The State Department admitted last week that it had withheld a key email from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the 2012 Benghazi attacks for more than a year in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch, President Tom Fitton said Tuesday.
"Had the department disclosed the email when first supposedly found, Clinton’s email server and her hidden emails would have been revealed before she authorized the alleged deletion of tens of thousands of emails," Fitton wrote in an op-ed on Brietbart News.
The State Department disclosed in a letter to U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth that was released last week that it had found the 2012 email in 2014 but withheld it.
"Also, upon further review, the department has determined that one document previously withheld in full in our letter dated November 12, 2014, may now be released in part," the State Department told the court in an April 18, 2016 letter.
However, the November 2014, letter does not discuss any withheld emails, Fitton said.
"A search declaration suggests the hidden email was found in September 2014 as a result of a search in response to Judicial Watch's lawsuit," he said.
"The result of all this is that we now know that the Obama administration consciously refused to give up key information about Hillary Clinton’s email in 2014," Fitton concluded. "It covered up this email both from the court and Judicial Watch."

Well, these folks can jump and hide behind their smoke and mirrors all they want. hide and jump, slip and slide, oops I forgot one.
All to reinforce the FACT that these people are guilty as hell and need to be in jail, except nothing will be done except quelling any revolt in the matter.
Well, I, for one, an carrying for the day that happens, and I'm pretty sure it will, but I really am hoping it doesn't come to that.
Or, maybe I'm thinking it might be in our best interest to spill some blood on this Country, which I'm willing to do. I'm 60 something, and I care more for my kids' future here than I care for my own life.
