State Department Finds New Records in Clinton FOIA Litigation

Judicial Watch announced on Monday that the Obama State Department recently found “thousands” of new records from Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State.

According to information provided to Judicial Watch by various Justice Department attorneys, the new documents appear be “working” records in electronic format located on both “shared” and “individual” drives accessible to or used by persons identified as being relevant to Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits on the Benghazi scandal and controversies from Clinton’s term at State. The State Department confirmed the new find in a court filing late this past Friday in a FOIA lawsuit concerning records about Clinton aide Huma Abedin:

After State filed its motion for summary judgment in this case [on November 11, 2015], State located additional sources of documents that originated within the Office of the Secretary that are reasonably likely to contain records responsive to Plaintiff’s request. State has informed Plaintiff that it intends to search these locations, produce non-exempt portions of any responsive records, and file a supplemental declaration in support of its motion for summary judgment (which is presently stayed).

The State Department seeks at least until February 1 to provide additional information about these new records.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement in response to the new disclosures:

Keep on turning those stones over.

This is so outrageous. If she was using person email for government business, especially as high ranking as she was, that email should be completely open to investigators. If I'm placed under arrest for suspicion of a crime, the cop can search my phone, which has my email, without a warrant.

Very interesting stuff. Read the Judicial Watch paperwork. Pretty damning for Clinton. She's getting it from all sides at this point. Will she give up the ghost? Probably not. I've seen throughout the years, when the Clintons do wrong-doing, they often dismiss it and carry on as if their actions did not violate laws. Seems to be the trend with many but theirs is particularly brazen.
