1/Anomalous Health Incident (AHI) Thread

Today, I received #FOIA response from @FBI as part of lawsuit I am handling for AHI records.

ALL records were withheld as exempt pursuant to 7(A), which pertains to ongoing criminal investigations.

Every..single..responsive..page.

2/Yet, last week Court we told "the FBI has completed its search for potentially responsive records. The FBI still anticipates making its first release of responsive, non-exempt material on August 15, 2022, and on the 15th of every subsequent month until production is complete."

3/Really? What records am I to receive every 15th of month when everything is exempt?

Importantly, there is absolutely no way FBI did not know it was going to invoke #FOIA 7(A) when its statement was made to federal judge days earlier. #Disingenuous

4/I do know FBI was conducting AHI criminal investigation. Clients of mine were interviewed. Whether that investigation still exists or is so encompassing to include all records is issue that can be litigated. I am fine with that.

5/But where are records that pertain to @FBI employees who have been hit by AHI? Where are records pertaining to processes that FBI has put in place for reporting incidents so that personnel can receive medical care? I know docs exist bc I represent FBI victims.

END/It is time for USG to stop covering up what it knows of AHI.

It is time for USG to protect its employees & their families from further harm.

And it is time USG takes care of its employees & their families who were harmed.
