So, for those of us who care about and are eagerly awaiting disclosure of the information on the Seth Rich laptops, dvd, tape drive, and the metadata, here is the state of happenings:
-FBI failed to comply with Judge's ORDER to propose a timeline for disclosure.
-Huddleston proposed that the majority of FOIA'ble ifnormation be published not less than 120 days out from the November 2024 election.
And as concerns other areas of disclosure related to this matter:
-Huddleston is asking for disclosure of any and all records/reports concerning Crowdstrike, Seth Rich, the DNC, WikiLeaks, emails, data transfers, Michael Sussmann, etc...
-Huddleston is also asking the judge to decide whether the FBI should be compelled to search is digital evidence files, Lynk messages, Teleporter records, surveillance and geolocation data, missing forms, CIA and other agency records, CHS records, ALL reports re: DNC "hack", and adequacy of searches.
But, ya know

"The FBI intends to seek reconsideration and clarification of the November 28, 2023 Memorandum and Opinion"
The FBI want the judge to reconsider his determinations that:
-The "Work Laptop" is a FOIA'able agency record.
-requiring the FBI to prepare and provide Vaughn indexes or produce metadata
If the Court does not reconsider and/or reaffirms its order, then the FBI will argue that the Work Laptop is exempt from FOIA under Exemption 7(A) and that the CD containing images of the Personal Laptop is exempt under both 7(A) and 7(D).
7(A)= could reasonably be expected to interfere with law enforcement proceedings
7(D)= could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source
"the FBI proposes the Court enter a briefing schedule for the FBI’s anticipated motions. The FBI proposes to file its combined motion for reconsideration, or in the alternative, motion for summary judgment on or before February 8, 2024."
I should probably advise the reader that I do not agree with the common sentiment that Guo is a "Take Down The CCP!" good guy who is being wrongfully prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. Not at all.
After going over the filings in this case, another civil case involving Guo, and watching various clips of Guo and Yvette, it is my opinion and the opinion of a few other folks, that they are agents of the Chinese Ministry of State Security who successfully infiltrated MAGA.
They have now been caught by the SDNY in a multiple fraud schemes and I think MAGA would do well to disabuse themselves of the notion the Guo was ever earnestly trying to "Take Down The CCP!"
We went over the new charges this morning on my show, post a clip later, but I have a few minutes right now so might as well thread them out here.
The other thread is worth reading if you are not caught up on the charges against Menendez and others. Items such as cash and gold bars that were presented in the first indictment as payments from his contacts for work he did on behalf of Egypt WERE ALSO payments for the work he did on behalf of Qatar.
New filing by Trump's team in support of their motion for access to Smith's CIPA 4 Filings...
"Any classification of the CIPA § 4 motion papers arises from information that was originally classified pursuant to President Trump’s authority as Commander In Chief. This information was available to President Trump while he led this Nation. Under those circumstances, it is extraordinary, unprecedented, and improper for the Special Counsel’s Office to try to withhold such information from the defense as the Office seeks to use this prosecution to target the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election."
"...the volume of similarly sensitive classified discovery, and defense counsel’s track record of compliance in this case, there is no merit to the Office’s contention that President Trump’s cleared counsel should not be granted attorneys’- eyes-only access to the CIPA § 4 materials so that the Court has the benefit of adversarial proceedings while evaluating these complex issues."
