This was from "the most transparent administration in history"

Obama spent a record $36 million fighting information requests

The Obama administration blew a record $36.2 million in taxpayer funds on legal costs in its final year fighting requests for federal records under the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA), according to an analysis by a media outlet unnamed here that is known to freak out and threaten lawsuits when its material appears in other media.

The litigation study was conducted by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

The Rosetta Stone for translating Obonics to English is to take whatever he says and turn it around 180 degrees. Willy Wonka style.

That was 36 million dollars in one year

Obama actually spent over a hunderd million over his eight years in office

This proves that they literally cannot afford to be honest. “By any means necessary” means exactly what it says.
