Obama's State Department Turns Up Over 81,000 Emails From Top Hillary Clinton Aide They Swore Didn’t Exist
State Department Turns Up Over 81,000 Emails From Top Hillary Clinton Aide They Swore Didn’t Exist
State Department officials have uncovered thousands of emails between Philippe Reines, a top Hillary Clinton aide, and members of the media, they previously said did not exist.
In a court filing last Thursday, the State Department estimated that a recent search turned up more than 81,000 emails from Reines’s official account while at the State Department. And 17,855 potentially fall within a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by Gawker earlier this year.
That is a reversal from 2013, when the State Department said a thorough search turned up no responsive records for Gawker’s request. In 2012, Gawker requested all emails between Reines and reporters from 34 media outlets.
The State Department did not explain the reversal in the court document, nor did it return a request for comment.
It will begin releasing a tranche of Reines’s emails by the end of September.
After it was revealed earlier this year that Clinton, and potentially some of her aides, used personal email accounts for official business, Gawker sued the State Department over its initial request for communications between Reines and reporters.

If obama decides Hillary is a used up liability, his DOJ will have a field day prosecuting her. Even if they decide to stall the process her campaign is badly crippled. At her age this is the only shot she will have for that office. I hope she is done for.
