Obama Administration Wants to Keep Clinton Foundation Emails Hidden Until Late 2018
2016-07-01
[Breitbart] The Obama Administration is already infamous for slow-walking information requests, causing investigations to drag out for years, and then complaining loudly about how long the investigations are taking! But they’ve really outdone themselves this time.

The Justice Department has filed a motion in court, on behalf of the State Department, seeking to keep a vast trove of correspondence between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s aides, and the notorious Clinton Foundation, hidden from voters’ eyes for 27 months... in other words, until October 2018, about halfway through President Hillary Clinton’s prospective first term.

The story laid out by the Daily Caller grows more outrageous with each paragraph. For starters, we learn that four senior Clinton aides -- Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Michael Fuchs, Ambassador-At-Large Melanne Verveer, Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, and Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin -- were sending a lot of correspondence to the Clinton Foundation. The original tally of six thousand emails turned out to be low -- very, very low. The State Department said the total has swelled to 34,116 potentially responsive documents.

It's probably a total coincidence that Bill Clinton just caused a stir by holding a mysterious private meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, creating "optics" that made even some liberals queasy.

Lynch insists all they talked about was "grandchildren, golf, and their respective travels."
I've often had -- by which I mean never had -- conversations with grandchildren, golf and travel with the spouse of a person under investigation by the FBI, on a private jet, sitting on the tarmac where it's hard to bug. Sure. Happens to all of us...
We can take her word that they didn't talk about DOJ lawyers helping to shield Clinton Foundation documents from the public for 27 months, or with the depositions Clinton aides are currently giving about Hillary Clinton's email server in another FOIA suit, right?

Also on Thursday, the White House published a fact sheet called "New Steps Toward Ensuring Openness and Transparency in Government." No, really, they did.

#11  At the rate justice and law enforcement is eroding in America, XXX and snuff films + like will soon become "mainstream" - by extension, it will be agz the law to put anyone in jail for murder or otherwise engaging in extremism.

Well, at least they're not blaming Bush anymore.

#8  Seems to me this will backfire big time if the Democrats lose the white house. I guess Obama could give an Executive Pardon as a parting gift, but would he?

#3  This is like voting for a "Pig in a Poke" if the voters don't have access to the Clinton emails and shenanigans. There are still some who think Hillary is a sweet little old grandmother who is full of sweetness, goodness, and light.
