Note: FOIA spelled out in full, in original title.
if it wasn’t for the FOIA, Gowdy and the rest of the big talk no action red meat serving “conservatives” would have never let this come to light of day.
I always find it odd that the “hard core” “principled conservatives” are never able to find their voice or their principles until their hand is forced, and FOIA sure is a powerful force.
FOIA: doing what the house and senate were really really really wanting to do (trust me, they really really wanted to get to the bottom of the corruption).
It is good to have a date of this summer, before the convention, when these FIOA depositions are scheduled. It will be interesting to see how that impacts the FBI scheduling of witnesses.
I couldn’t read past the faded introduction, but, based on the title, this seems like a major point. If you receive an FOIA order, it is still illegal to exclude documents, just because you think the government won’t ever find them. If the documents are actually found, that alone, is proof of a criminal act.
" that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them. ""I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL HOSTILITY TO EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN"
