FBI Finds 14,900 More Documents From Hillary Clinton's Email Server (go.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from ABC News: The FBI uncovered nearly 15,000 more emails and materials sent to or from Hillary Clinton as part of the agency's investigation into her use of private email at the State Department. The documents were not among the 30,000 work-related emails turned over to the State Department by her attorneys in December 2014. The State Department confirmed it has received "tens of thousands" of personal and work-related email materials -- including the 14,900 emails found by the FBI -- that it will review. At a status hearing Monday before federal Judge Emmett Sullivan, who is overseeing that case, the State Department presented a schedule for how it would release the emails found by the FBI. The first group of 14,900 emails was ordered released, and a status hearing on Sept. 23 "will determine the release of the new emails and documents," Sullivan said. "As we have previously explained, the State Department voluntarily agreed to produce to Judicial Watch any emails sent or received by Secretary Clinton in her official capacity during her tenure as secretary of state which are contained within the material turned over by the FBI and which were not already processed for FOIA by the State Department," said State Department spokesman Mark Toner in a statement issued Monday. "We can confirm that the FBI material includes tens of thousands of non-record (meaning personal) and record materials that will have to be carefully appraised at State," it read. "State has not yet had the opportunity to complete a review of the documents to determine whether they are agency records or if they are duplicative of documents State has already produced through the Freedom of Information Act" said Toner, declining further comment.

  1. Elect Trump for Honest Government by CajunArson · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Not because he's necessarily more honest than Hillary but simply because 95% of the press will refuse to give him a free pass for literally everything he does.

    If Hillary gets elected then press-protected official bribery becomes the new "normal".

      I'm deciding on which of my "A Plague on Both Your Parties" vote I'm going to indulge in this year. Both candidates are absolutely unacceptable in a "I don't care who they're running against" sense.

      Of course, since I'm in a state that's going to give all its electoral votes to Hillary no matter what, I can afford to stick to my principles without any consideration of it making any difference in the outcome. I won't judge the decisions of anyone whose situation is different.

      One advantage a Trump administration would have over a Clinton administration is that it would be short. Trump does not seem to have any more capacity to understand that laws apply to him than Hillary does... maybe even less. However, Trump is hated by most of the news media, most of the Republicans in the House and Senate, and all of the Democrats. The very first thing he does that can be construed as a "high crime or misdemeanor", and impeachment in the House proceeding to removal from office by the Senate will proceed at Warp Factor 10.

      Hillary, by contrast, the Democrats will not vote to remove her even if she's performing daily human sacrifices to Cthulhu on the White House lawn.

  2. Don't expect them before the election by Crashmarik · · Score: 5, Interesting

    None of Hillary Clinton's work-related emails discovered by the FBI after being deleted from her private server have been released, raising questions about whether any will be seen in public before Election Day.
