FBI (D.D.C.) -- ruling that: (1) FBI properly relied on Exemption 7(E) to withhold various records concerning agency’s practice of impersonating journalists and documentary filmmakers, and noting that the foreseeable harm standard was inapplicable to that exemption; and (2) FBI failed to sufficiently explain how investigatory records concerning Cliven Bundy were protected by Exemption 7(A).
