Judicial Watch Sues For FBI Docs on Comey Book Deal, Coordination on Comey Testimony before Senate Intelligence Committee
JudicialWatch, February 11, 2018:
(Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Justice Department for FBI records about former Director James Comey’s book, which he signed to write in August 2017 and is set for publication in April 2018 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice, (No. 1:18-cv-00220)). The suit also seeks records of communications between Comey and the FBI prior to and regarding Comey’s controversial June 2017 testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Judicial Watch filed suit on January 31 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the Justice Department failed to respond to an August 14, 2017 FOIA request for:
- All records of communications between the FBI and Comey prior to and regarding Comey’s testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on June 8, 2017.
- All records of communications between the FBI and Comey relating to an upcoming book to be authored by Comey and published.
- All records, including but not limited to forms completed by Comey, relating to the requirement for prepublication review by the FBI of any book to be authored by Comey with the intent to be published or otherwise publicly available.
Comey reportedly received an advance in excess of $2 million for his book, Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, reportedly set for publication on April 17th. Former FBI agents and officials intending to write books concerning their tenure are customarily required to submit the entire transcript for pre-publication review.
A month after President Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017, the former FBI director provided highly controversial testimony before the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about the circumstances that led to his dismissal, the ongoing investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s illicit email server. During that testimony, Comey admitted he leaked information about his conversations with President Donald Trump in order to get a special prosecutor appointed. In November, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit against the Justice Department for its records about Comey’s testimony (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-02316)).
“Mr. Comey seems to have protected status for any misconduct and we want to know if he had a special deal for his book from his friends in the FBI,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Deep State is in cover-up mode. The FBI, DOJ, and the Special Counsel are stonewalling our requests for Comey documents.”
Judicial Watch has several other lawsuits pending for Comey-related records:
- Two lawsuits (here and here) seek specifically the “Comey memos” ((Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice(No. 1:17-cv-01189)) and (Daily Caller News Foundation v. U.S. Department Justice (No. 1:17-cv-01830));
- One lawsuit seeks metadata of the “Comey memos” and related records-management information ((Judicial Watch, Inc., v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 17-cv-01520));
- One lawsuit seeks non-disclosure agreements pertaining to the handling, storage, protection, dissemination, and/or return of classified information signed by Comey ((Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-01624)).
On January 11, U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg ordered the FBI to turn over the “Comey memos” for in camera review by the court. In doing so, the court rejected arguments by the Sessions Justice Department to dismiss the lawsuits seeking the Comey information.
On February 2, Boasberg ruled that the “Comey memos” would not be made public. Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation are appealing the ruling.

Obama-Gate Negative Consequences Scoreboard
Obama-Gate summary: Obama, Hillary, the DOJ, the State Department, and the FBI broke the law by trying to prevent and then ovethrow the Trump presidency
Feb 11 2018 – numbers are approximate
Criminal convictions = 1
Indicted = 1
Named for indictments = 2
Firings & forced resignations = 12
Demotions = 4
Damaged reputations = 26
Total perps to date = 26
Agree. Hillary Left/Liberal media/Mafia runs fake investigation. Nobody is touching the mafia itself. And Hillary mafia killed another witness to email investigation http://tinyurl.com/y8p9cv5l
Nobody even investigates it bcoz Hillary gang is running FBI/DOJ/state dept/NSA.
Stop living in the past.
Updates:
– the CIA was also involved
– add John Kerry to the list of perps
Huge benefits too
– if we make sure this never happens again
– Patriot Act and other laws must be changed
– step 1: Make sure that all presidential candidates
– actually have a valid birth certificate
– so that Presidents are loyal to the USA
– Obama wasn’t
You’re a very foolish person.
All small fries. No big fish.
WM1:
True
– every time a post this, there are more
– it is true that many have been implicated
– and a lot of negative consequences have occurred
– growing every day
– [who would ever want to hire Lisa Page?]
– but we need to see more indictments!
Or would the name be Barry Sotero? What would his SS Number be?
His SS number? That would be the one issued in Kenya
You’re right. I don’t think he has one.
Will never happen. The nation is too far gone (many thanks to him) and is governed by legalized lawlessness (thanks to him and Hillary)…George Soros and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Quit it man. I am trying to keep myself from imagining that this end is possible, until it clearly becomes possible and tangible. This makes me visualize the JUST end of this whole sordid affair, and it seduces me to let go of my self control.
Plus, I like to visualize a hanging instead of a prison sentence….the remainder of his life behind bars with frequent sex just doesn’t seem like enough. But, I already have a harmonica chosen to send him as a welcome to your forever home present, just in case.
Stop talking about charges against the obimbo administration and start filing them. Get a prosecutor who is at the minimum a ravenous carnivore with desires to accomplish something for American justice.
I agree. Empty threats and saber rattling isn’t causing any of the criminals to shake in their boots. The problem as I see it at least, is two fold. First, the Deep State is so entrenched, any attempt to prosecute will never go anywhere, and two, the Republicans are supposed to be the opposition, but are in fact, cowards of the highest order. RINO’s are as much the enemy as the Democrats are.
Bob:
– it’s frustrating, I know
– but it’s also a timing thing
– better to wait until more evidence is in
– and bring charges closer to the 2018 elections
– the obvious one to charge right now is Steele
Wait? for what? more evidence ? Witnesses will die or statutes of limitations will run out. Obama was average senator, now he is in the club. Has 100 million in the bank and 3 mansions and is now untouchable. He’s still a homo and a muslim.
Frank
– all true
I was just listening to a 2-hour podcast with Jerome Corsi going over the Grassley-Graham letter, which doesn’t seem like much at first glance, but in reality was “explosive”; and he made a compelling argument saying the same thing you did.
Regretfully I agree, entirely, with your sobering assessment.
“It’s time for the Trump administration at appoint a special prosecutor.”
Well, something has to be done to break this gang up so they do not do this again. They are still active in the Trump administration. They need to be exposed and neutralized.
Doesn’t SESSIONS have to do that or is it CONGRESS?
hi felix
Congress can already do some things now
– for example, Comey initiated surveillance against Trump
– without telling the Congress
– that ‘s illegal
– and it is contempt of Congress
– by unlawfully concealing FBI surveillance activities
Give it all to a citizen’s grand jury and let the indictments come. It’s our government and we should be sitting on grand juries issuing indictments instead of a political class controlled special counsel deciding who can be prosecuted and who will be protected.
The enemies of the state would scream obstruction the instant anything is done if Mueller’s witch hunt is still active. that needs to be shut down first.
DrChim:
– there is some benefit of the media blackout
– indictments and prosecutions can go on
– under the radar
A.G. Sessons has a good track record for rounding up the MS13 gangs so what’s stopping him from rounding up the Obama/Clinton gangs?
Sat
Simple answer:
– he does not want to appear partisan
– and when he drops the hammer
– he needs to have all the evidence in hand
– but it seems to me that Steele is a slam-dunk
– and he could be indicted now
They still gotta get rid of the Obama holdovers in the FBI/DoJ, and find a “friendly” judge, not an Obama/Clinton appointee.
Obomit is not in orange in Guantanamo yet???
..
Why bother, Sessions will do NOTHING, and Trump is Afraid to fire Sessions. Get use to Democrats winning and laughing in our faces.
You nailed it!
I am more optimistic
Trump bad-mouthing Sessions is just theater, to throw off & distract Demonrats and the media. If Trump really wanted him gone, he’d have done so.
This is a fairly ignorant alt right web site. There are many popping up all over.
They’re popping up all over because people are finally getting a clue! I’m an Independent who used to vote on both sides of the aisle….for the person and what they stood for, not the party. But after Obama and all the crap pulled with this last election, I will NEVER vote for another Dem. Oh,,,and BTW…when I lived in NY, I did vote for Hillary for Senator. (Believe it or not, she was the lesser of two evils….) Didn’t vote for her for President, however and feel that she now needs to go away.
Then back to the huff n blow with you nimrod.
Turtle:
– Atlas Shrugs is more than 10 years old
– it did not pop up
– you did
Is your mama home?
How many pieces of evidence is needed before the charges are actually FILED? The facts that are available seem to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that certain DNC personnel need to be in jail, along with some people in the FBI, DOJ and State Department.
You ought to know the Negro is FOOL of lies. You tell one lie (and he has told many) and you cannot trust a guy EVER again.
You elected an unstable Negro. He was a racist, a sodomite, a liar, a communist and Moslem who married a transgender.
But somehow the left managed to dupe you, innocently enough, by calling the Negro just a “community organizer”. Oh, just a harmless Negro.
Comey is such a stupid F-.
I think Sessions needs the Mueller witch hunt to further implode in order to really step in and take action. If Sessions acts too quickly, the DemoRats, and MSM are going to lead a tidal wave of all kinds of BS starting with obstruction of justice. After what, 1.5 years since “Trump, Russian collusion”, not a single individual has stepped up with any supporting evidence. We know how everyone is out to remove Trump from office, sending Mueller home right now still, UNFORTUNATELY, looks like it would be too soon. If I have to wait even longer before we are able to send a lot of DemoRats and conspiring S-heads to prison, I’ll wait. Believe me, I’d love to see HRC and BHO sent to Gitmo.
Dag:
Agreed. The crime of the century will take time to solve
– and Comey is just crazy
– all those nutty tweets show that he has no remorse
– and he can’t erase those tweets when he comes up for sentencing
– if a convicted perp remains an arrogant unrepentant jerk
– then he will do more time
It cracks me up when the Community Organizer says a billionaire doesn’t have enough “smarts” to be President.
There was not “a smidgen of corruption” in the Obhammud administration, that is, until after they left. Now it is a daily mention in the news with the weaponizing of the IRS, DOJ, and FBI with more sure to follow. Film at 11.
Until they left ? TARP and buying votes from the UAW while screwing GMC stockholders , just for starters .
All smoke and mirrors, folks. No one is going to jail. None of these buffoons want that. It’s one party, Congress, against the nation.
Yesterday my wife + I concluded that the swamp has serious dirt on Jeff Sessions–or they are threatening his family, something like that. Maybe hire a PI firm to look into this. Jeff is behaving contrary to all of his values and previous career.
Or Sessions wants to indict 100+
– and he needs more evidence
– to get them all
– I’m sure there are at least 100 perps in this
Special counsels NYAAH!! Grand juries — YES. Stop the lawyers from controlling investigations. They can’t be trusted. In times gone by citizen grand juries indicted politicians all of the time. It ‘s time for the people to take over and begin issuing indictments. If instead of Ken Starr a citizens grand jury had investigated Clinton he would have been indicted.
Special counsels are politically motivated and highly subject to political class intervention. Grand juries with outside the beltway prosecutors brought in could clean up the mess quickly and that’s what the political class controlling D.C. is scared to death of.
Can Obama be tried as a traitor to my country?
Of course !
Which country is that ?
I think he’d rather be tried as a traitor, than to admit he’s a Kenyan by birth.
Perry Mason is on retainer.
Did you see the new obama official portraits?
LOL.
obama looks like he’s sitting on the commode.
Michelle looks like a rando Michelle wishes she looked like.
In and of themselves these portraits sum up the obama years quite nicely — FAIL!
Chris
Fade to black
– demand his paper original birth certificate
– and when he has none
– erase his entire presidency from the records
– and hang a black canvas
– titled “position unoccupied”
Who paid for this garbage?
We need a constitutional Sheriff (look it up) to head up this investigation and prosecution of High Crimes and Misdemeanors. I am not sure who to have protect them, as the current crop of criminals and treasonists have shown themselves willing to kill any who get close enough to the truth to own it. I do not remember a time in our history as a sovereign country, when the inmates have been allowed such latitude in running the asylum.
Some of the fallout from this needs to land on Sessions , for his work at covering up for the crooks .
Validate your 2nd Amendment Rights…… Carry
Much as I hate to say it, Sessions might’ve done the right thing in recusing himself, so that others like Rod Rosenstein, and Robert Mueller, could dig their own graves, the further this investigation goes on.
It’s just that the wheels of justice are turning incredibly slow, so slow that if the Democrats happen to regain the Senate this year, Trump will never get to the bottom of just how corrupt DC is.
Even Watergate took 2 years to transpire before Nixon resigned, and that was child’s play compared to the tangled web of deception the Democrats have woven.
I don’t think it’ll be long before a 2nd prosecutor is appointed to investigate the above-mentioned names, among others.
You’re right , and I would like to see a grand jury tossed into the mix , take some of the control away from the government .
Should we wait until the corrupt politicians are sentenced before we go after the leftist media, or should we take it one step at a time? I guess the details of the statutes of limitation need to be considered in this.
