Judicial Watch today released two batches, 184 pages and 45 pages, of newly uncovered emails of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from the U.S. Department of State sent and received over her unsecure, non-“state.gov” email system. Five emails contain classified information.
Judicial Watch obtained the documents in response to a FOIA lawsuit filed on May 6, 2015, after the State Department failed to respond to a March 4, 2015 FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00687)) seeking:
All emails sent or received by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in her official capacity as Secretary of State, as well as all emails by other State Department employees to Secretary Clinton regarding her non-“state.gov” email address.
The documents are part of the accelerated schedule of production ordered by U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg, which requires the State Department to complete processing by September 28, 2018, the remaining documents of the 72,000 pages recovered by the FBI in its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s illicit email server. These new classified and other emails appear to be among those that Clinton had attempted to delete or had otherwise failed to disclose.
The new documents include material classified “confidential” on negotiations between Northern Ireland and UK, as well as negotiations with Israel, Palestine, and France. They also include a reference to a Clinton meeting with controversial leftwing billionaire George Soros, and advice to Clinton from Sid Blumenthal, who was barred from a State Department position by the Obama administration and regardless continued to advise her on matters of state.
- On June 7, 2011, Clinton received classified information on her non-secure email account from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, which Blair also forwarded to Jake Sullivan, about Blair’s Middle East negotiations with Israel, the Palestinians and the French
- On January 26, 2010, Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan sent classified information via his unsecure Blackberry to Huma Abedin’s State Department email account that he’d earlier sent to Clinton’s and Abedin’s non-secure @clintonemail.com email accounts about U.K. negotiations with Northern Ireland.
- On October 28, 2010, Clinton exchanges information with her friend Marty Torrey – a congressional aide – who asks Clinton in an email if she would advise that Torrey meet with former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. Clinton responds through her non-secure email account approving the meeting and notes that she is emailing him from Hanoi, Vietnam.
- An email chain dated April 8, 2010, which contains a memo from Sid Blumenthal to Hillary Clinton related to the change of government in Kyrgyzstan, contains information classified “confidential” and is redacted as “foreign government information” and “foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources.” Blumenthal urges Clinton to “develop relations” with the new government in Kyrgyzstan.
All of this suggests to me the necessity for the State Department to assert itself and take the lead in developing relations with the new government.
- A January 26, 2010, email to Hillary Clinton from her deputy chief of staff, Jake Sullivan, is classified “confidential” and contains a “call sheet” that Clinton received prior to placing a call to Northern Ireland political leaders. It appears that the redacted portions contain the names of particular members of Sinn Fein who were invited to a particular meeting and the expectations of either themselves or other foreign ministers for the outcomes of that meeting.
November 22, 2018 — Trump insists daughter Ivanka’s private email use for work was ‘very innocent’
The letter R following an elected official’s name stands for “hypocrisy R us.”
@Greg: The WAPOOP what a source, Have they uncovered the classified material, Ivanka runs her own business if she used government email services for that you guys would flip too.
I bet she hands over all the emails without having a lawyer with no security clearance go through and delete the ones they dont want to give out.
Whats up with non-russians not wanting declassification? We should know the sources and methods of them interfering in a US election and soft coup. It would be refreshing if the trail didnt lead back to Barry and Stinky.
Yeah, just like her daddy handed over his tax returns as he repeatedly promised he would do when the issue came up during his presidential campaign.
Maybe someone should explain why the hell a president’s son-in-law and daughter are handling official government business to begin with. Was the entire family elected to public office? Does anyone really imagine for an instant that Donald Jr, who is in theory making international business deals and decisions on behalf of his father’s private interests, doesn’t have inside information regarding every policy decision that affects those deals?
Make America Smart Again should probably be the next democratic presidential candidate’s campaign slogan.
This too, could have been applicable. Of course, Democrats didn’t object then. Seems they have found something new to object to.
Does anyone really imagine for an instant that Joe P. Kennedy, Sr., who was in theory making international business deals and decisions on behalf of his two sons private interests, didn’t have inside information regarding every policy decision that affected those deals?
@Greg:
They are to be released right after Barry unseals his entire past. Stinky made plenty of deals with uranium and technology, China didnt have a stealth plane before, the last admin, Russia didnt have super sonic rockets before then.
@retire05:
Joe Kennedy, Sr has been dead for nearly half-a-century, and has no bearing on the corrupt administration presently selling out the nation for private gain.
@kitt:
Nor is the possibility that Obama’s academic record might not be as stellar as reported anywhere near as important as the likelihood that Trump is using public office for private gain, and may be betraying his oath of office and the national security of the country he leads in the process. I believe the man heads a family of crooks. He’s obviously hiding a great deal that won’t stand the full light of day.
His returns will eventually be subpoenaed—eventually being not so far in the future, once Democrats take control of the House.
@Greg:
Based on what standing? Trump’s tax returns are those of a private citizen up to the date of inauguration. And what law prevents any president from private earnings while in office?
While we are at it, we can subpoena both Bill and Hillary’s tax returns. Those while Bill was president and Hillary’s while she was Secretary of State and a candidate for the presidency. Ironic how a man (Clinton) who had never so much as owned a home when he became president could leave office a very wealthy man.
@Greg: If he came in as a foreign student it would be a scam or he was a foreign student. I think he is hiding everything.
You make statements that have no evidence at all. His taxes have been audited if there was anything illegal there no doubt the last leak like a sieve admin would have fed it to a media outlet long ago.
You do know that Barry knew Stinky had a non government email long before it hit the media. They exchanged emails while she was in Russia. All emails to Barry had to be on a whitelist, to avoid spam ect, there are photos of her on a, to be bashed with a hammer, phone while in Russia.
