Judge Sullivan lectured government attorneys at a hearing yesterday on the lawsuit regarding the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for Hillary Clinton’s emails while she served as Secretary of State. “We wouldn’t be here today if this employee had followed government policy,” said U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan. The Justice Department sought to avoid the request with the claim that Hillary’s personal emails were not subject to FOIA. The judge rejected the argument because of the unusual circumstances arising from a violation of government policy.
The judge also chided government attorneys for their unresponsiveness in not knowing what information, including the server and the thumb drives, over which the FBI actually had control.
It’s time to end the charade of the vast right wing conspiracy. At a minimum, Hillary violated Federal Government policy for records management in her obvious attempt to skirt public records laws and Freedom of Information Act requests. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/judge-says-hillary-clintons-private-emails-violated-policy-121568.html?hp=t2_r
