Judicial Watch chief: Slowly but surely, the Clinton email cover up is unraveling

Fox News

It is no surprise that neither Hillary Clinton nor the Obama State Department agrees with our request to depose Mrs. Clinton concerning her exclusive use of her non-state.gov email account to house and send tens of thousands of official emails throughout her entire tenure as secretary of state.

What is notable is that the State Department finally admits that Clinton’s practice of supposedly emailing other State officials using her non-state.gov account was not an “appropriate method of preserving federal records or making them available for searches under FOIA.”  

Second, it is both significant and disturbing that Hillary Clinton now asserts a private “claim of right” over her non-state.gov email account, including any of the 55,000 pages of federal records she returned to the State Department.  She further claims that these and other emails, including emails that may have contained classified information, have “never been the property of or in the possession or control of the State Department.”

Also important is the difference between the State Department’s and Mrs. Clinton’s most fundamental claims as to why neither agency staff nor Mrs. Clinton should testify.

It is both significant and disturbing that Hillary Clinton now asserts a private “claim of right” over her non-state.gov email account, including any of the 55,000 pages of federal records she returned to the State Department.

The State Department claims that no one at the agency really knew anything about Mrs. Clinton’s non-state.gov email system, so there is nothing left to say.

Mrs. Clinton, on the other hand, claims that everyone at the agency knew all about her non-state.gov system, so, once again, there is nothing left to say.

Mrs. Clinton’s deposition might clear up this and other issues.

The legal battle about whether Hillary Clinton will have to testify about her email system could be decided as early as this Monday at a hearing before a federal judge.

In the meantime, this Judicial Watch lawsuit again forced more government transparency.  Following a prior court order, the State Department asked the FBI for any Clinton emails it recovered.  And, late Tuesday, the FBI wrote back that it would turn over the emails that Mrs. Clinton had either deleted or held back from the American people.

Slowly but surely, the Clinton email cover up is unraveling.

  1. It may be unraveling, but the damn bitch is still selected to be president and will NEVER see a jail cell and will continue to do it again and again, but if you or I do the exact same thing, we would NEVER see the light of day.

    People can expose and expose till their fingers fall off, but nothing will change unless We the People grab that bitch and hang her ourselves for high treason.

    And that’s the bottom line!

    1. There you go, NC…. a long, drawn-out media circus to promote the illusion of a functioning justice system, but absolutely nothing will happen to Hillary until she falls into the hand of an angry mob.

  2. You keep on watching Judicial Watch. I’m sure that federal judge is gonna help you out. If he does say yes, I’m sure the Clinton’s cronies can find 40 other federal judges to tell you no.
    Now that I think about it, I’m fairly certain they do it that way on purpose. They like to let you get your hopes up, thinking FINALLY, something is going to happen and then WHAM! they slam the door right in your face.
    I’m sure they find it extremely amusing. It’s a regular laughathon.

  3. The media is focusing on the Clinton E-mails when they should be focusing on the Clinton Foundation. Most in power in Washington D. C. are involved in the corruption of the Clinton Foundation.

    1. WHO RUNS “THE MEDIA”? COULD IT BE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT RUN THE CLINTON FOUNDATION? FOLLOW THE MONEY….
