🚨🚨🚨FOIA NEWS. The first installment consisting of a few hundred pages of the "Declassified Binder" of Crossfire Hurricane documents was released today. See below memo for background (particularly as to what Trump/Meadows intended be redacted or not). Kudos to .@JudicialWatch!! https://t.co/grzcZBPkxw

I foia'd this stuff in July of 2021, and fought administratively to get it expedited. It was expedited, but had .@JudicialWatch not sued on its own behalf, it would have dragged out a few more months at least. A lot of this batch looks like old stuff we've already seen ...

... with heavy redactions. But we have very talented sleuths in this Corner. Details to follow soon. 😎
@15poundstogo - FoiaFan🇮🇱
And here’s a link to the whole batch. There will be other batches that follow in a monthly basis. Thank you @walkafyre for posting it. The big story may be how shamelessly the Feds have redacted this stuff. But we have a new Congress now, don’t we?https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xZ6D3PBhnsOVWMGVVLSTvKEmQtPcLizP/view

And now it’s up on the FBI foia vault. Hopefully another batch with newer stuff will follow in about a month. And hopefully @Weaponization will get the whole binder without all these pathetic redactions. https://vault.fbi.gov/crossfire-hurricane-part-01/crossfire-hurricane-part-01/at_download/file

Woah! 🚨🚨🚨Ray Epps sentencing memorandum filed today. The Feds are treating the “conspiracy theories” against Epps as grounds for a reduced sentence. Hmmm. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.259850/gov.uscourts.dcd.259850.16.0.pdf

@julie_kelly2 directed my attention to the overuse of the term “agent”. They say Epps wasn’t an “agent”. They don’t say he wasn’t a CHS, though. Is that by design? They also quote his Congressional testimony (which are public), but not his FBI interviews (which are hidden). Hmm.

@julie_kelly2 Woah! 🚨🚨🚨 Ray Epps put in his own sentencing memo including these FBI materials. They initially didn’t want to prosecute him at all. 🤷🏻 h/t @walkafyre https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.259850/gov.uscourts.dcd.259850.18.1.pdf

BREAKING: If you’re really angry and maybe drunk or a bit stupid, and if some white guys with short hair and sunglasses and khaki pants suggest that you do something violent or illegal to protest the FBI raid on Trump. DON’T FALL FOR IT. https://t.co/XaTKBQKkHg
