(Washington DC) – Judicial Watch today announced that the State Department has agreed to produce to Judicial Watch all emails sent or received by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that were uncovered by the FBI in its investigation of Clinton and her use of the clintonemail.com system:
[T]he FBI completed its transmission to the State Department of documents recovered by the FBI in the course of its investigation in connection with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail system during her time as Secretary of State. State has voluntarily agreed to produce non-exempt agency records responsive to plaintiff’s FOIA request contained in the information transmitted.
The records will be produced in connection with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit before District Court Judge James E. Boasberg specifically seeking all of Clinton’s emails ( Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00687)). Judicial Watch’s FOIA lawsuit seeks:
Any and all emails sent or received by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in her official capacity as Secretary of State during her tenure as Secretary of State.
The timeframe for this request is February 2, 2009 to January 31, 2013.
In a separate filing in another Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit, the State Department acknowledged that an entire disc “containing information recovered by the FBI in the course of its investigation” had not been included “in the materials provided to the State Department by former Secretary Clinton in December 2014.”
Clinton has repeatedly stated that she believes that the 55,000 pages of documents she turned over to the State Department in December 2014 included all of her work-related emails. In response to a court order, she declared under penalty of perjury that she had “directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or are potentially federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done.” This acknowledgment by the State Department is also at odds with her official campaign statement suggesting all “work or potentially work-related emails” were provided to the State Department.
The State Department also stated to the court that the FBI sent “a second disc containing classified documents.”
The State Department is also processing six other discs of records from “custodians other than former Secretary Clinton … including [but not limited to] materials from Ms. Abedin’s clintonemail.com account.” One of the discs of information is so large that State has asked the court for additional time to process them: “Because of the volume of materials located on the final disc, State requires additional time to load them into a document management system so that they can be searched.”
These statements from the State Department result from a FOIA lawsuit before U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Clinton. The lawsuit was reopened because of revelations about the clintonemail.com system. ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)).
“The American people will now see more of the emails Hillary Clinton tried to hide from them,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Simply put, our lawsuits have unraveled Hillary Clinton’s email cover-up.”
Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, has no use for American law except to screw America with it. The Clintons use American law to hide their crimes. A lawyer once told me that if caught DUI, refuse to take a breathalyzer test. It's better to be guilty by refusing than guilty by analysis. If Hillary destroyed the emails she can lie until the cows come home and Trump can't call her a convicted felon. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows Hillary is guilty, but it's different than a conviction.
Obama skate? Of course, he's in charge of this corrupt government. Like Watergate, the pawns fall one by one to protect the liar in chief. It's NOT the FBI, it's NOT the Secretary of State, it's NOT the Attorney General, it's Hussein Obama himself.
I really hope he is correct, may justice be done.

no they won’t. they’re liars.
And in other news, “Buckwheat is dead”
Sounds like bad legal advice, definitely PA, but most states imply permission to breath or blood test as condition of license. Refusal is a separate charge, what that means is that you’ll get a year suspension for the refusal, and still be charged with the DUI with supporting information, i.e. was weaving, slurred speech, odor of alcoholic beverage on breath, driving wrong way on one way street, car in ditch etc.
If your B.A.C. is under legal limit you’re home free, better to take the test, if you’re over the limit you’ll get the DUI, a refusal just adds a year suspension onto the DUI, which may be more than the DUI penalty
Bump!
Apparently Judicial Watch has more pull than Congress.
At this point I’m no longer surprised by that.
What about the thousand that were deleted and unrecoverable?
The actual handover date is likely to be november 30, 2016, too late to matter.
Judicial Watch? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Have they ever won anything?
I swear I think they work for the Clintons.
Obama gets to say it was either turn them over, or the Judge was going to grant JW deposition discovery on Hillary.
But in reality, he wants her out of the race ASAP. That’s why Joe Biden is on the campaign trail holding her hand.
Not hardly, Pilgrim. :)
If anyone can get to the bottom of this, it’s Judicial Watch!
Amen...JW has forced more info to be made public than any other source, including Congress or the FBI.
I think they’d be better off waiting for wikileaks to do a dump... Why would anyone trust the State Department?
A good point, State is not trustworthy.
Would be ironic if State withheld and then wikileaks released emails that show it.
