“If this were a private law firm with 5 percent of the resources of the DOJ, this would have been done by the deadline,” Massie said Tuesday. “They just missed another deadline to report all of the politicians in their files, and they’re supposed to justify all of their redactions.”
“The biggest problem isn’t that they’re missing deadlines — it’s what they’re redacting,” he added. “They’re trying to pretend the Privacy Act overrides a law that explicitly says you can’t withhold records to prevent embarrassment.”
His comments came after the DOJ unveiled Monday that it was still reviewing over two million files.
