WASHINGTON – The State Department has delivered only seven of nearly 70 pages of documents that a federal judge identified as potentially responsive to an Associated Press request for documents relating to Hillary Rodham Clinton's hiring of longtime aide Huma Abedin as a special government contract staffer.
The department's response contained only five email documents, two of them partially censored.
Meanwhile, government lawyers asked another federal judge to delay releasing thousands of pages of documents, sought by news media and legal and political organizations, from Clinton's tenure as secretary of state until January 2016.
The State Department's request to delay its release of emails and other Clinton-related documents raised the prospect that significant information about her tenure as secretary of state might not surface until after early Democratic Party presidential nomination contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Impatient with years of previous delays from the State Department over requests by the AP for emails and documents from Clinton and several of her top aides, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon set a strict schedule for release of the material last month. It included an order to deliver to the AP all uncensored portions of an estimated 68 pages of documents related to Abedin by Tuesday. The AP sued the State Department last March because of delays stretching back to 2013 in the news agency's efforts to obtain documents about Clinton's diplomatic stint under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.

Some nobody clerk in Kentucky was recently sent to prison for failing to heed a judge’s directive. I wonder what will happen to the responsible party at State who is failing to heed this judge’s directive.
As far as I’m concerned, the judge is as complicit as any Democrat.
The probe of Huma Abedin contained evidence she falsified, then filed, official timesheets charging the government for impermissible overtime and excessive hours after she converted from a fulltime federal employer to a State Department contractor.
Huma's timecards were falsified and filed during a period of time that remains under investigation over questions about possible conflicts of interest, via documents gathered by State Dept inspectors general.
BTW, did Hillary sign-off on records she knew to be falsified?
Remember, students of govt corruption....falsifying official documents is the chosen method used to cover-up larger crimes.
LAUGH BREAK Huma says "she did not know" about the embezzled $33,000 b/c Anthony didn't tell her about it.
The Libs are laughing at these Judges. Hanen, Leon, etc... They have no intention of ever complying with these orders. They will play it out until everything is moot. First person they throw in jail will break the logjam. Until then there is no hope.
What difference, at this point, does it make? The Sociopath of State, aka Hillaryous Rotten Criminal, has apologized. Why is the vast right-wing conspiracy continuing this war on women?
Try paying a portion of your taxes and see what happens.
What a surprise! “Delay, delay, delay.” This is on the tape Gennifer Flowers made of the ex-president Hillbilly Whorehopper.
I’m forced to wonder what part our State Department has played in the ongoing Muslim diaspora into Europe...and what part Clinton and her ‘aide’ played in that in particular.
The judge should cite John Kerry for contempt of court and lock him up until the judge’s orders ave been met.
Lawlessness. We are “led” by a criminal class of corrupted cretins.
State Department....anti-American curse words.
