Richard Glazer's review of Michael Giampietro's hiring

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Right to Know Act, I hereby request the following records:

1. Results of Richard Glazer's review of Michael Giampietro's hiring and any records or reporters generated by that review.
2. All DAO communications - including but not limited to incoming and outgoing emails, text messages, voicemails and memos - regarding the hiring of Michael Giampietro
3. AllDAO communications - including but not limited to incoming and outgoing emails, text messages, voicemails and memos - regarding the Allen Robinson trial, Dorothy Johnson-Speight, Harrod E. Clay Jr., Giovanni Campbell or Guy Sciolla, including communications sent or received by Larry Krasner, Arun Prabhakaran, Jody Dodd, Movita Johnson-Harrell, Mark Burgmann, Michael Giampietro, and Benjamin Waxman.
4. All DAO communications - including but not limited to incoming and outgoing emails, text messages, voicemails, and memos - regarding the office's responses to questions from the Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Daily about the Allen Robinson case.

I am a doctoral student at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, where I study the deletion of government records. I request a waiver of fees because disclosure of the requested records is in the public interest. It “is likely to contribute significantly to the public understanding of the activities or operations of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester.” 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(A)(iii). Finally, the records are not primarily in my own commercial interest. I seek the requested information for newsgathering purposes, and expect to incorporate it into journalistic work product to be disseminated to the public, like those already produced. See Muira Mccammon, Trouble @JTFGTMO, SLATE (April 17, 2018), https://slate.com/technology/2018/04/why-did-the-joint-task-force-of-guantanamo-start-deleting-tweets.html.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Muira McCammon
