Trade is a hot issue in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. But correspondence from Hillary Clinton and her top State Department aides about a controversial 12-nation trade deal will not be available for public review — at least not until after the election. The Obama administration abruptly blocked the release of Clinton’s State Department correspondence about the so-called Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), after first saying it expected to produce the emails this spring.
The decision came in response to International Business Times' open records request for correspondence between Clinton’s State Department office and the United States Trade Representative. The request, which was submitted in July 2015, specifically asked for all such correspondence that made reference to the TPP.
The State Department originally said it estimated the request would be completed by April 2016. Last week the agency said it had completed the search process for the correspondence but also said it was delaying the completion of the request until late November 2016 — weeks after the presidential election. The delay was issued in the same week the Obama administration filed a court motion to try to kill a lawsuit aimed at forcing the federal government to more quickly comply with open records requests for Clinton-era State Department documents.

Trump is the only screaming right now.
Look for that to happen I predict before the election.
EXACTLY like Obie lying to the American public about Ben Ghazi right before his 2nd election.
Just trying to be an on-going facet of the most open administration - ever.
Can’t the Congress hold them in contempt? Oh, wait...
Trump will handle it,
New batch of crooked Hillary ads on the way!
The outcome of this election will be rigged in Hillary’s favor. The transformation is underway, and the puppeteer is not going to stop pulling the strings when Obama walks out of the white hut. Mark my word.
The corruption from this government and the media is even worse than 2008.
She should be facing charges and instead all the media can do is bring up Trump and a judge or his university , and yet we know Clinton lied, she had her own server, she kept her own e-mails, she lied about that , she lied about Benghazi and not a frigging peep hardly from the media.
THEN SHE HAS TO LOSE!
WOULD THEY TREAT TRUMP or any other (R) the same. HELL NO!
EXACTLY!
Trump should hammer Hillery on this, “what’s in the TPP emails? why won’t you release them? the American public want to know! why aren’t you being open and honest about your views? why release them after the election? what are you afraid of?” etc. etc. all. day. long.
In short, these are plans for more global governance. Of course they have to hide them. And if Hillary gets in, we’d never see them. Only Trump stands between us and the globalists.
“Trump needs to get out there everyday and talk about the massive amount of “stuff” the BO administration feels the need to hide.”
Trump will be the likes of Ryan and the other GOPe types will leave it alone.
You mean the Russians or the Romanians haven't hacked their way into a copy of it? How is it that Snowden doesn't have his hands on one? You mean that there are things in this world that can still be kept secret? Maybe it's that the criminals of this planet want these facts kept secret. Whazzat tell ya!
The GOP hasn’t screamed so they are totally worthless.
Major premise: if the gop doesn’t scream they are totally worthless.
Minor premise: The gop isn't screaming.
Conclusion: the gop is totally worthless.
The State Department has is hands in far too many of the governments’ affairs. Its authority needs to be further restricted by Congress to limit what it can be involved in, particularly with regards those matters regarding the military.
Totally agree! This has been my siren call for a long time. They control so much and are nearly like a shadow government. They are leftist and they have not been elected by the people. They are entrenched. It is time to pull them out with with the biggest, baddest channel locks imaginable! Please Mr. Trump do it, God willing, and I hope He is!!!
