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.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation should never have happened.
Makes Watergate look like child’s play. Prosecute traitors.
Obama wishes he was going back to Kenya, Indonesia or wherever he came from, instead of where he is going.
What was the clue? Bill and Loretta on the tarmac wasn’t subtle enough?
We already knew that.
Layers of the onion being peeled away.
DC has become just a huge, global, pay-to-play money-raking scheme.
The players hold great power. Our POTUS (it appears and I deeply hope and pray) is fighting against this bastardization of our government.
We the people must see hangings again.
“We already knew that.”
Here at FR, yes. At almost all other places, no.
Makes Watergate look like child’s play.

The Dems exploited Watergate for many years. They made it out to be the biggest political scandal of all time. Little did they know....
Spygate is going to dwarf Watergate in every way you can think of. The depth of this treason, subversion and corruption is off the charts. THIS will haunt Dems for decades to come.
So I’m President of the USA and my SoS only communicates through email and a blackberry that is connected through her personal server. I have sending her regularly emails about various subjects but no reply. Then all of my other Department Secretary’s start telling me that they are emailing the SoS at her .GOV email but get no response as well. I question in my mind why isn’t she using her .GOV email. I explain to her that this is our primary communication technology but she is evasive and this is only in the first month on my presidency.
This is what most people would be asking themselves if they were in that position. It’s is absolutely beyond comprehension that Obama wasn’t in on it since day one.
Indeed.
When I see this stuff come out in the media, I see it as an admission from the Powers That Be that “here is some stuff that we recognize we can no longer conceal from the public.”
It’s quite a good thing.
80% of America doesn’t.................
An ironic defense for a black Prez, wouldn't you say..?
Obama is a very very bad man(?) ,LOL
That can be flipped around:
“Previous administration was corrupt and treasonous and misused their offices to simply rape the US taxpayer ... and we’re NOT going to hold them accountable?? Hey that’s THIRD WORLD stuff, right there..! America’s going to let that go?!”
Really, this seems like enough to lock up the lot of them. Just get it over with.
agree 10,000%
