State Dept. IG Confirms FOIA Fraud by Hillary Clinton and Obama State Dept.
Inspectors general offices (OIG) are established under federal law at federal agencies as "independent and objective units within most agencies. Their duties are to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in the programs and operations of their respective agencies." Under the Obama administration, OIG independence has been attacked, and many IG vacancies have gone unfilled, as we've detailed in our New York Times best seller, The Corruption Chronicles. Obama subversionaside, OIG reports can serve the public interest.
Along those lines, the State Department's OIG yesterday released a report regarding the Hillary Clinton email scandal and the mishandling of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the State Department. Our statement, below, gives you an idea of how devastating it is for Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators in the Obama administration:
The Clinton email scandal is worsening. Today's State OIG report confirms what we've been saying all along - that Hillary Clinton and the Obama State Department thwarted specific Judicial Watch FOIA requests by lying about her email system with "inaccurate" and "incomplete" responses. The State Department OIG report is half-baked but nonetheless devastating in laying out the violations of law and regulations by Hillary Clinton and her then-Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills. Judicial Watch plans to share this report with several federal courts considering our requests for discovery about the Clinton email issue. The OIG admits it still doesn't know the extent of the inaccuracies and other violations of FOIA and correctly suggests that officials could be held in contempt of court for FOIA fraud. This is exactly why Judicial Watch is asking the courts for discovery, which could include putting current and former Obama administration officials under oath. Judicial Watch wants to know the facts behind Hillary Clinton's and the Obama State Department's purposeful thwarting of FOIA so we can be sure that all of the emails from her illicit email system are reviewed and released to the public as the law requires.
Judicial Watch is asking for discovery concerning Hillary Clinton's emails in three separate FOIA lawsuits against the State Department:
Lawsuit against Secretary of State John Kerry to force action on Clinton emails
Lawsuit for records of talking points given to Ambassador Rice regarding the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya
Lawsuit for records on State Department's "Special Government Employment" status for Clinton aide Huma Abedin
Notably, the OIG specifically cites our Benghazi and Abedin FOIA requests listed above as being thwarted by the Clinton State Department's FOIA fraud. The OIG report also points the finger at Hillary Clinton's then-Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills for supervising an "incorrect" no-records response to the left-wing watchdog CREW's request asking about Hillary Clinton email accounts! (Ironically, CREW was founded by the Clinton-gang as an alternative to JW!) We've seen this game before from Mills. Recall that Cheryl Mills was excoriated by a federal judge for another email scandal in our lawsuit against Hillary Clinton over the Clinton FBI (Filegate) scandal. We warned about Cheryl Mills back in 2009:
During the course of its "Filegate" litigation against the Clinton White House, which pilfered the private FBI files of former Reagan and Bush staffers, Judicial Watch uncovered more than 1.8 million email communications the Clinton White House withheld from Judicial Watch, federal investigators and members of Congress.
In this case, as is typical for Washington, there was a cover-up to match the crime. When White House computer contractor (and JW client) Betty Lambuth discovered the email communications, high-level White House officials instructed her to keep her mouth shut about the hidden e-mail or face dismissal and jail time. They issued the same threat to other White House contractors aware of the hidden email. (This makes the Bush administration email scandal, however troubling, seem like tiddlywinks by comparison.)
Judicial Watch's discovery resulted in a six-month federal court hearing into the email scandal, during which Clinton officials were deposed, including Cheryl Mills. Mills was, in fact, aware of the missing White House emails but "assumed" someone else was handling the matter.
In an April 28, 2008, ruling in the email scandal, Judge Royce C. Lamberth called Cheryl Mills' participation in the matter "loathsome." He further stated Mills was responsible for "the most critical error made in this entire fiasco... Mills' actions were totally inadequate to address the problem." (Unfortunately, Judge Lamberth ruled there was no evidence of a conspiracy or obstruction of justice.)
Loathsome and totally inadequate. Say hello to the new Chief of Staff for the Secretary of State, ladies and gentlemen.
Is it credible that Cheryl Mills and Hillary Clinton (who paid her lawyers every day to participate in that amazing email hearing before Judge Lamberth) were ignorant of email record-keeping issues?
Much of the media would have you think the Clinton email scandal is fading. Hardly. See the story below for more.

It would just be so much easier for her to bury this if she were in the oval office. Hence, the rabid effort.
Yep, I pray the FBI are going to recommend charges be brought against Hillary to DOJ due to their investigation. I doubt DOJ will file charges but it’ll put 0bama and Loretta Lynch on the spot and sure won’t help Hillary.
Excellent!
From your mouth to God’s ear, my FRiend!
This Fabian Socialist Harridan needs to be in prison!

It sounds like Huma will be leaving the country very soon and will not get to be first lady after all.
All legal action must be timed to remove her from the race and still not make it possible for O to pardon her.
H & H will be heartbroken. :)
Yes I doubt Loretty will indict Killary but it will sure create a chitstorm especially if Comey resigns over it. Might be enough to force her out of the race.
Would love to see her have to drop out in disgrace.
Mills is one of Hillary’s most loyal flying monkeys.

********************************************************************************
I think that Obama will certainly pardon her and thousands (and perhaps millions...and I’m not kidding, Obama could be having operatives now compiling databases with names of ‘RAT friendly felons who could be counted upon to vote ‘RAT) of others.
And don’t think it couldn’t happen. It would be one of the few constitutionally allowed actions that he has been taken to weaken America and destroy our institutions. It would be his final FU thrown out to America and Americans.
Jake Sullivan,key flunkie player, will he take one for Hillary! or squeal to make it easier on himself?

And a Comey resignation would add a golden star to his reputation, allow him to go down in history as a Righteous & Couragious man...to say nothing of burnishing his resume and enhancing his future earning potential.
