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.

So they filed them away with Humma’s laptop, Hilary’s Server and the DNC Server.

A Marine Detachment could probably sort through this ‘glitch’ in short order!

Just shows how the DOJ is an out of control agency accountable to no one.

Just like the CIA and FBI.

Damn, those glitches.

They always happen at the most inopportune times.

Never fear Sessions is making sure there is no political influence in the DOJ.

A person from Justice should be incarcerated for contempt of court, and remain so until the “glitch” is remedied.

It seems like an overly crazy idea at first, but this is a Boston Tea Party level situation. We have a corrupted unchecked bureaucracy. Blatant in their disregard of the people’s wishes. If no judicial action on these criminals does our society not have a constitutional duty to act?

Technical issues? Like maybe because they have all been deleted?

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

Do you think Inspector Qlouseu is on the case?

“The best thing.....” is a stretch as we have much we can be thankful we have this President for, but you are correct about the exposure of the “Deep State”.
