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)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
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)

jwatch.us/EsgPrN
In a related Oct. 2017 lawsuit, DOJ refused to release Mueller’s budget, but later was forced to release details from the redacted Aug. 2nd memo where Deputy AG Rosenstein gave broad authority to Mueller – three months after Mueller’s appointment. (2/5)

Been a pretty shitty year for #FOIA. Govt agencies continue to thwart the release of records. But I was still able to pry loose a few gems.

Here's a thread to highlight all of the news stories I published at @BuzzFeedNews in 2018 based on docs I obtained via #FOIA ICYMI 1/
People Actually Complained That TV Networks Repeated Trump's "Shithole" Comment

After news networks quoted the president talking about "shithole countries," audience members complained to the FCC — and @BuzzFeedNews obtained their complaints. #FOIA 2/

1) BREAKING :
President Obama authorized the Carter Page FISA
Here is how I conclude this. (Thanks Judicial watch)

Judaical watch. In a FIOA request discovered this
"The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court held no hearings on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
2) (FISA) spy warrant applications targeting Carter Page"
Judicial Watch Statements on Carter Page FISA
cnsnews.com/news/article/c…
3) Key to my annalists is simple. There are TWO ways to issue a FISA
( I was corrected earlier by someone "Page was called a Foreign asset")

This is KEY into knowing how the FISA was obtained with OUT hearings by the FISC court. Is simple . THE President ordered it directly

Pull up a chair.

I want to tell you a story about my three year #FOIA squabble with CIA.

1/
In early 2013, I filed a #FOIA request w/CIA for a list of inspector general investigations into waste, fraud, abuse, whistleblowing, crimes. It took 2 yrs for CIA to send me the list. Then I filed a separate request for the IG rpts on this list and then I sued CIA for it.

2/
One such CIA IG report on this list that caught my attention was titled:

"Alleged Employee Misconduct and the Illegal Killing of Animal on Federal Property"

I wanted this report and it is one of the dozens I sued over.

Over the past couple of days, journalists have been reminded of steps we need to take to safeguard our comms and protect our sources while working on news reports

It's also impt to note what happens after news stories are published that are based on nonpublic/classified info 1/
Every government agency on a near daily basis scrutinizes news stories for classified, secret or non public information. 2/
Personnel at the government agency fills out a media leaks questionnaire and identifies the nonpublic/classified info contained in the news report.

(I obtained a copy of one such questionnaire and example of some media leaks via FOIA: documentcloud.org/documents/3859…) 3/

The money was used "to fund left-wing political activities in Albania, including working with the country's Socialist government to push for highly controversial judicial 'reform,'" said Judicial Watch in a statement.
