Obama-Related Shadowy Liberal Group Began Investigating Trump/Ukraine Months Before the ‘Whistleblower’ Complaint

Breitbart-

Months before a whistleblower complaint that would spark the Democrat effort for impeachment, a shadowy liberal group founded and staffed by Obama administration alums and former Democrat congressional staffers launched an outside investigation into whether President Trump’s allies were seeking “foreign interference” from Ukraine in the 2020 elections.

The group, American Oversight, began investigating the issue in May — more than two months before the “whistleblower” filed a complaint alleging Trump was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country to investigate one of the President’s main domestic political rivals.”

The group’s purpose is to file Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits requesting official documents from the administration that could be used to bolster Democrat congressional investigations, and its actions on Ukraine show Congress began looking for Ukraine-related dirt on the administration before the “whistleblower” filed his complaint that catalyzed impeachment.

American Oversight claims to be the top “Freedom of Information Act litigator investigating the Trump administration.”

In anticipation of Democrats winning back the House in 2018, it launched a “Parallel Investigations Initiative” in April to reinforce congressional investigations of the Trump administration. It said in a statement:

Today, American Oversight announces the Parallel Investigations Initiative to lay the groundwork for this potential surge in congressional oversight activity. We have begun proactively tracking oversight requests made by both the chairs and ranking members of key congressional committees and, in many cases, we’ve already submitted parallel FOIA requests for the same information.

The Trump administration won’t know what hit them. Independent FOIA litigation paired with aggressive congressional oversight creates a nightmare for federal agencies because of the different levers litigants and members of Congress can pull to enforce their demands.

The group was founded in March 2017 by Austin Evers, a former senior counsel during the Obama State Department, to counter the Trump administration using FOIA. more here

  1. Okay, so is anyone else here fed up with the Democrat Party, Inc. (it is a private company, you know) using taxpayer dollars to fund the FOIA responses and gov’t paid resources, including all the court costs to wage lawfare against this duly elected president? No, the DNC isn’t doing the ask, but they are the beneficiaries. oblowme and the deep staters better knock this shit off.

  2. “The group, American Oversight, began investigating the issue in May…”

    …about the same time Biden formally declared, and just a couple of weeks later, somebody—maybe from American Oversight—had George Stephanopoulos ask Trump if he would accept dirt from foreign countries on his political opponents. Which was sort of an off-the-wall question at that time.

    But of course this is all coincidental, like the Lynch/Clinton tarmac meeting.

  3. And Hillary woke up this morning hating America because we rejected her. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi woke up together and shuddered at their grotesqueness.

    These insignificant pissants are going to go full batshit crazy on 11/4. I can’t wait.

    11/3
    Wait and see
    A second Trump
    Victory.
