Blanche also said 200 DOJ attorneys reviewed the files and redacted the documents after the Act was signed into law. But as I reported, based on docs I obtained via #FOIA, the FBI directed 934 agents & other personnel to review & redact the files earlier this year.
The review team consisted of more than 200 Department attorneys working to determine whether materials were responsive under the Act and. if`so, whether redactions or withholding was required. The review had multiple levels. First, 187 attorneys from the Department`s National Security Division (NSD) conducted a review of all items produced to JMD for responsiveness and any redactions under the Act. Second, a quality-control team of 25 attorneys conducted a second-level review to ensure that victim personally identifying information was properly redacted and that materials that should not be redacted were not marked for redaction, The second-level review team consisted of attorneys from the Department's Office of Privacy and Civil Liberties (OPCL) and Office of Information Policy (OIP)--these attorneys are experts in privacy rights and reviewing large volumes of discovery. After the second-level review team completed its quality review, responsive materials were uploaded onto the website for public production as required under the Act. See Sec. 2(a). Finally, Assistant United States Attorneys from the Southern District of New York reviewed the responsive materials to confirm appropriate redactions so that the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York could certify that victim identifying information was appropriately protected.

During Trump’s first term, Cuellar voted to check the president’s power to launch military strikes multiple times — but that was before Cuellar was compromised by Trump’s pardon. Democrats who want to win back voters’ trust should kick Corrupt Cuellar out of the party.

This is a dangerous escalation, and this administration must come before Congress for public hearings and explain to the American people why they are risking pulling us into another forever war. 2/2
