The Best Documents That Didn't Make It to FOIA Files -- Until Now
This week, FOIA Files is ending the year on a lighter note and highlighting records buried in stacks of newsworthy releases that are too good to ignore.
It’s the last edition of FOIA Files this year! Thank you to everyone who has subscribed, shared and helped make this weekly newsletter a success. It’s been an amazing first year, despite the fact that government agencies have tried to wear me down by throwing roadblocks in my way. But I’m well aware that obtaining documents via FOIA is a battle so I was prepared. This week, we’re going out on a lighter note and highlighting the Deep Cuts—the redacted, the obscure and the overlooked records buried in stacks of newsworthy releases that are so good they could have been hit singles! As always, if you’re not already getting FOIA Files in your inbox, sign up here.
Since I launched FOIA Files nine months ago, I’ve liberated more than 6,000 pages of documents on a wide-range of issues and shared them with the public. (If you missed any of the previous 35 editions you can find them here.)
