We’ll see......having Bammy as a friend is pretty powerful.
I know what you're saying. However, intimidation is part of Obama's schtick. It'll take some pressure by strong-willed citizens to get the audio/video released if they come under the state Freedom of Information Act, or Sunshine Law as it's referred to in some states.
It can be done. I've seen public officials buckle like a cheap suit when they're threatened with action under sunshine laws.
Having State law or statutes as a friend is pretty powerful, too.....to paraphrase the sentence leading off this post.
