Judge says Hillary Clinton’s private emails violated policy
JOSH GERSTEIN at Politico reports:
A federal judge has added fresh fuel to the incendiary controversy over Hillary Clinton’s email, asserting during a hearing Thursday that she violated government policy by storing official messages on a private server when she worked as secretary of state.
“We wouldn’t be here today if this employee had followed government policy,” said U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, apparently referring to Clinton, during a hearing on one of the many Freedom of Information act lawsuits seeking access to her records as secretary of state.
Sullivan’s said Clinton’s actions had complicated the State Department’s ability to respond to requests for records on various topics. He also ordered the State Department to contact the FBI to determine whether the private server Clinton used, which Clinton turned over to that law enforcement agency earlier this month, contains official records possibly responsive to the FOIA suit.
Asked about the judge’s remarks, Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said there was nothing improper about Clinton’s email arrangement.
”Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email account was consistent with the practice of other Secretaries of State, and permissible under the Department’s policy at the time,” Fallon said.
During a hearing that lasted over an hour in federal court in Washington, Sullivan pressed for answers about whether more copies of official government records from Clinton’s tenure may exist, either in a server or thumb drives turned over to the FBI or in back-up servers maintained for Clinton by a Denver technology firm.In the FOIA suit Sullivan is handling, the conservative group Judicial Watch is seeking records about the employment arrangements of longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin, who served Clinton’s deputy chief of staff at the State Department but later moved to a part-time position while also doing private consulting work.
