MO fodder for the comedians?
The purpose of the #FreedomOfInformationAct ( #FOIA) is to ensure government transparency AND promote democratic accountability by giving #WeThePeople the legal right to access federal agency records.
Just clarifying the REAL reason for the bureaucratic shuffle dance.

Hagar v FBI: #5thCir affirms summary judgment for #FBI on #FOIA claim by criminal defendant: copying data into separate document was creation of new document & not required under FOIA #appellatesky #lawsky baffc.net/40UGc6a
DHS forgot to apply the redactions in this doc released to @weareoversight.bsky.social via #FOIA
