Newly-released Fast and Furious documents (…still keeping government secrets)August 22, 2019 by Sharyl Attkisson Fast and Furious docs still REDACTED after all these years Today, I received several pages of documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal where the Obama Administration secretly facilitated the delivery of assault rifles and other weapons to Mexican drug cartels. Attkisson’s Fast and Furious story links I requested the documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) back in 2013. This response took almost six years, even though– under FOI law– it was due in 30 days. Obviously, the way the federal government complies with FOI law (or, more accurately, fails to comply), it becomes impossible for journalists to receive publicly-owned documents to use in relevant news stories. sharylattkisson.com/2019/08/newly-released-fast-and-furious-documents-still-keeping-government-secrets/
