The media are pointing out that a Federal District Court Judge, has ruled against the release of the memos former FBI Director James Comey wrote to himself while acting head of the FBI. However, one little thing they fail to notice:
WASHINGTON DC – A federal judge has rejected requests from news organizations to release memos of former FBI Director James Comey’s conversations with President Donald Trump, adding that publicizing the documents could harm special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Friday sided with the Department of Justice after multiple news organizations, including CNN and USA Today, sued for the public release of Comey’s memos after their Freedom of Information Act requests were denied. (read more)
ADD: Thank goodness for DaveNYviii who reminds us that Senator Chuck Grassley has the Comey memos:

Has anyone realized what other cases Judge Boasberg ruled on?
2/23/16. “Last month, one of Sullivan’s colleagues, U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, dismissed lawsuits brought by Judicial Watch and the Cause of Action Institute that sought to force the government to take more aggressive steps to recover Clinton’s deleted emails under the Federal Records Act.

How can a “secret” judge who may have comprised the 4th amendment when approving a fisa request make such a determination? This is a mess. End the secret courts! Impeach all those who sign off on any warrants illegally. If CNN were patriotic they would take this judge to the woodshed. Hopefully, JW will note the judge’s involvement in the other issues. Man….shut the DOJ and FBI DOWN and take the courts with them.

Because they are usually responses to responses to a comment. Word Press does that when there are a lot of responses to a comment.

Our state judges are elected. Try researching. Ballotpedia is a good place to find out when the judge elections come up

Sundance, Comey briefed both Trump and President Obama on the dossier, shortly before it got publicly released. Even though Comey knew that the dossier originated with Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC, he did not inform Trump of that when he briefed him. (We know he didn’t because imagine the outcome if he had !) BIG question – did Comey inform Obama about the political origins of the dossier when he was briefed? Yes or No, things look really bad for either or both of them.
Speaking of Comey’s memos, we need to see the one following his Trump dossier briefing.

Comey didn’t have to brief Obama about the origins of the dossier because Obama knew about it all along.
Remember Page’s text to Strzok in September 2016: “POTUS wants to know everything we’re doing” on Trump.

Why should they not be released, they were leaked to the press by Comey.

The credibility of the FISA court is over. These judges were lied to on multiple occasions. But, have you heard of any of these attorneys being called before the court and dressed down? It suggests a level of complicity that is deeply disturbing.
