Government transparency activist group Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of the Treasury (DOT) seeking records related to the investigation of retired United States Army Lieutenant General Michel Flynn’s communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Breitbart News spoke exclusively to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, who said, “We’ve been looking into this story for months now and the only crimes connected to this Russian scandal we’ve been able to find so far are the illegal leaks of information and the violations of privacy by the Obama gang.”
Judicial Watch filed a FOIA on January 25, 2017 and only filed the lawsuit after the agencies failed to respond.

The suit claims that “Defendants are violating FOIA by failing to search for and produce all records responsive to Plaintiff’s requests or demonstrate that the requested records are lawfully exempt from production.”

What bothers me most about this is that - to my knowledge - NO ONE in positions of authority at the CIA or FBI has publicly expressed outrage over the leaks or promised to do anything about it.
The institutions of DC are as lost as many USAians. Compromised; coverted; politized; lawlessized.
Something told me to watch “Fox and Friends” this morning.
I clicked on the TV JUST BEFORE Judge Napolitano launched into one of his customarily brilliant commentaries on the current Democrat created Russian NON-SCANDAL that has BACKFIRED on them into the burgeoning WIRETAPPING SCANDAL that should — if Congress does it’s job (FOR A CHANGE) — put obozo and/or his mendacious minions in the slammer! This is EXPLOSIVE STUFF and puts the lie to the FAKE NEWS the left and media (but I repeat myself!) on PMSNBC, NBC, CNN, etc. have been dispensing!
Slide out to 28:07 for the 9 minute segment with His Honor!

They used to make more fun, on FR, of Larry Klayman than they did Orly Taiz, all the while setting on their own arse while they let an immigrant woman carry their water.
