Why the Hillary Clinton Email Probe is Far from Over

<p>Just because the FBI has closed its official investigation into Hillary Clinton&rsquo&semi;s inappropriate use of her private email server while as the Secretary of State doesn&rsquo&semi;t mean the probe is over&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">More classified documents by the former Democratic presidential candidate keep being handed over to the State Department&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">Back in February of 2016&comma; the State Department reviewed 30&comma;000 emails that Clinton handed over three months prior&period; She also deleted 32&comma;000 &ldquo&semi;personal&rdquo&semi; messages&period; &nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">Last summer&comma; the FBI gave the State Department tens of thousands of additional emails from its investigation&period; Then in June&comma; the FBI gave the department an additional 7&comma;000 documents found from the Clinton top aide Huma Abedin and her husband&comma; Anthony Weiner&rsquo&semi;s investigation&period; &nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">It&rsquo&semi;s safe to say that the department will be busy reviewing these documents for a long time&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">&ldquo&semi;At this time&comma; we do not have an estimate for completion of processing all of these documents&comma;&rdquo&semi;&nbsp&semi;said an official at the State Department to <em style&equals;"mso-bidi-font-style&colon; normal&semi;">The Washington Times&period;<&sol;em> &ldquo&semi;We have not yet determined how many of these documents are&nbsp&semi;State Department&nbsp&semi;records as opposed to personal emails&comma; nor have we determined how many documents are duplicative of material already in our possession&period;&rdquo&semi;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">The latest batch of documents has at least two emails with confidential information&period; So far&comma; there have been 2&comma;083 confidential documents that were accessed on Clinton&rsquo&semi;s unsecured email server&period; &nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">The FBI said this week that there isn&rsquo&semi;t enough public interest in releasing the documents&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">&ldquo&semi;You have not sufficiently demonstrated that the public&rsquo&semi;s interest in disclosure outweighs personal privacy interests of the subject&comma;&rdquo&semi; said David M&period; Hardy&comma; FBI records management section chief to Ty Clevenger&comma; who is on a mission to get the documents released&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">&ldquo&semi;I&rsquo&semi;m just stunned&period; This is exactly what I would have expected had&nbsp&semi;Mrs&period; Clinton&nbsp&semi;won the election&comma; but she didn&rsquo&semi;t&period; It looks like the Obama administration is still running the&nbsp&semi;FBI&comma;&rdquo&semi;&nbsp&semi;said Clevenger to <em style&equals;"mso-bidi-font-style&colon; normal&semi;">The Washington Times&period;<&sol;em> &ldquo&semi;How can a story receive national news coverage and not be a matter of public interest&quest; If this is the new standard&comma; then there&rsquo&semi;s no such thing as a public interest exception&period;&rdquo&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">FBI Director Andrew McCabe&comma; who has several ties to Hillary Clinton&comma; is too busy running the investigation on Trump&rsquo&semi;s alleged collusion with Russia instead&period; &nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">&ldquo&semi;The fight for transparency in&nbsp&semi;Mrs&period; Clinton&rsquo&semi;s emails has broken major ground in open-records laws&comma; and more legal battles are still to come&period; The conservative legal group Judicial Watch&comma; which has been at the forefront of the fight to make the emails public&comma; has at least nine Freedom of Information Act lawsuits pending&comma;&rdquo&semi; writes <em style&equals;"mso-bidi-font-style&colon; normal&semi;">The Washington Times&period;<&sol;em> &ldquo&semi;The group scored a legal victory last week when District Court Judge Amit P&period; Mehta ordered the&nbsp&semi;State Department&nbsp&semi;to expand its search for&nbsp&semi;Mrs&period; Clinton&rsquo&semi;s emails related to the terrorist attack on a U&period;S&period; diplomatic outpost in Benghazi&comma; Libya&period;&rdquo&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">&ldquo&semi;It&rsquo&semi;s not about politics&period; It&rsquo&semi;s just about finding the truth as to what happened&comma;&rdquo&semi; said Ramona Cotca&comma; a senior attorney for Judicial Watch&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal"><strong>Author&rsquo&semi;s note&colon;<&sol;strong> We the public are indeed interested&period; Maybe it seems like there isn&rsquo&semi;t much public interest because the mainstream media is not covering this properly&period;&nbsp&semi;The public should be concerned because Hillary Clinton was a presidential candidate and will likely run again&period; Not to mention&comma; she is still influential in politics&period; Her criminal activity needs to be further examined&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal"><strong>Editor&&num;8217&semi;s note&colon;<&sol;strong> A judge just ordered the release of additional Hillary documents from the FBI&comma; so look for new fun from the conservative media shortly&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
