On February 12,2024 the FCC issued a Letter of Inquiry demanding a response within 45 days (March 28) to an extensive list of questions and requests for documents, audio files, etc going back to 2014
the file 2024-02-12_WBAI-FM_Application_File_No._0000180618.pdf
can be found in the FCC's LMS (Licensing & Management System ) here

for convenience and because the FCC website will be down for emergency testing
some of the (key) files have been attached (hopefully)
the actual filenames have been referenced with a number to show filing date
sequence / order ( more or less )

ALL OF THE FILES and more are publicly available on the FCC's Licensing & Management System - open https://www.fcc.gov/, navigate to Licensing and Databases, and choose LMS
note that " FCC systems and some website content will be unavailable from 5 PM ET February 23 through 5 PM February 25 for annual emergency readiness testing."

these are some of the publicly available documents ..
conclusions and interpretations are the responsibility of the reader
