Friday on CSPAN, Gawker executive editor for investigative journalism John Cook said they are filing the papers for a lawsuit later today or Monday, against the State Department for their “Nixonian” “conspiracy at the highest levels of the State Department to frustrate” FOIA requests.
Cook explained that it was hard to accept.
“It could be that there is a conspiracy at the highest levels of the State Department to frustrate this process,” he said. “[I]t is just shocking to me to find out that there actually was, that dark impulse. Are they really trying, was there really an effort to keep these things from reaching the public domain? And clearly, in the case of Hillary Clinton and her senior aides, there was.”
“So, we are filing, probably today, a lawsuit prepared by two attorneys we are working with in Washington DC. So, we have one active request with the State Department, which is for email correspondence between one of Hillary Clinton’s top aides and reporters at about 34 news organizations,” he explained.
Cook added, “We know there was a plot at the highest levels of the State Department to shield email communications from senior staffers. Remember, this is not just Hillary Clinton. One of her top aides also had a Clinton.com address.”

Gawker, run by Nick Denton, is Social Justice Warrior hell. Hope they lose a lot of money fighting this.
Enemy of my enemy, brah.
Hey, Gawker. You’re a bit behind the times. Nixon isn’t running the State Department any longer. John Kerry is.
Isn’t Gawker mostly a gay techie mag..?
Wow, Obama and the Clintons pissing off some really unusual people...
Barak Obama is.
Nowadays the Establishment is composed of willing and anti-American aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological litter -- Obama is one. I thought Gawker was one also.
Everyone needs to stop using Nixon as the standard for abuse of presidential power. Obama eclipsed him long ago.
Nixonian? Obamaesque maybe.
But "Nixonian" Just rolls off the tongue so well. Also, Dems understand the term. In the future, we'll refer to abuses of power like this as "Obamanesque". That is, if we still have the freedom to think and/or speak freely in the future.
Nixonian? Tricky Dick was Mary Poppins compared with this gang of domestic terrorists.
Yep Gawker Media is as liberal as it comes. I challenge any normal american to read Jezebel and not come out throwing up. So to me this is hilarious, Gawker and Obama can both burn.
Hah.
The naifs at Gawker find out just how bad the people in the government really are.
Welcome to Reality, kiddies. Now you know what we’ve been talking about.
Not “Nixonian,” but “Clintonian!”
Clinton was a master of spineless, lawyerly doublespeak & gobbledegook. I was always certain that Hillary was behind all of the most down & dirty exploits of every single Clintonian fraud and lie.
Bill was the soft face of the evil that is Hillary.

Nixon was a patriot who loved America.
