| Justice Dept. taps federal prosecutor to oversee handover of Hillary documents to Congress |
| 2018-04-09 |
| [Wash Times] The Department of Justice has tapped John Lausch, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, to oversee the process of turning over subpoenaed documents to congressional committees. In November, two House committees had requested documents detailing the FBI’s actions surrounding investigations related to the 2016 presidential campaign. That includes the probe into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant for Trump campaign aide Carter Page and last month’s firing of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The Justice Department stalled in handing over the documents, a delay they blame on the sheer volume of documents and number of redactions. Lawmakers grew frustrated, eventually issuing a subpoena to speed up document production. Last Thursday at noon was the deadline to hand over 1.2 million documents, but the Justice Department had only given legislators about 3,000 pages. |

| #1 How about they just give them to oversight committee unredacted? Let Congressional oversight committees do their mandated jobs. IMHO most of the redactions are CYA redactions and not national security redactions. |
