All coordinated.
The assault is on.
Really The government cares little about the excessive paperwork they require my business to waste money on.
I wonder if the FBI has obtained the text messages to/from Clinton’s phone from her cell provider? If they found evidence of crime in the emaime, that would be a logical next step.
They have the power to obtain them, but I don’t know how long those are archived.
It would be physically impossible to text 1 1/2 million pages of documents.
Why is the RNC doing this and not Congress? Don’t we have a Republican-controlled Congress?
“Those emails contain classified material”
Oh really...
So the dodge is that it’s too hard to comply with the law?
Isn’t one of the great tenets of Alinsky to overload the system?
Isn’t another to make your enemy live up to their own ideals?
Well, if you can’t get it from our own government
Ask the Russians.
RNC FOIA...... fantastic
The very absence of communications = guilt
so was the blackberry for yoga and marriage texts only?
otherwise hillary seems guilty of violating FOIA at a minimum.
And presuming the answer given is bogus (sounds bogus to me), the State Department seems subject to court sanctions.
Then, the RNC can keep this going against the State Department seemingly for as long as they want...
EOUSA Resource Manual Section 137 (note: FOIA Section 3.17-150 refers to EOUSA Section 137 for violations)

Judicial Proceedings Against an Agency: The Act provides for federal district court jurisdiction in proceedings brought against an agency to enjoin its withholding of records. See 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552(a)(4)(B). Previously this was subsection (a)(4)(D) of the FOIA, not (c), and it has now been repealed- see Pub.L. No. 98-620, 98 Stat. 3335 (1984).
In addition, amendments to the Act require the government to answer or otherwise plead within 30 days after service, unless an extension is obtained; this halves the 60-day period normally permitted in a federal case. See 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552(a)(4)(C).
In a case brought under FOIA the court determines the matter de novo and may examine the specific agency records in camera to determine whether they should be withheld under any exemption. See 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552(a)(4)(B). The burden is on the government to sustain its action. Id. The court may award reasonable attorney fees and other litigation costs against the government when the complainant substantially prevails. See 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552(a)(4)(E).
Action Against Individual Employees: Sanctions may be taken against individual agency employees who are found to have acted arbitrarily or capriciously in improperly withholding records. Additionally, the court must award attorney fees and other litigation costs against the government.
When the statutory requirements are found by the Court to have been met, the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) must promptly initiate a proceeding to determine whether disciplinary action is warranted against the office or employee who is primarily responsible for the withholding. The MSPB, after investigating and considering the evidence, submits its findings and recommendations to the agency concerned which then is required to take the corrective action recommended by the Board. See 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552(a)(4)(F). Additionally, there now exists independent jurisdiction for such MSPB investigations under 5 U.S.C. Sec. 1206(e)(1) (1982).
Failure to comply with a court order to produce the records in question may also result in punishment for contempt for the responsible employee. See 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552(a)(4)(G).
How about Congress zeroes out funding for the State Department until the information is turned over?
The latest excuse for not looking into illegal activity on the part of libtards, IT’S TOO HARD.
