une 30, 2016 Today, as we approach the 50th anniversary of the Freedom of Information Act, President Obama has signed into law the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016.
In our democracy, the FOIA serves as a vital tool to keep citizens informed about the operations of their government. Since its enactment in 1966, the FOIA has been amended on a number of occasions to adapt to the times and changing priorities. The FOIA Improvement Act of 2016 contains several substantive and procedural amendments to the FOIA, as well as new reporting requirements for agencies.
In order to assist agencies in understanding all of the new changes to the FOIA, OIP has added two new resources to its website today. First, agencies and the public can find a detailed summary of all of the changes to the law on the "FOIA Resources" pages of our site. Additionally, OIP is making available a redline version of the FOIA which outlines each of the changes within the law.
In the upcoming months, OIP will be issuing guidance to agencies on the implementation of the various new provisions of the law. Announcements will be made on FOIA Post as new guidance is released. Agencies are encouraged to contact OIP's FOIA Counselor Service with any questions they may have on implementation of these new statutory provisions.

So can we have Hillary’s emails before a couple of years from now?
Can we have Lois Lerner’s hard drives?
(No, I thought not.)
More laws for Hillary to break, oh goody. Let’s hope she stays out of gubmint so she doesn’t have a chance.
Yet the very day, the impostor Indonesian Islamic pRes_ _ent
had his DO”J” STOP FOIA about Hillary the Murderer
who is protected by the FB”I” pursuant the exparte
meeting with the ImPOTUS and quid pro quo with al Qaeda.
oh, he didn’t mention that the only info released will be “conservative” information....
Spawn of satan obutthole signs the “I am not the anti-Christ act” and pardons Drooling Evil....
So basically, all personnel, to include intelligence personnel, will be tied up responding to FOIA requests (as it its already) by persons that want to write a book, or a foreign intelligence entity that wants to get the US government to do the research for them.
FOIA doesn't work if you don't have ethical people in the first place. A new law isn't going to fix it.
...So can we have Hillary’s emails before a couple of years from now?...
As of today, 27 months for the Clinton Crime Syndicate Family Foundation.
You know darn well Obama had trouble holding back his laughter as he put his signature on this one.
“Yet the very day, the impostor Indonesian Islamic pRes_ _ent
had his DO”J” STOP FOIA about Hillary the Murderer
who is protected by the FB”I” pursuant the exparte
meeting with the ImPOTUS and quid pro quo with al Qaeda.”
He is invoking his own private interpretation of what “improvement” means.
Politicians and the Clintons are excluded
The LAST thing Obama and the Uniparty want is true transparency.
So, let’s see:
2016: we have the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Improvement Act of 2016
2018: it will be the Freedom of Information Act Improvement Act (FOIAIA) Enhancement Act of 2018.
2020: it will be the Freedom of Information Act Improvement Act Enhancement Act (FOIAIAEA) Refinement Act of 2020.
2020: it becomes the Freedom of Information Act Improvement Act Enhancement Act Refinement Act (FOIAIAEARA) Amelioration Act of 2022.
2022: it becomes the Freedom of Information Act Improvement Act Enhancement Act Refinement Act Amelioration Act (FOIAIAEARAAA) ........ and so on.
Just having some fun. No dangerous objects involved.
You are very clever.
:-)

Obammie is such a POS he has done EVERYTHING possible to avoid turning over documents NOW that a Trump POTUS is right around the corner he INTENDS to IMPROVE THE LAW!!!! HOW CONVENIENT !!!! GO AHEAD you POS because a POTUS Trump will NEVER be as corrupt as you are, YOU BASTARD!!!!
LOL. There must be an exception where if a FOIA request would impede the progressive agenda, it may be ignored until everyone who would be damaged is dead.
