Quote:WASHINGTON — The White House is removing a federal regulation that subjects its Office of Administration to the Freedom of Information Act, making official a policy under Presidents Bush and Obama to reject requests for records to that office.
The White House said the cleanup of FOIA regulations is consistent with court rulings that hold that the office is not subject to the transparency law. The office handles, among other things, White House record-keeping duties like the archiving of e-mails.

Yeah, that's a farce. You don't go about saying you'l have the most transparent admin and then do the exact opposite. Just more marketing folks fell for I guess.
Clinton's used Sandy Berger to shred evidence before They left office, Bush was accused of it, So the Cover ups continue over Emails that I'm sure will be destroyed by the Millions before Obama leaves office unless he finds an Executive decision to remain in office. This is a smoke screen for Both Obama and Hillary. the Democrat adage "Win at Any Cost, Cover Your Ass when done"
Aaaaaand Cankles never signed the form, whatever it's called, that EVERY SINGLE STATE Employee signs declaring that you have turned over ALL letters, correspndence, E-MAILS and anything else that came up during your time in OUR Government service.
Just didn't sign it. Nope not gonna, but you have to. Nope, not me.
Unreal and completely predictable at the same time. Public servant my asss.
Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration set a new record again for more often than ever censoring government files or outright denying access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.
The government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it couldn't find documents, and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy
