Now that Judicial Watch is going to go into hibernation because a republican is in the White House, someone on the left has to take over their job of relentlessly attacking the guy in the White House, especially because this time it will be justified. Good for Vice News.Vice News files lawsuit over Bureau's refusal to disclose its role in Republican's victory.
Vice News is suing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over its refusal to release documents relating to its conduct during the US presidential election.
The news website says the Bureau turned down 50 of its requests, made under the Freedom of Information Act, for files on the FBI’s discussions about Donald Trump.
The requests were made in an attempt to shed light on the FBI's decision, a week before polling day, to make public new information relating to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
The FBI used a previously inactive Twitter account to release files about Mr Clinton’s controversial pardon of Marc Rich, a hedge fund manager who was charged with tax evasion and making business deals with Iran, in 2001.
The Vice lawsuit, filed in conjunction with Ryan Shapiro, a research affiliate at Harvard University, states: “[Vice News] seeks public disclosure of specified government records to make sense of the pivotal role of the FBI, as well as of other agencies, in perhaps the most controversial presidential election in modern US history.
“Despite subsequent disclosures of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, since its inception, the FBI staunchly maintained it was a purely apolitical entity.
“However, numerous leading political and news media figures from across the political spectrum explicitly assert the FBI repeatedly and with significant impact affected the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election.”
