FYSA attorney friends, the D.C. District Court is soliciting applications for federal public defenders and "[t]he current authorized salary is $197,200."

The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is accepting applications from all qualified persons for the position of Federal Public Defender for the District of Columbia. The term of appointment is four years. The Federal Public Defender provides federal criminal defense services to individuals unable to afford counsel. An applicant must: (1) be a member in good standing of at least one state bar or the District of Columbia bar; (2) have been engaged in active criminal practice for a minimum of five years, preferably with significant federal criminal trial and appellate experience; (3) possess administrative expertise; (4) have a reputation for integrity, commitment to equal justice, and outstanding legal ability; and (5) have a commitment to the vigorous representation of those unable to afford counsel. Federal public defenders may not engage in the private practice of law and are subject to the judiciary financial disclosure requirements.
This position becomes available on September 22, 2026. The selection process will be confidential and competitive. Applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, sex, gender, gender identity, pregnancy, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age (40 years and over), or disability unless such disability causes the applicant to be unable to perform the essential duties of the office. The Court’s Criminal Justice Act Panel Committee will screen all applications to find the best qualified person available for the position. The incumbent Federal Public Defender has applied for reappointment. While an appointment to additional terms is permitted, there is no right to reappointment.
Salary – The current authorized salary is $197,200.
Application Process – Submit a cover letter, resume, and a narrative statement to Spencer Hallett.

That's right

“I wanted them to take away that FOIA is the best way for an individual to punch above their weight whenever it comes to interfacing with the government, because anybody has the right to request any agency record from any federal agency, which is very broadly defined,” Bell said. “It's not just a course in FOIA—it's a course in responsible citizenship.”

if you DID want to go after it, the best case on point for the release of LE info over an individual privacy interest in nondisclosure is CREW v. DOJ, 840 F. Supp. 2d 226, 234 (D.D.C. 2012), involving FBI's non-investigation of a matter of public corruption of Rep. Don Young (R–AK)

sadly, suing the government is pretty much the only way to get any records of substance in less than 3 years, or at all. Fortunately, we are very good at suing the government.
