Trump Wants State Department to Release Remaining Clinton Emails
CNN ^ | CNN Updated 7:35 PM ET, Fri October 27 | Gloria Borger

Posted on 10/27/2017 6:02:53 PM PDT by drewh

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.

I would also like to see Hillary’s raw FBI file accidently leaked.
-
I was going to say “that would fill several rooms,” then I remembered it’s the FBI we’re talking about. Hillary’s file will be a couple of sheets of paper, mostly copies of awards she’s gotten, and maybe a copy of the withdrawn “Madame President” magazine and VHS tape of her greatest achievements.

Agree.

Kenya. Hawaii. A second hospital in Hawaii. Seattle. Somewhere else entirely. Who knows?

I want to see not just the BC, but all relevant documents: Passports, SAT, LCAT, bar exam, college transcripts, college records, some actual writing samples (assuming he ever wrote anything), draft card, Social Security records (particularly the application and where and when it was filed), etc.

Wants????????? WTF??? He is the President. How about: TRUMP ORDERS RELEASE OF HILLARY E-MAILS

Bingo! We have a winner. It only took 17 posts for someone to state the obvious.

Then he’s actually stating this to build up the suspense.
Just like he wanted the FBI to release who paid for the dossier although he already knew. I think this means it’s coming soon.

Donald Trump is the POTUS to whom the U.S. State Department answers. Just order the release of the emails and fire people who disregard the order.

Who could order such a thing?

But, why not get whatever there is, just to prove how fake it is, AGAIN?

No one that matters cares, that is why we will never hear of it again.

Except the federal government has no authority over Hawaii’s birth certificates.

That is pure balderdash. The authenticity of Obama's birth certificate is a federal issue period. If he presented, or allowed to be presented, a forgery as authentic that is a Federal Crime, period.
