Judiciary Is About To Get Juicy

Federal employees, officials
plotting and scheming to steal from the U.S. Treasury.

Have you stolen federal dollars?

Have you trafficked tiny humans?

Did you file false claims to federal programs?

Did you sell data to foreign corporations?

Did you sell secret sex tapes of Members of Congress to foreign nationals?

Did you tap phones of Members of Congress?

Have you changed congressional votes?

Were you paid off to manipulate an election?

Did you steal from any FEC campaign committee?

Did you use an FEC campaign committee to steal?

Did you conspire to remove a sitting Member of Congress?

Did you forge any congressional documents?

Did you ever blackmail anyone in Congress, White House, Judiciary?

Were you selling drugs on Capitol Hill?

Did you set up fake corporations?

Did you sell fake mortgages?

Did you steal the children, the land and the vote?

Do you flinch at the term #perkinscoiesucks?

Were you mean to my Sweetie?

If you have answered, "Yes" to any of these questions, then you might just be one of the reasons why the FBI has doubled its staff to process Judiciary's request for production of documents.

FBI doubles personnel to respond to Goodlatte requests

FBI Director Christopher Wray is doubling the number of FBI personnel tasked with responding to records requests from House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), he said in a statement Tuesday night.

Up until Tuesday, 27 dedicated staffers were working to process Goodlatte's request. The committee has received about 3,000 documents so far.

Wray said while there is a very large number of documents to provide, "I agree that the current pace of production is too slow."

Goodlatte — who along with House Oversight and Government Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) is investigating alleged bias at the Justice Department — last week issued a subpoena to obtain documents related to how the FBI handled its probe into Hillary Clinton’s email server and potential surveillance abuses.

Conservatives on the two committees have become increasingly frustrated with what they say is the slow pace with which the Justice Department has turned over documents, leading to slow-going in the probe.

Specifically, lawmakers want to see a tranche of over a million documents examined by Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is conducting a parallel probe into decisionmaking during the 2016 election.

"Quite candidly, if you're a FOIA applicant, you have a better chance of getting information," Gowdy told The Hill in an interview last week.

Democrats have called the Goodlatte-Gowdy probe a partisan distraction aimed at muddying the waters around special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into President Trump's campaign and Russia.

DOJ spokesman Ian Prior said in a statement last week that officials are carefully combing through the documents page-by-page to protect certain sensitive information. The committee has been receiving documents on a rolling basis every 10 to 14 days, he said.

He also pushed back on the breadth of the document request, saying the DOJ believes there are 30,000 documents relevant to the committee's inquiry and describing the 1.2 million document request as "substantial."

Fifty-four FBI staff members, working in two shifts from 8 a.m. to midnight, will now work to "expedite" the project, according to Wray.
