FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT
INTRODUCTION
1. This is an action under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) seeking the release of Dr. Bradley Foerster’s FBI file which Dr. Foerster has recently discovered is a secret FBI 500+ page investigation regarding Russia-Gate, arguably the biggest political story in recent modern history. Bradley Foerster had filed a similar complaint against the Department of Justice in 2022 which was dismissed without prejudice (Case No. 1:23-cv-01871).
2. In July – August 2016, Paul Cronin informed Dr. Bradley Foerster (then tenured physician faculty at the University of Michigan) and Ms. Duaa Altaee (then research coordinator at the University of Michigan) of a Russian Scheme to subvert the 2016 U.S. Presidential election in Donald Trump’s favor as Russia had Kompromat on Trump including a sex tape. Paul Cronin’s statements pre-dated the Steele Dossier by several months.
3. In a page straight out of The Americans, Paul Cronin also said that he was not trained as a physician (Paul Cronin immigrated from Ireland) and said that his false physician credentials provided near perfect cover to operate as a spy. Despite Paul Cronin’s CV stating that he practiced as a physician in Ireland, the Ireland Medical Council has no record of Paul Cronin (Exhibit A).
4. In early 2018, Bradley Foerster and his wife Dr. Myria Petrou wrote Special Counsel Robert Mueller and U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about what Paul Cronin had said about the 2016 U.S. Presidential election but received no reply.
5. Instead, the Ann Arbor Observer published four defamatory articles about Bradley Foerster and Myria Petrou (which remain online to date despite the Observer editor being unable to tell a federal judge how the online articles serve the public interest) ridiculing Bradley Foerster and Myria Petrou about the letters to Special Counsel Robert Mueller and U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
6. In September 2018, Bradley Foerster filed a federal lawsuit (Case No. 2:18-cv-07672) against Paul Cronin regarding Paul Cronin’s statements regarding the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. As part of the lawsuit, Bradley Foerster executed an affidavit swearing to and documenting what Paul Cronin had told Dr. Foerster about the 2016 U.S. Presidential election (Exhibit B). Bradley Foerster dismissed the case with Paul Cronin saying he would come forward as witness, but Paul Cronin never did.
7. In November 2018, Bradley Foerster wrote the University of Michigan about what Paul Cronin had said about the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election and asked for the University of Michigan to help facilitate the safe release of the recordings of Paul Cronin’s statements (Exhibit C). In response, the University of Michigan went to extreme lengths and spent nearly $1M on outside attorneys to claim Dr. Foerster was non-credible.
8. In November 2020, Bradley Foerster and Myria Petrou wrote U.S. Attorney General Barr and Special Counsel Durham about what Paul Cronin had said about the 2016 U.S. Presidential election but never heard back (Exhibit D).
