Ilhan Omar's accountant's dog ate his worksheet, evidently

Ilhan Omar without makeup and sleep

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Anti-Semite-MN) announced she is not a millionaire after all and pinned the whole thing on a hilarious "major accounting error" once a congressional financial disclosure pegged her assets as high as $30 million and sparked awkward questions from Republicans and a congressional watchdog.

An amended filing reviewed by The Wall Street Journal revealed that the far-left so called Squad member and her husband's assets were actually somewhere between $18,004 and $95,000, which represented a pretty steep plunge from the earlier disclosure that had them sitting pretty between $6 million and $30 million.

"The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire," Omar spokesperson comrade Jacklyn Rogers told the Journal, adding that the filing was corrected "as soon as the discrepancy was identified" [and reasonable accusations were made by Republicans who noticed her incredible new-found inexplicable wealth].

The revised disclosure arrived after the Office of Congressional Conduct politely asked for more information earlier this year, according to the Journal.

Omar's attorney explained in a letter to the watchdog that the wildly inaccurate filing was totally unintentional and simply the result of trusting those fancy accountants. "Perhaps it was a dog to blame who ate her accountant's worksheet," some on the left said in her defense.

"As the busiest of people, it is very common for members and their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations and determinations that appear on public filings," the attorney wrote, according to the Journal. "While the error is of course unfortunate, there is nothing untoward and nothing illegal has occurred." It is not known whether or not her lawyer is associated with CAIR or any other untoward group.

The amended filing shows Omar reported between $102,503 and $1,005,200 in income in 2024 from assets she and her latest husband own, according to the Journal. Documentation attached to the attorney's letter showed $213,200 in distributions to her husband from his venture capital management firm and $3,000 from an un-Islamic winery.

A 2025 email between Omar's husband and his accountant valued the venture capital firm at $7.9 million and the un-Islamic winery at $1.5 million, though he owns roughly one-third of both businesses, according to tax documents cited by the Journal.

The updated disclosure also shows Omar has between $15,001 and $50,000 in student loan debt and a similar amount in credit card debt which she has not paid.

The massive discrepancy had already drawn sharp scrutiny from House Republicans, who wondered aloud how such an enormous swing in reported assets managed to sail through without anyone noticing.

In a February letter to Omar's latest husband, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) raised concerns about financial disclosures showing the value of two companies, eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital, had magically surged from tens of thousands of dollars in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024. The chances of that happening without anyone immediately noticing is about as likely as finding Don Lemon in bed with Rep. Omar.

Comer said the sudden increase "raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence," and requested financial records tied to the businesses.

Omar's office pushed back, describing Comer's request as "a political stunt" and part of a campaign "meant to fundraise, not real oversight," according to The Associated Press. 

So it's a political stunt when the GOP notices what appears to be improprieties, but not when the shoe is on the other foot. Now that is what is known as politics.

Her most recent husband: definitely not her brother this time

A 2025 financial disclosure filing had previously listed Omar's latest husband's business interests in the millions, including an un-Islamic winery valued between $1 million and $5 million and a venture capital firm valued between $5 million and $25 million.

Those valuations were later revised in the amended filing, with the businesses listed as having no net value once liabilities were factored in, according to the Journal.

Omar, an anti-Semite originally from Somalia and member of the "Squad," has frequently clashed with President Donald Trump since first being elected in 2018 and has long been a target of Republican criticism because of her pro-Somalia/anti-American stance.

Trump has suggested that Omar benefited from Minnesota's sprawling welfare fraud scandal involving many people from the Somali community, a claim she has denied.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton weighed in on the amended filing, questioning how previously unreported liabilities somehow vaporized millions in reported assets:

"Ilhan Omar says her congressional financial reports have massive accounting error," Fitton wrote on X. She and her husband only worth 18k-86k, NOT $6 million-$30 million! Previously unreported 'liabilities' erase wealth!"

FBI's Jihad against Catholics

Christopher bin Wray

Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog, recently released about 100 pages of FBI documents that show how the agency kind of lied about their targeting of Catholic churches.

 In a press release posted Friday by Judicial Watch it said, "FBI Director Christopher Wray had told congressmen that the memo was ‘a single product by a single field office,’ but the records uncovered by Judicial Watch show that it was "Reviewed by: OGC/CDC [Office of General Counsel/Chief Deputy Counsel].'"

Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request related to an internal FBI memo leaked earlier this year. The document sounded as if it came from the Crusades and was written by Islamic Jihad. It revealed that the FBI had efforts underway to identify and treat Catholics as "potential terrorists."

"The records also indicate coordination with officials from Portland and Milwaukee," the press release said.

The FBI Richmond internal memo, titled "Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities," was leaked in January and drew instant criticism from the GOP.

Holy crucifixes Batman!

It identified "radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]" as potential "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists" and said that "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) in radical-traditionalist Catholic (RTC) ideology almost certainly presents opportunities for threat mitigation through the exploration of new avenues for tripwire and source development."

FBI Director Christopher bin Wray and the agency have previously claimed the memo was related to only one FBI field office in Richmond, VA.

Following the memo leak, the FBI told Fox News Digital "headquarters quickly began taking action to remove the document from FBI systems and conduct a review of the basis for the document."

Conduct a review? Maybe they also have a bridge to sell.

"While our standard practice is to not comment on specific intelligence products, this particular field office product — disseminated only within the FBI — regarding racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI," the statement said.

Their standard practice is to constantly cover their collective butt. 

The agency spoke to Fox News Digital earlier in the year claiming "any characterization that the FBI is targeting Catholics is false." [Adding: 'does this butt cover make me look guilty?']

However, Judicial Watch suggests these new documents show that is not the case and the issue was broader than the FBI let on.

"These documents disprove the FBI’s narrative that the spy operation against Catholics and churches was limited to one field office. In fact, the operation seems to have been approved by top lawyers in the FBI," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton wrote.

"These documents should trigger a criminal inquiry into this Biden FBI scandal."

The Judicial Watch documents show that FBI officials from various field offices discussed the FBI Crusades against the Church. In fact,  General Counsel Jason Jones in an email says, "[Assistant Director] Dunham asked that we circulate the attached draft ‘Complicated Questions’ document for the Director’s upcoming testimony for your review.

"As you will see, the draft reflects feedback received from various divisions/stakeholders to date, and certain topics continue to evolve."

Conservatives knew all along that the FBI was lying and had been targeting Catholics on a much larger scale than they claimed. Republicans earlier this year uncovered similar documents they said showed several field offices were involved in the attacks on Catholics.

Yes, your butt-cover does make you look guilty, Director Wray.

Huma Abedin's email claim contradicted by former aide

Washington -- [from an article in The Epoch Times] On March 19 Justin Cooper, a former aide to Hillary Clinton said in a Judicial Watch (JW) deposition made public on June 18, that he worked with Clinton's closest aide, Huma Abedin in 2009. His job was to set up the unsecured private [and illegal] private email account that was then used by Clinton to illegally conduct official US diplomatic business.

Cooper’s statement contradicts Abedin’s claim in a 2016 deposition by JW, the non-profit government watchdog.

Abedin claimed that she only learned about the private email setup in 2015 by “reading in some news articles about a year, a year-and-a-half ago, when it was—it was being publicly discussed.”

She also claimed that she once saw a unicorn being ridden by a chicken in a top hat.

Abedin was deputy chief of staff throughout Clinton’s tenure as the United States’ chief diplomat and continued with her during the Democratic candidate’s unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2016. Some of her family members belong or belonged to the Muslim Brotherhood and Huma was married to Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former NY congressman and New York mayoral hopeful [until he got caught with his pants down on Twitter trying to score with an underage girl. He recently got out of the slammer.]

To quote The Epoch Times:

Asked if the Cooper deposition represents additional legal problems for Abedin, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told The Epoch Times on June 18 that “the legal liabilities never went away, so it’s a matter of political will by the Justice Department. … The leadership is going to have to step up to move forward on any of this.”

Cooper, who was an adviser to President Bill Clinton, also said that a week before his deposition, he spoke with Cheryl Mills, the attorney who served as Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department and represented her legally during the FBI’s investigation of the email server. Mills accompanied Hillary Clinton when she was interviewed by the FBI.

Mills is especially controversial because U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Royce Lamberth said in a related case that he “was actually dumbfounded when I found out, in reading that report, that Cheryl Mills had been given immunity because … I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case, where I found her unworthy of belief, and I was quite shocked to find out she had been given immunity in, by the DOJ [Department of Justice] in the Hillary Clinton email case.”

But so far, everyone involved in the scandal have not been charged and Hillary has been "James Comeyed."

Judge orders Antifa activist to pay Judicial Watch's legal fees for her 'Entirely Frivolous Lawsuit'

Washington, D.C. -- A U.S. District Judge in California awarded Judicial Watch $22,000 in legal fees in a case filed by an Antifa organizer in an effort to block Judicial Watch from obtaining information about her activities.

Yvette Felarca, a middle school teacher in the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD), and two co-plaintiffs were ordered to pay Judicial Watch $22,000 in attorney’s fees and $4,000 in litigation costs.

Felarca had sued the BUSD in federal court to keep the school district from fulfilling its legal obligation to provide Judicial Watch with records of their communications mentioning: Felarca, Antifa, and/or BAMN, the acronym for By Any Means Necessary.

Judicial Watch also requested Felarca’s personnel file.

Felarca is a prominent figure in BAMN, a group founded by the Marxist Revolutionary Workers League that protests conservative speaking engagements and employs the "heckler's veto" by shouting down speakers and denying them their First Amendment rights. They also use violence.

In 2016, Felarca and two of her anarchist allies were arrested and charged with several crimes, including felony assault, for inciting a riot in Sacramento. Earlier this year, Felarca was ordered to stand trial for assault.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria, Northern District of California, who had previously ruled that Felarca’s lawsuit was “entirely frivolous,” wrote in his ruling awarding legal fees to Judicial Watch that Felarca and her co-plaintiffs’ First Amendment claims were “premised on the obviously baseless assumption” that the First Amendment condemns the speech of some while condoning the ideological missions of others.

Judge Chhabria added that “The plaintiffs also mischaracterized the documents under review” and that the plaintiffs “failed to grapple with the role Ms. Felarca played in making herself a topic of public discourse through her physical conduct at public rallies and her voluntary appearance on Fox News [see video below.]

The judge's order also states that “a significant portion of the documents the plaintiffs initially sued to protect from disclosure had been publicly disclosed months earlier in another suit brought by Ms. Felarca against BUSD, where she was represented by the same counsel. The plaintiffs, therefore, had no reasonable argument to protect those documents from disclosure.”

LOL

Along with Felarca’s $20,000 payment, co-plaintiffs Lori Nixon and Larry Stefl were ordered by Judge Chhabria to pay Judicial Watch $1,000 each (Yvette Felarca, et al., v. Berekely Unified School District, et al. (No. 3:17-cv-06282-VC)).

“Judicial Watch is entitled to attorney’s fees because the plaintiffs’ lawsuit was frivolous, and their litigation conduct was unreasonable,” Judge Chhabria wrote in his order.

Additionally, Judge Chhabria’s order holds the plaintiffs “jointly and severally liable” to pay Judicial Watch $4,000 in litigation expenses.

In 2017, Judicial Watch filed a California Public Records Act (CPRA) request seeking public records information about Felarca’s Antifa activism and its effect within the Berkeley Unified School District.

In Felarca's lawsuit aimed at keeping the Berkeley school district from furnishing the records, the anarchist alleged that Judicial Watch was misusing the law for political means and the district should refuse to provide the information.

In January 2018, a separate judge ordered Felarca to pay more than $11,000 in attorney and court fees for her frivolous attempt to get a restraining order against Troy Worden, the former head of the University of California (UC) Berkeley College Republicans.

“This is a huge victory for Judicial Watch against Antifa and the violent left,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “Ms. Felarca attacked Judicial Watch without basis and the court was right to reject her ploy to deny our ‘right to know’ because we don’t share her violent left views.”

Currently, Ms. Felarca is walking the streets a free woman, much like Hillary Clinton. But at least in Felarca's case, justice will be served. I'm not so sure about the other one.

Judicial Watch files ethics complaint against Adam Schiff[less]

Judicial Watch, a conservative government transparency group filed an official complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics against House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Monday.

The complaint alleges that Schiff, (the guy who Greg Gutfeld says looks like Woody from "Toy Story")  acted inappropriately when he met with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson and with Michael "I'd Take a Bullet for Trump" Cohen, the former Trump attorney, before their congressional hearings.

Last week, the Daily Wire discussed Schiff’s “nagging ethics questions,” pointing out that his meeting with Simpson has the appearance of impropriety, as it took place before Simpson testified about his involvement in the alleged Russian collusion narrative and his role in the FBI’s previous investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

The article was published just before it was discovered that Schiff met with Cohen for a total of 10 hours before Cohen testified before the House regarding what he knows about other alleged crimes committed by President Donald Trump.

While the JW complaint focuses on the two meetings, it also noted that Schiff appears to leak confidential information to the media during closed-door testimony. Multiple sources have reported that Schiff will leave the room during testimony, and a few minutes later, a “scoop” would appear on CNN reporting on something from the meeting. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said Schiff also left the room during Donald Trump Jr.’s closed-door testimony and CNN got a "scoop" once again. Former staffer Donny Ferguson said Schiff did this during Benghazi hearings, and the same thing happened during Cohen’s testimony. 

Whether or not Schiff[less] has a quid pro quo arrangement with the Comedy News Network is not known at this time, but would anybody be surprised if one day Schiff becomes a political analyst [accent on 'anal'] for the network?

“Rep. Schiff has an ethics problem. His and his staff’s irregular communications with anti-Trump witnesses reflect poorly on the credibility of the House and its committees’ investigations,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a press release. 

“It has long been apparent that Rep. Schiff can’t be trusted to lead the Intelligence Committee, so we hope that Democrats on the Ethics Committee stop protecting Mr. Schiff and take action,” Fitton said.

The complaint cites the House Code of Official Conduct and media reports on Schiff’s behavior, but then uses Schiff’s own words against him. In 2017, Schiff demanded then-House Intel Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) recuse himself because he had told Trump about an “incidental collection” of campaign communications.

At the time Schiff wrote that “I believe the public cannot have the necessary confidence that matters involving the president’s campaign or transition team can be objectively investigated or overseen by the chairman.”

If the foo Schiffs wear it.

Hillary Clinton's email past comes back to bite her somewhere

U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ruled on Thursday that Hillary Clinton's use of a private server while serving as an incompetent secretary of state was "one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency."

The conservative watch dog group Judicial Watch had filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the State and Justice departments. The lawsuit alleges that Clinton's email practices [aka; malpractices] show a deliberate effort to violate the FOIA, Politico reported.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton praised Lamberth’s ruling on Friday, telling Fox News the ruling showed that the court was “not terribly convinced” fired FBI Director James Comey adequately investigated Clinton’s use of the private server while secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Lordy.

As a result of the judge’s ruling, “Some people like Mrs. Clinton potentially will have to answer further questions,” Fitton said.

Heavens.

According to The Hill, Lamberth ordered the State and Justice departments on Thursday, to work with Judicial Watch on a discovery plan in order to determine if Clinton used the bathroom-stationed server to circumvent FOIA requirements.

If that's the case, then Hillary may change her pantsuits for orange jumpsuits.

Clinton was discovered to have thousands of deleted emails that she said were personal (over 30 thousand yoga and wedding-related emails) and not related to her State Department work. 

Comey announced during the 2016 presidential campaign that Clinton’s handling of emails was “extremely careless” but did not warrant criminal charges because he thought he was the judge and jury which shows just how incredibly narcissistic he is.

Golly.

State Dept. releases Huma Abedin emails found on Anthony Weiner's computer

It looks like they've finally sorted through the porn and got to the Huma Abedin emails on husband Anthony Weiner's computer. 

The emails came from the account of Hillary Clinton and were discovered by the FBI on Weiner's laptop (yuck!) near the end of the 2016 presidential campaign.

The reason the FBI was looking through the computer in the first place (and I hope they wore gloves) was due to the investigation of Weiner whereby the former Democratic congressman sexted a 15-year-old girl. He was convicted of sexting and sentenced to only 21 months in prison last month.

He better not drop the soap.

In order to avoid looking like a bigger fool than she did when she was working for the worst presidential candidate in American history, Abedin filed for divorce.

The emails uncovered by the FBI screwed up the 2016 presidential race after then-FBI Director James Comey revealed days before the election that they found more Clinton messages.

This discovery reopened the case against Clinton, but lucky for her, she had Comey in her corner to cut corners and exonerate her before the agency even interviewed her in an exoneration that wasn't in his job description to decide. That was up to the Justice Department.

But nobody's perfect and Comey was eventually fired and it was long overdue. He walks around trees and stuff with poetry and Bible verses dancing in his head.

His tweets are profound and inspires hope in all of the nation.

Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, filed suit against the State Department for all official State Department emails sent or received by Abedin on a non-state.gov email address. They finally got what they asked for.

Tom Fitton, the group's president, said Friday in a statement: "This is a major victory. After years of hard work in federal court, Judicial Watch has forced the State Department to finally allow Americans to see these public documents."

Yes, folks, these are public documents and we have a right to see them. They belong to the people, not on some sticky laptop belonging to a pervert in the slammer.

Fitton added: "That these government docs were on Anthony Weiner's laptop dramatically illustrates the need for the Justice Department to finally do a serious investigation of Hillary Clinton's and Huma Abedin's obvious violations of law."

Now the question is, will President Trump follow up on this as he promised to "lock her [Hillary Clinton] up?"

I have a suspicion that Hillary will never see the inside of a prison and will languish her final days counting stains on dresses.

FBI outed by Judicial Watch re: famous 'tarmac meeting'

The CEO of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton has discovered new documents that reveal the FBI covered up for Hillary Clinton in the probe regarding her private server and emails containing highly classified information.

The meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the tarmac of the Phoenix Airport on June 27, 2016, was "engineered" by former President Clinton--it was no accident and it wasn't about yoga and grandkids. The fact that the FBI was looking into Hillary's emails wasn't just coincidental to that meeting.

Fitton questions whether it was coincidental that just a few days later, the director of the FBI who served under Lynch, James Comey,  would not recommend prosecuting Hillary Clinton for her illegal email server, in spite of the obvious evidence that he should have gone forward with that recommendation.

What Fitton learned, however, that "a frantic scramble erupted in the halls of the FBI to cover up this meeting. In fact, the FBI turned its sharp light not on the scandalous meeting between the attorney general and Bill Clinton--but rather on one of the whistleblowers who got the word out."

Judicial Watch, using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) on July 7, 2016,  requested the FBI provide them "for any records that might pertain to the infamous tarmac meeting." The request was ignored by the FBI and Judicial Watch had to sue them.

The FBI then lied saying they couldn't find any records, but JW knew it wasn't true because in responding to another FOIA lawsuits, the DOJ gave them heavily redacted documents that showed there were additional documents over at FBI headquarters.

Since this was revealed in other JW lawsuits, somehow the FBI "reopened" their FOIA request and allegedly found about 30 pages of information that took them six weeks to review.

JW just received them last Thursday.

The documents JW received, show that FBI officials were concerned "solely about the leaking of details of the tarmac meeting. None of the documents show top agency officials cared one whit about the propriety of the meeting itself, but only about who blew the whistle on the covert tête-à-tête."

One email JW received said "we need to find that guy." The Phoenix FBI office was contacted, it was learned, "in an attempt to stem any further damage."

It took Judicial Watch to catch the FBI in an attempted cover-up. Our tax dollars at work for a jerk who lost to Donald Trump.

Judge orders feds to release the hounds on Clinton's emails

"I'll get you, my pretty--and your little
dog too!"

A federal judge ordered the FBI to disclose more details regarding how they [mis]handled their investigation into Hillary Clinton's illegal, secret email account, known to have contained Special Access Program (SAP) documents, top secret and other classified emails. 

SAP documents are even more highly classified than top secret and contain names of operatives in the field--compromising these SAP documents clearly puts those lives in danger.

People have gone to prison for much lesser offenses, but Hillary Clinton continues to breathe the air of a free traitor.

U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg said court papers describing the grand jury subpoenas the FBI received to compel information from Clinton's internet service providers can be made public. He overruled objections by the TRUMP administration that insisted making the information public would violate grand jury secrecy rules.

"After reviewing the document in camera, the court concludes that it largely rehashes information already made public, thus obviating any need for secrecy," Boasberg said.

Conservative advocacy groups, Judicial Watch and Cause of Action Institute, have been pushing the government for more information about Clinton's emails and they applauded the judge's ruling.

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton, said he didn't understand why the Trump administration was still backing the Obama administration's fight against transparency in this case.

Was Trump merely kidding about putting Hillary Clinton in prison?

"President Trump ought to be outraged his appointees are protecting Hillary Clinton," Fitton said. "The State Department should initiate action with the Justice Department--and both agencies should finally take the necessary steps to recover all the government emails Hillary Clinton unlawfully removed." 

Clinton said she included all of her work-related emails when returning them to the department, then wiped the secret server,which she kept in her home. 

She cleaned the server with BleachBit, not with a "cloth" as she told Fox News' Ed Henry,  feigning stupidity of the process to likely hide her guilt. She said the emails she wiped were her daughter's wedding plans and some yoga lessons.

Top Secret Yoga move

Yes, top secret yoga lessons.

However, the FBI was able to obtain some work-related emails that Crooked Hillary didn't turn over, which raises the question of what else did she hide from the American people.

The FBI also refused a Freedom of Information Act request this week from a New York lawyer seeking the file on its investigation into Hillary Clinton. They claimed there was too little public interest in the case [even though they never actually polled the public in that regard] to outweigh Clinton's privacy interests.

In Hillary Clinton's case, it isn't about privacy interests--it's about secrecy needs.

Judicial Watch seeks docs "unlawfully removed" by Comey

Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group is calling for Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe to acquire and release federal records and memos it claims were "unlawfully" removed by former and fired FBI Director James Comey. The group is threatening the FBI with a lawsuit if they fail to comply.

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch wrote a letter to McCabe on President Trump's birthday (June 14) warning of a potential violation of the Federal Records Act, which is the basis for the federal government's policies regarding the "creating, maintaining, and disposing" of federal records. Perhaps this will be Mr. Fitton's birthday present to Mr. Trump.

After all, isn't the government supposed to work for us, and doesn't the public own unclassified government documents?

Fitton's letter began, "As you may be aware, the Federal Records Act imposes a direct responsibility on you to take steps to recover any records unlawfully removed from the FBI." 

He was referring to memos unlawfully removed by Comey that could contain contents regarding the Russian campaign meddling investigation in the 2016 US presidential election.

The letter went on: "Upon learning that records have been unlawfully removed from the FBI, you then are required to initiate action through the Attorney General for the recovery of records."

Fitton spoke to Fox News. "We're looking to get action on the records that Comey unlawfully took from the FBI, and we know initially there are memos, but depending on what the nature of the documents are, there could be liabilities for Mr. Comey," he said.

Since the "memos" were written by Comey himself, and because it's unclear how they would be viewed by the courts or the FBI, Fitton insists they are official records.

Comey had recently testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee that he gave one of his memos concerning a meeting he had with President Trump to a friend, Columbia University Law Professor Daniel Richman, who leaked the memo to the New York Times. 

"I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter--I thought that might prompt the appointment of special counsel," Comey admitted in his testimony.

Why isn't that a problem? Just like Hillary Clinton's bleaching her server, the intent appears to be the same in both cases, which is obstruction of justice.

In fact, Fitton said that Comey's removing of documents from the FBI is "the Hillary Clinton email scandal all over again."

According to former FBI official, John Iannarelli, who spoke to Fox News, "The things Comey allegedly took are not classified. The issue is not him taking documents, but the matter of how he released them--classified or not, there is a procedure in doing that which he did not follow."

However, Judicial Watch insists the memos and other related documents he may have were federal records which the Justice Department and the FBI are "obligated" to get back.

"The former FBI director isn't above the law," Fitton said, "and current leadership of the FBI should stop protecting him and take action."

Judicial Watch said in the letter that if McCabe and the FBI don't respond by June 26, they will file a lawsuit in federal district court "seeking that you be compelled to comply with the law."

If it isn't too much to ask.

Lerner learned from Hillary

It looks like Lois Lerner, the IRS official investigated for Tea Party targeting scandal, attended the Hillary Clinton School of Internet Insecurity. Now the IRS admitted in federal court that Lois had a second email account.

The name Lerner used on this covert account was "Toby Miles," the same name as her pooch. Why she chose a handle belonging to a mongrel is anyone's guess.

Nostril-flaunting Lerner

The IRS admission was first reported by The Washington Times on Monday in an open-records lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, who is currently suing to see pretty little Miss Lerner's emails that were sent during her targeting of conservative groups for further IRS scrutiny. The targeting goes way above and beyond how the IRS scrutinizes liberal groups.

Geoffrey Klimas, an attorney representing the IRS, told the court that another email account in addition to her official government account, was discovered as they prepared for the hearing.

"In the process of preparing this status report and for the August 24, 2015 release of Lerner communications, the undersigned attorneys learned that, in addition to emails to or from and email account denominated 'Lois G. Lerner' or 'Lois Home,' some emails responsive to Judicial Watch's request may have been sent to or received from a personal email account denominated 'Toby Miles,'" Klimas said.

Toby is the dog, Miles is her husband's last name.

The IRS concluded that the account was a personal one used by Lois Lerner, who, like Hillary, seems to never learn. They are reviewing previous releases to Judicial Watch and will provide an update in a few days to conclude if any new searches need to be done or any documents need to be re-released with different redactions.

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch said that "This is the latest in a parade of obstruction from the IRS and the Department of Justice on these issues." And like the Hillary Clinton cluster fart, he pointed out to Fox News how putting sensitive government information on a non-government account was "disturbing."

Fitton explained that a special counsel should be appointed in this case as both the IRS and DoJ knew about the Toby Miles account for some time.

Fitton then added that "the IRS scandal is not over."

Neither are the Hillary Clinton scandals.
