New batch of FOIAs have dropped thanks to @15poundstogo and @JudicialWatch

Full batch is here: drive.google.com/file/d/1xZ6D3P…
One document that immediately drew attention was this FBI 302.

Not because it is new, but because it has been RECLASSIFIED and redacted as of last Spring.
Here is the version that @jsolomonReports obtained and published on January 20th, 2021.

To reclassify a document is no simple matter.

One explanation for this reclassification that I have seen offered in a few places is that DOJ set Trump up by reclassifying it, knowing that he had a copy.

This is at least partially based on the timing of Trump's back and forth with NARA and DOJ over docs stored at MAL.
I get why pple would jump to that take, but I don't think it holds up.

Here is the timeline of the Trump-NARA-DOJ.

DOJ was already involved before this doc got reclassified.

Source: cnn.com/2022/08/09/pol…
And nowhere, that I have seen, has it been argued by DOJ or NARA that Trump had docs that were reclassified. I think they would have mentioned that in the court filings somewhere by now.
Besides, the President can and DID declassify this document. It was published.

So I do not think this would be the "Gotcha, Orange Man!" trick that a few folks seem to think it would be.
So then, why has this document been reclassified?

Clues and indicators as to why are on and in the document itself.
NSICG = National Security Information
Classification Guide

archive.org/stream/FBIClas…

REASON: 1.4 (C) = intelligence activities (including covert action), intelligence sources or methods, or cryptology

federalregister.gov/documents/2010…
The redactions are for these reasons:

b6 = privacy (names)
b7 = for law enforcement purposes

justice.gov/oip/page/file/…
So, knowing and understanding all of this, lets read the redacted and unredacted versions again.
The doc is referencing Steele and Burrows of Orbis meeting with FBI and apologizing for running to the media with the Dossier.

Steele and Burrows say they did so because they were "riding two horses," one was the FBI and one was their client.
That client, was Hillary Clinton and they chose her.

So, to RECLASSIFY this document, something MUST be going on with either Steele, Burrows, Orbis, HRC, the FBI agents at this meeting, or a combo thereof.

Trump v. Clinton et al.
(Civil RICO case)

The Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit AFFIRMS "the dismissal with prejudice of the claims against the other defendants, both sanctions orders, and the denials of the reconsideration and disqualification motions." Image
"These four consolidated appeals concern five separate orders. In 2022, between his terms of office, President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against dozens of defendants, alleging several claims, including two under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and three under Florida law."Image
"The district court dismissed the amended complaint with prejudice for failure to state a claim. On the defendants’ motions, the district court also entered sanctions against Trump and his attorneys, under Rule 11 and under its inherent authority."

Comey Case Dismissed!

In this video, I take you through Judge Currie's order dismissing the case of United States v. James Comey page by page.
An appeal of the order is a near certainty, but it’s not a given that the case can be refiled even though it was dismissed without prejudice.

We are well past the SOL and the invalid charging instrument did not preserve the option to refile under 18 USC 3288. Image
If any other prosecutor from EDVA would have signed the indictment, the case would not be dismissed even with Halligan’s appointment being invalidated.

But because Halligan was the ONLY prosecutor to sign it and her appointment is unlawful (according to the order), the case is dismissed.

🧵 In the "for your consideration" segment of my latest podcast, I present a theory on Comey's handwritten note.

I'm going to detail the basics of that theory in this thread.
I think Comey placed his handwritten notes in the safe in the "super secret SCIF at FBI HQ that no one knew about."

ROOM 9582

(so silly, but it makes for a great hook in the story).

Anyway, I think Comey placed it there because it was important. Image
I think it may document when Comey was FIRST told of the Clinton Plan Intelligence in detail and/or received and/or was told of the CIA Referral Memo. Image

United States v. Comey

Case is DISMISSED.

Halligan’s appointment as interim U.S Attorney is adjudged DEFECTIVE and all actions flowing from are set aside. Image
It’s as I described in my video from over the weekend. Not that I agree with it, but the threat that it would be dismissed in this way was real.

🧵United States v. Bolton

This case is going to go on for at least another year...

And there could be additional charges. Image
A Joint Status Report filed ahead of a Status Conference (held Friday) indicates that the bulk of discovery in this case will be classified.
That means CIPA (Classified Information Procedures Act) and counsel, plus others involved in the case, will need the appropriate clearances.

It's going to take some time. Months. Image

🧵United States v. Comey

Another filing from Halligan seeking to clarify the grand jury proceedings that have been the focus of scrutiny over recent days and really, since day one in this case—as the just-filed Transcript of Return of Grand Jury Indictment Proceedings shows. Image
For reference, here are the "no true bill" 3-count and the "true bill" 2-count indictments.

As you can see, Count Two and, uh, the other Count Two of the 3-count are IDENTICAL to Count One and Count Two of the 2-count.

Both were filed, as both were presented in open court. Image
Image
The notice accompanying the transcript says

"The official transcript of the September 25, 2025, proceedings before Magistrate Judge Vaala conclusively refutes [the] claim [that there was an issue with the grand jury voting process] and establishes that the grand jury voted on—and true-billed—the two-count indictment."Image
