Full title: Judicial Watch: Secretary of State John Kerry Seeks to Delay Federal Lawsuit to Force Action on Clinton Emails
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that Secretary of State John Kerry asked a court to delay by nearly 40 days his obligation to answer a Judicial Watch lawsuit that seeks to force Kerry to take steps to “recover emails of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton” and other U.S. Department of State employees ( Judicial Watch, Inc. v. John F. Kerry (No. 1:15-cv-00785)). Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit on May 28, and the State Department is obligated to answer the complaint on August 7, but the State Department is seeking an extraordinary 38 more days to answer the complaint.
Judicial Watch notes in its opposition to the delay that Kerry has already had 60 days to respond to the Judicial Watch lawsuit. Judicial Watch notes that the concerns about unsecured classified information on Clinton’s email system increases the urgency of the issue:
This case involves the removal and ongoing failure to recover agency records. Nearly every day brings new, startling revelations of possible destruction of these records and Defendant’s continuing failure to recover them. See Exh. B (Michael S. Schmidt, No Copies of Clinton Emails, Lawyer Says , N.Y. Times, July 24, 2015). Even more disturbing, many of which apparently contain classified information. See Exh. C (Michael S. Schmidt and Matt Apuzzo, Hillary Clinton Emails Said to Contain Classified Data , N.Y. Times, July 24, 2015). While Defendant would like 98 days to fashion a response to the Complaint, time is of the essence in taking action to recover these records.
Kerry argues to delay the lawsuit by consolidating it with a case brought by Cause of Action Institute. The Cause of Action lawsuit argues the same legal theory as Judicial Watch’s lawsuit, was filed nearly six weeks after Judicial Watch filed its complaint, and raises no new legal issues that require 38 days of legal work.
Judicial Watch attorneys note to the Court that if the two lawsuits against Kerry are so similar that they require consolidation, then Secretary should be able to respond to both complaints next week. Consolidating two or more lawsuits is supposed to be used “avoid unnecessary cost or delay” under federal court rules.
While at the State Department, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton conducted official government business using unsecured email server and email accounts. Her top aides and advisors also used non-“state.gov” email accounts to conduct official business. Clinton left office February 1, 2013.
Judicial Watch sued Kerry after the State Department failed to take action on a letter to Kerry “notifying him of the unlawful removal of the Clinton emails and requesting that he initiate enforcement action pursuant to the FRA,” including working through the Attorney General to recover the emails.
“Secretary of State Kerry and the Obama administration are obstructing the courts at every turn on the Clinton email scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Secretary Kerry doesn’t want to answer to the public or to the court about why he hasn’t taken steps required by law to secure Hillary Clinton’s emails, which he knows includes unsecured classified material. The law requires quick action and our lawsuit may be the best vehicle for finally forcing action to recover and preserve all the government documents and classified information Mrs. Clinton is unlawfully keeping.”
I see this rising as the “French Revolution” “ The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, experienced violent periods of political turmoil..”
This is a revolution we are watching and participating in. We are overthrowing !!!
Give them more time. Hell, they’ve only had nearly three years to destroy evidence.
Some legal insights here. I hate Kerry and Hillary, but some realities here.
Such delays are routinely granted.
JW saying Kerry is asking for the delay is a bit of a stretch. Yes, it’s done in his name, but this is not something he personally asked for. It’s routine lawyer deal. Don’t be upset if it’s granted.
Cause of Action is not very well known outside DC. They are not nearly as well known as, nor do they seek as much publicity as JW. However, here in DC, they are well known as; #1: Very Conservative, #2 Very good lawyers, and #3 Exceptionally well funded.
Popcorn time.
In the case of John Kerry, he is dumb as dogshit but he has been tutored as a lying but shrew politician by the Massachusett political machine of hardcore leftists, as well as helped by Sen. William J. Fulbright (one of the top racists in the Senate).
Kerry is incompetent, period. His gaffes way surpass his accomplishments and he has gotten more leftist and braindead as he has moved up the Democrat Party foodchain from bottom dweller to sea scum sucker.
The reds knew how to handle him, starting in Paris in 1970 and the Iranian mullahs are far smarter than him and Obama and the whole damned White House staff combined.
He gives the word “DUPE” a totally whole new meaning which most sane people cannot even comprehend.
A smart person wouldn’t carry out acts of treason like he has but he is so mentally warped that he doesn’t even recognize what he has done, or care.
Like Obama, in Kerry’s world, everything he does is “Me, Me, Me”. He has an ego the size of an elephant’s gas filled stomach and colon, only superseded by Hillary and Obama.
Hillary is a leftist doucebag and knows it. Obama is the ultimate psychopath, narcissist, egomaniac and doesn’t know it or care. That is why he surrounds himself with hardcore Marxists and politically preening egoists. They will always bow down and tell the emperor how great he looks and how smart he is.
Reminiscent of the French Revolution of 1789.
Michelle is “Marie Antoinette” in that she is more of a “let them starve” in the schools instead of letting them eat the “cake” that tastes good.
Where the hell is Robespierre now that we need him?
When it comes to ferreting out government corruption I’m a believer in equal opportunity and investigating those involved with the highest zeal without regard to politics or Party.
Corruption needs exposed and excised.
Is he incompetent, or is he, like Obama, is he rather smart and using that intelligence to try to destroy the America we love and he hates?
This is not a revolution:
This is a revolution:
Any questions?
Exactly!
And just what does he do with his contempt? Turn it over to the “Dept. of Justice”? Make me laugh.
Hope the judge holds the slug to the timeframe with no delay granted.
