Friday Afternoon Document Drop

Like clockwork, the Obama Administration has important disclosures to make...on Friday afternoon. This week it's the Terror Force One FOIA disclosure.

There are more pictures which also look like they're done with a pocket camera at that link. The meat is in these two very large PDFs: FOIA Supporting Docs 1 and FOIA Supporting Docs 2.

I've glanced through them, but don't really have a lot of time for this right now. I did not see a crew or passenger manifest for the Air Force One backup VC-25. I did, however, see this comical pre-flight email (page 32 of the first PDF):

Sir: per our conversation about Scott Turner's plans to fly over the Statue of Liberty -- it's scheduled for this Monday, April 27th. All has been coordinated. AF PA plan/statement is below and will be released only if asked. Will probably receive some local press, but WH shouldn't catch any questions about it. Provided in case you want to pass to Jim Messina or Robert Gibbs for awareness. This is an AF operation, in close coordination with FAA. Happy to discuss with you as necessary.

Then this short one (dare I say worried?) from when the shit hit the fan. The author's name is redacted and this is the full email (page 19 of the first PDF):

Yes sir. It was on CNN a few minutes ago. Apparently people were evacuating their office buildings in Manhattan.

Apparently. Apparently there are a whole bunch of idiots working for the President.
