BREAKING: Judicial Watch today announced it received 756 pages of newly uncovered emails that were among the materials former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to delete or destroy, several of which were classified (1/4).

jwatch.us/GGhcSZ
In 2017, the FBI uncovered 72,000 pages of documents Clinton attempted to delete or did not otherwise disclose. Until the court intervened & established a new deadline, the State Dept had been slow-walking the release of those documents until 2020 (2/4).
jwatch.us/GGhcSZ
The production of documents in this case is now concluded with the FBI being only able to recover or find approximately 5,000 of the 33,000 government emails Hillary Clinton took and tried to destroy (3/4).

BREAKING: JW today announced it filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DOJ for records about the agency’s involvement in persuading President Trump to defer his September 2018 decision to declassify DOJ documents related to the Russia investigation (1/5).

jwatch.us/zJWH2D
JW’s lawsuit is also seeking DOJ official Bruce Ohr’s records of communications around the time of Trump’s declassification announcement. Ohr was a key conduit between anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and the FBI (2/5).

jwatch.us/zJWH2D
Judicial Watch President @TomFitton : We have little doubt the Deep State DOJ is improperly trying to cover-up FISA abuse and other Russia hoax documents that President Trump initially ordered declassified. Trump should declassify the documents (3/5).

Not sure if anyone is aware, but for more than two years, I//@BuzzFeedNews /@_rshapiro have had a #FOIA lawsuit against multiple intel agencies for documents on their assertions that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential campaign/collusion. 1/
The agencies identified thousands of pages of documents and withheld the vast majority on national security grounds. Still, some were released and we are the only ones who have been successful in prying loose some of these records via #FOIA. 2/
So in light on the 4-page Barr memo characterizing the Mueller report (which we still haven't seen) I am reupping some of the stories I wrote from the cache of #FOIA docs on Russia interference in the 2016 campaign. These documents are from DHS, CIA, FBI, ODNI and State Dept. 3/

1/ FISA what is the tale of this hidden black ops bastardization of the 4th Amendment.

Let us reach behind the curtain and tell this tale the way it should be told but never will be.
2/ The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 with amendments is a post-Watergate era reform which was intended to prescribe procedures for granting quasi-judicial authorization for electronic surveillance of persons engaged in espionage, terrorism, weapons or narcotics…
3/ …trafficking.

That's what they like to believe anyway, its original purpose, a tool to fight our enemies. to stop those that want to bring harm to our country, to keep us safe. But that's where it ended...

Been a pretty shitty year for #FOIA. Govt agencies continue to thwart the release of records. But I was still able to pry loose a few gems.

Here's a thread to highlight all of the news stories I published at @BuzzFeedNews in 2018 based on docs I obtained via #FOIA ICYMI 1/

Over the past couple of days, journalists have been reminded of steps we need to take to safeguard our comms and protect our sources while working on news reports

It's also impt to note what happens after news stories are published that are based on nonpublic/classified info 1/
Every government agency on a near daily basis scrutinizes news stories for classified, secret or non public information. 2/
Personnel at the government agency fills out a media leaks questionnaire and identifies the nonpublic/classified info contained in the news report.

(I obtained a copy of one such questionnaire and example of some media leaks via FOIA: documentcloud.org/documents/3859…) 3/
