#1 ...that the urgency to release the documents has been diminished by the public's lack of interest in the subject, according to the watchdog group that won the lawsuit for the document's release.
Fine. Is there a CyberSecurity Group in the Defense Department that can handle the job that State is too incompetent to handle? Don't you think that the DoD spooks would love to look through States's files. *Evil Grin*

#4 The beaucrats of the state department are just practicing 'suicide prevention' .

#7 State Department spokeswoman Pooja Jhunjhunwala told Circa "‎the Department takes its records management responsibilities seriously.

Yeah sure. Like when the State Dept. and Obama knew and allowed Hillary to send and receive top secret and SAP documents from her home-based, unprotected personal commuter? Cough up the damned emails and quit trying to protect this sleazy, evil, crook.

#8 Who runs the payroll over there. Just delay their monthly checks one day for every week of delay. There's less urgency as the ~~deplorables~~ people have a low interest in your work as well.

#10 Perhaps the justice department can find new ways to motivate them. Throw a few in prison and they'll redouble their efforts.

#13 State Department's doing something right - got our renewal passports back in two weeks, including Post Office time back and forth, without any expedited service. They had said allow 6-8 weeks.

#14 Its not the interest or lack of interest that is important here. It is the principle!

#15 They had said allow 6-8 weeks.

Not impressed yet.

#16 Is the WH still doing the citizen petition thing? I've got a feeling there would be an over-whelming response in the affirmative for expedited handling of Hildabeest's emails.
