BREAKING REPORT : Obama Spent $36M Fighting to Keep His Federal Records Secret
This is unbelievable. Obama spent $36 million fighting the release of records that SHOULD be available via the Freedom of Information act.
What is he hiding? We have more than a few ideas.
This, along with the likely illegal surveillance of Trump associates is more than enough reason for a thorough investigation of the former President Obama.
From TheHill
The Obama administration in its final year in office spent a record $36.2 million on legal costs defending its refusal to turn over federal records under the Freedom of Information Act, according to an Associated Press analysis of new U.S. data that also showed poor performance in other categories measuring transparency in government.
For a second consecutive year, the Obama administration set a record for times federal employees told citizens, journalists and others that despite searching they couldn’t find a single page of files that were requested.
And it set records for outright denial of access to files, refusing to quickly consider requests described as especially newsworthy, and forcing people to pay for records who had asked the government to waive search and copy fees.
The government acknowledged when challenged that it had been wrong to initially refuse to turn over all or parts of records in more than one-third of such cases, the highest rate in at least six years.
In courtrooms, the number of lawsuits filed by news organizations under the Freedom of Information Act surged during the past four years, led by the New York Times, Center for Public Integrity and The Associated Press, according to a litigation study by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. The AP on Monday settled its 2015 lawsuit against the State Department for files about Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state, at AP’s request, and received $150,546 from the department to cover part of its legal fees.
Since President Trump has – among other powers – the ability to classify and/or de-classify DOCUMENTS, many would be greatly interested in finding the TRUTH behind Obama’s extraordinary efforts to keep details of his early life SECRET
It’s obvious that Obama went through great lengths and financial resources to hide a lot of things from his pre-president days. That’s why Barack invested so much into helping Hillary win the election to keep all his secrets hidden away. I know Trump is dealing with a hundred other things right now, but would love to see him get around to opening up inquiries into all these files (if Obama didn’t have them all destroyed before he left office)
he hiding that the fact is he an illuminati puppet for the new world order, and he was not born in the USA
I think most of us already know that….those of us who read Truthfeed, et. al. BO can’t continue to keep his secrets in this new age of the Internet and the Trump presidency. In the fullness of time all will be revealed…..another advantage (of the many) for having Trump as president.
He should not be allowed to hide federal business. The asshole should have to reveal. And after he reveals he should be locked up for the rest of his muslim life.
