U.S. Postal Service looking into how Spanberger's records were released

[TexasTowelie]

A spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service said the agency is looking into how an unredacted security questionnaire filled out years ago by congressional candidate Abigail Spanberger was publicly released.

A GOP research firm submitted a Freedom of Information Act request July 9 to the National Personnel Records Center and received a reply July 30 from the Postal Service, where Spanberger once worked as a postal inspector before becoming a CIA agent in 2006. Spanberger, a Democrat, is challenging Rep. Dave Brat, R-7th, as he seeks a third term.

On Tuesday, Spanberger wrote a letter to the Congressional Leadership Fund, a conservative super PAC, accusing the group of illegally obtaining her records, saying they should have been confidential.

There’s no evidence that the PAC and research firm it worked with did anything wrong.

1. Three week FOIA request turnaround???

Hell...I’ve got first class mail that’s taken longer than that to get across town.

The combination of speed and unredactec makes it obvious something is fishy.

These guys are such asshats.

2. I'd bet 20 dollars they already had her records

when they made the request then waited a "reasonable" time until they publically released them.

3. Repugs are strongly opposed to leaking, and get really upset by mishandling of classified info. Nt
