@raphjd Hmm. Who at FBI denied this FOIA release, I wonder?
Background. Audrey Hale, Trans mass murderer in 2023.
Story here seems to be:
some at MNPD wanted to be open & transparent about Hale
FBI often is - say, if mass shooter is White male. Rushes out their manifesto
but in Hale's case, for some mysterious magical reason, FBI preferred info suppression. It took a year & many difficulties, for public to get Hale "Tranifesto"
To make MNPD go along, FBI apparently sent rare memos to them
When asked for a copy of the [rarely-seen 2018 advice] memo that the FBIās BAU-1 sent MNPD, the agency said the document āis not searchable in our indices,ā and thus, the FOIA request could not be completed
Did old FBI management destroy info?  as new management came in?
the memo originated within BAU-1, an obscure unit of the FBI that was dramatized on televisionās āCriminal Minds.ā
Does Tennessee Star hint that certain nasty libs at FBI destroyed memo recently to cover it up, and separately, are hooked up with Hollywood libs?
[new] FBI Director Kash Patel previously suggested it was his predecessor, former Director Chris Wray, who stood in the way of the release of both Haleās manifesto and the client list belonging to deceased sex trafficker and financier Jeffrey Epstein...
āThe FBI airmailed into that operation and said this is not getting out,ā said Patel during a December 2023 interview. āAll these local law enforcement agencies get funding from the DOJ and FBI for local programs, and if you donāt cooperate, youāre not getting your million dollars for this. Thatās a lot of money to these local districts. Thatās how they play the game..."
[Tennessee Star] sought an additional update shortly after Patel was confirmed to a 10-year stint as the FBIās director but has yet to receive a response.
