Last year, in response to a FOIA request from the ACLU regarding the Obama Administration’s policy regarding intercepting cell phone text messages, the Justice Department released 15 pages of documents – all of which had been completely redacted by b(7) and b(5) exemptions.
In response, MuckRock’s Michael Morisy requested the processing files for the case, which just came in earlier this week.
