Homeland Security Coming For Obama and Hillary, Calls For Emails From DOJ
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson has given the Department of Justice until November 14, 2019 to produce ALL email correspondence between former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Johnson had already requested access to these emails but was denied by the DOJ even though they could help learn whether or not sensitive issues were discussed in an unsecured manner.
“I write to request email communications between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama. In January 2018, I requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) produce emails Secretary Clinton sent to President Obama while she was located in the ‘territory of a sophisticated adversary.'”
“Given that DOJ acknowledged that they ‘are not in a position’ to produce emails to the committee that contain ‘equities of other executive branch entities,’ I ask that, pursuant to the Presidential Records Act, you please provide all email communications between Secretary Clinton and President Obama.”
According to Fox News,
Many Clinton emails already have been released. A batch of unearthed, heavily redacted and classified emails from Clinton’s personal email server, published this past March, revealed that the former secretary of state discussed establishing a “private, 100% off-the-record” back channel to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and that one of her top aides warned her she was in “danger” of being “savaged by Jewish organizations, in the Jewish press and among the phalanx of neoconservative media” as a result of political machinations by “Bibi and the Jewish leadership.”
The 756-page group of documents, revealed as part of a transparency lawsuit by Judicial Watch, seemingly contradicted Clinton’s insistence under oath in 2015 that she had turned over all of her sensitive work-related emails to the State Department, and included a slew of classified communications on everything from foreign policy to State Department personnel matters.
The files came from a trove of 72,000 documents the FBI recovered and turned over to the State Department in 2017.
