The whitewash investigation of Marlene's death by the Dept. of Interior Inspector General was not offered to the public willingly. PEER, the public employees' advocacy group, had to "extract" it from the agency using FOIA, the Freedom of Information Act. The agency took NINE MONTHS to produce a copy. And that copy is heavily redacted, edited. See for yourself.
Several questions remain unanswered. Many misdeeds recorded by the investigation suggest interference with, or obstruction of, law enforcement.
Here is a list generated by PEER.
Why did the Bakersfield Field Office manager not make a 911 call when he was unable to contact Braun after receiving her email?
Who delayed "emergency medical personnel" from immediately responding to Braun's house, requesting that they await "the arrival of law enforcement" because "Braun was known to possess firearms"? Braun was alive as emergency responders arrived but died an hour later;
Why did the BLM officials first dispatched to check on Braun seize her computer and other materials from Braun's house and then "failed to properly inventory the removed property or document their actions as required by BLM policy"?; and
What, if any, changes will Interior consider adopting to prevent future such tragedies?
