The following is a paragraph is a DIRECT QUOTE from a letter I received, dated 2 June 1999, from Mr. James E. Kessler Jr, Section chief, NICS Program Office, Criminal Justice information Services Division, FBI offices at Clarksburg, W.VA, in response to an e-mail I had sent to DOJ on 26 March, 1999. I had commented on, among other things, FBI operation of NICS, and the fact of their illegally keeping NICS data in their records.
"The law has never been interpreted by the FBI to mean that all reloevant information is p[urged from the system immediately after the processing is complete.The system that was dssigned and developed reflects this interpretation of the law. Modification of the NICS to utilize immediate purging of information would require a major system redesign".
One might now wonder as to what, in plain english, the above quote says. My take, others may come to different conclusions, is as follows:
1.The FBI never intended to operate the NICS as required by the law (Brady).
2. At this point, if required to obey the law, as are the rest of us, in effect, they are saying that they will need a whole lot of money, spelled taxpayer funds, to "fix" the program so that it might now operate, as it was originally supposed to operate, rather than the way The FBI designed it to operate.
3. Likely, The FBI did as ordered, threse orders coming from The Attorney General, though obvioiusly and ultimately from The White House, the home of non-feasance and mal-feasance not recently seen in this country.
4. The While House is the official home of an impeached President, whose administration is, and has been the seat of the above mentioned non-feasance and mal-feasance. At the same tome it fails to properly enforce existing law, it beats the drum for more laws, spelled restrictions on the law abiding, and obviously has instructed the FBI to violate the law.
5. The FBI is not completely innocent in this matter, for regarding "obeying orders", some Nazis made the same claim after World War 2. Their claim didn't fly, and neither would that of The FBI.
