The Department of Homeland Security will release Mar-a-Lago visitor records as part of an ongoing lawsuit from three watchdog groups.

In a statement on its website, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) said it would make the records public “upon receiving them by September 8th.”

On April 10, CREW, the National Security Archive and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University sued the Department of Homeland Security for visitor records to the White House, Trump Tower and President Donald Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago resort, which frequently hosts official business including diplomatic visits by foreign leaders.

The suit, filed in the Southern District of New York, cited multiple Freedom of Information Act requests that it alleged had been ignored by the Secret Service.

1. Doesn't Mar-A-Lago close in the summer?

They do't have any visitors now, if they're closed. That's why Trump is going to his golf course in New Jersey.

But it would be nice to see who was visiting Mar-A-Lago about 6 or 7 months ago, when they thought nobody was looking.

3. It's for logs prior to the closure.

7. It needs to stay closed.

2. Here - I will say it - reallY?? They lie - what makes us think

those who visited marashithole, or anywhere else, even signed in...great attempt at transparency however...KUDOs to CREW...

4. My thoughts also.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

5. Ditto!

6. You beat me to this.

I won't trust their logs anymore than I'd trust anything at all done by Hair Furor or any of his Russia first family or representatives.

8. Agree but what might happen

is that media (and/or these orgs) probably already know about a number of folks who did go there during the period and if those names are omitted, then it becomes a gotcha, and keeps the cloud over them regarding subterfuge and coverups.

9. Good catch..so many clouds over the WH -

I so wish the SS would leak pics.....like a pen in the pocket or a ring on hand...saved for the right time...wouldn't that be GREAT!

Where is 007 when you need 'I'm...

10. Well we did see this pic

during a N. Korea missile launch while Japanese PM Abe was there, and I expect there are plenty of similar ones during critical events.

[asiliveandbreathe]

11. Yup! - One of many hopefully -

The Obama search light is on my computer wall - love it!!

[BumRushDaShow]

15. We need our caped Obama to swoop in and save us!

17. Could get lucky

No one thought Jr. would lie about a meeting, release the email chain for no reason showing he lied, then lie about it again. Trump surounds himself with so many idiots that you never know what will turn up.

13. Mar-A-Drago? ("I must break you!") LOL.

Only in this version, Rocky takes a fall.

14. K&R

ANY lawsuit won against the Orange Antichrist is a good thing, if only because it'll make him mad.
