State Department Suddenly Discovers Thousands More Clinton Documents
Breitbart ^ | 1-15-16 | John Hayward

Posted on 01/15/2016 2:08:24 PM PST by afraidfortherepublic

Watchdog group Judicial Watch has been trying to squeeze Hillary Clinton’s documents out of the State Department with Freedom of Information Act requests for years. FOIA requests have a way of turning into FOIA lawsuits before any wing of the Obama Administration responds to them.

Last Friday, three years after one such suit was filed, the State Department suddenly discovered thousands of previously undisclosed Clinton documents.

"This latest find of Clinton records, at this late date, is astonishing," Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton declared. "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?"

Fitton also thinks the new documents include some significant information. "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," he said. "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."

Fitton further noted that the State Department's Inspector General recently issued a report finding that responses to information requests about Clinton's email were "inaccurate and incomplete."

It's difficult to see how these inaccurate responses could have been simple mistakes, because the IG report demonstrated that many people who were demonstrably aware of Clinton's secret private email server chose to feign ignorance.

All this does is probably extend Clinton’s indictment farther into the primaries.

So what? If the courts don’t hold people in contempt and fine them, leading to jail if they don’t pay...so what?

Why, these State Department employees act like they are Democrats before they are Americans.

Who else used to act like that?

Oh yeah.....the communists in the old Soviet Union.

If the State Department employees are going to act this way, then let the Democrat Party pay them.

Please let us hear the torrent of excuses about why no one will be held accountable, no one prosecuted, no one fired, no one disciplined in any way.

Of course the Democrats won't do anything and the beaurocrats won't do anything, but Oh! What a surprise - what will the GOP do - nothing as well?
