Report: Obama White House Orchestrated Clinton Email Cover Up
pjmedia.com ^ | 05-13-2019 | By Matt Margolis

According to newly released emails obtained by Judicial Watch, the Obama White House was tracking a December 2012 Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) records request concerning Hillary Clinton’s unsecured, private email server. These new emails prove that the Obama White House knew about the scandal earlier than previously admitted, and attempted to cover it up.

Months after the Obama White House got involved, “the State Department responded to the FOIA requestor, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), falsely stating that no such records existed.”

Our discovery is centered upon whether Clinton intentionally attempted to evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by using a non-government email system and whether the State Department acted in bad faith in processing our FOIA request for communications from Clinton’s office. U.S District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordered Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides, as well as E.W. Priestap, to be deposed or answer written questions under oath. The court ruled that the Clinton email system was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”

The State Department’s Office of Inspector General issued a report in January 2016 saying: “At the time the request was received, dozens of senior officials throughout the Department, including members of Secretary Clinton’s immediate staff, exchanged emails with the Secretary using the personal accounts she used to conduct official business.” Also, the IG “found evidence that [Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills] was informed of the request at the time it was received …”

“These documents suggest the Obama White House knew about the Clinton email lies being told to the public at least as early as December 2012,” said Judicial Watch in a statement. “A federal court granted us discovery into the Clinton emails because the court wanted answers about a government cover-up of the Clinton emails. And now we have answers because it looks like the Obama White House orchestrated the Clinton email cover-up.”

Hillary Clinton was Obama’s heir apparent to the White House, and in addition to protecting her from the inquiry into her unsecured email, Obama’s Justice Department spied on Donald Trump’s campaign. The origin of this spying is currently under investigation.

Where are her emails?
I thought the NSA was capturing EVERYTHING

They don’t just exist on her computer- they exist on the server(s), and on the computer of whoever she sent them to.

Until needed.

Obama isn't going anywhere...........that isn't posh that is. It's guaranteed that his lackeys will fall on their swords, or be Fostered for him before he takes the fall for anything.

All you are going to here from Bammy is "I had no Knowledge of that". And when he starts his denials no one in the media willl ever remember him saying that he's smarter than everyone else and knows everything that happens before he is told.

It’s is absolutely beyond comprehension that Obama wasn’t in on it since day one.

Obama gets to keep his BlackBerry.

Yep, they were up to no good from the get-go.

Realist. Not pessimist. Who in our government would have the stones to go after the Clintons and a former President.

No one. Will never happen. Just like the wall.

Had Richard Nixon been a Democrat, no one would have ever heard of Watergate.

Unquestionably true. Woodward and Berstein would have praised him. (Its interesting that their Deep Throat source was an associate director of....you guessed it...the FBI!)

Funny that at the end of his life, Clinton was probably Nixon’s best friend.

Nixon accomplished more of the liberal agenda than probably any other President.

Not only would Woodward and Bernstein praised him, they would have participated in the cover up, if asked. Bernstein would have been especially eager.

LOL! True that. The two have exposed themselves as partisan hacks of the lowest order.
