Cause of Action Sues State for Clinton Records Failure

A whistle-blowing organization is suing Secretary of State John Kerry and the National Archivist for failure to properly preserve former Secretary Hillary Clinton’s electronic trail.

Cause of Action (COA), a non-profit and nonpartisan government accountability organization, filed a lawsuit against the agency, claiming it did not perform its due diligence in ensuring that Clinton followed record keeping protocol. COA executive director Dan Epstein said the suit was necessary to ensure transparency in future administrations.

“This case is about no government official being above the law and the duty of Secretary Kerry and Archivist [David] Ferriero to fulfill their statutory obligations to hold former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accountable for misusing taxpayer funded federal property,” Epstein said in a release.

Clinton installed a private email server in her home, rather than using the existing State Department email server. She conducted official State Department business on the private server. She turned over thousands of pages of email records but not before combing through the files and eliminating tens of thousands of emails she says were personal in nature.

“Federal law requires these agency heads to notify Congress when such action has been taken,” the group said in a release.

Glad to see these citizen lawsuits, since the feds obviously aren't going to do their job.
Judicial Watch in particular is really getting some stuff exposed and dealt with.

More power to them!

If and when the organization called Cause of Action win this lawsuit, will the money go back to the tax payer who inadvertently funded the Hildabeast E-mail corruption. Or, is the COA another organization making quick and fast money off struggling tax paying citizen. Big corporation and banks all around us are making big bucks. When will the middle class and the poor get relief from COA.

What money, 1:34?
This is about getting documents released.
If they got any money, that would be about covering their legal fees.

Two sets of laws.
Right in your face.
Their efforts will ultimately fail, for the reason stated above.
Keep cheering.
