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 content is one thing, but just the fact these emails exist should be major news.

It should also disqualify her from holding future public office, but it won’t.

Emails from HRD@clinton.com to the president proves he knew she was using the Clinton.com email. And nobody has even asked the white house if Obama knew.

Maybe if we woo China, they will release their copies of the emails? Congress should be able to have access to all of the emails that were sent and received on a non secured server, yes?

So. Obama was communicating with Clinton via the private server of which he had no knowledge?

After the Clinton presidency they destroyed emails under court order. From that point on, all the D have alt accounts and servers. Not going to put treasonous info on a Gov’t server.

Over 200 Hillary emails contain classified information.

We’re either a country of laws or a two bit banana republic..

Which means that Obama is using Hillary to hide his skullduggery.

So from all the thousands of emails they’ve recovered so far, are you telling me that not a single one was from Barry?

So some of the emails on a none secured server might be classified? Who would have thought?
