Clinton Struck Deal With Obama State Dept. to Keep Records Private
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 12/14/2017 | Jack Heretik

Posted on 12/14/2017 8:35:28 AM PST by gubamyster

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton struck a deal with the State Department while serving in the Obama administration that allowed her to take ownership of records she did not want made public, according to recently released reports.

Clinton and her then-deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin were permitted to remove electronic and physical records under a claim they were "personal" materials and "unclassified, non-record materials."

Judicial Watch made the revelation after filing a FOIA request with the State Department and obtaining a record of the agreement.

The newly released documents show the deal allowed Clinton and Abedin to remove documents related to particular calls and schedules, and the records would not be "released to the general public under FOIA." Abedin, for instance, was allowed to remove electronic records and five boxes of physical files, including files labeled "Muslim Engagement Documents."

The released records included a list of designated materials that "would not be released to the general public under FOIA" and were to be released "to the Secretary with this understanding."

Electronic copy of "daily files" – which are word versions of public documents and non-records: speeches/press statements/photos from the website, a non-record copy of the schedule, a non record copy of the call log, press clips, and agenda of daily activities

Electronic copy of a log of calls the Secretary made since 2004, it is a non-record, since her official calls are logged elsewhere (official schedule and official call log)

Electronic copy of the Secretary’s "call grid" which is a running list of calls she wants to make (both personal and official)

16 boxes: Personal Schedules (1993 thru 2008-prior to the Secretary’s tenure at the Department of State.

The Clintons’ clearly have many deep moles within the DC establishment, FBI, and surveillance agencies

I do not doubt they have information on Obama and his background which makes him agreeable to their schemes.

Charge them with TREASON.

Try them.

Execute them.

I guess we will have to wait for Sessions to “spring” his trap of millions of sealed indictments. There is no excuse for these actions. They are Treasonous and Seditous. More whitewash by Sessions and his team.
