This week, our DC application seeking materials on the DNC hack attribution was denied as overbroad and a “fishing expedition.” This wasn’t unexpected, although I was hopeful.FOIA Around And Find Out is a reader-supported publication.

Man I appreciate your work. I'm just a random guy in South Texas who ended up seeing your work on Twitter back during the early stages of the Covid mess. I will spare you the details, but what you and the others in the Corner have done for me personally is indescribable. Simply put, you have caused me to think, deeply. I appreciate it. At this point, I don't know what's more frustrating - knowing the truth in a room full of idiots, or accepting that humans are inherently flawed and naturally subject to external manipulation. Our government understands these ideas and exploits them as a matter of course. But for your work and that of the rest of the Corner, I'd probably still be chasing cheese in a Skinner Box. Thanks.
I feel every bit of your frustration. But take heart, please. The times are changing and Americans are beginning to see the DNC for what it is: the north of the border Cartel. Best regards to you, Undead! Keep up the excellent work!
Man, it's journalists like you that make me want to quit my day job and work on things like this. You're one of the muckrakers, and it just goes to show that often the best journalism is committed by people who aren't classically trained by a big league journo school. I've gotten a taste of how you feel by feverishly reading independent investigative journalism and thinking "wow, this is going to rock the news cycle," only for it to be completely ignored. I've reached out to forward pieces I found important to editorial boards at places like the WSJ, and only ever heard back once. Reaching out to independents, though, often yields much better results. We're building something new here and you're a part of it. If this format doesn't get crushed somehow, it's going to lead to a better future. You've got to remember, Substack journalism is still in its infancy as a source of truth for the general public.
