Efforts continue to discover a copy of a December 3, 2010, sent by Undersheriff Andy Zinke to the Chicago office of the FBI. The letter and all copies of it seem to have vanished into thin air.
Zinke apparently wrote to the Chicago FBI office (then headed by Robert D. Grant, Special Agent in Charge) about investigation of Sheriff Keith Nygren. On January 4, 2011, the Chicago FBI office replied to Zinke, opening its letter with "We have had the opportunity to carefully review your December 3, 2010, letter ..." That FBI letter was published on McHenry County Blog, and I have a copy of it.
You can read that letter here. Perhaps you will wonder, as I did, about the old-style typewriter font,. the lack of a File Number, and the disclosure of information that the FBI generally doesn't release.
Now, you would think that the McHenry County Sheriff's Department would have a copy of that December 3, 2010, letter; right? Of course, it should have a copy of the letter. Either Zinke wrote it himself or he had his secretary write it or perhaps one of the officers he directs.
There has to be a copy somewhere at MCSD! Records/documents/letters cannot just be deleted on someone's whim or because it "could" look bad if found. There are records retention laws that are to be followed.
However, a FOIA request to the Sheriff's Department resulted in no letter, and a further follow-up with the Illinois Attorney General's Public Access Bureau could not pry the letter loose. The McHenry County State's Attorney's Office cooperated with the Public Access Bureau. What happened to that letter?
It is inconceivable that an important letter from MCSD to the FBI would vanish - unless someone wanted it to vanish - or unless it never existed in the first place.
But what about the FBI's January 4, 2011, response to the request from Zinke?
Now the FBI said it has no such letter as the Zinke December 3, 2010 letter. In response to my June 14, 2012, FOIA to the FBI, initial responses were that I could expect a 118-day delay in a final response. In September and October my request was "in progress". And then today I received information that a "No Record" had been sent to me on July 20.
Which, conveniently, wasn't delivered to me? Question for the FBI... If a "No Record" letter was sent to me on July 20, why was I told in August that typical response time was 118 days? And in September and October that my request was moving along through channels?
Is this just the tip of an iceberg? Was there really no "genuine" January 4, 2011 letter? I have asked the FBI to authenticate that letter; i.e., to confirm that it is genuine and was prepared by Angela Byers in her official capacity and was mailed from the Chicago FBI office.
And maybe the December 3, 2010, letter from Zinke to the FBI never existed at all? Then why would Asst. Special Agent in Charge Angela Byers write to Zinke and request to his "December 3, 2010, letter requesting reports"?
You never know who is interested…

Old FBI "Templates" Gus....there is your clue!
I guess the fact that Grant and Fitzgerald's side by side retirement after the US DOJ in WASHINGTON found out about some thing's!!
Keep watching folks.....
Yeah, Midnight, I believe you stumbled upon the conspiracy even before Gus and his band of TinFoilHat investigative groups found it. Digging deeper, it's probably much worse. Remember, FBI Director Mueller ten year term was extended by Obama. That tells us that somebody higher up in the conspiracy thought that he needed to stay on to insure that the cover up held. Who could it be? The Tri-Lateral Commission, perhaps? Maybe higher? Maybe what we're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg Is it possible that Obama himself has orchestrated this to bring discredit upon the Republican party> I can see it now. He allows this to go on for just so long and then blows the whistle on the entire coverup and, since Nygre and Zinke are Republicans, the entire Republican party goes down in flames. What prevented us from seeing through this insidious plot? Sanity perhaps?
