Scoundreller ◴[] No.41198741[source]
> Michael Martel, a national public information officer at USPIS, says the information provided by Smith is being used as part of an ongoing USPIS investigation and that the agency cannot comment on specific details.

Oh, they 100% can. There's a US Constitution thing allowing them to comment on things. They just chose not to comment because they don't want to.

It's not a constitutional issue. They're not commenting about an active investigation because they're still investigating and public comments can interfere with the investigation.
