1/ NEW: George W. Bush Library just let me know that it has processed Kavanaugh's material from his time in White House Counsel's Office.

They posted this material last month (and told me just now). Here's the main page:

4/ From what I can tell, this huge release of Kavanaugh material doesn't seem to have been noticed. I'm not seeing any news articles about it (which I can hardly believe -- there must be some, but...).
Hi, everyone! Please follow me for FOIA fun, forcing government transparency, exclusive govdocs, citizen oversight, etc.

I've posted everything the George W. Bush Library sent me about this:

* Cover letter
* List of restrictions/exemptions
* Most important: 3 finding aids for the documents

Hint: Download first, then open w/ Acrobat Reader to see bookmarks for each file.
A lot of material was withheld under FOIA exemptions and Presidential Records Act (PRA) restrictions.

Here are lists that explain them: ImageImage

THREAD / NEW:

Yesterday Florida's governor said FBI told him that 2 counties were hacked during 2016 election season, but he isn't allowed to say which ones.

So I filed public-records requests with the election supervisors in ALL 67 Florida counties.

I'll post results here... Image
As each county election supervisor responds to my request, I'll post their responses to this thread, and to this page on my site:

altgov2.org/fl-county-requ…
BTW if you want to support my adventures in forcing transparency, please help me keep the lights on as I obsessively file loads of FOIA and other public-records requests:

THREAD/ I'm happy to report/humblebrag that my efforts to force transparency have gotten results.

The National Archives is changing a major aspect of its murky, decades-long process of deciding which govt records get destroyed and which get kept permanently.
2/ In Aug 2017, I saw in the Federal Register that ICE was asking NARA (National Archives) for permission to destroy all documents about the deaths & rapes of detainees in ICE custody.

I requested ICE's proposal & posted it, then let some reporters know

thememoryhole2.org/blog/ice-docum…
3/ The story got a lot of attention, especially when the ACLU picked up on it. NARA is currently communicating with ICE about changing its request.

But even though this got attention, it didn't lead to a larger questioning of the entire process.
