It's outside the realm of your usual FOIA requests, but since I'm out of requests for the month (and already bought more than a few extra...) I figured I'd mention it.
While posting docs related to the MLK assassination trial <http://that1archive.neocities.org/subfolder1/MLK-assassination-trial.html>, I realized that Loyd Jowers <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyd_Jowers>, who confessed to playing a part in the MLK assassination a few months before his death, surely has an FBI file. The DOJ did a follow-up investigation and their report concluded he and the other witnesses were lying, but it'd be interesting to see what the FBI had on him and what materials the DOJ/FBI referenced beyond the trial transcript. Let me know if you file anything on it, otherwise I'll try to get to it next month (unless I get distracted by other shiny FOIAs/projects/IRL (what do I mean, this listserv isn't real?!?) stuffs). --Mike *coderman* [email protected] <coderman%40gmail.com?Subject=Re%3A%20FOIPA%20adventures&In-Reply-To=%3CCAJVRA1SEFzByw4wA9o0u%3D64QHWJmdLmMtbX_debnhBFPOBSxBw%40mail.gmail.com%3E> *Sun Jan 17 07:47:47 EST 2016* > still have one FOIA left for January; trying to pick a topic... it must > beat this one, in terms of poking bear caliber: > ''' > Records of any communication, agreements, transcripts, memorandum of > understanding, contracts, or other responsive materials relating to > Ibragim Todashev as an Undercover Employee, Informant, or Cooperating > Witness with the Bureau before his death on May 22, 2013 at age 27 in > Florida while being interviewed about his possible connection to a > triple murder in Waltham, Mass., on Sept. 11, 2011.
