Judge Orders FBI To Unredact Sections Of Comey Memos
A DC federal judge ruled on Friday that the FBI must unredact portions of former FBI Director James Comey's memos detailing what his alleged conversations with President Trump. Following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by CNN, Judge James E. Boasberg ruled that several batches of redactions were to be released, while others are to remain secret for the time being. Boasberg originally ruled in 2018 that the memos were to remain redacted while the Mueller probe was ongoing. He based his Friday decision on the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report and the FBI's publication of redacted memos, according to The Hill.
Comey claims he documented his interactions with Trump out of fear that they would be mischaracterized by the President. In various filings during this FOIA battle with CNN, the FBI fought tooth-and-nail to keep Comey's memos out of the public eye - at one point telling the court that it's not its job to "second guess" the agency's opinion. One batch concerns a conversation Trump had with former national security adviser Michael Flynn, apparently in regard to which world leader called Trump before US Prime Minister Theresa May to congratulate him on his victory over Hillary Clinton. The FBI had previously argued that the unredacted exchange could harm foreign relations.
Comey also claimed in his memos that President Trump pressured him to cease his investigation into Flynn, reportedly telling Comey "I hope you can let this go," which has been interpreted by some to have potentially been an obstruction of justice. Another exchange ordered unredacted regards a conversation between Comey and Trump in which they discussed Egypt's president, as well as "a reference about the President’s observation about responding to a question he was asked about Russian President Putin" would remain privileged information. In response to the court's ruling, the FBI claims that the release of the Mueller report should have no bearing on the remaining redactions in the Comey memos.

Inside the Ring: Obama and Russian Collusion
Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul provided new clues recently about a controversial open-mic comment in 2012 by President Obama, widely viewed as secret collusion to limit U.S. missile defenses. A boom microphone overheard Mr. Obama telling then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during a nuclear security summit in Seoul on March 26, 2012, that he was facing his "last election" and as a result would have "more flexibility" once reelected. Mr. Medvedev promised to tell "Vladimir" — Vladimir Putin, the real power in Moscow who would again become president two months after the meeting. The disclosure set off widespread criticism of the Obama administration amid concerns that the president was preparing to limit American missile defenses in exchange for a Russian agreement to a follow-on strategic arms treaty to the 2010 New START accord.
Mr. McFaul first disclosed details about the exchange between Mr. Obama and Mr. Medvedev in his book “From Cold War to Hot Peace.” In the book, Mr. McFaul wrote that the president, unaware of the overheard comment, told him after the Seoul meeting that he had discussed “missile defense and me.” The American ambassador had been subjected to a campaign of physical and media harassment by the Russian government. In a car ride after the meeting, Mr. Obama told Mr. McFaul, “Well, the first thing I told him is, I said, ‘Stop f–ing with McFaul,’” Mr. McFaul recounted when asked about the exchange during a recent conference at the Hoover Institution. “I lament in the book I wish that would have been the [comment] picked up instead of the other one,” he said.
Mr. McFaul, in the book, did not go into detail on the missile defense part of the overheard discussion. But when asked by Inside the Ring at the Hoover meeting if the president at the time was willing to make concessions to Moscow on missile defense, Mr. McFaul said, “You’re right. President Obama wanted another arms control treaty. And he had been working with them. “So what he was saying is [that] we’re not going to be able to negotiate on [a follow-on] New START or missile defense until the election,” he said. “And by the way, I don’t understand why that’s such a shocking statement. Elections matter, and he was not going to be focused to talk about it.” Mr. McFaul said presidents use second terms to focus more on foreign policy, but he denied that the United States planned to give away advantages for U.S. missile defenses. The plans for another agreement fell through after the election because Mr. Putin showed no interest in further arms control.

FBI Counterintelligence Is Focus of Trump Campaign Spying Probe
'Crossfire Hurricane' run by FBI headquarters clique against presidential campaign
The ongoing special Justice Department investigation into improper spying on the Trump campaign in 2016 highlights key failings by the FBI's once-storied counterintelligence division. Two senior counterintelligence officials no longer with the bureau are among likely targets of the investigation by John Durham, U.S. attorney for the District of Connecticut. Both were key managers of the high-profile investigations in 2016 into classified information found on Hillary Clinton's private email server, and the now-discredited counterspy operation into links between the Trump presidential campaign and Russian government.
A central figure is Peter Strzok, deputy assistant FBI director for the counterintelligence division, who was fired in August. Another key player was his boss, Bill Priestap, assistant FBI director for counterintelligence, who quietly resigned in December. In the three years since the controversial investigations, the FBI counterintelligence division has sought to rebuild its reputation by conducting aggressive operations untainted by past allegations of liberal political bias through recent high-profile spy cases. Three former CIA officials and a former State Department official in recent months were convicted of spying for China, and Russian military intelligence operatives, while out of reach of U.S. law enforcement, were indicted for cyber attacks in the 2016 election meddling scheme.
The current counterspy activities still are a far cry from one of the FBI's most significant past successes in the Cold War. FBI counterspies successfully recruited and ran Soviet agent Morris Childs, the No. 2 official in the Communist Party USA, as a double agent for 30 years, reaping an intelligence windfall of secrets supplied through Childs' access to Kremlin and Chinese Communist Party leaders. Since the 1990s, however, FBI counterintelligence has suffered numerous failures. They include botched counterspy investigations into Chinese nuclear spies that stole American warhead secrets; a Chinese double agent who worked as an informant for the FBI in Los Angeles; and, most damaging, failing to uncover FBI turncoat agent Robert Hanssen who worked as an FBI counterspy and Moscow agent undetected for more than 20 years. Other counterintelligence lapses included a Cuban mole that operated secretly inside for the Defense Intelligence Agency, the loss of more than two dozen recruited CIA assets in China, and the arrests of numerous recruited intelligence agents in Iran beginning in 2010. Most of the recent criticism of the FBI's counterspy division is focused on Strzok, the most senior agent directly involved with both controversial 2016 investigations.
According to a Justice Department inspector general report, Strzok undermined the FBI by sending text messages to his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, suggesting he was prepared to use the FBI's formidable counterintelligence power to stop candidate Donald Trump from becoming president. Strzok's extramarital affair also was a major counterintelligence threat that made him vulnerable to blackmail by foreign spy services and highlights lax standards for FBI counterspies.
Strzok also was chastised in a more recent Justice Department IG report that concluded May 29. The IG, without naming Strzok, stated that an FBI deputy assistant director, disclosed law enforcement and court-sealed information to the news media and accepted $225 in a gift from a news reporter for attending a media-sponsored dinner in violation of FBI and federal policy. The notice referenced the earlier IG report on the Clinton email probe that was led by Strzok until he shifted his focus—to the detriment of the email probe—to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation that was eventually taken over by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Mueller concluded after an extensive investigation there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, dealing a blow to the near-hysteria among Trump critics and liberal news outlets for more than two years. Strzok's lawyer did not return emails seeking comment on the latest IG findings.
