Liaison Joseph Tripline and OGIS: Evidence of Continuing Obstruction by Angelica Holland in FOIA #032820237017 – Pattern of Deliberate Evidence Control by Named CMS Insiders Since 2019 March 9, 2026 Formal Escalation to CMS FOIA Public Liaison Joseph Tripline and OGIS

BRIEFING MEMORANDUM FOR 2026 SENIOR LEADERSHIP DOJ • HHS • CMS • FBI • OIG • OSC • Civil Rights Division On March 9, 2026, TBI survivor and qualified ABI provider David Medeiros formally escalated FOIA #032820237017 to CMS FOIA Public Liaison Joseph Tripline and the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS). This escalation was triggered by Government Information Specialist Angelica Holland’s March 5, 2026 email in which she asked Mr. Medeiros to resend the original FOIA request she has possessed since March 30, 2023. Forensic Summary The core governing documents of the Connecticut Medicaid ABI Waiver Program the actual federal-state contract controlling billions in federal Medicaid dollars, Freedom of Choice requirements, provider access, and slot reservations were never produced in the October 13, 2023 “full release.” Instead, only a peripheral 2019 MFP protocol was sent. Angelica Holland’s March 5, 2026 request for a document she already holds is textbook evidence-control paperwork designed to exhaust a disabled requester and create the appearance of responsiveness while protecting the ongoing diversion of federal funds through steering and two-tier provider systems. This is the same pattern documented since 2019 that forced Mr. Medeiros to use MuckRock to publicize his requests after repeated burial inside CMS systems. Named Officials in the Chain Angelica Holland (Government Information Specialist) – sent the March 5, 2026 delay email Joseph Tripline (CMS FOIA Public Liaison) – now formally notified and requested to act Emmett D. Nicholson (Director, Division of FOIA Analysis – C) – signed the false “full release” letter Jay Olin (former Director) – issued the original acknowledgment Action Taken by Requester Mr. Medeiros has now placed the matter in the hands of the two statutory oversight bodies responsible for preventing exactly this type of obstruction. Recommended Immediate Federal Steps Open OGIS mediation and compel production of the withheld 2023 ABI Waiver documents. Subpoena Angelica Holland’s complete case file and internal notes for FOIA #032820237017. Interview all named officials under oath regarding the seven-year pattern of delay and selective production. This March 9, 2026 escalation letter is now permanent, subpoena-ready evidence that the organized criminal enterprise inside CMS continues to operate in 2026 using government employment as cover to conceal federal Medicaid funding theft.
