Chaffetz has been bold lately. Within the past week he was saying that there is a lot more to the Imran Awan investigation too. I hope he doesn't get suicided.
To be fair, while I happen to disagree with the FBI on releasing this information, I don't think their reason is that "the public isn't interested". When they say public interest, I believe they are suing public interest as a compound noun, not a noun verb combination. Whether the information being made public is in the public interest or not is independent of whether anyone in the public is interested in seeing the information.

Isn't a FOI specifically an indication of the public's interest?

I believe they're saying less "We don't think you'd be interested in this information." and more "Your self-appointed betters have decided that knowing this information would not be in your best interests. Now fuckoff and go back to staring at the idiot-box, plebs."
