Citizens United sues for Chelsea Clinton emails
Politico ^ | January 14, 2016 | Josh Gerstein

The conservative group Citizens United filed a lawsuit Thursday demanding access to emails Chelsea Clinton exchanged with five top aides to her mother, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, while she served as secretary of state.

The Freedom of Information Act suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, also seeks emails in State Department files from three other key figures in the Clinton orbit: Clinton Foundation foreign policy chief Amitabh Desai, aide to President Bill Clinton Justin Cooper, and manager of the Clinton's Chappaqua, N.Y. home, Oscar Flores.

Citizens United President David Bossie said that the group wants Chelsea Clinton's emails as part of its investigation into links between the Clinton Foundation and activities of the State Department during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary.

"The real interesting person here is of course Chelsea Clinton, who is the lead person….We saw that pop up on the grid in all email we received over the past year,' Bossie said, referring to other FOIA requests and suits brought by his group. "We want to see much more about what Chelsea Clinton was up to because she now has put herself out here on the campaign trail, along with Bill Clinton, as a lead surrogate."

The new suit could reignite a debate about how much scrutiny Chelsea Clinton should be exposed to by the media and her mother's political opponents. During her father's presidency, Chelsea was a teenager and was rarely reported on by the mainstream media. Similar low-profile treatment of her continued through her mother's first presidential bid in 2007 and 2008. Now, she's a 35-year-old mother of one as her mother mounts a second bid for the Democratic presidential nomination and the White House.

Asked whether Chelsea Clinton should be off limits in the current political debate, Bossie said emphatically: "Absolutely not."

How long until Hillary comes out with some spiel about how her “child” should be off-limits?

As much as despise the entire Clinton Crime Family it' easy for *me*,at least,to see how going after Chelsea in *any* way could backfire...BIG TIME...on the GOP.

Does Chelsea have knowledge of things that are,in fact,crimes? Probably.Has Chelsea done anything that could expose *her* to criminal prosecution? Distinctly possible.But *nothing* is going to happen to *any* of the Clintons *regardless* of who is AG so....

Considering Chelsea is an adult and had contact regarding Benghazi, I don’t have an issue with this. Maybe we should see all of Blumenthal’s emails as well.

I don't have an issue with this.

Neither do I,personally speaking.Having been raised by two filthy psychopaths *anything* is possible.

But am I wrong to suspect that the entire Rat Party,every single news organization on earth *and* Nikki Haley (and her ilk) would just go ballistic...and stay that way...if Chelsea "What A Wonderful,Innocent Young Woman She Is,And What A Beautiful Baby She Has" Clinton is dragged into this?
