BREAKING: JW announced today it filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DOJ for communications between two of the pivotal players in the Deep State, anti-Trump collusion – former FBI official Peter Strzok and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr (1/3).

jwatch.us/WuggjN
JW is challenging the DOJ’s claim that there are no records of communications between Strzok & Ohr in light of the preeminent role both individuals played in the Deep State effort to undermine the Trump campaign and administration (2/3).

jwatch.us/WuggjN
.@TomFitton: “It’s doubtful that Ohr’s meetings w/Strzok over a matter of national importance happened without a scrap of communication. It’s time the DOJ began acting in good faith, stop the game-playing, abide by the law & produce the documents” (3/3).

BREAKING: JW announced today it received 33 pages of records from the DOJ showing that former senior DOJ Bruce Ohr in his Jan. 2018 preparation to testify to the Senate & House intel committees wrote to a lawyer about “possible ethics concerns” (1/3).

Bruce Ohr forwarded the email to his wife Nellie Ohr, who had been hired by Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign-Democratic National Committee vendor who compiled the anti-Trump Dossier (2/3).
jwatch.us/YNwkVc
@TomFitton said, “Ohr was the conflicted center of the Clinton-DNC effort to launder fraudulent Russia material into the DOJ and FBI. These documents show that Bruce Ohr was aware enough to look for advice – or look for cover – on ethics issue” (3/3).

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/

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/

RELEASE: FBI just sent me ~29,000 pages from their file on President Reagan and his time as an FBI informant – and lots more muckrock.com/foi/united-sta… #FOIA
For comparison, this is over 10x more than what the FBI posted to their website.

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/
