NEW: In a big court win for JW & @DailyCaller News Foundation, U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg ruled the FBI must turn over former FBI Director Comey’s memos allegedly detailing convos he had with President Trump (which Comey leaked to the press). 1/

The court order tells the government to turn over the Comey memos for review by January 18th, 2018. It’s important to note that, in doing so, the court rejected arguments made by the Sessions DOJ to dismiss the lawsuits seeking the Comey information. 2/

Remember: Comey said that “I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter… because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a Special Counsel.” The NYT published a memo story May 16th & Mueller was appointed May 17th. 3/

JW argued that, since former FBI Director James Comey testified about actions that he says he took while FBI Director, the court should compare the info contained within the memos with the written & oral congressional testimony of James Comey. 4/

JW Prez @TomFitton: In seeking to review the docs, the court shows it doesn’t trust FBI or DOJ representations about the infamous Comey memos, which were written & leaked for pernicious purposes to target a sitting president w/ a criminal investigation. 5/

JW Prez @TomFitton: We hope now that Americans are closer to knowing the facts about the Comey memos. It’s high time they begin to see the light of day. And so we’re glad the court followed up on our specific suggestion that it review the docs directly. 6/
