"It was gone."

(Washington, DC ) - Judicial Watch announced today that the Obama State Department recently found "thousands" of new records from Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State. According to information provided to Judicial Watch by various Justice Department attorneys, the new documents appear be "working" records in electronic format located on both "shared" and "individual" drives accessible to or used by persons identified as being relevant to Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits on the Benghazi scandal and controversies from Clinton's term at State. The State Department confirmed the new find in a court filing late this past Friday in a FOIA lawsuit concerning records about Clinton aide Huma Abedin:
After State filed its motion for summary judgment in this case [on November 11, 2015], State located additional sources of documents that originated within the Office of the Secretary that are reasonably likely to contain records responsive to Plaintiff's request. State has informed Plaintiff that it intends to search these locations, produce non-exempt portions of any responsive records, and file a supplemental declaration in support of its motion for summary judgment (which is presently stayed).
The State Department seeks at least until February 1 to provide additional information about these new records.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement in response to the new disclosures:
This latest find of Clinton records, at this late date, is astonishing. The State Department waited to last possible moment, as it did with the Clinton emails, to tell Judicial Watch and the federal courts about thousands of records that haven't been searched, as the law requires. Who knew what - and when did they know it - about these new Clinton documents?
These newly recovered Clinton records are a potential game changer - and will be of interest to the courts, Congress, and the FBI's criminal investigation. It sure looks like more of the same in terms of Obama administration officials' obstructing our FOIA requests, obstructing the courts, obstructing Congress, and obstructing justice.
Judicial Watch exposed this new cover up on the heels of a finding by State Department's Inspector General that Hillary Clinton and the Obama State Department thwarted specific Judicial Watch FOIA requests by lying about her email system with "inaccurate" and "incomplete" responses.
Our criminal government on display. The compromised Fed employees love their paychecks to say anything. Unpatriotic weaklings.
Of course the State Department is “finding documents” they could not
find before. The FBI is now involved. Who wants to be the state department
employee holding the bag for Clinton and corrupt state department employees?
Actually, it is more like a fledgling Democrat totalitarian government on display - of which Hillary will do her best to increase, or, with Bernie at the helm, will be instituted at all costs.
"It was gone."
"Hey, it's gotta work better than the truth."
There’s much to be said for that, even though State is basically liberal there are a lot more career people than political hacks.
When is this judge going to get tired of the delays and stalls and start charging people with obstruction of justice.
Soon would be good, sooner would be ideal.
D’oh!!
They’ll be finding Clinton documents for the next 200 years or more.
My take is that Obama has instructed State to look a little harder. I think he’d prefer Sanders/Warren. How many years does Sanders have left? Warren would probably have a pretty big role.
I don’t know about everyone else, but that’s what I pay taxes for.....
so some State Department employee can ignore me and work for the Democrat Party.
Where did this kind of stuff used to happen?
Oh.....that’s right.....the Communist Party in The Soviet Union.
so some State Department employee can ignore me and work for the Democrat Party.
Bad enough that some state dept puke is working for the opposition party- worse when same is working against my best interests selling out to the enemies of my country
