Several of us have filed #FOIA lawsuits for documents from various federal agencies related to Trump's tweets and the Justice Department has told the court in response that Trump's tweets should not be taken seriously or literally and we should not be given documents.
But agency officials do respond behidn the scenes when Trump goes off on Twitter.

For example, here's then-NSA Director Mike Rogers instructing personnel not to get "sucked in" to Trump's tweetstorm.

"No tit for tat"

FBI Special Agent Michael Gaeta – Legal Attaché in Rome – Was Likely Stefan Halper’s Handler and the Now Infamous “Case Agent 1” It has been widely reported that the Obama administration had a spy by the name of Stefan Halper working inside the Trump campaign.
The question that is still unanswered is who at the FBI was Halper’s handler? As we first reported in May 2018, internet sleuths determined the name of the FBI spy inside the Trump campaign. (Note that some believe that Obama may have had more than one spy in the Trump campaign).
It was a lucrative business for Stefan Halper. Stefan Halper was paid $282,295 in September 2016 for “research and development in the social sciences and humanities.”

NEW: For 2 years, @BuzzFeedNews & I have been trying to pry loose via #FOIA lawsuits against multiple govt agencies docs related to the death of Mikhail Lesin, Putin's former media czar who authorities say died in his hotel room from drunken falls

It hasn't been going well

1/
These agencies maintain there was nothing suspicious about Lesin's death yet they have withheld in their entirety thousands of pages of documents generated in the days leading up to and immediately after his death.

2/
Lesin is one of the high profile figures we wrote about extensively @BuzzFeedNews and he is featured in @HeidilBlake's new book, From Russia With Blood.

Earlier this year, right after AG Barr released his memo characterizing Mueller's report, I started filing #FOIA requests for primary source documents that were used to draft the report as well as other underlying documents amassed by Mueller's probe

1/
buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
Then after Mueller's report was released, I filed dozens more #FOIA requests for additional documents. The footnotes in the report made clear that these primary source documents could further flesh out the narrative about 2016/obstruction.

2/
I also wanted to gain access to the documents that would shed light on how Mueller came to issue the unprecedented statement about the story @a_cormier_ and I published about Cohen being directed to lie to Congress by Trump. So I filed another #FOIA request.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
