Hopefully most of you know that Magoo issued an executive order requiring every agency to develop a plan to get out the Dems vote. He’s essentially using our money to replace the Zuckerberg bucks from the last election that many states have banned. The agencies were supposed to present their plans recently but no one can get them. DOJ has refused to turn them over under the FOIA claiming they are exempt under the deliberative process exemption (b5) but that’s total bs. I am an expert on the FOIA and actually created a rule that was subsequently adopted across the board that drafts couldn’t be released only the final document or the final draft if there was no final document because if you could get every draft and see what changed you could see the deliberative process.
DOJ is claiming that the final document is exempt under this exemption. That is total and complete bullshit, contrary to the basic purpose of the FOIA, and they know it. They are banking on the fact that an appeal won’t be decided until after the election.
Republicans please win and hold all these idiots accountable.
