    Who knew to get Jared Kushner's clearance applications we just had to ask the postal service and we'd get a response in two weeks?

        Ex CIA Democrat in VA race had her security clearance application released to her opponent, and the current theory is that someone in the WH was being a petty shit. The PAC that has her unredacted application says that they got it through a Postal Service FOIA.

        Thank you. Hmm, who else would be interesting to FOIA in this respect (if true)? Taking suggestions in the world of tax and treasury, state and local #taxtwitter.

        An unredacted copy no less. How unusual is it to get unredacted documents through a FOIA?

        USPS "cover letter" that accompanied that "FOIA" was all wrong. It came from HR, made no ref to FOIA & included a tracking #. All wrong.

        Maybe the Post Office can get Kavanaugh's records too...?

        If they received this by a true error, should they have returned it? Shredded it? What would have been the right thing to do or is keeping and using it fair game?

        Perhaps we could ask USPS for Donnie's tax returns? Been asking for a few years now.

        Jared would have had to have applied for employment with USPS for them to have his records. I doubt he ever did that.

        I went to middle school in the building that later became the Arab school where candidate Spanberger briefly taught. The school was targeted in the early days after 9/11. Ironically, it's a beautiful old structure built by FDR's WPA.
