[WND] Government watchdog Judicial Watch revealed Friday it has obtained another 186 pages of documentation from the Justice Department regarding Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, and they show evidence of a cover-up of an FBI chart of possible violations by her.
"Judicial Watch caught the FBI in another cover-up to protect Hillary Clinton," said the organization’s president, Tom Fitton.
"These records show that the FBI is hiding a chart detailing possible violations of the law by Hillary Clinton and the supposed reasons she was not prosecuted."
Judicial Watch recently released hundreds of pages of records showing former FBI General Counsel James Baker discussed the investigation of Clinton-related emails on Anthony Weiner’s laptop with Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall.
The latest cache of documents was obtained from the government through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed against the Department of Justice after it failed to respond to a 2017 FOIA request seeking all communications between fired FBI official Peter Strzok and his paramour, FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
It was District Judge Reggie B. Walton who ordered the FBI to begin processing some 13,000 pages of records that fall under the order.
Judicial Watch found, three days after then-FBI Director James Comey’s press conference announcing that he would not recommend a prosecution of Clinton, a July 8, 2016, an email chain showing that the special counsel to the FBI’s executive assistant director in charge of the National Security Branch told Strzok he was making a "chart of the statutory violations considered during the investigation [of Clinton’s private email system], and the reasons for the recommendation not to prosecute." |
