From: Emma North-Best


To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Files relating to or mentioning threats against members of Congress between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2017. This request is reasonably described, as the Bureau has twice previously processed documents under this heading for different years, and those have been posted onto the website at https://vault.fbi.gov/threats-against-members-of-congress.

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,

Emma Best

I am appealing the decision to provide only preprocessed documents in explicit contradiction to the request – "If previously released records are available, then I request a rolling release consisting of those records while additional records are located and processed for release." – while claiming that this was done in order to ensure a rapid response when the response has taken over TWO YEARS. Two years to provide only preprocessed records - and to ignore the explicit terms of the request - is not only a violation of the law, it's just plain stupid.
