Sedition in the Obama Oval Office?
Barack Obama, Joe Biden and their top intelligence officers huddled in the Oval Office shortly before Donald Trump was inaugurated to discuss what they would do about this new President they despised. Now we aim to find out more about this conspiracy.
We just filed a FOIA suit against the Department of Justice, the FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for all records related to the January 5, 2017, meeting at the Obama Oval Office during which the Steele Dossier and the investigation of General Flynn were discussed ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice and ODNI (No. 1:20-cv-01947)).
The Oval Office meeting reportedly included President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and other Obama administration political and law enforcement officials.
At least two records describing the meeting – a January 20, 2017, memo Rice sent to herself and a set of notes taken by FBI counterespionage chief Peter Strzok – have been declassified and made public. Sally Yates also detailed the meeting to Robert Mueller’s investigation.
We sued after the DOJ, FBI, and ODNI failed to respond to identical May 20, 2020, FOIA requests for:
The meeting took place just two weeks prior to Trump’s inauguration. Last week we released mails between Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page that included a frantic exchange between top bureau officials in the days prior to and following Trump’s inauguration discussing a White House counterintelligence briefing that could “play into” the FBI’s “investigative strategy.”
Obama’s infamous January 5, 2017, Oval Office meeting is a key moment in the corrupt effort to smear and spy on President Trump and target General Flynn with a malicious prosecution. Rather than delay and stonewall, it is urgent the FBI, DOJ, ODNI release all records about this malicious, seditious conspiracy.
Judicial Watch Sues On Illicit Foreign Funding of Our Colleges and Universities
We have steadily revealed China’s connections to our universities and other institutions. Just last month we reported that the National Institutes of Health booted 54 scientists for their financial ties to China.
We want to know more, and so we havefiled a FOIA suit against the U.S. Department of Education for all records related to its investigations of colleges and universities accepting foreign gifts and contracts ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Education (No. 1:20-cv-02010)).
We sued after the department failed to respond to our May 4, 2020 FOIA request for:
All information, documents, and communication(s) between the Department and all schools currently under a Section 117 investigation regarding acceptance or reporting of foreign gifts including, but not limited to, gifts to affiliated foundations, all ancillary or foreign campuses, and individual departments or professors between January 1, 2018 and present; and
Any preliminary findings or reports that cover all open and closed investigations of the Department regarding false or misleading reporting of foreign gifts, including all source documents and information relied upon to determine findings or other report content.
According to our suit, Section 117 of the Higher Education Act , 20 U.S.C. § 1011f, “requires U.S. institutions of higher education receiving federal funding to report any gifts from, or contracts with, foreign sources with a value of $250,000 or more in a twelve-month period. Section 117 also authorizes the Department of Education to open an administrative investigation, and, if necessary, ask the Attorney General to initiate a civil action to enforce the law.”
On May 4, 2020, the ranking members of seven committees, including Rep. Jim Jordan of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, Rep. Virginia Foxx of the Committee on Education and Labor, Rep. Michael Rogers of the Committee on Homeland Security, Rep. Frank Lucas of the Committee on Science, Space and Technology, Rep. Devin Nunes of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Mac Thornberry of the Armed Services Committee, and Rep. Michael McCaul of the Foreign Affairs committee, wrote to Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos outlining their concerns about foreign influence in American institutes of higher education. In the letter, they specifically highlight the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts to silence academic research into the origins of COVID-19. It is not publicly known if they have received these records or the briefing.
It was reported on June 15, 2020, that “More than 70 U.S. universities that received funding from the Chinese government did not disclose those donations to the Department of Education, prompting concerns from lawmakers and watchdogs about Beijing and the Communist Party’s growing influence on American college campuses.”
On June 9, 2020, Dr. Charles Lieber , former chair of Harvard’s department of chemistry and chemical biology, “was indicted by a federal grand jury … on charges that he lied to U.S. officials about his ties to a Chinese-run program aimed at furthering the communist superpower’s scientific and technological development.”
Since May 2019, we have represented theZachor Legal Institute in a Texas Public Information Act lawsuit, seeking information about potential influence by the Qatar government’s funding of certain Texas A&M University programs and a Texas A&M campus in Education City, Al Rayyan, Qatar ( Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development v. Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General (No. D-1-GN-18-006240)).
China is a clear and present danger to the United States, and this lawsuit aims to expose secret Chinese and other nefarious foreign funding of America’s colleges and universities.

Judicial Watch, doing the job the DOJ won’t do.
Off the Wall Ping!
Contact to he added.

If he exposes the truth about them--and he will if he is re-elected--they'll wind up in jail.
That's what has them terrified--and their terror fuels their hatred and their fanatical determination to destroy him and the threat of exposure of the truth.
What job is that?
I agree, and that’s the reason their half truths and outright lies haven’t stopped since before he won the election.
I think at one time we thought if we were kind to China they would find Democracy.
WRONG. China has always believed they are superior to the rest of the world.
They have used our help, their ability to sell cheap products here and our our inability to see them as a threat to steal much of our technology to become a major threat.
Have we funded the enemy in the next World War?
Exposing the corruption.

Thank God for JW.
Exactly. They don’t just dislike his personality as some like to say, they are scared to death that he will expose their many crimes, therefore, the irrational hate.
“Judicial Watch, doing the job the DOJ won’t do”.
Nor the worthless Deep State tool Christopher Wray. Or, Little Linda Grahemnesty whose been Virtue Signalling to Conservatives for two years without anything of actual substance as a result.
Flimsey Grahamnesty does not want his own complicity exposed.
The coup that is happening during President Trump’s term is MUCH worse than anything Team Kenya did while Obama was in the White HUt.
Most of what has been happening to President Trump was set in motion during the usurpation.

Yep. And you were one of the first to identify the bipartisan nature of the ongoing coup. We must never forgive and never forget that fact.
