DOJ OIP Redirect + MuckRock Digests: How to Prove Exhaustion and Pinpoint the Right Record Custodian

This update logs two high-value artifacts: (1) DOJ OIP’s Dec 4, 2024 final response closing FOIA-2025-01052 through FOIA-2025-01060 with a component-referral directive, and (2) MuckRock dashboard and digest exports that preserve timestamps for acknowledgements and responses across agencies. The practical value is simple: it narrows the search to the correct custodian, locks exhaustion proof, and supports escalation under FOIA plus disability-access rules when delivery methods are inaccessible.
