The latest on our FOIA lawsuit against @USTreasury to unmask the secret landlords who've used shell companies to buy 3 million homes and more than 10 million apartments.

Treasury now admit to having 41,000 pages of relavent documents, but say they will give us ZERO.
We're already in court. Otherwise, I would say "we'll see you in court".

More about why we sued here: revealnews.org/article/unmask…
The latest denial comes despite a letter sent by
@RepJayapal to @stevenmnuchin1 Jan 23 demanding the info be made public:

"Hidden ownership of real estate has the potential to cause serious problems," she said.

ICIG rarely releases its investigation reports as the majority of them are classified. A few yrs ago, I filed a FOIA lawsuit against ODNI for ICIG reports.

Here's the last one I rec'd exactly 3 years ago this month. Probe into NSA employee's claims of whistleblower retaliation
If you're interested in reading other previously classified closed ICIG investigation reports, here are hundreds of pages I obtained via #FOIA lawsuit.

I wrote about it here.

And here's an ICIG report I obtained that concluded an ODNI employee violated Privacy Act 600 times. She used a classified computer system to illegally conduct 357 searches on Edward Snowden.

/1 Thread on #Natsec #Whistleblower victory

Incredibly pleased to report on significant development in one of our cases involving @AndrewBakaj which shows system CAN work even against @CIA. Congress should use this example to further strengthen system.

news.yahoo.com/rare-external-…
@AndrewBakaj @CIA /2 Bakaj, an attny, was former @DoD_IG & @CIA OIG. He wrote CIA's internal regs to implement PPD-19, which was 2012 presidential directive by @POTUS44 to protect #natsec #whistleblowers

va.gov/ABOUT_VA/docs/…
@AndrewBakaj @CIA @DoD_IG @POTUS44 /3 He properly participated in @ODNIgov OIG investigation, which was required by LAW, & #CIA OIG retaliated against him. Much of the battle arose from still ongoing tensions btwn who has higher authority: ODNI or CIA. NOTE: I say ODNI but that's another discussion.

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/
People Actually Complained That TV Networks Repeated Trump's "Shithole" Comment

After news networks quoted the president talking about "shithole countries," audience members complained to the FCC — and @BuzzFeedNews obtained their complaints. #FOIA 2/
