Grassley/Johnson and Jordan send letters

Today, Senators Grassley and Johnson continued their oversight role requesting, once again, transcripts created by the OIG during IG Horowitz’ investigation a number of years ago.

Congressman Jordan also made a Russiagate related request, though we are not as impressed with Jim Jordan’s tenure in Congress.

Several weeks ago I obtained a ton of new information on Russiagate, I’ve been working hard to develop that into stories. If it comes to fruition, they will be by far the most important stories we have ever been involved in, by a long shot. The old New York Times or Washington Post would beg for this kind of stuff. That process is ongoing and I cannot promise any of it will make it to publication.

Still, we’re going to try.

The reason I do this, and the reason I will never paywall documents is that I believe there’s a void in investigative journalism. People deserve to know what we have uncovered, and it causes me enormous anxiety to keep anything from you.

On the litigation front, I am still doing battle with the government in federal FOIA cases, including one where I think I actually have the better argument, which doesn’t happen often.

Nine months after winning in the Georgia Supreme Court we are still waiting to be remanded back to the trial court from the Appeals Court. In theory, we are probably getting close.

We hope these Congressional inquiries are the spark to a massive declassification and disclosure effort around Russiagate. If it doesn’t happen in the next week or two, it’s safe to assume this it will all be buried. It’s curious to see their efforts to push out documents around JFK and other subjects instead of the more recent scheme to frame the Russians and Trump.

There are still innocent men under federal indictment.
