Just When You Thought All of Hillary's Emails Were Discovered - More Are Uncovered

We were first told that all of Hillary Clinton’s emails had been discovered.  Then we found out that, little by little, tens of thousands of emails began to be discovered. 

Just last week, government watchdog Judicial Watch released a court filing that revealed that even more of Clinton’s emails had been uncovered by the FBI and turned over to the State Department.

The State Department informed the court of the FBI discovery of the Clinton emails that were not previously released.

[T]he Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) recently sent [the State Department] additional documents as part of the ongoing inter-agency consultation process in connection with other FOIA litigation. [The State Department] is working to determine whether that set of documents includes any responsive, non-duplicative agency records that have not already been processed. [The State Department] will promptly update [Judicial Watch] and the Court once that initial review is complete.

The discovery was due to the diligence of Judicial Watch to pursue those all of Clinton’s emails, as well as other documents via a 2015 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

Judicial Watch issued a press release:

Production of all Clinton emails concluded more than a year ago.  Throughout the two plus years of processing and production, more and more emails would appear in addition to the 55,000 pages Clinton turned over to the State Department in December 2014.  The FBI uncovered 72,000 pages of documents Clinton attempted to delete or did not otherwise disclose. Previously requested, the FBI was only able to recover or find approximately 5,000, including classified material, of the 33,000 government emails Clinton removed and tried to destroy.  Earlier this year, Judicial Watch announced that it received 756 pages of emails that were among the materials Clinton tried to delete or destroy, several of which were classified and were transmitted over her unsecure, non-“state.gov” email system.    Now again, it appears the FBI has uncovered more Clinton email documents.

Judicial Watch last week released FBI emails showing that the FBI’s top lawyer gave deferential treatment to the attorney representing Hillary Clinton’s top aides implicated in the mass deletion of Clinton’s emails.

…

In separate Judicial Watch FOIA litigation, a federal court will soon rule on whether Hillary Clinton and her top aide can be questioned under oath by Judicial Watch lawyers about the email and Benghazi controversies. The court has already granted additional discovery to Judicial Watch.

The court ordered discovery into three specific areas: whether Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server was intended to stymie FOIA; whether the State Department’s intent to settle this case in late 2014 and early 2015 amounted to bad faith; and whether the State Department has adequately searched for records responsive to Judicial Watch’s request. The court specifically ordered Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers and Clinton aides to be deposed or answer written questions under oath. The court ruled that the Clinton email system was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.” (This Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit led directly to the disclosure of the Clinton email system in 2015.)

“It is astonishing news that the FBI mysteriously found more Clinton emails.  Were they on Anthony Weiner’s laptop?  At James Comey’s house? Or on Peter Strzok’s cell phone?” asked Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “This disturbing development further highlights how the fix was in on the Clinton email scandal and why a criminal investigation needs to be reopened by Attorney General Barr.”

Well, the question should be asked, does Barr really want to get to the bottom of this and deal with these criminals or was he put in place to ensure that this ends up being nothing more than political theater and evade bringing justice to those named above?

Time will tell.
