Emails published Tuesday by WikiLeaks suggest the Justice Department communicated with Hillary Clinton's campaign as the administration scrambled to deal with the fallout from her use of a private server. Brian Fallon, Clinton's campaign spokesman and a Justice Department alum, wrote in May 2015 that "DOJ folks" had tipped him off to an upcoming status hearing in a high-profile lawsuit that threatened to expose Clinton's 30,000 work-related emails to the public.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) claimed they did all they needed to regarding their search for a former official’s communications with members of Hillary Clinton‘s campaign, but a federal judge disagreed. A ruling in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought by watchdog group Judicial Watch stated that the DOJ’s declaration that discussed their efforts was “incomplete in several respects.” U.S. District Court Judge Dabney L. Friedric‘s ruling was the latest step in the FOIA lawsuit, where Judicial Watch is seeking emails between Obama-era DOJ official Peter Kadzik and former Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, emails between Kadzik...

A top official at Barack Obama’s Department of Justice lied to the inspector general Michael Horowitz about his role in tipping off Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta regarding details of the Clinton criminal investigations. Peter Kadzik lied to the inspector general, which WikiLeaks points out is a criminal offense.

DoJ Assistant Attorney Peter Kadzik outed as a mole for Hillary Clinton campaign. Here's the email: From: *Peter Kadzik* Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2015 Subject: Heads up To: John Podesta There is a HJC oversight hearing today where the head of our Civil Division will testify. Likely to get questions on State Department emails.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A backup data device containing Hillary Clinton’s emails exists in the FBI’s possession. The FBI is now challenged to produce the long forgotten device. The FBI received a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request “VIA CERTIFIED MAIL” Wednesday from Judicial Watch.

Quotes: “There is a HJC oversight hearing today where the head of our Civil Division will testify. Likely to get questions on State Department emails,” - Email from Assistant Attorney General Peter J. Kadzik with a warning to Podesta on Hillary’s emails on May 19, 2015, with the subject line, “Heads up.

"In the first email I found evidence of outright collusion by the Justice Department by Assist. Attorney General Kadzick and John Podesta to protect Hillary Clinton in her email investigation.

A single Wikileaks email [*a*] reveals that Peter Kadzik belongs in jail, not to mention the others who failed to report the crime. Look at all who were in on it: John Podesta personally emailed the tip to: 1. Hillary Clinton 2. Cheryl Mills 3. Another 'id'ed as 'H Samuelson' Mills 4. A number of others who had email accounts in 'Hillary Clinton Dot Com'. Podesta tipped them off that Peter Kadzik [the DOJ bigwig] had given him a 'heads up': [quote] There is a HJC oversight hearing today where the head of our Civil > Division will testify. Likely...

Senior Department of Justice official Peter J. Kadzik, newly exposed by WikiLeaks as colluding with Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, is the same Obama appointee who helped cover up the Internal Revenue Service’s deliberate targeting of conservative and Tea Party groups. It is troubling that Assistant U.S. Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Kadzik is involved in, and possibly overseeing, the Justice Departments’s investigation of the 650,000 potentially sensitive emails found on a laptop computer thought to have been used at home by disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) and his estranged wife, longtime senior Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

A top Justice Department official leaked information to the Clinton campaign about the legal case concerning Hillary Clinton’s secret email server, according to a new email released Wednesday by WikiLeaks that could further taint the administration’s claims of impartiality. Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik sent a heads-up to Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta in May 2015 letting him know the government was going to try to delay posting Mrs. Clinton’s secret emails until 2016. In the message, sent from his private account rather than his government-issued account, he also warned of a looming House hearing where he expected a Justice...

On Monday we were the first to note that Podesta's friend Peter Kadzik was the DOJ representative chosen to head up a "thorough" review of the new Huma Abedin emails as revealed by a letter he wrote to Congress.  Given Kadzik's personal relationship with Podesta, it seemed like a "convenient" choice for the Clinton campaign.  In the letter to Congress, the DOJ writes that it “will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible,” assistant attorney General Peter J. Kadzik writes in letters to House and Senate...

Just like Donna Brazile except its in the FBI.... Assistant Attorney General Peter J. Kadzik shared information about the congressional investigation of Hillary Clinton with his friend John Podesta, according to new emails revealed by WikiLeaks. “There is a HJC oversight hearing today where the head of our Civil Division will testify. Likely to get questions on State Department emails,” he flagged in an email to Podesta on May 19, 2015, with the subject line, “Heads up.” Kadzik also updated Podesta on a FOIA case on Clinton’s emails. “Another filing in the FOIA case went in last night or will...

the Podesta-Kadzik relationship goes much deeper, it turns out, than a conveniently timed D.C. dinner party. Aside from being friends at Georgetown Law School, Kadzik was Podesta’s attorney when Podesta came under scrutiny by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr’s investigation of the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal in the 1990s. Podesta was deputy chief of staff in the White House then, and needed a lawyer, just like everyone who gets tainted by touching the Clintons eventually does. Near the end of the Clinton presidency, Podesta and Kadzik got tied up in another Clinton scandal, according to the Daily Caller. Podesta had been...

The surprise tweet from a little-used FBI account came about 1 p.m. Tuesday, announcing that the agency had published on its website 129 pages of internal documents related to a years-old investigation into former president Bill Clinton’s pardon of a fugitive Democratic donor. The seemingly random reminder of one of the darkest chapters of the Clinton presidency a week before the election drew an immediate rebuke from Hillary Clinton’s campaign — with its spokesman tweeting that the FBI’s move was “odd” and asking whether the agency planned to publish unflattering records about Republican candidate Donald Trump. “Will FBI be posting...

Former President Bill Clinton bent the rules and the law for donors in a questionable quest to get a fugitive billionaire pardoned. That was the chief takeaway from an FBI investigative document released Tuesday by the law enforcement agency. . . . The FBI also noted that Eric Holder, President Obama's former attorney general from 2009 to 2015, was the only Justice Department attorney contacted about the coming pardon when Rich's attorney, Jack Quinn, called him.
