- phodo 10y ago(from oreilly newsletter...) Max Ogden apparently got there first, downloading 40 TB of open data in the last month. https://gist.github.com/maxogden/d1e3f14bb9253ef9638a40826b000f08?imm_mid=0eda06&cmp=em-data-na-na-newsltr_20170222 https://gist.github.com/maxogden/d1e3f14bb9253ef9638a40826b0...
- finid 10y agoMaybe they took it all down so they can "sanitize" them. Stranger things have happened.
- shakna 10y ago> No stranger would it be, if you and I met at the hanging tree On a more serious note: though this might be precisely what you've suggested, it plays into fears about this administration that were raised before they came into power. Research and data that disagreed with party lines would disappear.
- slowhand09 10y agoThe Affordable Care Act wording on Whitehouse.gov that said you can keep your plan, your doctor, etc. disappeared shortly after the bill was passed. Nothing new here.

- slowhand09 10y agoIts not empty. Start at the TOP level. The data you are looking for is probably not there. But this should be expected. Why would Trump want to showcase what Obama did.

Also, give him a little time. Its been a month and he has to do his job plus overcome opposition for the sake of opposition.
