- NEW: Remember when Trump took a trip to Japan back in 2019 and reports surfaced that the WH requested the move the USS John McCain out of view so it wouldn't upset Trump? Well, I #FOIA'd the military for docs about this & 3 yrs later they just arrived "This just makes me sad"

- FYI, this is how SpaceX, a private company, marks their emails in an attempt to have it exempt from the FOIA when they communicate with a govt agency.
There should be no need for FOIA requests. All government data should be default public for maximum transparency. - BREAKING: After a year of legal battles, @BuzzFeedNews news and I and @EPICprivacy have scored a MAJOR #FOIA victory: the Justice Department has unredacted portions of the Mueller report pertaining to Roger Stone and Wikileaks and more. Story to come:

- Pompeo's wife was a "volunteer" at CIA when he was director and she had an office on the 7th floor and a support staff
- I'm glad @BuzzFeedNews and I and CNN spent nearly two years litigating for thousands of FBI interview summaries like this one from the Mueller probe so that the public can read what Rick Gates said Paul Manafort told him way back in 2018. "Sit tight" "we'll be taken care of"
- BREAKING in my/@BuzzFeedNews/@EPICprivacy #FOIA lawsuit to unredact the Mueller report Judge Walton just ordered DOJ to turn over an unredacted copy of Mueller report by March 30 so he can review it to determine what can be further released publicly This is what we hoped for!

- I had filed a #FOIA with EPA for any records of death threats made against Scott Pruitt. EPA said it had zero recorss.While Security spending was somewhat more than his predecessor, Scott Pruitt has received death threats because of his bold actions at EPA. Record clean Air & Water while saving USA Billions of Dollars. Rent was about market rate, travel expenses OK. Scott is doing a great job!
- Replying to @JasonLeopold and @documentcloudWHOA! Hell of an email from NOAA official Craig McLean to NOAA's chief and other top officials: "What concerns me most is that this Administration is eroding the public trust in NOAA for an apparent political recovery from an ill timed and imprecise comment from the President"
