Here is the FBI's response to a FOIA request for records pertaining to the National Aquarium in Baltimore.
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.
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.
That's some top-shelf service.
