Judicial Watch attorneys obtained blockbuster testimony from former State Department official John Hackett, who was Director for Information Programs and Services (IPS), which handles records management at the State Department, Mr. Hackett testified under oath that he had raised concerns about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s missing emails.
Her staff had “culled out 30,000” of the secretary’s “personal” emails without following strict National Archives standards, he said in his deposition. The full transcript deposition is here.
His testimony came as part of a series of court-ordered depositions and questions under oath of senior Obama-era State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides.
Hackett also revealed that he believed there was interference with the formal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) review process related to the classification of Clinton’s Benghazi-related emails.
Hackett served first as deputy director then as director for Information Programs and Services, which handles the FOIA request program and the retirement of and declassification of documents at the State Department. He was at the department from April 2013 to March 2016.
In March 2015, Clinton told reporters that she and her staff had deleted more than 30,000 emails “because they were personal and private about matters that I believed were within the scope of my personal privacy.” ABC News reported: “However, after a year-long investigation, the FBI recovered more than 17,000 emails that had been deleted or otherwise not turned over to the State Department, and many of them were work-related, the FBI has said.”
Hackett recalled a conversation about requesting rules or parameters from Secretary Clinton or her attorneys that they used to segregate her personal and official work emails.

Multiple people raised concerns, but she ignored it. Tried to blame it on Colin Powell, but then that moron forgave her for claiming so. Seems to me that if you’re continually advised not to do something that could violate security rules, and you do it anyway, and it blows up in your face, you should be held legally accountable. Instead, Comey gave her a pass. I hope that a-hole hangs too.
The trouble with Judicial Watch is that folks keep posting old news as “new”, or “just released”. This article is dated July 3. It makes me ignore their announcements, even though they’re doing good work. It gets tiresome.
You excerpted a press release?
It seems that everyone surrounding HRC while she was Secretary of State knew that she was involved in the illegal transfer of information. And that means dozens of people have been involved in a cover-up.
Why are you excerpting your own threads, posting bot?

Who but a troll excerpts their own press release?
Welcome!
Nice post.
Tell Mr. Fitton hello and thanks.
...
Keep up the good work.
Should I just go ahead and say “boom” so we can move on to another subject without the long anticipation before being demoralized at no indictments again?
There’s no such thing as old news if you’ve never heard it before...................
