Charles McCullough III CAN YOU PROVIDE THIS COMMITTEE IN A SECURE FORMAT THE CLASSIFIED EMAILS?
>> I CAN TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. I CANNOT PROVIDE A CERTAIN SEGMENT OF THEM BECAUSE THE AGENCY THAT OWNS THE INFORMATION FOR THOSE EMAILS HAS LIMITED THE DISTRIBUTION ON THOSE, SO THEY ARE CHARACTERIZING THEM AS OR ORCON.
>> EXPLAIN THAT.
>> ORIGINATOR CONTROL. I CAN'T GIVE THEM TO YOU WITHOUT AGENCY'S PERMISSION TO PROVIDE YOU.
>> WHICH AGENCY?
>> I CAN'T SAY THAT IN OPEN HEARING, SIR.
>> YOU CAN EVEN TELL ME WHICH AGENCY WON'T ALLOW US AS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO SEE SOMETHING THAT HILLARY CLINTON ALLOWED SOMEBODY WITHOUT A SECURITY CLEARANCE IN A NONPROTECTIVE FORMAT TO SEE, IS THAT CORRECT?
>> THIS IS THE SEGMENT OF EMAILS -- THIS IS WHY MY LETTER BACK TO RANKING MEMBER CUMMINGS HAD TO BE CLASSIFIED BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS SEGMENT OF EMAILS AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE NOT JUST WITH YOU AND YOUR COMMITTEE BUT WITH SEVERAL MEMBERS AT THIS POINT. SO WE HAVE GONE BACK TO THE AGENCY THAT IS INVOLVED SEVERAL TIMES AND WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT AGAIN AND ASK PERMISSION.
>> CAN YOU GENERALLY TELL ME -- BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SENSITIVE ABOUT SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE, HUMAN INTELLIGENCE? WHAT?
>> WE SHOULDN'T GET INTO THE CONTENT OF THESE EMAILS IN AN OPEN HEARING.
>> OKAY. I DON'T WANT TO VIOLATE THAT BUT THE CONCERN IS IT HAS ALREADY BEEN VIOLATED AND WAS VIOLATED BY HILLARY CLINTON AND IT WAS HER CHOICE, SHE SET IT UP AND SHE CREATE THIS PROBLEM AND SHE CREATED THIS MESS. WE SHOWN HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS BUT SHE DID THAT.
>> THIS IS THE SEGMENT OF EMAILS THAT I HAD TO HAVE PEOPLE IN MY OFFICE WRITE INTO PARTICULAR PROGRAMS TO SEE THESE EMAILS. WE DIDN'T POSSESS THE REQUIRED CLEARANCES.
>> EVEN THE INSPECTOR GENERAL DIDN'T HAVE THE CLEARANCE?
>> YES.
>> UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT A MESS. I'LL YIELD BACK. JUDGE FROM MARYLAND,

they should just ask Putin what the emails were all about. I’m sure he knows.
Ask yourself;
WHAT power can stop legal FOIA requests and stop the agencies that PROVIDE the information that complies with a FOIA request ?
None other than the POSOTUS
