RE: PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST
Dear Ms. Call, As you know, we have submitted a number
of
public records requests for any and all documents to, from or regarding Mark Bunker. I have recently reviewed the past responses to our requests,
as
well as follow-up requests we have done and
it
seems there are still records missing.
1.
In response
to
our November 23, 2020 public records request, Mr. Bunker produced a Facebook private message conversation he had with Renata Lugli. Ms. Lugli was requesting
Mr
Bunker's input regarding a letter she wished to send
to
Tracey McManus
at
the
Times.
After amending her letter based on
Mr
Bunker's input, Ms Lugli asked
Mr
Bunker
to
forward it to the
Times.
On November 1, 2020,
Mr
Bunker told Ms. Lugli
"I
just sent your message
t
Tracey McManus at the Tampa Bay Times.
I
didn't have an email
for
you but
I
suggested she friend you on F acebook she hasn't already.
Mr
Bunker did not produce his communication
to
Ms. McManus, or any response he received from her. We request that communication be produced. 2. Mr. Bunker produced an e-mail he received from full-time anti-Scientologist blogger Tony Ortega on October 21, 2020 wherein Mr. Ortega stated
Hey
man,
I m
in a
zoom
conference right
now.
I ll
be
free
in
about
an hour.

Mr. Bunker responded
Sounds
good
however there
is
no record
of
a telephone call, e-
ma
il, text message, videoconference
or
any other means
of
communication between Mr. Bunker and Mr. Ortega following that e-mail.
I request any such records be produced.
3.
On November
10
, 2020, Mr. Bunker commented on a posting on the
membe
rs
-only anti-Scientology Facebook page Outer Banks . In his
comment, Mr. Bu
r r
discussed statements
he
had made at a City Council meeting. This posting was not produced.
We
request this posting be produced, and that Mr. Bunker review and confirm there are no other postings he
may
have missed.
4.
In a letter I sent to you on August
18
, 2020, I pointed out that on June 8,
2020, Mr. Ortega wrote a blog about the public records requests the Church has made, noting
Mark [Bunker} sent us an email about his Disqus postings
and
asked
for
help retrieving them. In that email, he attached
Scientology's most recent request from Flag Service Organization secretary Glen Stilo.
At that time, Mr. Bunker had not produced that
em
a
il
,
or
any response from Mr. Ortega and made a new request for those documents. Although he produced other documents requested in that August
18
letter, Mr. Bunker did not produce his correspondence with Mr. Ortega.
We
reiterate our request for the emails between Mr. Bunker and Mr. Ortega.
5.
In a separate records request I
made
on August 18, 2020, I requested
Any
and all records relating
t
the website
and
domain markbunker.com since
March
17
2020. Such records would include, but not be limited to,
we bjiles, e-mail correspondence using the domain name,
and
logs
of
any
type.
While records were produced for other categories
of
documents contained in that letter,
we
got no records responsive
to
this specific request.
We
specifically request a response regarding these records.
6.
A
May
30, 2020 Facebook private message between Mr. Bunker and Eddie Green, a podcaster, indicates Mr. Bunker had installed a texting and communications app called
LINE
which he then used
to
communicate with Mr. Green. As
no
records from the LINE app had been produced, we specifically requested them in the letter I sent
to
you on August 18, 2020. While Mr. Bunker did produce the record
of
the phone call he had with Mr. Green using LINE,
no
records
of
any texting through that app,
or
other communication
to
further arrange his interview was produced
by
Mr. Bunker.
We
again request any texts
Mr.
Bunker had through LINE.

7.
Mr. Bunker produced a Linkedln private message conversation he had with a Lizzie Noel between October 5 and October
8.
He
has produced no other records from his Link dIn account.
We
therefore specifically request any records on Mr. Bunker
s
Linkedln account from March
17
to
the present.
8.
Based on records Mr. Bunker has provided,
it
seems there
may
be some documents that were not produced due to gaps between records that were produced. In other words, it appeared Mr. Bunker was in frequent communication with these individuals but no records were produced for the time periods noted below. I am therefore requesting he specifically review and produce any missing documents:
a.
Text messages with Aaron Smith-Levin from September
15
through October 13. b. Text messages with Tracey McManus from April
23
to
the present.
c.
