Thomas Massie: The Main Complaint We Hear Is We Encounter More Redactions When We Remove Redactions

MASSIE: “Main, by the way, it‘s a room with four computers and it‘s busy all the time. There‘s always at least four congressmen in there, and the main complaint that I hear as we search through these files is that when you redact some of the files you encounter more redactions than when we asked the DoJ why are these files redacted? Why can‘t we remove the redactions? The DoJ says, well, that‘s the form in which we received the files. Now here‘s the problem with that, Caitlin. The legislation that Ro Khanna and I wrote directs the attorney general to produce the documents, but they have to give all the documents that are in the possession, not of the DoJ but also of the FBI and also of the u.s attorneys. So what‘s happened, it seems, is that the U.S. attorneys and or the FBI are have redacted documents given them to the DoJ, and then the DoJ hasn‘t done their diligence to go get the original documents.”
