BREAKING: JW asked a federal court to unseal depositions of #LoisLerner – former director of the ExemptOrganizationsUnit of the #IRS – and of her top aide #HollyPaz. Both played key roles targeting conservative groups leading up to the 2012 election. (1/5)
jwatch.us/3nGHJY
The depositions of #Lerner & #Paz were sealed by a judge after their lawyers claimed they received threats. JW argues the docs may shed light on govt misconduct and that the shielding of internal govt deliberations does not serve the public interest. (2/5)
jwatch.us/3nGHJY
JW revealed that both #Lerner & #Paz knew the #IRS was targeting “Tea Party” & other conservative orgs two years before disclosing it to Congress & the public. They also knew donor lists of tax-exempt orgs were being used to target them for audits. (3/5)
jwatch.us/3nGHJY
JW uncovered docs showing that #LoisLerner was actively involved in the lengthy cover-up of the improper #IRS activities, targeting, & abuses. JW also revealed that the IRS scandal included the involvement of the #Obama #DOJ and the #FBI as well. (4/5)
jwatch.us/3nGHJY
JW Prez @TomFitton: “In a republic, citizens have a right to know what its govt is up to, especially when officials abuse powers entrusted to them. The effort to seal #LoisLerner & #HollyPaz depositions for all time is an affront to the rule of law.” (5/5)

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)

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)

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)

There was no legitimate reason the allegations were not summarily evaluated and a Judiciary Committee vote taken this week. (2/9)

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)

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)
