On July 28, 2011:

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I
seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a
threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a
limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages
which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via
Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because
there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are
public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of
twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional
records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the
records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jason Smathers

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request
the following records:

All records of twitter messages which the USSS considers to be a threat

On July 28, 2011:

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I
seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a
threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a
limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages
which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via
Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because
there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are
public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of
twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional
records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the
records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

On July 28, 2011:

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I
seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a
threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a
limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages
which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via
Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because
there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are
public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of
twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional
records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the
records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jason Smathers

On July 28, 2011:

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I
seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a
threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a
limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages
which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via
Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because
there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are
public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of
twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional
records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the
records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jason Smathers

On July 28, 2011:

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I
seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a
threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a
limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages
which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via
Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because
there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are
public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of
twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional
records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the
records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jason Smathers

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jason Smathers

On July 28, 2011:

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I
seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a
threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a
limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages
which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via
Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because
there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are
public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of
twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional
records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the
records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jason Smathers

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I
seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a
threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a
limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages
which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via
Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because
there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are
public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of
twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional
records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the
records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jason Smathers

public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of
twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional
records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the
records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

On July 28, 2011:

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I
seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a
threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a
limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages
which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via
Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because
there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are
public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of

On July 28, 2011:

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I
seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a
threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a
limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages
which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via
Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because
there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are
public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication
whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of
twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional
records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the
records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

Jason Smathers

On July 28, 2011:

I appeal.

The USSS Twitter page consists of messages composed by the USSS. Instead, I seek messages sent by other twitter users which the USSS deemed to be a threat to the POTUS.

Although most twitter messages are public, some are sent privately or to a limited group. Furthermore, no compilation or index of twitter messages which were considered to be a threat to the POTUS exists publicly.

In June of 2011, Twitter announced that 200,000,000 messages are sent via Twitter every day. You cannot tell me the information is public because there are billions of individual twitter messages or "tweets" that are public and these public versions available from Twitter have no indication whether or not the USSS deemed them to be a threat or not.

However, it is reasonable to assume that the USSS does make a copy of twitter message which are deemed to be a threat. Furthermore, additional records are surely generated as a result of that threat. These are the records I am seeking. Please provide them to me.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jason Smathers
