On August 8th, The Daily Caller<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n Might it be that those are the documents the FBI hoped to find?<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n A watchdog is suing President Joe Biden\u2019s Justice Department (DOJ) for not releasing records related to the FBI\u2019s defunct probe into ties between Donald Trump\u2019s campaign and the Russian government \u2014 even though the former president declassified the records.<\/strong><\/p>\n Judicial Watch is suing<\/a> the DOJ to obtain the records, as well as communications between DOJ officials and government employees on the declassification of the records. The lawsuit, which was filed<\/a> on Aug. 1, comes after the conservative watchdog submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in February.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe Obama-Biden Administration and Deep State spying on Trump and his associates is the worst government corruption scandal in American history,\u201d Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said in a statement Monday. \u201cAnd to make matters worse, the Biden DOJ simply refuses to release smoking gun documents about this corruption that the American people have an absolute right to see!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Trump issued a memo<\/a> on Jan. 19, 2021 declassifying materials in a binder that the DOJ gave to the White House in December 2020 on the \u201cCrossfire Hurricane\u201d probe. However, the binder\u2019s materials never saw the light of day after the DOJ sought to issue redactions over privacy concerns, as detailed in a memo<\/a> on Jan. 21, 2021 authored by then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who told the DOJ he would return the records.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n \u201cWell, you know, the swamp is pretty deep,\u201d said<\/a> Meadows in a July interview on the records. \u201cBut when we look at this, this particular president was all about draining the swamp. When he was running, that was more of a campaign slogan. When he got there, he realized that not only was the swamp very deep, but they would fight back.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Judicial Watch is asking the DOJ to pay its attorneys\u2019 fees and other litigation records while also producing the records in relation to its FOIA request.<\/strong><\/p>\n The DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did the FBI. A spokesman for Trump did not immediately respond.<\/strong><\/p>\n The swamp is deep and wide, and there are still some real questions about who actually is a member of the swamp although pretending not to be.<\/p>\n This might be a red herring or it might explain a lot.
