In another legal victory for Judicial Watch, a federal court has ordered the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to furnish all available files they have on any communications between now-former Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis pertaining to the prosecution of President Donald Trump.
The court order comes after the DOJ still objected to handing over information even after the Trump prosecutions were shut down.
Judge Dabney L. Friedrich ruled on January 28 that because the two federal cases against Trump were closed, the DOJ's non-disclosure arguments are no longer applicable:
Since [the] DOJ filed its motion for summary judgment and supporting Declaration in March 2024, the Special Counsel's criminal enforcement actions have been terminated [...] The cases are 'closed—not pending or contemplated—and therefore are not proceedings with which disclosure may interfere' [...] Thus, the agency’s sole justification for invoking the Glomar doctrine under Exemption 7(A) is no longer applicable.
Accordingly, the Court will deny DOJ’s motion for summary judgment and grant the plaintiff's cross motion. DOJ is directed to process the plaintiff's FOIA request and either 'disclose any [responsive] records or establish both that their contents are exempt from disclosure and that such exemption has not also been waived.'

I guess her repeated phone calls (I'm assuming here) to Joe Biden's WH didn't result in a pardon.
She was at least going for the big bucks.
Hopefully the release of this information will form the basis of a successful prosecution of Fanny. She had better get used to wearing an orange jumpsuit.
That should humble Fatty Fanny.
She’ll wear her jumpsuit backwards
I’m confused. Who in the DOJ is fighting this? I thought Trump had his people running DOJ now? It was Merrick Garland’s DOJ fighting this as I understand it.
As Vince Lombardi said....What the hell’s going on out there?
Not the DOJ. Judges.
It was the prior DOJ that was fighting the release of these files, not the current one.
I assume the DOJ is not fighting against the release anymore. The article doesn’t say, but they may have agreed to a Consent Order for the documents to be released.
Also from the article:
“Now, the DOJ must meet with Judicial Watch on or before February 21, 2025, as well as report the status of their discussion to the court.”
That meeting may be for settlement discussions given the change in DOJ leadership. I doubt the DOJ will continue to fight the case. Willis may very well be left twisting in the wind all on her own. As we say in the south, she hitched her horse to the wrong wagon.
I guess we will hear more after the 21st.
Fani is a train. She said so.
YESSS! I’ve been waiting for this shoe to drop.
New head, new day
Yep. Pam Bondi will deliver the files personally. And with a smile.
Maybe Fani can get a job with FEMA...she would blend in with the other porkynauts.
Now we get to see how involved the Biden Administration was in going after Trump.
an Orange parachute will need to be used.
How will Short Fat Fanny look in orange?
It’s about time! Now go after the REST of the dug-in dirty ticks in Fulton County- Dickens, Warnock, Assoff, Labatt...
And when you are done there- go get the slimy Gwinnett cast-offs.
And Maricopa thought IT took the prize....
“Pam Bondi will deliver the files personally. And with a smile.”
***********
And soon to be followed by her delivering the Epstein files we hope.
It’s good to see that law enforcement is still hot on the trail of Big Fani. She was out of her league to begin with. She should have been working as a waitress or cook at a Chicken Waffle Warehouse.
