Judge Orders State Department To Provide Withheld Ukraine Documents
Officials had decided on their own not to release records from the period when Donald Trump lifted his freeze on military aid to Ukraine.
A federal judge on Friday ordered the State Department to release documents concerning Ukraine it had previously withheld.
Christopher Cooper, U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Columbia, said the department arbitrarily limited its search for documents it had previously been ordered to release to the period before Aug. 2 — prior to President Donald Trump lifting his freeze on military funds to Ukraine as he pressured the country’s president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
Cooper ruledthat the department had “not adequately justified” why it used the early date, and said its records through Oct. 18 should be released no later than Jan. 8.
Among the documents that were withheld were communication records concerning Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Nonpartisan watchdog American Oversight, which brought the suit, celebrated the ruling.
“Despite the Trump administration’s obstruction of Congress, the paper trail of the Ukraine pressure campaign is continuing to come to light,” Clark Pettig, a spokesman for the group, said in a statement to HuffPost.
“The time period covered by Friday’s court order includes some of the most critical events under scrutiny in the impeachment investigation, including the creation and release of the whistleblower report, and the eventual lifting of the freeze on aid to Ukraine,” he said.

I have to wonder.. seeing as chief justice John Roberts will be the judge in the senate impeachment trial, can he simply disqualify as jurors those such as Graham, McConnell and whoever else for breaking the oath they will be taking?
part of me thinks they're intentionally sabotaging their impartiality to be exempt from voting
It seems like this for sure.
DTB2, not a complete idiot as some pieces are missing.
