A federal judge may have just paved the way for Barack Obama AND Hillary Clinton to be put on trial for TREASON.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ordered the State Department to turn over previously redacted information regarding what Obama and Clinton knew about and how they responded to the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi.

My date on the article I posted was my guess and supplied because there was a hanging script at the website.

Allowing a declared enemy (Iran) to amass a nuclear arsenal complete with icbm’s to deliver the bombs to America ( specially when their announced intention is to destroy their “great Satan” — USA — and they’ve specified their first city- targets ) — and then having the USAF and navy protect them -— and threatening war against anyone who might try to stop them —————plus releasing $150 billion that’s funding the new Jew and a bunch of terrorist murder gangsters in iran’s employ ———————treason six times over, imho.

The best thing to do is let the truth come out. That will shame them and destroy any legacy they hoped to have.

I think you're missing the point that the left isn't ashamed of any lie that advances their cause. They LOVE lies. The more corrupt their leaders, the more they love them.

Would the level of treason be topped if the emails discussed the political options of a successful rescue mission vs no rescue mission and the loss of 30+ State Dept and contractor lives.


E-mails that ran through Hillary’s multiple private servers?

She has already stated in public that she “Conducted communications” with other government officials on a separate “System”.

I thought I tried a million times but on 1 million and 1 try I actually did a double back flip and then it was easy and I started working on a triple

Things seem to become easier after you do it once

...."the left isn't ashamed of any lie that advances their cause".....

They have long ago lost any ability to even identify truth...therefore all they have is the fantasies they manufacture in their minds in whatever form it takes.

Because they have turned from God and the truth God sends them a strong 'delusion', so that they may believe what is false....

“nothing’s going to happen.”

I thought that Comey would never be fired.
Cheer up, sometimes good things do happen.

.... Can’t they just file an appeal on the grounds of “National Security” concerns or something?

Indeed — the most scary sellout of our country imaginable — one that the RINO congress was and remains complicit in.

I get the idea that Judicial Watch may be behind the action....not sure/

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It is Judicial Watch ..... here’s a link - scroll down until you see the topic:

Court Rules State Department Must Release Clinton Emails Detailing Obama Response to Benghazi
http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/weekly-updates/weekly-update-big-benghazi-scandal-news/

From the link:

I have some good news on bad news on getting more answers on the Benghazi outrage.

First the good news. We put out word this morning that on March 20, 2017, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered the U.S. Department of State to turn over to Judicial Watch “eight identical paragraphs” of previously redacted material in two September 13, 2012, Hillary Clinton emails. The emails regarded phone calls made by President Barack Obama to Egyptian and Libyan leaders immediately following the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi. Both emails had the subject line “Quick Summary of POTUS Calls to Presidents of Libya and Egypt” and were among the emails stored on Clinton’s unofficial email server. Judge Jackson reviewed the documents directly and rejected the government’s contention that the records had been properly withheld under the FOIA B(5) “deliberative process” exemption.

Judge Jackson ruled: “the two records, even if just barely predecisional, are not deliberative. [The State Department] has pointed to very little to support its characterization of these two records as deliberative, and the Court’s in camera review of the documents reveals that they do not fall within that category.”

The full emails may reveal what former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama knew about the September 11, 2012, terror attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.

Now the bad news!

Immediately following Judge Jackson’s March 20 ruling, the State Department asked the court to reconsider. The State Department argued that, due to an internal “mistake,” it failed to claim that the emails were classified and, therefore, exempt from production under FOIA Exemption B(1).

You won’t be surprised to learn our attorney team went back to court to oppose this gambit. Our brief argues that the failure was not a mistake, but instead was part of a deliberate effort by the State Department to protect Clinton and the agency by avoiding identifying emails on Clinton’s unofficial, non-secure email server as classified.

Our filing cites an interview of an FBI employee who told federal investigators that top State Department official Patrick Kennedy pressured the FBI to keep Clinton’s emails unclassified. The employee told the FBI he “believes STATE ha[d] an agenda which involves minimizing the classified nature of the CLINTON emails in order to protect STATE interests and those of CLINTON.”

We also cite to an interview of a State Department employee who told the FBI that the State Department’s Office of Legal Counsel interfered with the FOIA processing of email from Secretary Clinton’s server, instructing reviewers to use Exemption B(5) (deliberative process exemption) instead of Exemption B(1) (classified information exemption). According to the FBI interview:

STATE’s Near East Affairs Bureau upgraded several of CLINTON’s emails to a classified level with a B(1) release exemption. [Redacted], along with [Redacted] attorney, Office of Legal Counsel, called STATE’s Near East Affairs Bureau and told them they could use a B(5) exemption on a upgraded email to protect it instead of the B(1) exemption. However, the use of the B(5) exemption, which is usually used for executive privilege-related information, was incorrect as the information actually was classified and related to national security, which would be a B(1) exemption.

Judicial Watch argues:

An agency’s deliberate withholding of a FOIA claim, either to gain a tactical advantage or, as appears to be the case here, to protect the agency’s interests and those of its former head, is “a motive undoubtedly inconsistent with FOIA’s broad remedial purpose …” It “counsels denying the Government’s request.”

The emails in question were sent to then-top administration officials, including Clinton, Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, Clinton Deputy Chief of Staff Jacob Sullivan, Special Assistant Robert Russo, and Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough.

I’m sure you share my concern that this potentially historic Benghazi material may never see the light of day thanks to some within the Trump administration. Does President Trump know his State and Justice Departments are still trying to provide cover for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama?”

I can’t believe this extraordinary court ruling that could result in key answers about the Benghazi outrage is being opposed by the Trump administration. This may well be an example of the “deep state” trying to get away with a cover up. If so, then the Trump administration must put a stop to it.

We fought the Obama administration in court repeatedly to uncover the truth about Benghazi that even Congress couldn’t get. Let’s hope the Trump administration appointees understand the stakes and stop fighting us in court (and wasting taxpayer dollars) to defend the indefensible.
