Why is the administration trying to cover it up?
Group Argues Agency Violating FOIA to Cover for Hillary Clinton
Judicial Watch today announced that U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has
ordered the U.S. Department of State to turn over to Judicial Watch “eight identical paragraphs” of previously redact material in two
September 13, 2012, Hillary Clinton emails
regarding phone calls made by President Barack Obama to Egyptian and
Libyan leaders immediately following the terrorist attack on the U.S.
mission in Benghazi. Both emails had the subject line “Quick Summary of
POTUS Calls to Presidents of Libya and Egypt” and were among the emails
stored on Clinton’s unofficial email server. Judge Jackson reviewed
the documents directly and rejected the government’s contention that the
records had been properly withheld under the FOIA B(5) “deliberative
process”
exemption.
Judge Jackson ruled: “the two records, even if just barely
predecisional, are not deliberative. [The State Department] has pointed
to very little to support its characterization of these two records as
deliberative, and the Court’s
in camera review of the documents reveals that they do not fall within that category.”
The full emails may reveal what former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and President Obama knew about the September 11, 2012, terror
attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
