In a FOIA case ruling Judge James Boasberg was deciding public release over two issues related to the memos of former FBI Director James Comey.
Backstory HERE and HERE. Judge Boasberg was deciding what could be publicly released, meaning current redactions removed, based on two connected events: The content of the Comey Memos; and the declarations of lead FBI agent for Robert Mueller's special counsel, David Archey, in describing those memos.
For those who may not be aware, there are so many memos when assembled they seem to make up an actual diary of moment-by-moment events, during the FBI investigation of Donald Trump, as documented by FBI Director James Comey.
In the issue of the redactions within the Comey Memos, the judge doesn't remove them.
The issues argued by the FBI lawyers to keep the Comey memos hidden surround sources and methods.
The judge generally agreed to the potential for compromise, but also outlined several sections of redactions within the Comey memos where that argument doesn't hold up.
FBI Agent Archey then goes on to explain what is inside the memos: It is in this section where we discover that Comey made notes of his meetings and conversations with investigators.
