an EPA lawyer just called me to ask me to call off a FOIA request i made in 2017 (!) that was never honored. it was about a smear campaign the EPA conducted about an AP reporter during Hurricane Harvey. they may be "drowning" in the backlog but im not calling it off
they may be inundated by a reckless administration's stonewalling but the solution is not to cajole people into dropping their FOIA requests
i wanted all internal correspondence about this scandal. and i still do!! the trump era doesn't just get to be memory holed google.com/amp/s/www.wash…
I mean he expressly asked me if I wss still interested *because* they are quote unquote "drowning" in backlog. That seems like expressing a desire for me to, you know, call off my FOIA. No dice Chris! Copy anyone you like. 
my response
multiple EPA employees are letting me know they just got a big email asking staff to contribute "innovative ideas to improve FOIA processing" lol.
also 2017 may have been technically prior to his full employment at EPA but he was answering FOIA requests in 2016 so...
