Opinion/Order [18]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg has ruled that the FBI's Glomar response neither confirming nor denying the existence of records in response to Judicial Watch's request for records of communications between former FBI General Counsel James Baker and private attorney Michael Sussman, who had previously worked as an attorney at the Department of Justice, is improper because Baker publicly testified that the meeting took place during congressional testimony. Boasberg started by explaining that "here, the only discernible privacy interests implicated by revealing the existence of the requested records involve concealing Sussman's identity and his relationship to Baker. But any risk of invasion evaporated once Baker publicly testified that he had received documents from Sussman, as well as met with and spoken to him on multiple occasions in 2016." Boasberg added that "as the purported damage here has already come to pass, disclosure would not constitute 'an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.' To the extent that any responsive documents may contain specific details that would cause injury or embarrassment beyond that already done, the FBI may, of course, seek to subsequently redact or withhold material, but it has shown no cognizable privacy interest in concealing these records' existence." The FBI argued that disclosure of the existence of records could cause Sussman embarrassment. However, Boasberg pointed out that "yet, Baker has already publicly disclosed Sussman's status as an informant." Boasberg observed that "having so disclosed, the Government cannot fall back on Glomar, refusing to confirm or deny whether records related to Sussman and Baker exist. That ship has already sailed. Even applying Exemption 7(C)'s more favorable standard for the FBI's withholding, Sussman has no bona fide privacy interest in concealing records memorializing his communications with Baker in 2016." Turning to balancing the interest between privacy and disclosure, Boasberg noted that "here, however, Defendant has identified no privacy interest adequate to justify its Glomar response. No balancing is thus necessary. Defendant must â€" at a minimum â€" confirm or deny whether the records Plaintiff is seeking exist. If they do, Defendant must either turn them over or explain the reasoning behind its withholding."
