Deep State DOJ Tells Court it is Unable to Give Judicial Watch Requested Fusion GPS Documents Due...

FULL TITLE: Deep State DOJ Tells Court it is Unable to Give Judicial Watch Requested Fusion GPS Documents Due to a “Glitch”

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch attended a hearing in federal court this week after the Justice Department failed to respond to a December 12, 2017, FOIA request seeking records on oppo research firm Fusion GPS.

The Justice Department argued that it is unable to produce the requested records due to “technical issues.”

Where else have we heard this before?

Judicial Watch is seeking the following from the DOJ:

All records of contact or communication, including but not limited to emails, text messages, and instant chats, between DOJ officials in the Attorney General’s Office and Fusion GPS employee or contractor Nellie Ohr. The time frame for the requested records is January 1, 2015, to the present.

On June 14, 2018, Judge Walton ordered the Justice Department, which had been resisting Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, to “immediately commence its search for responsive records and produce responsive records…”

Additionally, Judge Walton previously criticized the Justice Department, saying:

I think if it’s been almost, since December when the initial request was made more should have been done by now. And it seems to me if you have someone who’s going to come into office and they say they’re going to be a disrupter, that they should appreciate there’s going to be a lot of FOIA requests and therefore, should gear up to deal with those requests. So I’m not real sympathetic to the position that you have limited staff and therefore, you can’t comply with these requests. So I think you’re going to have to get some more people.

Just try telling the IRS you can't supply requested documents due to a "glitch" and see what happens.

The technical issue is that technically they just didn’t feel like it.

The best thing about the Trump presidency is that a growing number of Americans are becoming aware the Deep State is real!

A glitch?

Are they sure it wasn’t a hiccup or a gremlin?

Crooks.

So.... Print it out and hand it to them?

This isn’t rocket science

I wonder if the “glitch” is that a sledge hammer came in contact with the hard drives where these documents were stored.....

In all seriousness, if they can say that they can’t supply them because of a “glitch”, then they can say what that glitch is.

And that could be a very interesting revelation.

Are they not there? Are they encrypted and the encryption software is gone? Are they still on Hillary’s server? etc.

What is happening is that evidence for the real trials is not being prematurely disclosed.

We have become the USSR in terms of a uniparty system, government secrecy, and persecution/prosecution of political enemies.

No one outside of the Deep State would be able to get around with this nonsense. Honestly, unless bodies start piling up in the streets, it won’t stop.

Time for Trump to lead a search group of JAG officers backed up by a company of marines over to the DOJ.

Meanwhile, another group of composed of a small group of engineers and machine gunners can build a facility for the gunners to use on the recalcitrant. At this rate the engineers will need to bring in earth movers to move away the deep state debris from before the sand bags.

As a student of our first CW that fear increasingly grips me with every passing day.

This is exactly what President Trump was talking about, r Sessions.

@realDonaldTrump
“Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.” Jeff, this is GREAT, what everyone wants, so look into all of the corruption on the “other side” including deleted Emails, Comey lies & leaks, Mueller conflicts, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr......
....FISA abuse, Christopher Steele & his phony and corrupt Dossier, the Clinton Foundation, illegal surveillance of Trump Campaign, Russian collusion by Dems - and so much more. Open up the papers & documents without redaction? Come on Jeff, you can do it, the country is waiting!
