"Foot Dragging" The Obama Response to Rep. Issa's Request for Documents

From the Daily Caller written by Jonathan Strong

The Freedom of Information Act you have to give out the documents. Does it specify how prompt the delivery has to be?

One can assume they have a lot to withhold from public scrutiny.

The article states that the department heads have ordered employees not to respond. See excerpt from report.
Additionally, Issa includes his charge that career employees were instructed not to search for documents responsive to his request.
Bobby Whithorne, a DHS spokesman, defended the agency’s record on FOIA when contacted Monday about whether DHS met the weekend deadline.
