Judicial Watch Sues Justice Department for Comey’s ‘Exit Records’

Via Billy

Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Justice for all non-disclosure agreements pertaining to the handling, storage, protection, dissemination, and/or return of classified information that were signed by or on behalf of former FBI Director James Comey (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-01624)).

The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the Justice Department failed to respond to a June 13, 2017, FOIA request seeking “any and all non-disclosure agreements pertaining in full or in part to the handling, storage, protection, dissemination, and/or return of classified and/or sensitive information that were signed by or on behalf of former FBI Director James Comey.”  Such records would include:

• All SF-312 (Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement) forms
• All FD-857 (Sensitive Information Nondisclosure Agreement) forms
• All FD-597 (Receipt for Property Received/Returned/Released or Seized) forms
• All FD-291 (FBI Employment Agreement) forms
• All Case Briefing Acknowledgement forms

“How is it the FBI allowed Mr. Comey to walk out the door with sensitive documents about President Trump?” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.  “It is remarkable that we have to sue the FBI in federal court to get these answers about this scandal.”
