Oh Dear: Treasury Hiring FOIA Officers With Specified Job Description as Withholding Information About TARP from Taxpayers

And also -- the Treasury used a Democratic-donating firm to recruit the new MinTruth officers.

This is what Obama's all about.

We also the extreme likelihood that this will not be the first time for this -- Obama is preparing for investigations, and that preparation consists of nothing but cover-ups and illegal refusals to comply with lawful requests for information.

Officials at the Treasury Department’s Office of Financial Stability contracted with a small consulting firm that has given nearly $25,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005 (and no money to Republicans) to hire “Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Analysts to support the Disclosure Services, Privacy and Treasury Records.” The firm is currently advertising a job opening for a FOIA analyst with experience in the “Use of FOIA/PA exemptions to withhold information from release to the public” (emphasis mine, and if that link goes down, The Examiner has kept a copy for its records).

There are updates -- the firm has since changed the language of that ad, but they still have another ad running with the same language. The Washington Examiner screencapped it all.
