🏛️ What don't they want you to see? DOJ scrubbed Jan. 6 case pages from its website. CREW says it may violate federal records law. Archives still have the records. Here's how to find them 👉🏿 https://shorturl.at/ZFY20 #Jan6 #DOJ #FOIA #Accountability #FederalRecordsAct #Politics ⚖️🔍
I’ve gotten four or five emails telling me there are no responsive records for two FBI #FOIA requests (Telecomix and the klez worm) I made over the last few days, makes me wonder if the eFOIA portal is on the fritz again.

Thank you, #DisruptionLabBerlin for this interview on Julian #Assange and #WikiLeaks for your great conference #ExposingCrimesIsNOTACrime!

I am still fighting my trench warfare through #FOIA litigation in #US to unearth the truth!

When making FOI requests, there are certain red flags to watch for:

Charges for redaction, vague refusals, no schedule of records. Remember, the public body is supposed to help you.

I'm filing a bunch of Air Force #FOIA requests as I've had enough of waiting on the FBI. From what I can tell if you are researching hacking in the 90s you want to look for records involving Air Force Office of Special Investigations and Kelly Air Force base, see clipping from article below.
