Judge orders DOJ to publish info redacted as privileged from Mueller report
QuoteDistrict Judge Reggie Walton said the Trump administration had failed to justify certain redactions from the report on the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The specific redactions he took issue with cover the decisionmaking process within former special counsel Robert Mueller's team over whether to charge certain people with crimes during the probe.
"Based on the Court’s review of the unredacted version of the Mueller Report, the Court concludes that the Department has failed to satisfy its burden to demonstrate that the withheld material is protected by the deliberative process privilege," Walton, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, wrote in his 40-page opinion.
The decision comes as a result of a pair of lawsuits under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) brought by a journalist with BuzzFeed News and the Electronic Privacy Information Center that sought to have the full, unredacted report released to the public.
Walton on Wednesday ruled that the DOJ could continue to withhold material it had redacted under FOIA exemptions allowing agencies to conceal information that would compromise law enforcement investigations or compromise the privacy of witnesses.
Matt Topic, who was lead attorney for plaintiffs, told The Hill: "After a very thorough review, the Court found that the Justice Department violated federal law with regard to a number of the redactions to the Mueller Report. We look forward to the release of this additional information by November 2."
A spokeswoman for the DOJ did not immediately respond when asked for comment.
In March, Walton ordered the DOJ to give him access to an unredacted copy of the report so that he could review their withholdings. He excoriated the department and Attorney General William Barr at the time for misrepresenting the report's conclusions before it was actually released.
"The inconsistencies between Attorney General Barr’s statements, made at a time when the public did not have access to the redacted version of the Mueller Report to assess the veracity of his statements, and portions of the redacted version of the Mueller Report that conflict with those statements cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary," Walton wrote in March.
"These circumstances generally, and Attorney General Barr’s lack of candor specifically, call into question Attorney General Barr’s credibility" and the DOJ's arguments in the FOIA lawsuit, the judge added.

Had 4 Trumpy friends on Facebook comment how they couldn’t wait for the South Park Coronavirus special episode today. I know Matt and Trey are libertarians, but this should be fun to see if they’re still both siding.
too bad for them it's tomorrow!
And also, the south park guys have not been very kind to trump in previous seasons lol. Not sure why they'd start now

You may be able to use an HDMI to put its display on the TV, but it doesn't have the "console" functionality of the Switch.
You actually cannot get HDMI out of a Switch Lite - it doesn't have the hardware onboard.
So the Lite is a fully functional switch software-wise, but it has only a subset of physical functionality (some games expect removable joy-cons for example)

and to be clear: I have no problem with it taking time to redact information. It just strikes me as suspicious to determine that last minute because Cameron (the AG) himself said they could release them today. From my understanding, no one picked that date for him. He’s one of the few people who would know the amount of information that needs to be redacted. The fact that he’s abruptly changing course and needs an additional week is reads to me like him stalling.

Update: cops get another week to hide the truth from the public
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A judge has agreed to Attorney General Daniel Cameron's request for a delay in releasing the grand jury recordings in the controversial Breonna Taylor decision, initially due by noon Wednesday.
Cameron asked for a one-week extension in a motion filed Tuesday, saying the delay was necessary to protect witnesses' personal information. The high-profile case has prompted threats against some officials and officers.
Judge Ann Bailey Smith instead gave his office a new deadline of noon Friday to submit the grand jury recordings.
Stew Mathews, who is representing former Detective Brett Hankison, confirmed the new deadline to The Courier Journal.
Cameron spokeswoman Elizabeth Kuhn also confirmed the judge's decision in an email that stated the judge had ruled on the motion and "granted an extension ... to give us proper time to redact specific personal information of witnesses."
Cameron's office has said the delay is necessary to protect the interest of witnesses, "in particular private citizens named in the recordings." His office wants to "redact personal identifiers of any named person, and to redact both names and personal identifiers of any private citizen."

@Message Board User protecting the DT safe space from any unpleasant mention of white supremacy is certainly unexpected.
It's a salient current event that the sitting president has overtly allied himself with white supremacist groups - groups that HIS OWN FBI DIRECTOR argues are the greatest domestic terrorist threat.
Can't wait to see the white washing of
white supremacist"lone wolf" violence going forward. -

He should have said when they destroyed his character in The Last Jedi.
The sequel trilogy is worse than just ruining characters - they had no fucking idea where the story was going until it was on screen. The Last Skywalker was being re-written while shooting for fucks sake

No, I'm just curious why neither you nor the mods don't think it's newsworthy or a notable current event that a sitting US president requested a violent white supremacist group to "stand by" when asked if he condemned white supremacy as a concept or not.
Which was of course, followed up by a request for his supporters to "watch" polling places.
Seems pretty fucking newsworthy to me.

Interesting decision by the mods in DT to whitewash away mention of the sitting president of the United States of America refusing to condemn white supremacists when asked directly.
Seems extremely relevant to ongoing current events, civil unrest, and bloodshed.

Quick, change the subject from the president supporting white supremacists and asking them to "stand by"!
