Re: timeline From Hugh Hurwitz To Ray Ormond, (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) Date 2019/08/11 19:30 Subject: Re: timeline Attachments: TEXT.htm (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) I made two edits/clarifications below on 7/29 first part, and 8/9 regarding the psych alert. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. In terms of releasing the info, I don't have any concerns per se, however, this is all subject to an ongoing investigation. Normally, I would never release such information without first ensuring that the investigative body (OIG/FBI) do not have any concerns that its release may interfere with their investigation. Of course, you may have already done that, but in any event that is between you and them and not my business.
