President Donald Trump has made it clear to the State Department that he wants to accelerate the release of any remaining Hillary Clinton emails in its possession as soon as possible, according to three sources familiar with the President's thinking.
The sources described the President's interest in the release of the emails -- and the testimony of the FBI informant -- as rooted in a commitment to "transparency," with one source adding that "the law requires cooperation with Congress and the courts."
. In a memo to State Department employees, Tillerson said that the department will commit more resources and workforce to address the long queue of requests.
In a statement to CNN, also after the initial publication of this story, Raj Shah, White House principal deputy press secretary said, "This President wants all federal agencies to meet their obligations under the law and be transparent with the public." The sources also said Trump has expressed frustration with government agencies that have been slow in responding to requests for information that he believes should be public, especially given congressional and court-ordered requests for the information. One source also said this effort is not about any individual or any particular item of evidence. However, both the lifting of the gag order and the effort on the emails involve one political figure who happens to be the President's favorite target: Hillary Clinton.

Two sources said the President's push for transparency is proper protocol. The slow pace has caught the ire of conservative news outlets, which have slammed Tillerson for not doing enough to get Clinton's emails out in the open.

President Trump has to ASK HIS State Department to release Hitlery the noxious, venomous harridan’s emails?
He should start firing people until he finds someone who WILL OBEY ORDERS!
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because except for President Trump, EVERYONE in the District of Corruption is complicit.
I would also like to see Hillary’s raw FBI file accidently leaked. It could make interesting reading.
Answer yes, when He and his boys raided Comey’s office while he was on a wild goose chase out west...
He is letting this all play out, as I said months ago you have to let everyone put their cards on the table and keep climbing until you get to the top...
Obama
game,set, match!
Someone should let him know he runs the State Department now. He should order the release
LOCK HER UP!!!
Exactly, Michael.SF.
Who do these swampsters think they are?
Except the federal government has no authority over Hawaii’s birth certificates. That issue is dead. Quit living in the past. God help us.
Yes, and they are more worried about US citizens seeing the emails than about the fact that the intelligence agencies of every other nation on the planet have already seen them.
He cannot release what does not exist.
So, you think it wise for Sessions to ignore the law and run on raw emotion ? That’s the advice you would give to Trump ?
I hope my President Trump keeps his powder dry and has a personal military grade security detail in the shadows, because if he pushes too hard he will get the JFK treatment from the Deep State,
The swampsters behind the curtain have more power than the president, they own useful idiots like McCain and Schumer, they have the best cold hearted snipers and bomb experts and surface to air missles, psy ops experts who know how to egg on the lunatic fringe and stir social unrest....that's who they think they are
If only we knew who was in charge.
Well, I don't like 'em.
“Why does Trump not tell Sessions to go after any stalling...]
Damn that, Trump needs to do a Washington DC walkthrough.
1. Trump - Catalog and number, EVERY building in DC, that houses federal employees of any kind.
2. Trump - Drive me to number building number 1. You’re Fired!
3. Trump - Take me to number 2! You’re fired!
4. Trump - Take me to number 3.....
