Vivek Ramaswamy Sues DOJ, Requests Trump Jan. 6 Indictment Details

[Lastamender]

This guy is making waves. He has got to be a target for our corrupt government. They might bite off more than they can chew. This guy is smart.

"Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has sued the Department of Justice (DOJ) for allegedly failing to respond to his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request regarding the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.

Mr. Ramaswamy announced the lawsuit, filed in district court in Columbia on Aug. 1, in a statement on Twitter, now known as X.

The GOP 2024 presidential candidate accused the DOJ of having failed to “substantively respond” to his FOIA request to “uncover what White House officials, including President Joe Biden, communicated to [Attorney General] Merrick Garland and [special counsel] Jack Smith about the unprecedented indictment in the classified documents case of a former U.S. President and one of Biden’s political opponents in the 2024" Presidential election.”

Mr. Ramaswamy, in his lengthy post on X, claimed the indictment against Mr. Trump was based on “unprecedented legal theory” citing the U.S. Supreme Court case U.S. v. Alvarez, which held that political candidates even have a First Amendment right to make inaccurate statements knowingly.

“If you’re going to indict a former president and leading presidential candidate, it better not be based on unprecedented legal theory,” he said. “Further, it’s more than a stretch to call something criminal if someone is seeking legal counsel from their own lawyers.”

Same link as OP.

FOIA request do not apply to on going investigations

I have to admit ignorance here, law it not something I study, nor do I watch TEE VEE shows about it.

It was my understanding, that the justice system does not lodge indictments until AFTER an investigation was done, and the evidence was gathered. . . do you care to explain this to me, since, it seems you have a better understanding of this. . .

Oh fun...another thread to bookmark and keep bringing back to ask you how things are going. Another explosive 3 - 4 weeks?

There are 9 exemptions, my challenge to you was to name which exemption you referred to. Now I have exposed the fact, that your comment was nothing more than opinion.

 

[d0gbreath]

The classified docs case was always just a place holder, that allowed for more time to sentence J6 participants.
Donald is going down, but not for that one. Bait and switching on the ignorant is just so easy.

I should have said an "active case" not just the investigation part.

Do we really want Law Enforcement releasing information prior to the case being concluded?

Exemption Seven: Certain types of information compiled for law enforcement purposes.

He really wants to be Trump's VP pick.

Too bad they'll toss this one in like 90 seconds...if that.

When we are in the process of indicting someone over a political opinion? Why bring that up? It is my right and Trump's right to say the 2020 election was stolen. This is the last desperate attempt to cover up the obvious theft. It is not going to work. But you know that already.
