When I had the request submitted, I was sure (at the very least) that someone had complained enough to compel the Bureau into investigating Red Emma's.<br />
<br />
To be fair, my request was submitted shortly before the start of #occupybaltimore an action in which Red Emma's staff have played a key role. Naturally, members of the collective may have their own individual FBI files to which I am not privy. <br />
<br />
Still, how hardcore can you be if lack an FBI file?</div><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Here is the FBI's response to a FOIA request for records pertaining to the National Aquarium in Baltimore.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
<a title="View FBI Letter Regarding Lost National Aquarium Records on Scribd" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/74224014/FBI-Letter-Regarding-Lost-National-Aquarium-Records" style="margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;">FBI Letter Regarding Lost National Aquarium Records</a><iframe class="scribd_iframe_embed" src="http://www.scribd.com/embeds/74224014/content?start_page=1&view_mode=list&access_key=key-1rb2q1g40fcn1f8y63sx" data-auto-height="false" data-aspect-ratio="0.7724399494311" scrolling="no" id="doc_50365" width="600" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In short, the FBI has declared that they had relevant records and lost them. So, after a couple of undoubtedly searches, they are closing out my request. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">That's right. The FBI concedes that they lost investigative records that may contain financial data, information on individuals' criminal backgrounds, roles as informants, and so forth, but rather than locate it, they're simply going to shrug and write off my request. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">That's some top-shelf service.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">FBI claims to have no records on #occupybaltimore. Whether this is to be believed is a decision I leave up to the individual reader. </div></div><br />
