More than two more months have passed. Not a single other agency has produced a single record.
Six months later, none of the other agencies in this FOIA lawsuit - including CIA, NSA, ODNI and the FBI - have made a single production of records yet. Just a lot of feet-dragging and bureaucratic finger-pointing.

NEW: Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a flurry of unmasking requests last spring, just as Trump & aides were slamming Obama admin & Biden for their use of the mechanism to get names of Americans mentioned in intelligence reports politi.co/3rG0CfX #FOIA

1/Last Nov we filed #FOIA lawsuit for @JMadisonProject & @NoahShachtman against @Interior to learn who tweeted this unprofessional Public Affairs msg in response to @TimFullerton. No federal agency should act this way. Today, we settled case & learned @BenGoldey was responsible.

.@Interior's social media reflects the incredible breadth of the mission. My mandate to our comms team is clear: we are public servants. On these valuable platforms, all views are welcome, perspectives respected, and individuals valued #BeBetter

Today, on behalf of @JMadisonProject & @NoahShachtman, my firm filed #FOIA lawsuit against @USGSA to obtain all docs, incl @GSAEmily's e-mails, that reveal why - & on whose instructions - they delayed certifying @Transition46 & providing needed funds for smooth govt transition.
If you are journalist who wants to #FOIA @USGSA for any documents relating to this debacle & expose potential partisanship of @GSAEmily, my law firm would be willing to represent you pro bono in court. You just pay filing fee. Transparency is always important. Mark@MarkZaid.com

Today we filed #FOIA request on behalf of @NoahShachtman of @thedailybeast to @USGSA for disclosure of docs pertaining to certification of @JoeBiden's presidential election victory. We cannot compel agency action, but we can ensure transparency. Litigation will follow as needed

We ran into same thing in #FOIA lawsuit for @JMadisonProject & @bradheath. How #embarrassing that @TheJusticeDept ignores official Presidential "statements" yet at same time seeks to further private concerns of First Family.

We can confirm that @BradMossEsq and @MarkSZaidEsq are alive and well, despite the Twitter crisis. No word yet though on how Mr. Moss is doing with the phantom sensations of sending new tweets that he can’t actually send.

Now @ODNIgov joined the fray and denied us expedited processing. Welcome to the #FOIA lawsuit!
Today we learned @StateDept denied our clients' @JMadisonProject & @joshgerstein expedited processing. The ten day period elapses on Friday, June 5th. Congratulations @SecPompeo, you just earned yourself yet another #FOIA lawsuit!

But @RichardGrenell clearly states names of senior officials who requested #unmasking does not jeopardize sources or methods. We filed #FOIA requests today for @JMadisonProject & @joshgerstein for all officials' names from 2016 to now who requested unmaskings. In 10 days we sue.

#NEW FULL LETTER: @RichardGrenell tells @MarkWarner his request last week to declassify and publicly release the underlying intelligence reports in which Obama officials "unmasked" the identity of former national security advisor Michael Flynn would jeopardize sources and methods

Today, we filed #FOIA requests for @JMadisonProject & @joshgerstein to ensure these now unclassified transcripts are publicly released. If they're not released within ten days, we file our lawsuit. #Transparency
"The documents include transcripts of phone calls that then-incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak had in December 2016, during the presidential transition period." foxnews.com/politics/grenell…

Yet again, a federal judge has ruled that when President Trump tweets on matters of national security, you can't be sure that he knows what he's tweeting about.
