It’s about records.
So if you do have a question, you first have to figure out what records will answer it.

This is the pattern. Bulgarian courts have ruled against the prosecutorial office repeatedly for #FOIA violations.
Lower administrative courts have begun holding that prosecutorial investigation acts ARE public information - a line the prosecutorial office has fought hard to reverse.

Last fall,my #FOIA lawyers in the U.S. notified me that the #USStateDept would release me 21 pages of the X millions in its possession. But then the #USDepartmentOfTheArmy (one of the depts of the #USDepartmentOfWar) stepped in and stopped their release: #NationalSecurity

Since 2015 (11 years now!), I've been fighting a trench warfare to obtain the full documentation on Julian #Assange and the @wikileaks journalists from 4 governments: #US,#UK, #Australia and #Sweden, through #FOIA litigation. Docs like this:

nell'autunno scorso, le mie avvocate #FOIA USA mi comunicano che #DipartimentoDiStatoUSA mi consegnerà almeno 21 pagine sui X milioni in suo possesso. Ma arriva #USDepartmentOfTheArmy del #Pentagono e si oppone: #sicurezzaNazionale

over the last 11 years of my #FOIA trench warfare to obtain the full docs on #JA and #WikiLeaks held by the US, UK, Sweden and Australia, I have never been released a single line of correspondence between #US-#UK on #JA and #WikiLeaks:
what monstrous truths do they want to hide? -

Just last night,my US #FOIA lawyers informed me of the latest developments in our litigation against #USStateDept -
ebbene in 11 anni di guerra di trincea con il #FOIA nelle corti americane, inglesi, svedesi,australiane, MAI sono riuscita a ottenere una riga delle corrispondenze USA-UK sul caso Julian #Assange e #WikiLeaks: cosa devono nascondere?

da 11 anni combatto una guerra di trincea con #FOIA per avere accesso ai documenti sul caso Julian #Assange e #WikiLeaks in mano ai governi USA,UK, Svezia,Australia. Proprio stanotte le mie avvocate USA mi hanno informato degli aggiornamenti

True Signal Media is building an investigative newsroom that doesn't depend on access to power.
We file systematic FOIA requests across agencies. We track institutional failures. We publish what officials claim doesn't exist.
500 Founding Member slots now open. Locked rates forever. Early access. Real input on priorities.
Accountability journalism that answers to readers—not institutions.

è curioso che quando le parlamentari #StefaniaAscari e #DanielaMorfino hanno chiesto al governo #Meloni quanti cittadini italiani erano nell'#IDF durante #genocidioGaza, il governo non lo sapeva, mentre un #FOIA l'ha rivelato, come vi ricostruiamo oggi:

“The stark images of the #EastWing demolished in mere days were disturbing to Americans who cherish #preservation of our nation’s #history,” Rep. Michael R. Turner (R-Ohio), co-chair of the congressional #HistoricPreservation Caucus, wrote in an Oct. 24 letter obtained through a #FOIA request….

I've been trying to obtain these documents on Julian #Assange and #WikiLeaks from the US State Department for the last 8 years.
My US #FOIA lawyers and I have left no stone unturned.
The #DIA has finally responded: NO access

ho cercato di avere questi documenti su Julian #Assange e #WikiLeaks per 8 anni, con le mie avvocate #FOIA ci siamo battuti in ogni modo e continuiamo a farlo. La #DIA ci ha finalmente risposto: nessun accesso

a proposito di #LicioGelli,ricordate che abbiamo in ballo un ricorso #FOIA contro l'#FBI per ottenere tutto il fascicolo #FBI su #LicioGelli?
Ebbene,l'#FBI manco risponde al nostro avvocato #FOIA USA,avvocato di un grande studio legale che ha vinto causa #FOIA per #WashPost

at the #NexaCenter conf. I said:when the #WarOnTerror had produced atrocities, #JA did NOT waste his time in reforming #FOIA to get #CollateralMurder,he pioneered the #WikiLeaks revolution based on #courage and #technology
We must do the same, because we live in even darker times -
a #NexaCenter oggi ho detto:quando #WarOnTerror aveva prodotto feroci atrocità,Julian #Assange non ha perso tempo a riformare #FOIA, ha usato il #coraggio e la #tecnologia per inventare la rivoluzione di #WikiLeaks.
Dobbiamo fare lo stesso, perché situazione oggi ANCORA PIU' GRAVE
