U.S. Department of Justice Office of Information Policy Suite 11050 1425 New York Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Telephone: (202) 514-3642 Re: OIP/11-00627 (F) VRB:LAD:ND This is a final response to your Freedom oflnformation Act (FOIA) request dated April2, 2011, and received in this Office on April13, 2011, for a copy of the Office oflnformation Policy's (OIP) tracking database that includes all open Freedom oflnformation Act, Privacy Act, Presidential Records Act and Mandatory Declassification Review requests in this Office. This response is made on behalf of 0 IP. We have completed our search in OIP and four documents, totaling forty-six pages, have been located that are responsive to your request. These documents consist of four separate logs of requests from OIP's tracking database. I have determined that twenty-five pages are appropriate for release without excision. Also enclosed are twenty-two pages with excisions made pursuant to Exemption 6 ofthe FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6), which pertains to information the release of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of a third party. The withheld information consists of the names of individuals who have requested information on themselves or third parties cited in FOIA requests. None of the information being withheld is appropriate for discretionary disclosure. Please note that in accordance with Department regulations, the cut-off date for our searches was September 12, 2011. See 28 C.F.R. § 16.4(a) (2012). As such, this log contains requests that remained open in OIP's tracking system as of September 12, 2011; many of these requests have since been closed. The information contained in these logs include the request number, analyst initials, requester name, requester organization, date request was initially received, track, and the subject. In some entries, information in the original logs was entered incorrectly; in such instances we have corrected the entry for accuracy. For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. 552(c) (2006 & Supp. IV 2010). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist. If you are not satisfied with my response to this request, you may administratively appeal by writing to the Director, Office of Information Policy, United States Department of Req~_t_N~mbe_r~~ack~e~t~N_umber __ .. ~i_R_eq_uesterName ~ization -~~Received Track ---~- _ 'summ_a_ry_______________ __ MDR-2010:-00002 _ 'tAG/07:~0103 (DRH) __A!!_~ ____ Baranov _______________ 11~~_12_006_ 0:00 Silllpl_e____ ___ ~N HO LEE INV_E_ST_I~TI~N___ _ MDR-2010-{)0003 OIPI08-R0787 (DRH) Artem Baranov 712312008 0:00 iSimple MASS DESTRUCTION TERRORISM STUDY ----- --r- ----~ ---.- ---- --- - -... __ ______. ________ ----- -·- NEARTERMPOTENTfALFORSERIOUSACTSOF-- MDR-_20_10_-{]()()~__ .0IP~08-R07~2_(D_R_H_) IArtem_ .._ra_nov __ _;____. ____ Simple ---~-- --t--T_E_RRORISM ____________ _ MDR-2010:<J0008 ASG/07-~0830 (GE~) 'Andr~ lajac __ IChicago Tribune _ jcomplex IRANIAN DIPLOMATS AND LIBYA ----- MANDATORY DECLASSIFICATION REVIEW FOR f~- INTERAGENCY REPORT OF 1998 REGARDING TERRORISM, fVIDR-2~1~. 09 ~~?-~0836 (DR~-1Artem Baran~_v-l-- _ 711012007 0:00 Simple BOTH FOREIGN & DOMESTIC MDR-2010-0001 !___fAGI09-R1053 (GEB) :carlos Amaral -------t-~.8~12~_5~12-009~0~:0~0- Comple~x__ lwHITE -HOUSE MeMORAND~ OF CONVERSA~ - MDR~2<i10-0001~_]AG1o9-Ro7a4 (GEB) - ~Randall Woods - - : -- 611512009 o:o::_o_+-s~ill1J:>Ie__ ---pj'l<e_c_OM_M_I_TTE_E_.-so_VJ_ET GRA--IN_D_EA_L, AND LEBANON --- ----. ---- ---- ----------- --John-F.

  • Trump Retweets a Post Naming the Alleged Whistleblower
    Democracy Dies in Darkness Politics Impeachment White House Congress Polling The Trailer Fact Checker Trump retweets a post naming the alleged whistleblower By Colby Itkowitz Dec. 28, 2019 at 9:18 p.m. EST President Trump retweeted a post naming the alleged whistleblower who filed the complaint that became the catalyst for the congressional inquiry that resulted in his impeachment by the House of Representatives. On Friday night, Trump shared a Twitter post from @surfermom77, who describes herself as “100% Trump supporter,” with his 68 million followers. That tweet prominently named the alleged whistleblower and suggested that he had committed perjury. By Saturday morning, the post did not appear on Trump’s timeline, though it was visible to certain users and via direct link. On Saturday evening, Twitter acknowledged that a technical glitch made Trump’s retweet appear visible to some users but not others. AD Twitter said the discrepancy was the result of a system error that affected tweets from millions of users, including the president. For months, Trump has threatened to disclose the identity of the whistleblower, complaining that he should be able to face his accuser. In the past few days, he has inched closer to doing so. On Thursday night, the president retweeted a link to a Washington Examiner story that used the name. The alleged whistleblower has also been named in other conservative media, including Breitbart News. He was named by a contributor on Fox News, and Donald Trump Jr. has tweeted the name. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

  • Rethinking the Identity and Role of United States Attorneys
    Rethinking the Identity and Role of United States Attorneys Sara Sun Beale* The reputation and credibility of the Department of Justice were badly tarnished during the Bush administration. This article focuses on concerns regarding the role of partisan politics.1 Critics charge that during the Bush administration improper partisan political considerations pervasively influenced a wide range of decisions including the selection of immigration judges, summer interns and line attorneys; the assignment of career attorneys to particular details; the evaluation of the performance of United States Attorneys; and the decision whether and when to file charges in cases with political ramifications. The Inspector General’s lengthy and highly critical reports have substantiated some of these charges.2 The first two Inspector General (IG) Reports found that the Department improperly used political criteria in hiring and assigning some immigration judges, interns, and career prosecutors.3 The third report * Charles L.B. Lowndes Professor, Duke Law School, Durham, N.C. I would like to acknowledge the outstanding research assistance provided by Michael Devlin, Meghan Ferguson, Amy Taylor, and Molly Brownfield, and the helpful comments of Norman Abrams, Albert Alschuler, Rachel Barkow, Anthony Barkow, Candace Carroll, Colm Connolly, Ronald Goldstock, Bruce Green, Lisa Kern Griffin, James Jacobs, Susan Klein, Daniel Richman, and Adam Safwat. Of course any errors are my own. 1 Other serious concerns about the Department have been raised, particularly in connection with its role in the war on terror. For example, the Department has been the subject of intense criticism for legal analysis that led to the authorization of brutal interrogation techniques for detainees.

  • F:\...\04 D Vladeck Wp9 M
    Litigating National Security Cases in the Aftermath of 9/11 David C. Vladeck* The treacherous terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, and the aftershocks that are still being felt years later, have had a profound effect on the legal landscape in the United States. In 9/11’s immediate aftermath, Congress, in a rare and fleeting moment of bi- partisanship, gave the President far-reaching authority to combat terrorism. Among other measures, Congress authorized the President to use military force against the 9/11 terrorists and those who aided or harbored them,1 enacted the USA PATRIOT Act to give the President unprecedented law enforcement and detention authority over suspected terrorists and those believed to be providing material support to terrorists,2 placed entire categories of unclassified, previously accessible, government-held information off-limits to the public,3 and, by creating the Department of Homeland Security, reorganized the Executive Branch to consolidate and better coordinate our nation’s security agencies.4 The President has used this authority to undertake massive and ongoing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, to detain indefinitely and without criminal charges hundreds of foreign nationals and even American citizens,5 to step up counter-terrorism * Director of the Institute of Public Representation and Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center. This article draws mainly on my experience as a litigator, not as an academic. Prior to joining the full-time faculty at Georgetown in 2002, I spent more than twenty-five years at the Public Citizen Litigation Group, first as a staff attorney and then as director.

Managing Partner [email protected] November 6, 2019 The Honorable Devin Nunes Ranking Member, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 RE: Intelligence Community Whistleblower Written Testimony Dear Ranking Member Nunes: On November 2, 2019, Mark Zaid, communicated directly to you, as the Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (“HPSCI” or “Committee”), our offer to have our Intelligence Community Whistleblower client respond in writing, under oath, and under penalty of perjury to Republican questions. Mr. Zaid communicated that our client will respond to . any written questions you have to the whistleblower. So long as the questions do not seek identifying information, regarding which we will not provide, or are otherwise inappropriate, I will ensure you receive timely answers. Mr. Zaid ensured members of the Committee’s Minority senior staff were formally and timely notified of that offer as well. Of course, as you know, we had already offered to the full Committee this same opportunity by letter dated October 8, 2019, a copy of which is included as an enclosure. Our recent invitation, however, was specifically to ensure the Minority was not in any way shut out of the process. As Mr. Zaid wrote to you, “Being a whistleblower is not a partisan job nor is impeachment an objective. That is not our role.” We have, unfortunately, seen reporting that some of your colleagues “saw this as a ploy to put up a bipartisan front on the Sunday television shows without any expectation to follow through”.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 The President's News Conference September 27, 2020 The President. Does anybody know these two gentlemen in the room? If you don't, let us know. You shouldn't be here if you don't. It's great to have you guys. Yesterday I was very proud to nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court. She is one of our Nation's most brilliant legal minds, and I think she'll do very well. We're moving along very quickly. Tremendous unity in the Republican Party. It's the consequence of winning elections, which we did very substantially, both in the Senate and obviously in the White House. And I think we're going to take back the House; I believe that very strongly. Kevin is doing a fantastic job. And I really believe we're going to take back the House, and we're all working very hard on that. We have noticed some comments made in the media about my incredibly qualified nominee, Amy. The New York Times said her religion is not consistent with American values. She's Catholic. That covers a lot of people. That's a very disgraceful thing to say. Some of the comedians—I don't think they're comedians, because comedians are supposed to be funny; they're not funny, like, at all. [Laughter] They're nasty, they're mean, and they think they're funny. And someday—hopefully, it's in 5 years—but someday, when I'm not here, they're going to be off television because their ratings, which aren't very good anyway, but their ratings are going to go down like you've never seen before.

Judge James D. Hopkins This is the James D. Hopkins Memorial Lecture in honor of Judge Hopkins, who was the Dean of Pace Law School from 1982 to 1983 and earlier served with great distinction on the New York Appellate Division's Second Judicial Department. Judge Hopkins served on that court when I worked in the spe­ cial prosecutor's office, and as head of the appeals bureau, I ar­ gued several cases in Judge Hopkins' court. One case stands out, the case ofSalvatore Nigrone v. Murtagh.! It was an exten­ sive undercover investigation. My office used informants, wire­ taps, and a sham arrest to expose corrupt attempts to influence criminal cases." As a result, a grand jury indicted three judges and two lawyers for perjury before the grandjury.3 On a motion * Professor of Law and James D.
