Obama appointed judge socks it to Hillary Clinton and her campaign
In a news story that is being ignored or relegated to the news media’s “scant coverage” file, a black, female judge is giving Hillary Clinton and her campaign minions and supporters agita with her latest ruling from the federal bench. The federal judge ordered the Obama administration to release the as yet undisclosed emails connected to Hillary Clinton in the weeks prior to the highly-anticipated Democratic National Convention in July.
In her order late on June 1, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson told the U.S. State Department’s Agency for International Development (USAID) to turn over to officials at the Republican National Committee (RNC) whatever records that are part of an RNC’s lawsuit by July 11, 2016.
What many observers find surprising is the fact that Judge Jackson was appointed to the federal bench by President Barack Obama in 2013 and is considered to be on his short-list for U.S. Supreme Court nomination. She is also related to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan by marriage. Her biography reveals she is a die-hard Democrat who is part of the Washington, D.C. establishment.
Jackson’s ruling will hopefully result in at least some of the documents being released two weeks before the Democratic National Convention takes place on July 25. With a primary stacked against anyone opposing her, Clinton is the presumed Democratic nominee for president.
The release of Hillary Clinton’s documents will give the RNC a week to peruse the documents before their own convention in Cleveland, Ohio on July 18. “It certainly will give Trump fuel for the anti-Hillary fire. It may also provide more criminal charges against Mrs. Clinton or her close associates such as Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin.
After the July 11 document release, officials from USAID will need to consult with Obama’s administrators at the State Department about hundreds of other pages of documents being released in upcoming weeks.
MORE THAN JUST THE CLINTON EMAIL SCANDAL
In March 2016, attorneys representing the RNC sued the State Department’s foreign aid agency. The RNC sought communications between USAID officials and former aides at the State Department. The RNC also sought those Internet communications between USAID and private domain names associated with Hillary, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and others including the Clinton Foundation.
According to the reports on the lawsuit: “The effort appeared to be related to allegations that the former secretary of State’s family foundation had undue influence on USAID.”
“The RNC has used the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in a number of lawsuits to have these emails released. Hillary and her staff were being protected by the Obama administration and these records should have already been a matter of public record,” said political strategist Mike Baker. “American voters deserve answers, and these emails must be released for voters to see how corrupt Hillary Clinton truly is!”
“Hillary Clinton endangered our national security and created a culture where top staffers went rogue, silenced career officials and hid a reckless email scheme that placed her political ambitions above all else,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.
“These records show that like Clinton, her closest aides did not meet their responsibilities to protect classified information regardless of whether it was marked,” Priebus noted.
