The Justice Dept notice to JW came almost immediately after the explosive District Court hearing for Paul Manafort in which Judge T.S. Ellis III demanded that the full Special Counsel memo be made available to the court within two weeks by May 18th. (2/5)

In a May 4th response to JW's FOIA lawsuit, DOJ said it is “processing the August 2nd memo to determine if it can release additional portions that have not already been filed publicly.” DOJ had previously refused to say any such “scope” docs exist. (3/5)

Judicial Watch President @TomFitton: “We are pleased, especially after Judge T.S. Ellis’s hearing, that our lawsuit is causing the Justice Department to rethink its cover-up of the ‘scope memo’ for Special Counsel Robert Mueller.” (4/5)

Judicial Watch President @TomFitton: “Judicial Watch has never seen this level of secrecy and cover-up surrounding the operation of a special or independent counsel.” (5/5)

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)

BREAKING: Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigns at Trump’s request.

It's happening, Trump is going to attempt to end the Mueller probe. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
wapo.st/2qyyRYL
Lindsey Graham in July 2017: "If Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay."

How long before 2018 Lindsey is appointed Attorney General?
Trump named Matthew Whitaker, Sessions' chief of staff, as acting AG. Whitaker is now set to oversee the Mueller's probe.

Whitaker, once wrote an opinion column before joining the DOJ titled "Mueller's investigation into Trump is going too far." nbcnews.com/politics/white…

BREAKING: Inside the beltway rumor: @TheJusticeDept Inspector General Horowitz was recommending to @jeffsessions & @POTUS @realDonaldTrump that Rod Rosenstein be fired over glaring conflicts of interest uncovered in IG Investigation RE: #MuellerProbe & #FISA/#FISC. RR resigned.
cont... Apparently the report in @nytimes about #Rosenstein wanting officials to wear a wire & record @potus @realDonaldTrump for a means to use #25thAmendment to remove #DJT WAS NOT a part of reason IG Horowitz recommended firing of RR. It was, however part of reason... cont...
@jeffsessions reached out to #SCOTUS members for guidance on his recusal and how or if it was possible to fire #Rosenstein without lifting that recusal. Legal gymnastics behind the scenes by #Sessions to find a way to take action against #RR happened BEFORE @nytimes article.

State of the #TrumpRussia investigation THREAD 1/8:

Despite President Trump's propaganda about #Mueller engaging in a 'Witch Hunt,' the facts betray a different narrative that is an existential threat to Trump's presidency.

h/t @Zac_Petkanas
Developments in #Mueller's probe have led to a panicked atmosphere among co-conspirators in the White House & their congressional allies.

There are 5 major reasons for this panic.

1) 23 indictments, 5 guilty pleas & 1 sentencing

2) Michael Cohen is close to flipping.

2/8
5 reasons for White House panic continued...

3) Paul Manafort is now in jail for witness tampering & could also flip.

4) Trump operatives Roger Stone & Michael Caputo had yet more undisclosed contacts with Russians.

1. Obama Admin Spied on Trump Campaign

"Code Name Crossfire Hurricane: The Secret Origins of the Trump Investigation" -- New York Times

A NY Times story today confirmed that Obama admin spied on Trump campaign affiliates in 2016.
2. "The F.B.I. obtained phone records and other documents using a secret type of subpoena. And at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos."

A "government informant" is an euphemism for a spy.
3. Previously we had been fed the lie that FBI opened an investigation into Trump campaign based on testimony from an Australian diplomat. But NY Times story opens with the stunning admission that FBI opened an investigation BEFORE meeting with the Australian diplomat.
