Wolfgang Halbig Notches Win in Sandy Hook FOIA Fight

By Eowyn @DrEowyn

Outstanding description by Tony Mead of what transpired at Wolfgang Halbig’s Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission hearing on Feb. 18. Here’s the takeaway summary:

“As one observes the blatant attempts by the State to confuse, obfuscate and delay the release of these documents, it becomes apparent to even the least informed that they obviously have something to hide. There is no justification for the continued efforts to delay the inevitable. If the Sandy Hook incident is a genuine mass murder, why not simply provide Wolfgang with the proof and have him move on? It should really be just that simple!”

Halbig’s “win” is in the admission by the FOI Commission that the dash cam videos (taken by state trooper vehicles parked in Sandy Hook Elementary School’s parking lot on the day of the alleged massacre) are part of the public record, instead of “evidence,” and therefore should be made available to Halbig.

This is a no nonsense, by the book, informed and educated attorney who seems to view Wolfgang and his attorney along with Christine Plourde (Legislative Manager and basically “gatekeeper” of DESPPP records) and her attorney with equally condescending disdain.

Kay Wilson explains to Perpetua that Wolfgang has been getting the “runaround” on his FOIA request for written police reports from…
