NEW DOCUMENTS: White House Coordinated With Clinton On Email Scandal
Posted Friday, October 7th 2016 @ 12pm by Hannity.com Staff
Newly released emails show communication between top White House
officials, the State Department, and Hillary Clinton’s fledgling
presidential campaign, according to a report by the The Wall Street Journal Thursday.
The email exchanges, dating back to March 2015, show a coordinated
effort between the developing campaign and the Obama administration to
minimize the fallout from the breaking discovery of Clinton’s use of a
private email server while serving as Secretary of State from 2009 to
2013.
The never before seen documents were obtained by the Republican
National Committee through the Freedom of Information Act Lawsuit
seeking a release of all records from her time at the State Department.
Only a portion of the documents obtained were handed over to the Wall
Street Journal. The RNC said they only released the emails pertaining
specifically to the Clinton server scandal. It’s not clear if there is
more damaging documents yet to be released.
In one specific exchange, the White House communication director
requested the State Department pull newly appointed Secretary John Kerry
from scheduled media appearances to avoid having to answer any
questions on the scandal.
In another exchange, State Department officials assured Hillary
Clinton’s legal camp that they did not reveal to Congress her use of the
unsecured email server instead of government servers, as was previously
reported in the media.
The email scandal has plagued Hillary Clinton’s campaign since the
story broke in 2015. Republican presidential challenger Donald Trump has
accused the Obama administration of knowing Mrs. Clinton was using a
private server during her State Department tenure.
Although the FBI previously announced they will not press charges on
Clinton for the breach of communication security protocols, there are
still thousands of missing emails unaccounted for. Whether they will be
released to the media before the election still remain to be seen.
