Judicial Watch Sues CIA Over Communications That Reportedly Targeted President Trump
By Michael W. Chapman | February 1, 2022 | 12:58pm EST

(CNS News) -- The government watchdog group Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for communications between then-CIA Director Gina Haspel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley in 2020-21, which reportedly involved the targeting of President Donald Trump.

As reported in Newsweek, in the days after the 2020 presidential election, Haspel apparently told Milley, "We are on the way to a right-wing coup."

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a statement said, “It ought to be disturbing to all Americans that the head of the CIA and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs were reportedly conspiring against the President of the United States."

“Our new lawsuit will hopefully ferret out the truth about any plots to undermine President Trump by the military and CIA," added Fitton.

Well, she wasn't wrong, was she?

If it were any other president - even Dumbya - I would agree. With this one it was often the only way to avert a disaster.

Given what happened in January 6th, I'd say the CIA's actions against Trump were more than justified. If anything, they didn't do enough to stop it.

Your article talks a lot about the CIA and the Military plotting to undermine then-president Trump, but it conveniently does not mention the plot to undermine the Constitution, and American Democracy, by Trump himself.

Remember, in a democratic republic, there are checks and balances. Trump did not believe in checks and balances. He wanted absolute power and wanted to overturn the results of an election he lost. This is not how a democratic republic works. This is how countries like Haiti, Sudan, and the Congo work.

Please outline all of the ILLEGAL CONDUCT by the duly elected administration to "undermine the Constitution, and American Democracy."

Judicial Watch is a conservative entity focused on promoting conservative values. It has been given a mostly false rating in its reporting by Politifact.

The draft Executive Order to order the military to seize voting machines in key states would seem to fall under the umbrella of "illegal conduct", though I'm quite sure you find a way to rationalize it.

They will rationalize it as they have before when it has been brought up: It was only an idea being floated and nothing was ever done.

But, in law, you can be convicted of criminal conspiracy even if the crime being planned was never carried out.

Thank God there were elements of the U.S. government working to protect the United States from Trump's treason.

Politifact reports equally on both parties as well as independent or non partisan issues...and there are no conservative fact check organizations that I know.

Judicial Watch is clearly partisan ...as you have identified in your response post.

 

[zipman]

She was wrong.

She was proven 100% correct.

The evidence that the 1/6 committee is gathering paints s very clear pivots of an illegal and unconstitutional attempt to overturn a presidential election.

You and your ilk are supporting traitors.

Overall, we rate Politifact Left-Center Biased based on fact checks that tend to be more favorable for the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting and a credible fact-checker that is not without bias.

IOW, "The facts have a liberal bias." No surprise there.

All you need to know about NewsBusters is:

NewsBusters is a wingnut media watch website that styles itself as "Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias." The site is an extension of Brent Bozell III's hate group, Media Research Center.

While an ostensibly admirable goal to keep check on the media (quis custodiet ipsos custodes?[note 1]), it does not so much expose "liberal bias" as try to ram a Republican agenda in all over the place. The site also has a blatant anti-science agenda, often bashing stories on evolution and global warming that don't give time to wingnut creationist or denialist perspectives.

Newsbusters' methods for exposing the media's bias toward liberalism include only reporting instances that they perceive as liberal and copy/pasting from blogs that have actual, clearly stated liberal biases.[1] More recently, they have stated that internet and tech companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Microsoft were out to get them by censoring "free speech," when in reality they are censoring hate speech which they, as private businesses, have every right to hold people accountable for if they feel an obligation to (not to mention most hate speech is spewed by conservatives anyway). Conservatives champion the rights of businesses except where it affects them, as usual.

In 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic ravaged the entire world, the MRC absolved Trump of any blame and decided to blame China for not containing the virus; never mind that doing so causes increasing stigmatization and violence against Asian-Americans, no matter how much conservatives deny it.

Worse, they're in deep denial about it.

This from people who spent 4 years trying to overturn the 2016 election.

 

[pecksniff]

To seek to impeach a president is not to try to overturn an election. Overturning the election would have meant installing Clinton as president, which was never considered as a possibility.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Not even you believe this.

 

[Lazaran]

Not even you believe this.

The Deplorables think exposing Russian interference and the orange traitor's solicitation of that interference equates to "trying to overturn the 2016 election".

That ^ and trying to hold the orange traitor accountable for numerous transgressions while in office.

The legal system is just doing what it would and should do to any criminal who commits fraud on the scale of what the orange traitor did.

Not to mention the sexual assault accusations that rapey Le' Orange admitted to on tape.

It' isn't surprising that the Deplorables have chosen that orange pile of shit as their hill to die on.

They're the same quality of subhuman scum as their orange idol.

SAD!!!

He'll never be prosecuted for that.

It will be good to see all the info that would make them say t was plotting a coup. I think, this might backfire on this group promoting t...
Additionally, wow, how weird is it that concerns a leader is plotting a coup, by the people best identified to worry if a leader is plotting a coup, is now considered "conspiring."....And the leader WAS plotting a bloodless coup, so this should be enlightening. Fully support transparency. My only wish is that the world was not watching....
