To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any and all records related to open and closed investigations on the following congresswomen:
Rashida Tlaib
Ilhan Omar
Ayanna Pressley
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Any documents sufficient to show the number of threats understood by or investigated by the FBI to these Congresswomen. A sworn statement by a special agent of the FBI describes how the FBI coordinates investigations with the Capitol Police's "Threat Assessment Sections". (Probably Cause, Number 5 https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5797407-12914518717.html)
If available, the nature of the threats investigated by the FBI (ie the context of threats investigated by the FBI) in coordination with the Capitol Police. We know that these documents exist as there are news stories about the threats leading to arrests by the FBI (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/new-york-man-charged-with-threatening-to-kill-rep-ilhan-omar/2019/04/06/5bcc05a4-5890-11e9-814f-e2f46684196e_story.html?utm_term=.b3a9044945fe).
These documents are being made by a journalist as a member of the media and therefore I request a fee waiver for any fees.
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 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Freddy Martinez

I am writing to appeal this denial under FOIA. My FOIA request did not ask the FBI for questions but asked for "documents sufficient to show the number of threats understood by or investigated by the FBI to these Congresswomen". I even stated where the FBI should search the records and how they are investigated. I am not asking for the FBI to provide me a number as an inquiry but to compile the open and closed reports investigated by the FBI and provide me a copy of those reports.

FOIA Officer,
The DOJ's OIP has already ruled on my appealed, ruled in my favor, and remanded it to the FBI for processing. Is your office aware that it has already been instructed to conduct an additional search for records?

FOIA Offices,
I am following up with this request that was previously remanded to your office. Does your office have an estimated time to completion for my records? The relevant processing numbers should be"NFP-106156, DOJ-AP-2019-004303, 1443865-000"

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the status of your Freedom of Information Act/Privacy (FOIPA) request. A review of your request has determined the following:
The request is presently in Initial Processing, where the assigned analyst is searching for, retrieving and reviewing potentially responsive records.
Requests are processed in the order in which they are received through our multi-track processing system. Requests are divided into two primary tracks--simple (under 50 pages of potentially responsive documents) and complex (over 50 pages of potentially responsive documents). Complex requests are further divided into medium, large, and extra-large sub-tracks based upon request size. Simple track requests typically require the least amount of time to process. Currently, simple track cases average approximately 115 days from the date of receipt for processing. Our complex requests in the medium processing track are currently averaging 653 days, large processing track are currently averaging approximately 1,432 days, and extra-large processing track are currently averaging 2,008 days for processing.
The search for responsive records is ongoing for your request, so we do not yet know into which track it will fall. The estimated date of completion is therefore based on the average processing time of complex requests in the large processing track. Accordingly, the estimated date on which the FBI will complete action on your request is 1,432 days from the date the FBI opened your request. Once the search has been completed, you may request an estimated date of completion.
Additional information regarding the Freedom of Information Act/Privacy is available at http://www.fbi.gov/ or http://www.fbi.gov/foia/. If you require additional assistance please contact foipaquestions@fbi.gov.
Please check the status of your request online at http://vault.fbi.gov by clicking on the "Check Status of Your FOI/PA Request" link. Status updates are performed on a weekly basis.

A no responsive documents response.
From: Freddy Martinez
OIP,
Please open an administrative appeal for the processing of this request. These documents are well know to be connected to a number of arrests, as announced by the FBI, and yet the FOIA office maintains there are no responsive records. This is contradicted by their own press releases, sworn affidavits and other supporting documentation. I am appealing the adequacy of a search by the FBI in this manner.
Respectfully,
Freddy Martinez
