Republicans to query firms that ran Clinton’s private server

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has discovered nearly 15,000 unrevealed documents linked to the email scandal surrounding Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, US media reports said on Monday (Aug 22). Judicial Watch sues under public records law – there were by March of a year ago 10 active Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuits against the State Department related to Clinton’s emails, so no, there probably will not be an end to Judicial Watch’s pursuit of Clinton records.

More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State gave money either personally or through companies or groups to the Clinton Foundation.

“After the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice whitewash of the Clinton email crimes, they certainly can not be trusted to quickly or impartially investigate Hillary Clinton’s new crimes, which happen all the time”.

Responding to the Judicial Watch press release in a statement, Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin pointed out, “The emails themselves show that nothing happened here”.

Later in the email exchange she express concern, “I got this now, makes me nervous to get involved but I’ll ask”.

“Urgent question as it relates to security and asks to speak with you bf you meet with the PM”, Graham said in a message on February 8, 2012.

“But Monday brought plenty of dirt from yet another stash of e-mails, ones that top Hillary aide Huma Abedin sent or received on her Clinton email and other non-State accounts”.

Clinton, who was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, had claimed she deleted only personal emails prior to returning more than 55,000 pages of her work-related messages to the State Department previous year.

The State Department has promised to publish the documents and on Monday assured federal Judge James E. Boasberg, who is hearing the case, that the department is “giving priority” to reviewing the new e-mail messages. These could be duplicates of previously released emails, attachments, or other personal emails that were appropriately withheld.

The Washington Post reports that access to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton may have been influenced by donations to the Clinton Foundation when she was secretary of state.

“State has not yet had the opportunity to complete a review of the documents to determine whether they are agency records or if they are duplicative of documents State has already produced through the Freedom of Information Act” said Toner, declining further comment.

The State Department lawyers and Judicial Watch foundation – a conservative, non-partisan foundation which disclosed Clinton’s emails – said earlier this month in a court filing that they wanted to negotiate a plan for the new emails’ release. “There were too many troubling questions and awkward appearances regarding Clinton Foundation donors receiving special access while she was secretary of state”, it said.

Three of those several thousand emails were classified at the time they were sent or received, he said.

Among them is a June 23, 2009, message to Abedin from Doug Band, a longtime aide to former President Bill Clinton who then was an official at the Clinton family’s charitable foundation.

A federal judge has set a deadline for the State Department to review almost 15,000 of Hillary Clinton’s emails as secretary of state, saying it should do so by September 22, in a new development that could bring crucial implications for the presidential election.

“Lamar Smith (R-Texas), chairman of the US House Science, Space, and Technology Committee issued subpoenas today with the support of US Sen”. Clinton has long said that she never knowingly handled secrets on her private system.

“Jimmy, my emails are so boring”, Clinton told Kimmel.

“There was no impropriety”, Toner said. The data sought, he said, is “critical to. informing policy changes in how to prevent similar email arrangements in the future”.

Powell, for his part, has also said he has “no recollection” of the reported dinner party conversation.
