FOIA

Mr. Hackett testified under oath that he had raised concerns about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s missing email.

Lawyers for Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) filed a motion Monday to dismiss federal charges of mis-using campaign funds, arguing that a newly-released Secret Service email suggests prosecutors were acting out of political motives.

Given the FBI’s repeated intransigence over the years in responding to our FOIA requests, I’m not of a mind to assume this story represents simply an innocent mistake.

Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Justice seeking draft copies of FBI charts containing information on potential “statutory violations” committed by Hillary Clinton

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs Kathleen Kavalec and former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, discussing the targeting of Donald Trump with Steele dossier material.

In 2017, the FBI uncovered 72,000 pages of documents Clinton attempted to delete or did not otherwise disclose. Until the court intervened, the State Department had been slow-walking the release of those documents at a rate that would have required that we and the American people wait until at least 2020 to see it all.

Mainstream media Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) quadrupled after President Donald Trump’s election, according to a report released Wednesday.

Washington, DC, issues millions of traffic and parking tickets each year and raised a third of a billion dollars in 2018.

As the slow-motion coup against President Trump takes place, let’s not forget that at its heart is the Deep State’s desire to protect Hillary Clinton from the consequences of her illicit behavior.

Nancy Pelosi’s plan to fly into a war zone to thank the troops, which President Trump put on hold, was déjà vu all over again. We’ve been watching her taxpayer-supported travel for years.

The Departments of State and Justice will not investigate themselves we now know, and of course we can’t expect any more efforts in the House of Representatives to get to the bottom of Hillary Clinton’s fraudulent behavior in high office.

In all the reporting that has been done regarding the Office of the Special Counsel, something notably missing is a full accounting of what the investigation is costing Americans, as well as any evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.

In delaying, blocking, and obfuscating attempts to get to the truth about Hillary Clinton’s email, the Justice and State Departments have been acting in bad faith.

A major scandal, largely uninvestigated, is the Obama Justice Department’s protection of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

As part of its deal with Amazon, which has based one of its new headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, the state will give Amazon two days notice of any Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests filed against it “to allow the Company to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.”

Judicial Watch was in federal court this week at a hearing regarding our request for testimony under oath from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Cheryl Mills, and several other State Department officials about Clinton email searches.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is threatening to sue the National Archives for not giving Democrats documents on Judge Brett Kavanaugh, despite the fact that Archivist David Ferriero — who denied the request — was appointed by Barack Obama.

The FBI has released 71 pages of information detailing the agency’s relationship with former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

The Justice Department Inspector General reportedly issued a criminal referral of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington, DC.

Hungarian-American George Soros became a billionaire from hedge funds he started, and also from short-selling pounds sterling during England’s currency crisis in 1992. That maneuver earned him $1 billion and the appellation, “The Man Who Broke the Bank of England.”

Trump has finally risen to the defense of his embattled EPA chief Scott Pruitt.

Quite right too, for Pruitt is by some margin the best Administrator the Environmental Protection Agency has had since it was founded by Richard Nixon in 1970.

“To me it is deeply disappointing that two FBI senior officials are engaging in this sort of discussion,” said Ron Hosko, former assistant director of the Criminal Investigative Division at FBI Headquarters, commenting on FBI officials discussing evasion of federal record-keeping requirements.

The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) is suing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to uncover documents related to the decision by Sally Yates, the Obama holdover who briefly served as Acting Attorney General, to ignore President Donald Trump’s first travel ban order.

A miracle! Judicial Watch files a federal lawsuit, and the Justice Department finds the “missing” text messages! Of course, as we said all along, they were never missing in the first place.

We are a year into the Trump administration, and we’re still trying to get a grip on why the agencies that report to him continue to slow-walk the release of information the public rightfully should have. The latest instance involves alleged Russian meddling in European elections, something we think the administration would want to be known.

Newly released presidential travel records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force and the Secret Service show that former President Barack Obama’s family vacations and campaign expenses cost taxpayers $114 million.

Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein sent several flattering emails to Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State

The New York Times tried to build a case in its reporting that the Trump EPA cares more about its political agenda than Americans’ health.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt—former Senator and Attorney General from Oklahoma—was investigated by a left-wing environmental group for his trips back to his home state, some of which included the spending of taxpayer dollars.

It was my privilege to testify on March 23, 2017, on behalf of Judicial Watch before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which was meeting to hear testimony on several bills that would improve government transparency. The complete hearing is available here.
