Trump State Department Fights to Keep Clinton Benghazi E-mails Secret
The New American ^ | 08 May 2017 | Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.

Candidate Donald Trump said of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal, “This corruption and collusion is just one more reason why I will ask my attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor.” He later upped the ante with the declaration, “She has to go to jail.” Now, it appears that the Trump State Department is working to keep the e-mails secret.

On May 5, Judicial Watch issued a press release announcing that U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered the U.S. Department of State to turn over to the watchdog organization "eight identical paragraphs" of previously redact material in two September 13, 2012, Hillary Clinton e-mails regarding 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 e-mails had the subject line "Quick Summary of POTUS Calls to Presidents of Libya and Egypt" and were among the e-mails stored on Clinton’s unofficial e-mail server.

Nothing in the article supports your conclusion. Keeping information secret is standard procedure in all investigations.

He needs a SWAMP DRAINING CZAR, who is NOT a related to him in ANY way at all and believes, 100%, in what was said during the primarfy and general election seasons.

How come we STILL do not know OFFICIALLY what the United States government was doing in Benghazi?

I mean.. WEIRD, YA KNOW? Whatever it was, it was BAD, like 'BIRTHING ISIS' BAD.

0dungsh*t was hot and heavy to ILLEGALLY bomb the cr*p out of Libya without Consent of Congress.. Almost as if he was PREPPING THE PLAYING FIELD FOR HOARDS OF MUSLIMS TO MORE EASILY CONQUER THE EU VIA ITALY OR SOMETHING..

What makes you so sure of that? Isn’t my explanation at least plausible?

My first voting criteria for 2016 was “no Hillary”.

Sure wish I could see more of my goals #2 - #100 addressed.

Trump State Department Fights to Keep Clinton Benghazi E-mails Secret

Trump has a State Department?

Who knew?

Exactly when did he fire all the RAT-hacks and replace them with competent people?

I did not care for the wording of the headline either.

But FR rules require posting the headline as is.

Clearly, these are Clinton/Obama holdovers playing the now it’s classified, now it’s not game.

I’m not, but then we have seen major progress already.

We’ll see more.

Over the eight years Obama was in office, folks got used to picking at every little thing.

Now their day isn’t complete without picking at every little thing.

It doesn’t matter than we’re making major strides in things we have wanted for 30 years or more.

These folks don’t see it. They are blinded by vapors of scandals that simply don’t exist.

They convince themselves they are the most Conservative of Conservatives, while doing exactly what the Democrats want them to do here.

They couldn’t find their ass with both hands, and good news as abundant as that, they can’t find it either.

Here’s a link to the Judicial Watch press release:

http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/court-rules-state-department-must-release-clinton-emails-detailing-obama-response-benghazi/

This article in The New American is just a rehash of the JW news release.

You used to be a "friend"...a good one...but unlike you, I shan't attack YOU, as you did me ( a while back )....yet; out of our old "friendship".

"Good things" are nice; however, they are NO "compensation" for blatant, mordant STUPIDITY about other things. One set of things should never satisfy, when other things stink on ice and are easily avoidable.

You have developed a severe, almost terminal case of a PROJECTION COMPLEX; sadly.
