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/
jwatch.us/c1MwEy
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/
jwatch.us/c1MwEy
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/
jwatch.us/c1MwE
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/
jwatch.us/c1MwE
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/
jwatch.us/c1MwE
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/

BREAKING: Judicial Watch signed a settlement agreement with the State of California & the County of L.A. under which they’ll begin the process of removing from voter registration rolls up to 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid. (1/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
This Judicial Watch lawsuit confirmed that Los Angeles County has on its rolls 1.5 million or more potentially ineligible voters. This means over one in every five L.A. County registrations likely belongs to a voter who has moved or is deceased. (2/8)

This JW lawsuit related to the National Voter Registration Act also uncovered the stunning fact that neither the State of California nor Los Angeles County had been removing inactive voters from their voter registration rolls for the past 20 years. (3/8)

NEW: JW filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court in an effort to overturn a decision of the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that upheld Utah’s law engineered by GOP legislators to compel GOP members to change how they choose candidates. (1/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
Until 2014, GOP members elected delegates to represent them at the nominating convention, which selected candidates for the general election ballot. But the Utah legislature enacted SB 54, which effectively compels parties to hold primary elections. (2/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
JW President @TomFitton: Republican power-brokers in Utah hate party conventions which they can’t control, so they passed an unconstitutional law to control the party at the expense of grassroots activists. The Supreme Court shouldn’t let this stand. (3/3)

Now that we've finally seen the @Comey memos, its time to ask if the federal government was violating at least the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) AND getting backed up in its stonewalling *by a FISC Judge*

THREAD
Background: After @Comey was fired as @FBI Director, and he revealed the existence of his "memos", several news organisations immediately asked the FBI/DOJ for access to the Comey Memos via a FOIA request. These included @cnnbrk, @JudicialWatch, @USATODAY and @DailyCaller
The FBI/DOJ denied this, so the news organisations filed various lawsuits. Eventually these were consolidated into a single lawsuit, heard by D.C. Circuit and FISA court Judge, James E. Boasberg. He denied the request Feb 2 2018

Why would Trump pardon Libby now, in 2018?
Chemical weapons in #Syria or maybe bc of Valerie Plame's gofundme to buy Twitter? Time to do some digging! Flashback to 2003 and everyone debating whether Iraq had WMD or not... @tracybeans @The_War_Economy @BenSwann_ @almostjingo
2) First, a refresher on the famous spy: Valerie Plame

Of interesting note, see 2001 notes. Brewster Jennings was “outed” as a CIA cover in 2001. If Brewster Jennings was outed, then all agents who had used it as a cover were now blown.
3) In 2009, a Democratic candidate for Congress was sued by Republican Jean Schmidt of OH-2 district. He alleged she took bribe money from a Turkish lobby. Schmidt sued him. wvxu.org/post/wenstrup-…. Krikorian subpoenaed Sibel Edmonds to testify at the trial.
