Good news!
I mean, we HAVE to cut the budget SOMEWHERE, right..?
Seems to me that the State Dept. just cut RIGHT TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE.
Flying’s expensive, you guys can learn to ROW (across oceans).
This old American does not trust the ‘New American’...
More fake news? If it is true, I trust the President KNOWS what he is doing - drain the swamp = MAGA!
Unbelievable!
They may be protecting sources and methods in the interest of national security. Did that occur to you?
Some thing look bad on the surface, but there may be some reasonable explanations for this.
Up thread 2ndDivisionVet came up with a reasoned opinion on this.

I wouldn’t put too much into the way this is written.
National Security is the President's main function, there could be things in these emails that could really harm our Nation and our people in other countries, military, ambassadors, etc...
President Trump knows what is in the emails, rest assured, therefore, he knows what he is doing...
This article, written by ??? I have never heard of them have you???
When is Trump going to do something about that?
Nothing in the article supports your conclusion. Keeping information secret is standard procedure in all investigations.
I mean.. WEIRD, YA KNOW? Whatever it was, it was BAD, like 'BIRTHING ISIS' BAD.
0dungsh*t was hot and heavy to ILLEGALLY bomb the cr*p out of Libya without Consent of Congress.. Almost as if he was PREPPING THE PLAYING FIELD FOR HOARDS OF MUSLIMS TO MORE EASILY CONQUER THE EU VIA ITALY OR SOMETHING..
Trump has a State Department?
Who knew?
Exactly when did he fire all the RAT-hacks and replace them with competent people?
I want to know why the SEALs of Extortion 17 were killed.
Here’s a link to the Judicial Watch press release:
This article in The New American is just a rehash of the JW news release.
Ley’s not get pissy just yet. I’m sure President Trump has a plan.
I don’t believe this. So Trump defies this judge yet complies with the idiots on the 9th Circus? No....there’s more to this than we know.
There may be a valid reason to not release them - might be some serious security issues contained in the data.
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
Additionally, Judicial Watch makes the case that the Trump State Department is purposefully sabotaging the group’s effort to hold Hillary accountable, something that Trump repeatedly promised to do on the campaign trail.
Judicial Watch argues:
An agency’s deliberate withholding of a FOIA claim, either to gain a tactical advantage or, as appears to be the case here, to protect the agency’s interests and those of its former head, is “a motive undoubtedly inconsistent with FOIA’s broad remedial purpose …” It “counsels denying the Government’s request.”
The emails in question were sent to then-top administration officials, including Clinton, Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, Clinton Deputy Chief of Staff Jacob Sullivan, Special Assistant Robert Russo, and Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough.
Mentioning the apparent increase in the influence of the so-called “Deep State” on the Trump administration, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton asks, “Does President Trump know his State and Justice Departments are still trying to provide cover for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama?” Fitton continued, “An extraordinary court ruling that could result in key answers about the Benghazi outrage is being opposed by the Trump administration. This may well be an example of the ‘deep state’ trying to get away with a cover up — if so then the Trump administration must put a stop to it.”
Mike Lofgren, author of The Deep State: The Fall of the Constitution and The Rise of A Shadow Government, defines the Deep State as “the powers-that-be that they believe actually run the country regardless of electoral results:
the Wise Men, the Power Elite.” With this apparent legal maneuvering to keep Hillary Clinton from being held accountable for her betrayal of the Americans who perished at the Benghazi attack, one wonders if the Deep State has pulled even President Trump into their oligarchical orbit.
.................
My guess is that this problem of teh State Dept.(most likely) leftover obama tards trying to sabotage Trump is a function of not enough time to adequately drain the swamp.It will happen we just have to be patient,IMHO.
