State Department Refusing To Release Clinton Files

[duane1969]

Nothing shocking here. The administration that claimed it would be the most transparent has been the least transparent of any in the history of our country. Request for documents under the Freedom of Information act as much as four years old have still not been released. We are not talking about highly classified documents here. They are asking for basic information such as who traveled with her on her trips as Secretary of State. The State Dept. has even failed to meet it's own self-imposed deadlines to release the requested info, which makes it look like "someone" is prohibiting the release.

The State Department has failed to turn over government documents covering Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state that The Associated Press and others requested under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act ahead of her presumptive presidential campaign. They include one request AP made four years ago and others pending for more than one year.

The agency already has missed deadlines it set for itself to turn over the material.

The State Department denied the AP's requests, and rejected the AP's subsequent appeals, to release the records sought quickly under a provision in the law reserved for journalists requesting federal records about especially newsworthy topics.

In its requests, the AP cited the likely prospect of Clinton entering the 2016 race. The former first lady is widely considered the leading Democratic contender hoping to succeed President Obama. She has made scores of recent high-profile speeches and public appearances.

What Difference Does It Make

Using the excuse that police like to use, if she has nothing to hide, then why hide it? The fact that they are refusing to release her files gives the impression that there is something being hidden.

Files that haven't been redacted into worthlessness on Benghazi will never be released in our lifetime.

Don't worry they will get released....right after she wins the 2016 election.

Where is Imac7065 and JustAlex to say that the Kangaroo Court Senate Report already proved that absolutely nothing was done wrong in Benghazi?

In their defense they don't like Clinton either. Nobody does. Except for the media and the elites nobody else is pushing people like Clinton or Jeb for 2016.

Alex may not like Hillary Clinton, but Jeremy is still sporting his Bill Clinton Underoos.

I don't know about JustAlex or Imac, but in polls of potential Democrats who could run for prez Clinton is pulling over 60% of Democratic voters. Its not just the elites.
