Can you be accused of somethingin an FBI report and NOT BE ALLOWED TO SEE IT nor CONTEST IT? Pardon the caps, but I'm completely amazed--I thought we were all allowed to see our own FBI files. How can you defend yourself against something you don't know exists?

Ping for another example.

From the very first paragraph of the DOJ page--

us.doj.gov/04foia:

Like all federal agencies, the Department of Justice (DOJ) generally is required under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to disclose records requested in writing by any person. However, agencies may withhold information pursuant to nine exemptions and three exclusions contained in the statute. The FOIA applies only to federal agencies and does not create a right of access to records held by Congress, the courts, or by state or local government agencies. Each state has its own public access laws that should be consulted for access to state and local records.

Could they mean that Saad doesn't have access to the Congressional file? Would there be a reason that he was somehow exempted from seeing his own file? Something here isn't right.

Excellent example and reason that we need to keep this corrupt party as far away from power as is humanly possible.
