Janet Reno's United States Department of Justice Investigation of Recent Allegations Regarding the Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. June 2000 http://permanent.access.gpo.gov/websites/usdojgov/www.usdoj.gov/crt/crim/mlk... Michael Best wrote:

It's outside the realm of your usual FOIA requests, but since I'm out of requests for the month (and already bought more than a few extra...) I figured I'd mention it.

While posting docs related to the MLK assassination trial <http://that1archive.neocities.org/subfolder1/MLK-assassination-trial.html>, I realized that Loyd Jowers <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyd_Jowers>, who confessed to playing a part in the MLK assassination a few months before his death, surely has an FBI file. The DOJ did a follow-up investigation and their report concluded he and the other witnesses were lying, but it'd be interesting to see what the FBI had on him and what materials the DOJ/FBI referenced beyond the trial transcript.

Let me know if you file anything on it, otherwise I'll try to get to it next month (unless I get distracted by other shiny FOIAs/projects/IRL (what do I mean, this listserv isn't real?!?) stuffs).

still have one FOIA left for January; trying to pick a topic... it must beat this one, in terms of poking bear caliber: ''' Records of any communication, agreements, transcripts, memorandum of understanding, contracts, or other responsive materials relating to Ibragim Todashev as an Undercover Employee, Informant, or Cooperating Witness with the Bureau before his death on May 22, 2013 at age 27 in Florida while being interviewed about his possible connection to a triple murder in Waltham, Mass., on Sept. 11, 2011. Note that while the content of conversation may be withheld for privacy and other reasons, the existence of these conversations or other law enforcements records may not be concealed. Please search cross-references for Ibragim Todashev that may reveal such communication, in addition to primary indexes. Thank you!
