A-2023-00702_Appeal Response
From: William Fernandes
Following up on my lack of enforcement complaints.
On this one, it appears the agencies don't want to attempt to use the redaction features.
These findings would be splayed out in like 5 different offices including the brief's to the Senate/House etc...so I really don't understand the usefulness of trying to hide them from the public as now time has come to mandatory declassication review on them.
And employees who are threats to the State should of been terminated 5 years ago.

Same issues. DOJ OIP will not govern DOJ JMD into releasing the findings of Insider Threat complaints to the public. These were threats back in 2018-2019. I feel these agencies need to be defunded if these GIS staff are going to steal salaries over 100K and not release the documents. Please contact OIP and get these released.
