precedent for the circuit and no one judge on the panel is the named author, it's just on behalf of the court

Remember how Jerome Corsi filed a civil lawsuit against Robert Mueller, claiming various violations of his rights? A judge today denied Corsi's bid to have the case assigned to the same judge who ruled against the NSA bulk surveillance program a few years ago, Judge Richard Leon
Corsi is represented by Larry Klayman, who argued the NSA case before Leon. Normally cases are randomly assigned, unless they're related to another case. Klayman today argued the cases were related, since Corsi claims he's been illegally surveiled by the special counsel's office
But "related" has specific meanings under the court rules. For cases that have been dismissed at the district court level, as Klayman's NSA cases were (he's on appeal), Corsi's case would need to involve the same parties and subject to be "related"

NEW: 12 former senior intel official issue statement on "ill-considered & unprecedented remarks & actions by the White House" re former @CIA Dir. @JohnBrennan

"Insinuations and allegations of wrongdoing on the part of Brennan while in office are baseless," they say
"The president’s action regarding John Brennan and the threats of similar action against other former officials has nothing to do with who should and should not hold security clearances – and everything to do with an attempt to stifle free speech" per statement
"We have never before seen the approval or removal of security clearances used as a political tool...this action is quite clearly a signal to other former and current officials" the former intel officials say
re @POTUS revoking @JohnBrennan's security clearance

1) James Clapper appears to have what might best be described as a casual relationship with the truth.
themarketswork.com/2018/04/27/cla…
2) Clapper - along w/Brennan - was the architect of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) – Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections.

3) The DNI’s Intelligence Community Assessment was constructed by three men:

Former DNI James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan and to a lesser extent, former FBI Director James Comey (Strzok also there w/assist).

The ICA was used to push the Russian Narrative.

JUST IN: The Inspector General of DHS released a report showing ICE fails to meet basic detention standards, with little to no accountability.

This comes on the heels of DHS's plans to jail tens of thousands of immigrants, including children and their parents, on military bases.
The independent DHS Inspector General has exposed how ineffectual ICE inspections are, and how delinquent the agency is in addressing serious violations. In some cases, inspectors outright lied — and were caught by the Inspector General during the course of its investigation.
It's been clear for decades that ICE is a rogue agency with little to no oversight.

We're nearing 200 deaths in ICE detention. It's time to demand that Congress stop funding ICE's jailing of immigrants and reject Trump's attempts to build massive family prison camps.

So here’s the thing. I’ve told you all repeatedly that I trust Scott Schools who would be the senior career official referenced below in Sessions’ statement. I stand behind that now. I trust Schools (and Rod) appropriately and honorably on what McCabe did. I also trust /1
Robin Ashton who is career (not political) & the head of OPR. So what this tells me is 2 things: (1) McCabe screwed up something bad enough that Robin and Scott supported this; and (2) Sessions just put the icing on the politicization of DOJ cake. What is important to realize /2
Is that Sessions did not HAVE to fire McCabe. He had discretion to let the clock run out and let McCabe retire. He did not have to fire McCabe and usually - in order to protect the political folks - Sessions wouldn’t put his name on this. Sessions is on his knees for Trump and /3
