Full Title: Federal Court Orders DOJ to Begin Searching and Producing Fusion GPS Records in Response to Judicial Watch Lawsuit
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton instructed the Justice Department to immediately begin producing records about DOJ communications with Nellie Ohr, the wife of senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr. Nellie Ohr worked for Clinton campaign vendor Fusion GPS on the anti-Trump Dossier campaign document.
Judge Walton rejected a Justice Department request to begin producing documents six months from now and ordered the DOJ to begin producing documents immediately on a rolling basis over the next two months. Judge Walton also rejected DOJ’s efforts to restrict their search to only 2016.
Judge Walton repeatedly criticized the Justice Department during a June 14 hearing:
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.

BURN!!!!
It’s a good thing we have Judicial Watch and a few honest judges with the DOJ in the hands of the enemies of freedom.
Let the judge throw Rosenstein in the slammer for contempt of court for not producing records. That would be even better than action by Congress or firing him. There will be plenty of time to fire him after Mueller is shown the door.
If only—something should take the DOJ a notch down for the sake of the people.
This judge is not some spineless Uniparty committee in Congress. He’s annoyed. And he does have the power to toss people in jail for contempt.
Anyone want to bet the records have now vanished?
Na, that would never happen.
After watching that “smug mother f*cker in the hearing yesterday, I'm all in to see him arrested and jailed. Time for him to face “real justice!” Same for the obsequious pr*ck Wray. Why he was Trump's pick is a mystery to me.
chain of power needs to be redefined and yank out fbi cia fangs
Isn’t the NSA scrubbing all related to the Trump investigation as we type!
Nellie. Isn’t she the one who developed a sudden interest in HAM radio? Still wonder who she was communicating with that.
They’ll produce but 95% of the contents will be redacted for national security reasons...
Go Tom go!

A bulldog, just what we need.
