FBI Director Goes To Court To Protect Document Which Was Previously Released In Redacted Form; Hmmm

She met with dossier author Christopher Steele in October of 2016, ten days before the FBI submitted their first application to the FISA Court for a warrant to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.

The group has filed a new FOIA request to obtain the documents in unredacted form and the FBI has gone to court to prevent that from happening.

Why is the FBI fighting so hard to prevent the release of these documents? The FBI maintains, as they always do, they are concerned that sources and methods will be revealed.

In court, this official argued that "The FBI can't afford to jeopardize the fragile relationships that exist between the United States and certain foreign governments." He also claimed that "FBI special agents have privacy interests from unnecessary, unofficial questioning as to the conduct of investigations and other FBI business."

FBI Director Christopher Wray has gone to great lengths to guard documents pertaining to their counter-intelligence investigation.

Eight days after Kavalec sent Laycock her annotated version of Steele's Alfa Bank research, the FBI submitted to the FISC an application that won the agency permission to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

The FBI has actually gone to court to fight this particular one.
