BREAKING: Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit against the FBI for records about the removal & reassignment of #PeterStrzok – a former official at the FBI – who was removed from Special Counsel’s #RobertMueller’s investigative team. (1/5) jwatch.us/rz9AiK
According to reports, #PeterStrzok was removed from the #Mueller team in August and reassigned to HR after it was discovered that he & FBI lawyer #LisaPage exchanged anti-Trump text messages during the Clinton investigation & campaign season. (2/5) jwatch.us/rz9AiK
Judicial Watch President @TomFitton: One can only conclude that the FBI, DOJ, & #Mueller wanted to hide how #PeterStrzok & #LisaPage’s political bias & misconduct compromised both the Clinton email investigation & the Russia collusion investigation. (5/5) jwatch.us/rz9AiK

BREAKING: JW filed a FOIA lawsuit with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives (ATF) – part of DOJ – for 1900 pages of docs about a proposed reclassification that would effectively ban certain types of AR-15 ammo as “armor-piercing.” (1/4) jwatch.us/3oRfBZ
JW filed the lawsuit after the ATF failed to respond to our May 2018 FOIA request for the 1900 docs on the Obama Admin’s AR-15 ammo ban efforts. The docs include ATF talking points about the “Armor Piercing Ammunition Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.” (2/4) jwatch.us/3oRfBZ
This new lawsuit is just the latest development in Judicial Watch’s more than three-year effort to obtain these types of documents from the ATF. Judicial Watch discovered this specific document cache in separate litigation on this ammo ban issue. (3/4) jwatch.us/3oRfBZ
BREAKING: Judicial Watch today released 49 pages of new documents obtained from the State Department about U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) taxpayer funding of George Soros’s left-wing nonprofit organizations in Albania. (1/9) jwatch.us/tdBgpy
The documents deal mainly with the activities of the top Soros operative in Albania – Andri Dobrushi – the director of Open Society Foundation-Albania who channeled funding to what Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban calls Soros’s “mercenary army.” (2/9) jwatch.us/tdBgpy
The documents show that U.S. grant money flowed through non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that professed to promote “civil society” – while in fact those NGOs attacked traditional & pro-American groups, governments, and policies. (3/9) jwatch.us/tdBgpy

NEW: Weekly Update: Leftists are trying to kick the Senate confirmation for a Supreme Court nominee down field & past the November elections - at any cost. While compelling emotionally, Ms. Ford has no witnesses and no facts to back up her story. (1/9) jwatch.us/7jd9x2
There was no legitimate reason the allegations were not summarily evaluated and a Judiciary Committee vote taken this week. (2/9) jwatch.us/7jd9x2
JW President @TomFitton attended yesterday’s Kavanaugh Senate hearing – which should never have taken place. It was intense, dramatic, emotional, & outrageous, but nothing changed. The allegations are not sufficient to derail Kavanaugh’s nomination. (3/9) jwatch.us/7jd9x2
Important: JW President @TomFitton released a statement responding to more efforts to delay Judge Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation: Americans should brook no further delay of a full Senate vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. (1/5) jwatch.us/o5CPoA
JW President @TomFitton: Let’s be clear: Leftists are trying to blow up the confirmation process w/ smears. There’s no legitimate reason that these last-minute allegations can’t be summarily evaluated & a Judiciary Committee vote be taken this week. (2/5) jwatch.us/o5CPoA
JW President @TomFitton: Leftist law breaking, rule breaking, violence, and disruption have already marred the public Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. So one can only imagine the disruptive show trial that Leftists plan with Kavanaugh’s accusers. (3/5) jwatch.us/o5CPoA
