White House Seeks to Keep Some Clinton Emails Secret

WASHINGTON — The White House will try to block the release of a handful of emails between President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, citing longstanding precedent invoked by presidents of both parties to keep presidential communications confidential, officials said Friday.

The State Department discovered the emails between Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton as part of its effort to release the former secretary’s emails, several thousand more of which were scheduled to be made public on Friday. Mr. Obama’s correspondence was forwarded for review to the White House, which has decided against release.

That decision could intensify the political struggle between Mrs. Clinton, who is running for president, and congressional Republicans, who have pressed for disclosure of her emails as part of an investigation into the administration’s handling of the attacks on an American compound in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012.

The contents of the emails between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama have not been disclosed, but their presumed existence has not been a secret. The White House press secretary, Josh Earnest, acknowledged in March that the two “did have the occasion to email one another” when Mrs. Clinton was serving as the president’s top diplomat.

Put her sorry ass under oath - again.

Doesn’t matter - just ask the Chinese about the emails the White House is withholding. If they have them (I would be shocked if they didn’t), then take her campaign directly to Leavenworth.

It would seem that if these emails were sent to the private server the the Obamanation of Desolation could be in serious violation of the law.

“(I would be shocked if they didn’t),”

You can rest assured that everybody with copies are on their knees praying that she does become the president. Because, they’ll OWN her.

These thousands of emails the commies are turning over have been gone over a thousand times by every commie, shyster “lawyer” on the Clintonistas’ payroll. There is nothing there. All the incriminating emails are gone for good.

Well if it wasn't government business then what is the big deal about releasing it?

So much for transparency. (which we all knew was a lie anyway the moment it was spoken)

This is total BS, considering that the emails were on an UNSECURE SERVER in he first place. What crimes are they trying to hide?

"White House Seeks to Keep Some Clinton Emails Secret..."

.... Emails between the President and Secretary of State? I thought Hillary said she conducted no official business on her "Private" server.

A reminder:

The US Supreme Court ruled that "executive privilege" cannot be invoked to prevent disclosure of evidence of a crime.

Judicial Watch, are you listening? Take it to a friendly judge, and give him/her the opportunity to review the emails and decide whether they are covered by executive privilege.

Oh, BTW...the "expectation of privacy" doesn't cover "private" email, does it?

The Times isn't taking comments on this article.

I want to know how Obama sent emails to this non-secure server. Why didn't they bounce?

What did Obama know and when did he know it?

Romans Nine :" Waste of time until there is a new DOJ not controled by communists."

Given the history of obfiscation, denial , lie , delay , denial , delay, obstruction , lie , etc., etc,of this administration
where Investigator Generals are denied access to IRS / EPA/ NOAA , etc. materials and dqata,
with more obfiscation , delay , denial , lie , delay , denial , obstuction , lie ,.etc.,etc
the Dept. of "JUST-US" is the operational arm of the EXECUTIVE OFFICE , and now I don't expect anything less than more of the same.

The "Statue of Limitations" of individuals in government service should be changed from 7 years , and now be expanded to 10 years
so that treachery and complicity can be addressed, as well as to media-types who represent an extension and voice of the government agencies
who knowingly pass along misinformation , despite information and facts to the contrary.
