DOJ wants to obstruct document production, federal judge says no
First, the story from JudicialWatch.com:
Federal Court Orders DOJ to Begin Searching and Producing Fusion GPS Records in Response to Judicial Watch Lawsuit
Court Criticizes DOJ’s FOIA Response
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton instructed the Justice Department to immediately begin producing records about DOJ communications with Nellie Ohr, the wife of senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr. Nellie Ohr worked for Clinton campaign vendor Fusion GPS on the anti-Trump Dossier campaign document.
The DOJ didn’t even want to begin a search for six months, following Judicial Watch winning a lawsuit which demanded records. DOJ historically has frittered time away, purposely, on the back end — now they wanted to fritter time away on the front end and then fritter time away on the back end.
Judge Walton rejected a Justice Department request to begin producing documents six months from now and ordered the DOJ to begin producing documents immediately on a rolling basis over the next two months. Judge Walton also rejected DOJ’s efforts to restrict their search to only 2016.
Judge Walton said this on the June 14th hearing. He wasn’t happy.
I think if it’s been almost, since December when the initial request was made more should have been done by now. And it seems to me if you have someone who’s going to come into office and they say they’re going to be a disrupter, that they should appreciate there’s going to be a lot of FOIA requests and therefore, should gear up to deal with those requests. So I’m not real sympathetic to the position that you have limited staff and therefore, you can’t comply with these requests. So I think you’re going to have to get some more people.
That’s called triage. That’s called prioritizing your workload.
The original issue was this:
In December 2017, Bruce Ohr was removed from his position as U.S. Associate Deputy Attorney General after it was revealed that he conducted undisclosed meetings with anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steel and Glenn Simpson, principal of Fusion GPS. A House Intelligence Committee memo released by Chairman Devin Nunes on February 2 noted that Ohr’s wife, Nellie, was “employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump” and that Bruce Ohr passed the results of that research, which was paid for by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign, to the FBI.
Let me conclude with this thought.
Can you tell me any other private agency or business that would be able to somehow get away with deferring immediate reaction or production of documents in terms of response to the loss of a lawsuit? Your business or agency would produce the documents or find yourselves in contempt of the issuing court and then subsequently invaded by law enforcement officers confiscating whatever was demanded by the court itself.
Telling some court that, nah, you know what? We’ll get on that in about half a year?
That just wouldn’t work in the real world.

Billionaire Leftist: we need a nuclear war to correct Trump
We’ve heard and seen the continuing advocacy by Leftists of confrontation, death threats and violence against the Trump administration and members of various staffs. We’ve heard Leftists advocate for rape, death, throat-slitting, plunging knives into sternums of ICE officers, placing Barron Trump into a cage with pedophiles, the DHS secretary stripped naked and whipped, pilloried in Lafayette Square naked and whipped by passersby, finding the children of Republican children and killing them — well, you get the picture.
Thought that was the ultimate in violent advocacy by the LDAMM? Think again:
Steyer: Maybe We Can Have a ‘Nuclear War’ to Provide a ‘Real Course Correction’ to Trump
by David Rutz
Left-wing billionaire Tom Steyer said perhaps there could be a “nuclear war” that would provide a “real course correction” to Donald Trump’s presidency during an interview published by Rolling Stone.
Steyer, who launched a national impeachment campaign against President Donald Trump last year, spoke with the liberal magazine about his efforts, which have been opposed by leading Democrats like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.).
A real nuclear war? A “nuclear war” of violence?
Interviewer Tim Dickinson pointed out Pelosi’s strategy of opposing impeachment of President George W. Bush, to take the issue off the table in 2006. Democrats took back both chambers of Congress in an electoral rout that year.
Then the “money shot” paragraph.
“I remember 2006,” Steyer said. “What happened is that George W. Bush, he put us in two disastrous wars and we were headed toward the biggest financial disaster since the Great Depression. So if the answer is that we need those three things to happen for a course correction, I’d prefer to move a little quicker. How about that? But I take your point. Maybe we can have, like, a nuclear war and then we get a real course correction.”
Yeah, I’d say a nuclear war would be something of a “course correction.”
This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg regarding Leftist violence.
More coming. Particularly this summer and fall.
