Judicial Watch obtains new classified Clinton emails

Clinton blames media, Russia and DNC for election loss
A nonprofit legal watchdog claimed Thursday that newly unearthed documents show Hillary Clinton sent and received more classified information on her private server than previously known, and that the papers also show top aide Huma Abedin did favors for Clinton Foundation insiders.

Judicial Watch released more than 2,000 pages of documents it obtained pursuant to a May 5, 2015 court order, after filing a lawsuit against the State Department for failing to comply with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

The new documents included 115 Clinton email exchanges that were not previously turned over by the State Department.

“These shocking new Clinton emails show why the Justice Department should reevaluate, reopen, or reinvigorate Clinton, Inc. investigations,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said on Thursday. “The casual violation of laws concerning classified material and noxious influence peddling show the Clinton State Department was ‘corruption central’ in the Obama administration.”

According to Judicial watch, on Dec. 6, 2010, Clinton shared classified information with non-U.S. government employees Justin Cooper, an aide to former President Clinton, and Clinton Foundation Director Doug Band. The email allegedly shows Clinton instructing her aide to print the correspondence, which involved allegations of theft by Bangladeshi banker and Clinton Foundation donor Muhammad Yunus.

Yunus was accused of embezzling $100 million from the Grameen Bank, which he founded.

In another instance, on March 14, 2011, Judicial Watch says State Department official Maria Otero emailed Clinton information about the Grameen Bank, and it was deemed classified and “confidential” by the State Department, but later redacted.

Judicial Watch claimed Clinton responded to Otero using her HDR22@clintonemail.com account, and copied Abedin’s unsecure email account as well- huma@clintonemail.com.

Judicial Watch’s new emails appear to show multiple Abedin email exchanges from an unsecured server. They also appear to show that Clinton’s then-scheduler, Lona Valmoro, forwarded Clinton’s daily Secretary of State schedule to top Clinton Foundation officials, along with a “number of favors” that were requested.

In a May 10, 2010 email between Abedin and Band, Abedin said she “hooked up” people from the Russian American Foundation with the “right people” at the State Department. The Russia-American Foundation was then staffed by Clinton political supporters, according to Judicial Watch.

Additional documents allegedly show that Chelsea Clinton emails, an email sent by Clinton to Abedin saying she did not wish to fly on the same plane with former First Lady Michelle Obama to Betty Ford’s funeral, and an email chain between Clinton staffers showing they drafted a “doctors statement” as to why Mrs. Clinton fainted due to “dehydration” causing her to hit her head and suffer a “concussion” in December 2012. Judicial Watch’s email shows that the same group, including Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan and Philippe Reines, prepared a discharge statement when she was released from the hospital.

Fitton added: “No wonder Clinton’s allies in the State and Justice Departments had been slow-walking and hiding these emails.”

No surprise to most of us on 2 fronts. First, that there was more to the Hillary email story than we knew. Second, that this comes up during the mess that Trump & Co have made of their own party...deflect wherever possible.

Lets put them all in jail and start over.

That was why this past election was such a joke. The choice was either a crook or a clown. Nobody wins.

Uh, the Justice Department can handle more than just one case at a time without deflection.

Its only a joke to you as there is mounting evidence on her and zero evidence on him to date.

lmao. Sure, the senate, the congress, the FBI and a special prosecutor are investigating him because there's no evidence to base those investigations on. Mmmm hmmmmm. lmao

I meant the candidates. Trump is a joke and Hillary is a liar. Well Trump is a liar too but i digress.

Nobody could win in the past election because neither of the candidates are fit to be president. Weren't then and aren't now.

Thats odd ... i feel like we all won...

Here is more evidence to prevent your desire for a lynching...

-No evidence has been presented, yet this has now become the biggest scandal in history.

-James Comey says there is zero evidence of collusion and the President is not under investigation.

-The Russia conspiracy narrative has been crumbling right in front of the media’s faces, but they refuse to let it go. The latest Democrat official to be forced – reluctantly – to admit that the whole thing is an air sandwich was former Obama CIA director John Brennan.

- But it's time to get to the truth and set the record straight. Nobody else in the media will do it, because most of them want to destroy the president at any cost. They want him out of office. They want him impeached. They want him gone.

- The latest Democrat official to be forced – reluctantly – to admit that the whole thing is an air sandwich was former Obama CIA director John Brennan.

“I shared classified information with the Russians when I was director of CIA,” he said. “CIA on a routine basis shares classified information with Russians on terrorism matters.”

That was pretty shocking, since it came after the media excoriated President Trump for allegedly sharing critical information with Russians in the Oval Office, something the commander-in-chief is free to do.

Well if there's anything there, hope congress takes a look.

State Department probes Clinton handling of government emails, could pull her security clearance

The State Department has opened a formal inquiry into whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while she was the nation’s top diplomat, Fox News has learned. Despite being under investigation, Clinton and her staffers still have security clearances to access sensitive government information.

The department’s investigation aims to determine whether Clinton and her closest aides violated government protocols by using her private server to receive, hold and transmit classified and top-secret government documents. The department declined to say when its inquiry began, but it follows the conclusion of the FBI’s probe into the matter, which did not result in any actions being taken against Clinton or any of her aides.

Depending on the outcome of the current State Department inquiry, Clinton and her aides could have their access to sensitive government documents terminated.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, confirmed to Fox News the department’s formal inquiry.

Meanwhile, Grassley’s committee launched its own inquiry into Clinton’s handling of emails, an inquiry that began in March. Grassley cited among his concerns the July 5 statement of former FBI Director James Comey that the agency found Clinton and her staff members were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.” Grassley also contended there is “evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information...”

During the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s use of top-secret and classified information on her private server, Comey said there were seven email chains on Clinton’s computer that were classified at the “Top Secret/Special Access Program level.” Another 2,000 emails on her private server were found to have contained information deemed classified now, though not marked classified when sent. In addition, the server also contained 22 top-secret emails deemed too damaging to national security to be released.

Clinton’s spokesperson, Nick Merrill, told Fox News that the investigation into Clinton’s mishandling of classified information is done.

“Nothing's been more thoroughly dissected. It's over. Case closed. Literally,” said Merrill.

That's not a universally held view.

Chris Farrell, of Judicial Watch, a conservative Washington-based government watchdog that has filed a number of lawsuits related to the Clinton email scandal, said he believes Clinton and her “circle of national security criminals” should not have access to any classified information for any reason.

“Their conduct has cost them that privileged position of special trust and confidence,” Farrell said.

Any other government employee would have been prosecuted under 18 USC Sec. 793(f) (“Mishandling National Defense Information”) and be subject to a long prison sentence and large fines, Farrell added.

“This flagrant double standard for the gang that exposed Top Secret Codeword material to the Russians, Chinese and others is both offensive and deeply corrosive to the intelligence community,” Farrell said. “There is no better evidence that when it comes to Hillary Clinton and her côtèrie — laws are for the little people.”

j/c:

Does anyone else get the feeling that people on both sides are actually gleeful when the other "side" is being accused of misdeeds?

How does that make our country better?

I truly wonder if some of you will ever wake up.

Oh, trust me, I am wide awake and know that I can't be on these boards and in public calling for taking back our streets while criminals abide in the big house.

Drain the swamp baby!
If we have evidence, we burn em down!

I don't trust you. I think you are one-sided and display clear signs of bigotry. I think you are a prime example of what is wrong w/our country. Instead of trying to find solutions and working w/others, you point fingers and promote bias.

Disgraceful!

Can you please stop using that phrase?

Not only has the swamp not been drained, but more alligators have been released into it.

You got want you wanted, another potential Hillary investigation. Shut up already.

I disagree. If there is evidence, we take them down.
We are only in the beginning of identifying the alligators.

No BS, no false accusations, evidence will drain the swamp.

You hate me because I defend Trump.
Show me evidence and he will go too.
Point fingers and make false accusations against the guy and I will have his back, every time.

You are wrong on two of your points:

--I do not hate you.

--I do not hate you because you defend Trump. In fact, I have been bashing the "other side" for all their attacks on Trump since he won the election. The constant whining and crying from the other "side" has been a real turnoff for me.

My point has been, is, and will be this:

Taking sides is a sign of ignorance. I believe in keeping an open mind and doing what is right rather than just siding w/a "side."

Playing the blame game is not productive. Rather, we should be trying to find solutions to solve our issues rather than saying the other "side" is the root of all problems.

I sometimes think that the powers that be, whomever they may be, orchestrate all of this hate and bias. Keep the minions at each other's throats. Don't let them unite, because if they did, they would surely see through the facade we have created to keep the masses down.

Well I disagree with most of that.

Standing up for something or someone you believe in is being a Man or Woman of conviction.

What you describe sounds more like someone with a lily liver.
Wishy Washy.

I will be happy to get along and work with the other side when they finally get over slandering, assaulting, and shooting my side.

LOL...........let's get a couple of things straight.

I said I don't hate you. You can disagree, but I know what I think better than you know what I think.

I have also been way more vocal recently against the liberals than those who are supporting Trump, so once again, you are wrong!

Wishy-washy? Lilly liver? LMAO

I'll put it to you this way, 40. I would kick your ass from here to eternity. And if being physical isn't important............just know that I fight both "sides" and am not afraid of either of your "sides."

I'm hundreds of times more of a real man than you little pretend self will ever be.

I just added something to the end of that post.

And I agree w/that last line that you added.

They are driving me nuts w/their constant whining and attacks.

Once again, my suggestion is for both "sides" to understand that we are way better off if we are all in this together.

Opposing, conflicting, contrary views are cool. They help us learn and keep things balanced.

However, automatically taking one side over another no matter the circumstances and trying to rip each other apart is NOT productive.

That makes more sense but are we still gonna duke it out?

Swish told me you go down like a sack of fish.

Nah, Swish did not say that. LOL

We would only "duke it out" if you called me those names to my face, which I seriously doubt that you would.

Ah, I CAN disagree, as you've told me you hate me. I think twice, maybe more.

You should use your ideas of getting along with others, not taking sides and inclusiveness to issue a full apology to Arch for hating him.

Nope. I don't like arch. Dude has stalked me for years. I said that it wasn't true that I didn't like you. Arch is another story.

However, this isn't about individual relationships. It's about making general statements and evaluations on entire groups of people.

arch is a white male from the working class. Same as many of my friends. However, his constant attacks over the years have caused me to despise him and there wouldn't be a whole lot of talking if he and I were ever to meet.

My point in the debate is not to judge groups, but rather look at the individual. I think good people are in all groups and I think there are despicable people in all groups.

Thus, as jfan would say...........all generalizations are bad.

Well, thanks for that. I'll keep it in mind.

*gives Arch a hug*

Why the hell is this important?

Because you and yours started the Hillary investigation and soon the Loretta Lynch investigation. Then maybe Obama.

You and yours set up this atmosphere of investigation by falsely accusing Trump of things there was no proof for and eventually ticking off everyone in Washington who now want to investigate every allegation they hear about.

The Left has bitten its own arse again!

Why do you insist on lying? Is it the ongoing Trump effect?

Do I wish for these investigations to run their course? Sure I do.

I've said this before but in your effort to attack rather than be honest, you act as if I haven't.

I have no hopes or wishes that our president be found guilty of anything. It does our nation and the presidency no favors and only serves to weaken our country.

I am however outraged that our election was hacked and that Russia is doing everything in their power to undermine our democracy while the White House sits on their hands. Our nation was attacked and the White House is doing nothing to protect us from this happening again.

That's not a crime but it is shameful.

Pit ...

U must have missed Trump meeting with the TECH GIANTS yesterday ... bet they may have talked about SECURING our tech stuff on all levels for at least 5 minutes ...

How about we let the 6 committees looking into it to come back to us with the results of there investigations into what actually did before we start saying the admin should do anything .. it may be PRUDENT to get all the FACTS before we start retailiting .. but thats just me .. i like to make decisions based on ALL THE FACTS ...

And Pit .. please tell me your not naive enough to think that Russia and China and US don't do this crap all the time .. the US has been influencing and tryoing to influence elections as long since 1900 ...

U want some truth Pit ..

Yesterday he had Jeff Bezos in ... u know the guy that owns a MAJOR NEWSPAPER that has lied and slandered trump from day 1 .... and at one point assigned 25 of his employees to spend ALL THEIR TIME trying to find stuff about trump ...

That sounds like a guy that is trying to HELP THIS COUNTRY not someone full of all the hate and vigor u and yours talk about ... Trump NEVER GETS CREDIT for listening to everyone ..

2 months on one democratic senator said that he had been to the WH more times in 2 months to meet and talk with Trump more times than he had been in 8 years ....

U want some more truth Pit .. U said i think Trump don't lie ... .. I'm not STUPID ... YOUR LIE ... u said i say he doesn't lie .. NEVER HAPPEND ....

On a side note ... u say I've been duped .. well fact is Pit . NOT EVEN CLOSE ... i knew i was rolling the dice going in ... again I'm not an IDIOT that blindly follows anything .. I'm po'ed at him for a bunch of stuff .. also think hes done very good in a bunch of areas ...

Why u never see that on here from me .. why would i .. he has Swish and chs and rocket and a bunch of others that just act like the press and just bash everything he does ..

I lumped u in with them to get under your skin .. cazuse u have a lot of them in U at times ..

I'm being nice cause of OCD and the fact i was ashamed of how i acted before ..

I've NEVER been like that ... EVER .... and i will leave before i do it again ...

So you prolly won't be seeing much more of me ... *LOL* ...

I'm not sure why you insist on claiming this is about Trump. It really only pertains to Trump in regards to his response to the Russian attacks on our election.

There is no question that Russia attacked our election process. The senate even agrees with that across party lines. In a vote of 97-2 they approved adding sanctions to Russia over election tampering. Trump refuses to even admit publicly that it even happened. That's my issue.

The rest of the investigation as it pertains to collusion, obstruction of justice and all the rest? I have no idea how any of that will turn out and hope there's nothing to any of it. That would do none of us any good. It would be harmful to the reputation of our nation and only serve to weaken the office of the president. That's not something I want.

And Diam, there's a difference between hearing people and listening to them. His own circle can't even keep him from ranting on Twitter. I posted a video of people he likes to listen to. People he stays in contact with on a regular basis. People like Alex Jones.

The funny thing is, I really wouldn't have been any happier had Hillary became president. Our choices sucked! No matter how you slice it, when you're forced to try to choose between the lesser of two evils, you still end up with evil.

You and Yours? Do you mean us americans?

Look, when something starts to smoke, I think "FIRE". There is a lot of smoke around Trump and it should be investigated...

Of all people, I'd think you'd want an investigation. You seem to think he can do no wrong. So, let the damn investigation happen and quit complaining about something that has absolutely no bearing on anything current.

I'm surprised that you're surprised. It's not about Americans with 40. It's only us verses them. He doesn't care about his fellow Americans or there being any unity among our citizens.

Since he never served in the military, he's finally found his war. He's a soldja!

I am all for necessary investigations of our government.

I am all against false accusations with zero evidence, perpetrated by the Left and promoted by the Fake News Media, based on unnamed sources, leading to the unnecessary waste of time and money and leading to investigations designed to delay and disrupt a duly elected President in the beginning of his Presidency.

This is completely un-American.

Maybe you should inform the GOP Senate, the GOP Congress and the GOP appointed special prosecutor that the GOP is perpetrating a witch hunt on the GOP president.

They may not have a smoking gun but I'm pretty sure they have a little more than "zero evidence"...

I'll say the same thing I said about Hillary and her e-mails.. if you have nothing to hide, show all of your cards, shorten the investigation by months, save the taxpayers millions of dollars, and then we can get on with other things... "Losing" documents, preventing people from testifying, etc. only makes you look worse and drags this out even longer...

And if you have zero cards to show, what do you do?

Zero evidence of the collusion we have been hearing about for 7 months.
Nancy, Schumer and many other Democrat Senators and Congressmen have admitted as much.

You can't run around constantly pulling fire alarms without getting in trouble yourself.

Especially considering that there have been leaks about everything else to do with this investigation but were suppose to believe if they had sumptin about the collision that wouldn't have been leaked ... ...
