An Associated Press analysis of new U.S. data finds the Obama administration in its final year spent a record $36.2 million on legal costs defending its refusal to turn over federal records under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Obama administration also set a record -- for a second consecutive year -- for times federal employees told citizens, journalists and others that despite searching they couldn't find a single page of files that were requested.

I’d donate as much as I could afford to see this Guy investigated for everything he did the last 8 years including his past and everything he touches in the future.

I agree.

However ..... the silver lining is that people were so disgusted with him that we got Trump.

If 0vomit had been even slightly more reasonable, we might have ended up with Hitlery or some Republican from the Uniparty.

I want the swamp drained. I also want to know EVERYBODY who was in the swamp, who helped fill the swamp, who protected the swamp, etc., etc.

I’m hoping that with Trump in office, they will suddenly find some of those records. I’m also hoping that they will fire a LOT of incompetent employees who were unable to find them during the 0vomit years.
