Hillary Clinton knowingly acted to circumvent the Freedom of Information Act by creating a private email server, according to legal experts.
Speaking at a panel hosted by government watchdog group Judicial Watch, experts in the field of government accountability agreed that Clinton’s decision to create her own email server was a deliberate attempt to avoid transparency laws.
Daniel Metcalfe, who was the founding director of the Justice Department’s office of information and privacy, said that the regime created by Clinton at the State Department was a “prescription for blatant circumvention of FOIA.”
FOIA agents responding to the multiple requests made regarding Clinton’s emails had “nothing to search through,” explained Metcalfe.
Metcalfe, who added that he is a registered Democrat and plans to vote for Clinton if she is the party’s presidential nominee, also stated that his first-hand experience suggests that Clinton and her lawyer, Cheryl Mills, knew what they were doing.
“I know enough to know that Clinton indeed had knowledge of how the FOIA worked,” said Metcalfe. “I worked with members of the White House, including Cheryl Mills, and based on first-hand experience, she knew exactly what she was doing.”
Metcalfe added that Clinton’s actions amounted to a “flouting, if not an outright violation” of the Federal Records Act.
“By not having an official account at all, she acted utterly contrary to the FRA,” said Metcalfe.
Also on the panel was Joseph diGenova, a former former U.S. Attorney who said that the “incident has stopped the clock on accountability” and that “the basic facts cry out for a formal investigation by the Justice Department.”
“Clinton is going to have to testify in a federal court,” said diGenova. “She has admitted that she has destroyed, theoretically, government documents under subpoena by the House of Representatives and under subpoena in civil litigation.”

Oh oh.
How dare he speak up for the Law against Her Majesty.
Foster may soon have company in Marcy Park.
No she won’t.
Not with Bonehead and McDorkell in charge of the spineless congresscritters.
Translated: Yes, she's probably a criminal, but I'm gonna vote for her!
Has anyone asked Hillary why SHE SIDED WITH THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT?????
Enough BS. Since it will be at least 10 years before she gets to court. And after the communists have worked over the election in 2016 we will have her or extended King Obama. In any case a executive order and pardon will eliminate any inquiry of Hillary and her illegal emails. Quit the shi!. We are getting damn tired. It is hard to fight when our Country is pushing into communism with a dictator. America is finish all but talk, talk, talk.
I think her system was far more modern than that..she use 12 inch floppies to back everything up
Hillary: Wait, I said I would testify in front of Congress.
Bill: Yeah, no one said nothin' 'bout no Federal Court!
That just means Metcalfe is in on the scam. Bumps 0bamaCare off the front pages, too, where all the taxpayers are now paying a financial penalty.
Yeah, and whose army is going to drag (drug) her into Court?
According to Secret Service agents, she is deadly throwing lamps etc.

Maybe, FINALLY, somebody will take down this witch. She has done much damage to our precious country over the last 22 years. From the missing Rose Law firm billing records to Whitewater to the email server. And those are acts we know about. How many transgressions do we not know about?
I remain convinced there is A LOT to the Benghazi story we don’t know about. A LOT.
Have to testify? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Democrats are Law-Less because Republican "leaders" are BALL-LESS!!
Doesn’t Satan burn if he puts his hand on a bible? How are they going to swear her in without killing her.? :-)
The TV commentators keep asking the why question of Big Ears decisions. Can't they follow the dots & see that his is evil, corrupt & desires to ruin the nation? Thanks to radio & the Mark Levins & Michael Savages, etc.
