Deep State DOJ Tells Court it is Unable to Give Judicial Watch Requested Fusion GPS Documents Due to a "Glitch"

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch attended a hearing in federal court this week after the Justice Department failed to respond to a December 12, 2017, FOIA request seeking records on oppo research firm Fusion GPS. The Justice Department argued that it is unable to produce the requested records due to "Technical issues."

All records of contact or communication, including but not limited to emails, text messages, and instant chats, between DOJ officials in the Attorney General's Office and Fusion GPS employee or contractor Nellie Ohr.

The time frame for the requested records is January 1, 2015, to the present.

On June 14, 2018, Judge Walton ordered the Justice Department, which had been resisting Judicial Watch's FOIA request, to "Immediately commence its search for responsive records and produce responsive records".

On August 14, the DOJ wrote a letter to Judicial Watch claiming that searches were conducted up through December 2017, and no responsive records were located.

President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton said he's suspicious after the DOJ blamed a glitch.

Uh-oh! DOJ tells court it ran into "Glitch" searching for Fusion GPS records.
