This is the latest JW FOIA lawsuit in an extensive investigation into the Clinton-funded, anti-Trump dossier and its use to obtain FISA warrants in order to spy on the Trump campaign (2/3).

jwatch.us/zkucJn
JW President @TomFitton said, “How & why did the FBI pay Christopher Steele, who was already being funded by the Clinton campaign & DNC through Fusion GPS? That we had to sue for this basic information shows the FBI may have something more to hide” (3/3).

BREAKING: SCOTUS overturned conviction of Robertson, a 78-year-old deceased vet jailed and fined for digging ditches on his property to protect his home from wildfires (1/3).
jwatch.us/2PvcVa
Robertson was not engaged in manufacturing or any industrial activity which would release chemicals or waste into the water, but under the Clean Water Act even turning the soil with a shovel can be considered releasing a ‘pollutant’ into water" (2/3).jwatch.us/2PvcVa
JW & AEF had asked SCOTUS to review the ruling by US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit that upheld Robertson’s conviction because that decision “affirmed illegal agency actions in prosecuting Joseph Robertson based on a misreading of federal law"(3/3).jwatch.us/2PvcVa

Sharyl Attkisson Interviews Carter Page - The Post & Email thepostemail.com/2019/03/31/sha…
In the 23-minute interview, Attkisson uncovered a fact perhaps not widely known: that in late September 2016, Page contacted Comey in response to a Yahoo! News article titled, “U.S. intel officials probe ties between Trump adviser and Kremlin”
The article, from September 23, 2016 and written by longtime NBC reporter Michael Isikoff, was much later revealed to have been the product of “circular reporting,” meaning that it was written as a result of information provided by a single source and not by independent research

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/

Key Democratic operatives and private investigators who tried to derail Donald Trump’s campaign have rebooted their operation since his election with a multimillion-dollar stealth campaign to persuade major media outlets and lawmakers that the president should be impeached.
The operation’s nerve center is a Wash DC nonprofit called The Democracy Integrity Project or TDIP. Among other activities, it pumps out daily “research” briefings to prominent Washington journalists as well as congressional staffers to keep the Russia “collusion” narrative alive

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/
