Sports fans who are also into FOIA and government transparency might get a kick out of this.

This line from journalist Jason Leopold’s “FOIA Friday” email today about basketball legend Bill Walton’s FBI file made me literally LOL.👇

“The FBI’s summary of the interview noted that Walton is ‘a very soft-spoken individual who appears to have little regard for dates or times.’”

Those who follow basketball know about Walton’s legendary loquaciousness.

I can imagine Walton holding the FBI agents hostage, rambling on and on about whimsical ideas while the agents start regretting their decision to set the meeting.

RIP #BillWalton

P.S. Yes, when someone passes, they lose their right to privacy in the documents the U.S. govt has on them (except medical info), and you can make a FOIA request for their FBI file, as a member of the public
