Judicial Watch announced today that it has received 47 pages of records from the Department of Justice, including email exchanges between fired FBI official Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page revealing that FBI officials used unsecure devices in discussing how the U.S. could improve the sharing of sensitive data with the European Union top executive governing commission.
The documents also reveal that high-ranking FBI officials were not properly read-in to top secret programs.
Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a January 2018 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed after the DOJ failed respond to a December 4, 2017 FOIA request.
In a January 28, 2016, email to Page, Strzok apparently mocks people with developmental disabilities when he complains to Page about the inefficient mail handling system: "Cool - I have three pieces of mail for 7th floor - what's the easiest way to get them into the system there rather than waiting on Melwood mail system?".
The FBI employs and has even given awards to people placed by Melwood.
"Here we see the top echelon of U.S. cyber security and law enforcement officials looking like Keystone Cops," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
"And the emails show Strzok's extreme lack of professional behavior in his FBI communications. Judicial Watch is frustrated by the FBI's slow roll of documents at a rate that will not see all releasable Page-Strzok documents provided until 2020.".
