Thousands of government documents that should reveal the details of special counsel Robert Mueller’s contacts with the media – even though that may seem unusual since he’s running a secret investigation – now are scheduled to become public by early September.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan Thursday gave the government until Sept. 4 to provide thousand of documents that already have been identified under a Freedom of Information Act case.
Washington watchdog Larry Klayman of FreedomWatch sued to obtain access to Mueller’s communications with the media, and the hearing was to respond to his request for the documents.
The government had wanted to start producing a stack of responsive documents in July and then provide about 1,000 pages a month until the project was done, possibly long into 2019.
The government lawyers confirmed there are about 9,000 pages at issue.
And they pointed out the roadblock has been that the special counsel’s office has “to look at everything before it goes out the door.”

That’s going to be a lot of blacked out, redacted paper!
Assuming this is true, kudos to Judicial Watch.
Good work.

I hope Rhee and Weissmann are soiling themselves over this.
Feh. Any kid two years out of law school can figure out how to finagle a delay till after the election.
this could be interesting
Pathetic.
“This information could come out tomorrow. There is no reason to wait until September. In any event I interpret this as September 30th. So really this is just the usual Dem/Media complex October surprise that we are all long used to.”
From the article:
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan Thursday gave the government until Sept. 4 to provide thousand of documents that already have been identified under a Freedom of Information Act case.
he government lawyers confirmed there are about 9,000 pages at issue.
Over 9000 pages of illegal grand jury leaks and other leaks to the media have been ordered to be produced by September 4.
I hope Mueller fails to comply and is arrested.
Why so long? He’s been on the government payroll for over a year now. Nothing like dragging your feet because you don’t want to be uncovered as the shyster you are.
I have a feeling that in the end, Mueller will have totally destroyed not only his career, but those that have banded with him on this witch hunt.
It is going to get real interesting when the public finds out that Obama spied on Trump and that this Special Counsel investigation has been a “nothing burger” from the get-go.
Bump
1. Mueller will fail to comply
2. DOJ will back him up...no action taken as they give the middle finger to Judge Sullivan.
