We aren’t the only ones trying to get to the bottom of this. Two senators want to dig deeper into the staffer who was managing the server.

POGO – FOIA Fee Waivers Protected
The US Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with Cause of Action, confirming that federal agencies cannot use fees to prevent releasing documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act. It was decided by the court that the only requirement for FOIA requests concerning the requester’s use of the documents is that they must “enlighten more than just the individual requester.” This is great news for anyone who wants to see a more transparent federal government.
