Associated Press Threatens Legal Action Over Request for Hillary Clinton Information
NY Times ^ | MARCH 4, 2015 | RAVI SOMAIYA

The Associated Press said Wednesday that it was considering legal action over unfulfilled Freedom of Information Act requests for government documents covering Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

In its requests, the AP asked for her full schedules and calendars and for details on the State Department’s decision to grant a special position to a longtime Clinton aide, Huma Abedin, among other documents. The oldest request, the news organization said, was made in March 2010.

“We believe it’s critically important that government officials and agencies be held accountable to the voters,” said AP’s general counsel, Karen Kaiser. “In this instance, we’ve exhausted our administrative remedies in pursuit of important documents and are considering legal action.”

Wow, when have you ever seen the MSM go after a fellow traveler with this much spirit and will? The left definitely wants to take Hillary out, but at whose command are they all doing this? This isn’t happening in a vacuum. Someone is giving the media their marching orders.

AP trying to keep the story going? This is looking more like an administration take down on her to get their own candidate nominated.

AP has been very patient. Now they smell blood in the water.

I think Hildabeast has lost that "new car smell".

Hillary Clinton is a highly-corrupt, ethically-challenged, blatantly lying individual who is destined to become the next President of the United States. That is unless we can resurrect Ronald Reagan.

Wonder if there are any hints where the missing $6 billion dollars from the State Department has gone in any of those emails

Hilary is TOAST.

God has intervened and used her Obama and liberal “friends” to out her......this is going to become more gory by the day, and the sharks are circling.....so much for her “inevitability.”

Now, who is going to be raised up to be her replacement......??????

Oh my first thought from the headline was they were seeking legal action because someone else asked for documents....in an attempt to protect her.
