NEW/THREAD: A forthcoming analysis from @TRACReports says @BuzzFeedNews has filed more #FOIA lawsuits--58-- than any other media organization in the US during Trump's presidency.

Here's a look back at the secrets my colleagues & I pried loose in 2020

1/ buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
We started off 2020 publishing some of the most important and highly sought-after documents from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation: summaries of FBI interviews with key White House officials.

2/
In February 2020, @BuzzFeedNews secured more than 1K pages of emails from NOAA related to Trump’s "doctored" map of Hurricane Dorian — dubbed #SharpieGate — and the panic, outrage, and internal revolt it triggered among top officials at those agencies.

It was only 3 wks ago that I obtained the criminal referral from ODNI that was sent to DOJ & FBI alleging Trump committed crimes related to his call with Ukraine’s president, a conversation that sparked the historic impeachment proceedings against Trump
buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
Obtained via #FOIA
'the President of the United States is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election,' which 'includes, among other things, pressuring a foreign country to investigate one of the President's main domestic political rivals'

NEW/THREAD: I filed a #FOIA lawsuit against ODNI CIA & DOJ for the criminal referral sent to DOJ related to the intel community whistleblower disclosures on Trump & Ukraine, which led to impeachment

I just rec'd some previously unreleased docs to add to the historical record

1/
The first document is a formal referral letter dated Sept 4, 2019 the ICIG sent to Stacey Moy, the FBI's deputy director for counterintelligence about alleged crimes connected to Trump's call with Ukraine pres. This letter to Moy has not been previously mentioned

2/
The next letter is a copy of the document preservation hold letter sent to the WH counsel. This letter was referred but a copy of it has not been previously released. @mcculloughirvin told me this letter is a big deal & shows IG taking investigative actions against the WH

Just got docs in response to my #FOIA lawsuit against DOJ about Barr's intervention in the Stone case

This is a NO SURPRISE letter. It's what journalists send about what they intend to report. Posting this for the sanctimonious, shitty reporters who work at other media outlets
DOJ's Kerri Kupec keeping the WH updated about what she said in the record and on background about DOJ's intervention in the Stone case

For a second, I thought I wrote this article

No, I Am Not Getting Rid of My Thousands of CDs

Although it centers around classical music it certainly applies to my feelings about my own collection.
I mean I just can't part with it
