As reported by the Times, the FBI denied my FOIA request for records related to the Clinton email investigation because it decided â and Iâm not making this up â that the email scandal is not a matter of public interest. Actually, the FBI first told me that back on August 8, 2017, so I sent them a response on August 12, 2017:
Frankly, I am stunned that I should have to explain why my request pertains to a matter of public interest. At the time of the perjury referral, Mrs. Clinton was the Democratic nominee for President of the United States, a former U.S. Secretary of State, and a former U.S. Senator. As one would expect, the referral made national news.
I have enclosed a copy of a July 11, 2017 Washington Post article titled âCongressmen ask U.S. Attorneyâs Office to investigate Clinton for perjury.â One need only Google Chaffetz+referral+Clinton and a string of articles appears. Clearly, my request pertains to a matter of public interest.
As I wrote at the time, I seriously considered writing that letter in crayon. In retrospect, I should have. This morning I received a letter from the same FBI flunky informing me that the feds still did not consider it a matter of public interest. I wonder how much practice it took to get that stupid.
Meanwhile, Hillaryâs hordes are calling me names and gloating because they think that I have been defeated and that evidence of Hillaryâs guilt will never see the light of day. Obviously they donât know me very well.
