More evidence of lack of integrity? I'd say so. Either way, though, 1 1/2
million potentially fraudulent comments, in the face of 22 million that were
not shown to be fraudulent, should not carry that much weight. Still, if it
keeps the rubber stamp vote from occurring, one in which two Republican
Commissioners can do no better than recite verbatim the same words as the
Chairman, it's all good. Delay the farce of a vote.
Looking forward to the courts doing the right thing.

For Immediate Release
STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER JESSICA ROSENWORCEL ON FCC REFUSAL TO ASSIST LAW
ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATION
WASHINGTON, December 8, 2017 - Following news that the FCC has refused a
request to assist New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's investigation
into identity theft in the FCC's net neutrality record, FCC Commissioner
Jessica Rosenworcel released the following statement:
"In a letter dated yesterday that was handed to press but is unavailable on the
FCC's website, the agency refuses to assist New York Attorney General
Schneiderman's investigation into the identity theft of a million consumers in
the FCC's net neutrality record. This letter shows the FCC's sheer contempt for
public input and unreasonable failure to support integrity in its process. To
put it simply, there is evidence in the FCC's files that fraud has occurred and
the FCC is telling law enforcement and victims of identity theft that it is not
going to help. Moreover, the FCC refuses to look into how nearly half a million
comments came from Russian sources. Failure to investigate this corrupted
record undermines our process for seeking public input in the digital age. This
is unacceptable. Until we get to the bottom of this mess with a proper
investigation, no vote should take place."
