NEW: DOJ just turned over to @BuzzFeedNews and I and CNN nearly 300 pages of the supplemental material attached to the FBI 302s from the Mueller probe. @a_cormier_ and I are going through the records now but here's a sample
NEW/DOCUMENTS: Sorry for the delay! Here's our story on these amazing emails and text messages sent and received by Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and more that were scooped up as part of Mueller's investigation buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
Roger Stone email to Steve Bannon August 28, 2016 just released
“Trump can still win — but time is running out. Early voting begins in six weeks. I do know how to win this but it ain’t pretty. buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
Here is an email from Jared Kushner to Manafort and Lewandowksi describing his meeting with Kissinger and the guidance Kissinger provided to the Trump campaign buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
Michael Flynn email to Steve Bannon December 19, 2015 about steps that need to be taken to defeat ISI, which included engagement with Russia
"Also, I met with President Putin last Thursday in Moscow. We actually sat at dinner together.” buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
This is an email a person from Cambridge Analytica sent Corey Lewandowksi about entering into a contract with the Trump campaign buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
Here's an email from Barbara Ledeen addressed to "Ms Herridge" about a big story: “material we have found on the deep and dark web regarding stories you have been pursuing.” buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
This is an email from Ivanka Trump to Trump 2016 campaign co chair Sam Clovis saying Don Jr can "also be helpful in terms of thinking about military advisors on the civilian side." buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
NOTE: It took DOJ three years to turn over these documents to us, even after we sued under #FOIA. Although they relate to activities that took place 5 years ago, I believe they are important historical records and newsworthy
Someone from Wikileaks reached out to Michael Flynn on behalf of Julian Assaange requesting an interview with Flynn's camp responded: "do we really want the General associated with this gentleman?"
DOJ is STILL withholding records from the Mueller probe citing ongoing law enforcement investigation as well as other #FOIA exemptions
Sebastian Gorka sent Corey Lewandowksi and the 2016 Trump campaign a national security memo: Russia and the US National Interest.
"Putin has turned Russia in a criminal enterprise that threatens stability in Europe and the Middle East."
George Papadopoulos emails to Corey Lewandowksi: Messages from Russia and Russian outreach
Someone forwarded an email to Michael Flynn a week before election day 2016 from a person who wrote that they had a declassified FBI document they wanted help with. "It apparently involved a contract to investigate the servers."
Flynn: "Get me a number."

Sunday is the 10th anniversary of the operation to kill OBL
Here's the inside story, based on incredible CIA docs I obtained via #FOIA, revealing the CIA's role in helping to produce the controversial movie about the operation, Zero Dark Thirty. vice.com/en/article/xw3…
The CIA's internal watchdog identified as a potential violation of federal criminal law the bribery of public officials and witnesses by the filmmakers who showered the CIA officers with gifts.
The CIA's internal watchdog documents I obtained said the agency's working relationship with the filmmakers began in 2010, a year before bin Laden was killed.
Classic US District Court Judge James Boasberg opening line in an opinion he just issued in my & @_rshapiro@PropOTP long running #FOIA case for the FBI's files on Trump predating his presidency
Partial win for us and partial win for the government. Good decision on b7e in our favor.
In some ways, Grenell’s emails are an extension of his Twitter persona and showcase his spats with reporters
He refers to @ZcohenCNN as a "drama queen," demands to speak to @JonathanLanday's editor regarding an accurate story he wrote that he said was "outrageously slanted" 2/
One email sent to Grenell shows an official in his office lamented their inability to “shape the narrative” in a @julianbarnes@adamgoldmanNYT@npfandos story about Grenell’s plans for ODNI, to which he responded, “Washington is highly toxic these days.”
"The FinCEN files have highlighted failings in the quality of information communicated through SARs, which often feature one-line explanations of suspicious activity."
"The FinCEN files highlighted multiple instances where banks and law enforcement failed to act quickly enough to prevent the proceeds of crime from entering the system."
