Zero Hedge

In its original request, Judicial Watch asked for all documents related to multiple aspects of the government’s activity that is reportedly known as the Internet Covert Operations Program (ICOP), including:

• All records from Jan. 1, 2020, to the present identifying criteria for flagging social media posts as “inflammatory” or otherwise worthy of further scrutiny by other government agencies.
• All records from Jan. 1, 2020, to the present relating to the ICOP database of social media posts.
• All records and communications from Jan. 1, 2020, to the present between any USPS official and any official from the FBI and/or the U.S.  Department of Homeland Security regarding ICOP.
• All social media posts flagged under ICOP and forwarded to other government agencies.
• Any analyses outlining USPS authority to monitor, track, and collect Americans’ social media posts.
• All records concerning justifications for USPS to monitor, track, and collect Americans’ social media posts.
• All records of communication sent to and by Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale from Jan. 1, 2020, to the present concerning ICOP.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement announcing the suit that he wants to know, “Did the Biden administration weaponize the United States Postal Service to improperly spy on Americans?”
