Clinton Email Scandal: Is The State Department Part Of A Hillary Cover-Up?

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Corruption: The State Department filed a secret court brief in an effort to hide tens of thousands of Hillary Clinton’s emails. What is in those emails that the State Department wants to cover up?

 

If it’s classified material, there are ways to deal with that. Many of her already released emails had classified information redacted. What’s so special about these emails and the court filing that the State Department wants to keep them hidden? Is this really just an effort by State to maintain the integrity of its own email investigation, as it says it is?

 

That seems to be an eminently debatable point, since the public release of thousands of other Clinton emails apparently hasn’t crimped the FBI’s investigation.

 

At issue are the 30,000 emails that Clinton generated while secretary of state — and then deleted because she deemed them to be too personal for public consumption — that have never been released. They are supposedly personal in nature. But Vice news reporter Jason Leopold seems to believe differently and is suing for their release through the Freedom of Information Act. The State Department’s response was to submit a classified filing to the court, asking that the emails continue to be withheld.

 

U.S. District Court Judge Randy Moss, however, has ordered State Department lawyers to make at least part of the secret filing public. If the State Department believes there is sensitive material in the emails or the filing that, if released, will harm its own investigation and cannot be properly redacted, it has until April 26 to show cause. This was the right ruling.
