Judicial Watch ^ | 9/25/14

Posted on 10/22/2014 5:21:53 PM PDT by Revel

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that on September 23, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that by October 22, the Department of Justice (DOJ) must submit a “Vaughn index” listing Fast and Furious materials Judicial Watch sought in its June 2012 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and subsequent September 2012 FOIA lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. Department of Justice (No. 1:12-cv-01510)). A Vaughn index must: (1) identify each document withheld; (2) state the statutory exemption claimed; and (3) explain how disclosure would damage the interests protected by the claimed exemption.

Today was the day. Anyone know what gives? I have not seen any news. Did Holder comply?

I had to shorten title or it would not post.

Given Holder’s penchant for ignoring the law and any rulings he doesn’t like, I’d guess, no.

They have till midnight EDT to file. It’s an online filing.

Last week the atty in a case I’ve worked with filed @11:59.25pm. Don’t know that I have the stomach to push the envelope that far, but DOJ would.

Whatever documents that finally are released will probably be so heavily redacted that they will be meaningless.

That article is not about the release of these records. Except for near the end there is a paragraph talking about the ruling for the DOJ to release the records by this date.

His top deputy resigned on 10/17 due to recent news about the weapons, so I believe he did:

That evidence appears to have been released by the city of Phoenix And then verified by congress. At least that is how I am reading it.

Might as well send 8 1/2” x 11” sheets of black paper.

Nope no news. We’ll see if Holder is going to be in contempt of court. Judicial Watch should clue us in tomorrow.

Contempt of court, contempt of Congress. What difference does it make? Hint: 0bammy, pardon.

“Whatever documents that finally are released will probably be so heavily redacted that they will be meaningless.”


Read the article again carefully — the DOJ is not supposed to release the documents themselves, they are supposed to release an index of all of the documents they have refused to release, including a separate reason why each document should not be released.

This has got to be terrifying to Holder’s minions. The index transforms an arguement about generalities into arguements about perhaps hundreds of individual documents and their specifics.

With the index, the Judge can read each document, read the DOJ reason why they don’t want to release it, and then either agree or release it himself; Judicial Watch can then release the index, the DOJ reasons why they think it should have not been released, and the document itself.

I suspect the DOJ and Holder will be metaphorically nailed to this index and cricified on it.

Yes. I read that the article was posted on Oct. 16. We're looking for something else.
