On Tuesday, Just the News<\/a> reported that the FBI has denied a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from Just the News regarding voter registration fraud in Michigan.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

According to the dozens of pages of police reports<\/a> from the Muskegon Police Department and Michigan State Police, a firm called GBI Strategies was under scrutiny as an organization central to alleged voter registration fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The matter was initially investigated by city and state authorities<\/a> before the FBI took over.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contacts between local law enforcement and the FBI continued into 2022 but there is no evidence of what happened after that in the memos obtained by Just the News through requests made under Michigan’s own <\/a>Freedom of Information\u00a0Act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, the FBI denied a Freedom of Information\/Privacy Acts request from Just the News regarding records from the investigation into GBI Strategies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there is ‘nothing to see here,’ why are they hiding it?<\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

The request sought \u201ccopies of all reports, documents, and records about GBI Strategies, including all communication and correspondence regarding investigations of GBI Strategies with Michigan government officials, city and state law enforcement agencies in Michigan, and all other state government officials and law enforcement agencies involved in investigations of GBI Strategies.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FBI\u2019s response partially reads: \u201cThe material you requested is located in an investigative file which is exempt from disclosure.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FBI cited 5 U.S. Code \u00a7 552(b)(7)(A)<\/a> for exempting disclosure of the records, specifically, “records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent that the production of such law enforcement records or information \u2026 could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The agency\u2019s response continued: \u201cThe records responsive to your request are law enforcement records; there is a pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records, and release of the information could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police from Michigan interviewed GBI Strategies employees in 2020 and cited specific instances of registrations that appeared suspicious or fraudulent, the previously obtained memos show. A Michigan State Police memo described the possible crime being investigated as\u00a0“Election Fraud by Forgery.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Distract, delay, and deny until the statute of limitations runs out. We have seen this play before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
