An article in the Boston Globe this week, confirms previous Judiciary Report claims, regarding the FBI moving files out of their main offices and hiding them, when certain Freedom of Information Act requests come in, for information they do not wish to see the light of day in the public domain, as the agency's conduct in said matter is very illegal and immoral.

The Judiciary Report previously wrote on February 10, 2009, "They will hide files, compress them, move them out of the office, even deliberately list them under misspelled names in their database, to keep unconstitutional investigations quiet, which is illegal."
