That will be hilarious. It's almost like he planned his own death. He asked for it. Now it will be his demise.

Apparently, no Journalist including Veazey ...

Wonder how long before the NCAA is after those emails freeze requested. Can OM stonewall the NCAA like they did veazey? No subpeona should be needed

Has filed a FOIA request for the 31 emails. I know that Hugh Kellenberger doesn't have the Cajones. Talty is too infatuated with OM. Thaought that after the first article, Veazey would file the paperwork. It's not hard.

In my last job, I reviewed and answered FOIA requests all the time and there is no way OM can keep these emails private. There are nine FOIA exemptions and OM would review the request from the journalist and probably say it meets exemption #6 (Exemption 6: Information that, if disclosed, would invade another individual's personal privacy.)

Next step ... journalist would have to file suit in court saying ... "Bucky asked the public, public responded, readers have a First Amendment 'right' to see emails that were provided. OM is a public institution and has to provide ALL the emails." OM has already said that the reason they 'can't' release the emails is that they contain 'personal information.'

More than likely, the judge will rule that OM "must" release ALL of the emails after the the personal information is redacted, exactly like the NCAA releases their rulings to avoid Exemption 6 ... "email #25 stated that ... I saw OM Booster A gave keys to a 2012 Escalade to high school Player B from Jackson MS.

Remember Houston Nutt and his Cell Phone records at Arkansas? A FOIA request was filed and they got like 500 pages of cell phone records and Donna Bragg was never mentioned. But all they had to do then was dial that number that was listed over 2000 times and they got the VM of Bragg.

That's SOP for handling FOIA requests when you don't want to give up the info. Just don't give them up and claim one of the exceptions and make the party requesting the info go through all the legal hoops to get it. Good chance, they'll eventually give up and you don't have to give it up.

Exactly ...

I'm pretty sure KV has already said he requested them and OM responded with an execption.

And the next step is to file a suit where a judge would determine if OM's exception is valid or if it can be 'overcome' by redacting part of the emails.

Just because OM "claims" an exemption, doesn't mean that the information 'fits' the claimed exemption.

Here is a list of the nine exemptions ...
Exemption 1: Information that is classified to protect national security. The material must be properly classified under an Executive Order.
Exemption 2: Information related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of an agency.
Exemption 3: Information that is prohibited from disclosure by another federal law.
Exemption 4: Information that concerns business trade secrets or other confidential commercial or financial information.
Exemption 5: Information that concerns communications within or between agencies which are protected by legal privileges, that include but are not limited to:

  1. Attorney-Work Product Privilege
  2. Attorney-Client Privilege
  3. Deliberative Process Privilege
  4. Presidential Communications Privilege
Exemption 6: Information that, if disclosed, would invade another individual's personal privacy.
Exemption 7: Information compiled for law enforcement purposes if one of the following harms would occur. Law enforcement information is exempt if it:

  • 7(A). Could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings
  • 7(B). Would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication
  • 7(C). Could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy
  • 7(D). Could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source
  • 7(E). Would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions
  • 7(F). Could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual
Exemption 8: Information that concerns the supervision of financial institutions.
Exemption 9: Geological information on wells.

Aren't those the federal exemptions? Mississippi's Public Records Act would govern these requests. But UM's response is still a load of BS.
