State Department seeks 27-month delay for release of Clinton Foundation emails



Did Comey just get a home in the Hamptons?


We have all been here before. You're in your vehicle driving when someone says…quick roll up the windows.. (gagging).. I smell a dead skunk.


What a coincidence, Bill, and Loretta just bumped into each other in AZ and now suddenly this story breaks. You would have thought they would have waited a week but why bother when the media is on your side. Someone call the double fucks Kristol and Will and ask them what they think of this latest development. If Trump's no good for America. Then what is she? Sometimes self-righteousness can make you blind.


How much more obvious can it get? The Clintons have been embroiled in scandals going all the way back to the Arkansas governor's mansion!

Our country is being ripped apart by deceit and corruption. If law and order (regardless of party) is no longer respected we are on our way to becoming another Venezuela.

The State Department has sought to delay the court-ordered release of emails between four of Hillary Clinton's top aides and officials at the Clinton Foundation and a closely associated public relations firm.

The motion, filed in federal court by the Justice Department late Wednesday, seeks to put off the release of the emails by 27 months. It was first reported on by The Daily Caller

In the filing, the State Department says it originally estimated that approximately 6,000 emails and other documents were exchanged between the aides — identified as former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Michael Fuchs, former Ambassador-At-Large Melanne Verveer, Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, and Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin — and the Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings, a communications shop that former President Bill Clinton helped launch.

However, the State Department said that due to errors in the initial document search, the number of "potentially responsive documents" was, in fact, more than 34,000. The department estimated that it had more than 13,000 pages still left to review.

U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras had previously ordered the State Department to release the requested documents by July 21. 

If the State Department request is granted, the emails would not be released until October 2018, nearly halfway through the first term of a potential Hillary Clinton presidency. The documents are being sought by the conservative nonprofit group Citizens United.

"The American people have a right to see these emails before the election," Citizens United President David Bossie told The Daily Caller, adding that the delay was "totally unacceptable."

State Department spokesman John Kirby cited a surge in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests in explaining the extension request.

"The Department handles FOIA in an entirely nonpartisan manner," Kirby added.

The former secretary of state has come under scrutiny over whether she used her position to aid corporate and foreign government donors to the Clinton Foundation.

In addition, Abedin worked as an employee at Teneo while simultaneously working at the State Department while Mills held a position at the Clinton Foundation while also serving in the State Department. Both matters have been flagged by Congress as possible conflicts of interest.
