CapitolFax.com: This just in… BGA to file FOIA suit over federal subpoenas

  • Limerick · 2 years ago
    Since the Gov. has legitimate fears
    He will rely on a lawsuit’s slow gears.
    It will take loads of fun
    To see document one.
    We'll check back in about two years.

    Limerick, lovin' the gimmick.

    A governor transparent
    Is not now apparent.
    Here's another 4 years FOIA.

    The most relevant rhyme
    Should discuss who's to do time
    The answer's soon coming
    Someone's to be bumming

    To keep from a trip
    Perhaps they did flip
    And told what they knew
    Thereby turning the screw

    The circle it tightens
    The targets they frighten
    For the coming months herald
    A real busy Fitzgerald

    Wish I could sign my name to that one

    The Freedom of Information Act is quite a bit more complex than the opening paragraph.

    Of course it is, but there's nothing to hide behind on this one. Zip. Nada. Zilch.

    Howard Feldman and Don Craven are representing the BGA on this one. My money is on Don Craven. He's like a junkyard dog when it comes to going after any form of government. AND HE WINS!!

    In my opinion, to divulge this type of information would violate the exception for private personnel info..It could also be construed as interferring with ongoing federal investigationS. Finally, it is possible that no such records exist.The state is therefore under no obligation to compile them. If this is all a matter of public record as some, including the AG, have opined, then let the USA divulge whatever info he feels is appropriate. The state is under no obligation to do so.
    So don't get your hopes up, Little e!
    Oh, and, HAPPY NEW YEAR.

    Just love "The Limerick" - he/she's great. This is my first...apologies all around. Most fun I've had since the disastrous gubernatorial election!

    I got Feb. 19th in the pool for another Fitzmas.

    As far as the FOIAs it looks like a pretty open-and-shut case if Lisa isn't going to take the Governor's side. And she most definitely does NOT. Much may depend on which judge gets to hear this one - it could be all over for Lionel Hutz and the rest of the crack Blago legal squad in a hurry.

    Now that there's no fear of tampering with an election, the feds will probably take the gloves off, I reckon. With all the time his folk spend in front of judges, maybe they can get frequent flyer miles or something.

    Bill, check the Fax tomorrow. Y'all are in for a big disappointment.
  • OneMan · 2 years ago
    Ummm Bill, if the 'records don't exist' don't you think they would have pointed that out?

    Let's close this one out and move to the new and updated post on the subject. Thanks.
