Surprise, Surprise! More Hillary Clinton Emails!
U.S. Rep. Mike Capuano this morning vehemently defended Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton amid a brouhaha over the release of emails suggesting donors to the Clinton Foundation sought special access to the State Department while she was secretary of state.
In an other email, a Foundation executive wrote to Abedin and Mills asking for help putting a billionaire foundation donor in touch with the US ambassador to Lebanon.
The newly released batch also included an email to Mrs Clinton from Stephen Roach, then-chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, who said he was scheduled to testify to Congress and was “happy to help in any way I can”. Abedin told him, “Personnel has been sending him options”.
The government watchdog organization released almost 300 pages of new emails, which contain almost four dozen email exchanges not previously turned over to the State Department. According to the official, Band was recommending a young person who had done some advance work for Clinton during her 2008 presidential campaign. “She was aware of the [Freedom of Information Act] request about Clinton’s email accounts and allowed a response to go out that was a plain lie”.
“We need Gilbert Chagoury to speak to the substance person re Lebanon”, Band wrote in the email. Abedin responded, “We all have him on our radar”. “I’m sure he knows him”, she said. “I’ll talk to her”, replies Huma Abedin. He has never met or had any contact with Ambassador Feltman.
“Am I not speaking English?”
Judicial Watch said 44 of the emails it released had not been previously handed over to the State Department by Clinton.
The State Department again denied there was a conflict of interest and said a trip Mills took to NY to conduct business for the Clinton Foundation complied with ethics laws.
The news comes shortly after the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Department of Justice made a decision to not to prosecute the Democratic nominee for the misuse of her personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state.
The Clinton campaign said the emails did not relate to her work at the foundation before she became secretary of state.
Media outlets reported this week that Federal Bureau of Investigation officials wanted to investigate whether there was a criminal conflict of interest with the State Department but that the Justice Department pushed back.
The new documents reveal that in April 2009 controversial Clinton Foundation official Doug Band pushed for a job for an associate.
I I. you know will try to clarify after an FBI investigation contradicted numerous statements Clinton made about her E-mail use a Wall Street Journal NBC News poll found that more than half of voters said Clinton does not have the great judgment to be president.
Multiple FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation are now ongoing, according to a former senior law enforcement official and reported by The Daily Caller.
The Justice Department declined to investigate, according to the report, because it had already looked into similar allegations and found there was not sufficient evidence to open a case.
Texas Senator John Cornyn on Friday sent a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch demanding answers about reports the Justice Department blocked an Federal Bureau of Investigation request to investigate the Clinton Foundation.
There is a legitimate possibility that the FBI is investigating Hillary and she could become the president before they can conclude their results.
“Important to take care of [name redacted]”, the email said.
Filton also said that there were 44 emails hidden on objective.
“As I recall, these discussions involved whether Platte River Networks would have the technical capacity and be the appropriate source from which to gather Secretary Clinton’s email from the clintonemail.com system”, Mills said.
