Federal Judge Completely Rejects DOJ Argument – Orders ‘Archey Declarations’ (Descriptions of Comey
CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 8/12/2019 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 08/12/2019 8:26:27 PM PDT by bitt

A U.S. District Judge has rejected the DOJ and FBI motion to block the release of the Archey Declarations (descriptions of Comey memos). [Background Here]

In a strongly worded ruling (full pdf below) released moments ago, Federal Judge James Boasberg blasted the DOJ and FBI for attempting to change their filings, claim national security “sources and methods”, and block his prior court ruling – which instructed the DOJ to release the “Archey Declarations”. The judge is obviously angry:

It must strike readers as erroneous “with the force of a five-week-old, unrefrigerated dead fish.”…

[Backstory for those unfamilar] In the background of what was The Mueller Investigation, there was a FOIA case where the FBI was fighting to stop the release of the Comey memos. Within that courtroom fight Mueller’s lead FBI agent David Archey wrote a series of declarations to the court describing the content of the memos and arguing why they should be kept classified.

The FOIA fight shifted; and the plaintiff, CNN, argued for public release of the content of the FBI agent’s descriptions, now known as the “Archey Declarations”.

After a lengthy back-and-forth legal contest, on June 7th Judge James E Boasberg agreed to allow the FBI to keep the Comey memo content hidden, but instructed the DOJ/FBI to release the content of the Archey Declarations. The DOJ is [was] seeking to reverse that order...

...based on the court declarations by Mueller’s former lead FBI investigator David Archey, it sounds like there are many more memos than anyone currently understands; including memos about the investigation of candidate Trump, that were written during the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation 2016 and 2017, that describe investigative details, sources, operations and code-names of intelligence assets used in the investigation.

The Comey memos are not just about his contact with Donald Trump as a candidate, president-elect or president. The media keeps downplaying the memos as a few notes taken by the former FBI director, but all of the background information suggest assembled writing is something more akin to a personal diary.

My strongly researched suspicion is that James Comey kept detailed private notes of what was happening during the operation(s) against Donald Trump and his campaign team, both during the campaign and after the election when President Trump took office. Just take a look at how David Archey described the content and you can see those notes, now called memos, were in addition to FD 302 reports being filed by FBI officials.

Why James Comey would keep detailed notes beyond what was being officially recorded in the FBI 302 reports is likely a question to be answered within the pending inspector general report. There’s a lot of sketchy non-transparent stuff going on amid all of this….

This is what the DOJ and FBI are working to stop from being released to the public:

“NATIONAL SECURITY, SOURCES AND METHODS”

Like our enemies don’t know what we do and how we do it. The Clintons sold it out to the Chicoms 25 years ago.

IMO there are no sources or methods that aren’t already known. They just tried to hide it all by burying it in the FISA court and off the books in secret memos and private conversations and calling it ‘sources and methods’. It’s just an attempt to hide what is already in plain sight.

Corruption of the judiciary is where it’s at.

Corrupting the judiciary through Epstein’s compromise was the enabler.

John “it is a tax” Roberts... Please don’t tell.

Kavanaugh’s clean, that’s WHY the UNEXPECTED character assassination.

Throw off the wolves.

Ginsberg, Sotomayor, Stevens, Kagen?

What did they do to make them write the most illogical immoral unconstitutional arguments known to modern man?

Fk them!

Trump is the Chief Executive Officer of the DOJ and FBI.

He can declassify and publicly release any document he wants to.

Instead, for the last 31 months, Trump forces Conservatives to go to court for EVERYTHING they want to look at.

And, after months and even years of delay, when the Deep State finally releases something, it has been redacted to the point of being useless.

Totally sick.

If these Declarations expose who was involved as sources for false/faked/disinformation used by Steele etc as a basis for the FISA warrants, then all hell could break loose and Comey/Mueller/Steele, Ohrs, Weissmann, etc. could all be exposed as liars and coverup artists.

Hey gang, there’s an empty cell at the NY Metropolitan Corrections Center just waiting for these traitors. Comes with clean paper sheets too.

Translation. The FBI doesn’t want its coup attempt uncovered.

True... Still, one suspects events may have gone so perversely deep that even FR's jaded mind could be shocked (incarceration, even assassination of POTUS?) NEED TO KNOW

A puzzling mystery that has frustrated us all. We must trust that POTUS has a strategy. Your point was emphasized this week with the release of the Bruce Ohr 302s; it was a court order via FOIA in favor of Judicial Watch, NOT the POTUS Executive ORDER... and I suspect the redactions are intentional and obstructive to the truth.

Perhaps there is something so shocking behind all of this that the ground must first be well ploughed.

Go to love lawyers
Argue that Comey shouldn’t be punished cause memos weren’t classified at the same time they argue memos shouldn’t be public cause they are classified

True, very true.

The fib (er, FBI ) is hiding THEIR illegal contacts overseas to conceal THEIR illegal spying on Trump’s campaign by calling it “foreign surveillance “.
