Yesterday I posted a Judicial Watch press release
about Huma Abedin removing State Department Documents that I interpreted as Classified
in the tags. Apparently, the documents were a part of a deal between Crooked
Hillary and the Obama Administration to be kept secret and not susceptible to a
FOIA request. JW did point that out, I just interpreted it incorrectly.
The premise that JW was establishing was an Obama
Administration/Crooked Hillary cover-up to protect her Secretary of State
dealings from incriminating her of personal gain. That brings us back to the criminality of a Clinton Crime Syndicate
and Pay-to-Play.

HILLARY, HUMA CARTED OFF 'MUSLIM' FILES, OTHER DOCS
State allowed them to classify work-related items as
'personal'
By ART MOORE
12/14/17
Faced with allegations of
mishandling classified information, the State Department allowed Hillary
Clinton and top aide Huma Abedin to take files of telephone calls, schedules
and other work-related information under the claim they were “personal” and
“unclassified, non-record” materials, according to newly released documents.
The records newly obtained by
the Washington watchdog Judicial Watch show that Abedin was allowed to take five
boxes of “physical files” out of the State Department that include records
described as “Muslim Engagement Documents.”
And Clinton was allowed to
take personal correspondence and gift binders, which could be relevant to
allegations that donations were made to the family’s Clinton Foundation and
Clinton Global Initiative in exchange for favorable policy decisions.
WND previously reported emails obtained by Judicial Watch showed Abedin
doing favors for a Russia-connected group on behalf of the Clinton Foundation
while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
Abedin, who grew up in Saudi
Arabia, worked for an organization founded by her family that promotes the
kingdom’s strict Wahhabi interpretation of Islam. She was a member of the
executive board of the Muslim Student Association, which was identified as a
Muslim Brotherhood front group in a 1991 document introduced into evidence
during the terror-financing trial of the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation
Previous Judicial Watch
investigations revealed numerous examples of Clinton’s schedule being broadcast
via email through her unsecure, non-government server.
The records newly uncovered
by Judicial Watch also contain a list of materials removed by Clinton that were
accumulated by Robert Russo, Clinton’s then-special assistant, including PDFs
of Clinton’s “correspondence in response to gifts … thank you and acknowledgements.”
The documents indicate that
Clinton removed a physical file of “the log of the Secretary’s gifts with
pictures of gifts.” Judicial Watch noted the receipt of gifts by federal
employees in the Executive Branch is regulated. A “prohibited source” of gifts,
for example, is “one whose interests may be substantially affected by the
performance or nonperformance of the employee’s official duties.”
The documents show the State
Department records would not be “released to the general public” under any
Freedom of Information Act request.
“We already know the Obama
State Department let Hillary Clinton steal and then delete her government
emails, which included classified information. But these new records show that
was only part of the scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
“These new documents show the
Obama State Department had a deal with Hillary Clinton to hide her calls logs
and schedules, which would be contrary to FOIA and other laws,” Fitton said.
“When are the American people
going to get an honest investigation of the Clinton crimes?”
Hillary team gets a pass
The revelations come amid
news that FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was dismissed by special counsel Robert
Mueller in the “Russia collusion” investigation for demonstrating personal bias
against President Trump, was a key figure in the bureau’s investigation of
Clinton’s mishandling of classified information.
It was Strzok who, according to sources cited by CNN,
changed the language of FBI Director James Comey’s earlier draft describing
Clinton’s actions as “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless.” It was a
critical legal distinction that Comey used to explain why he did not refer
charges to the Justice Department.
Abedin and longtime Clinton
counsel Cheryl Mills, according to official FBI summaries of their interviews
with Strzok, made misleading statements regarding Clinton’s mishandling of
national secrets but faced no consequences, unlike former National Security
Adviser Michael Flynn, who was charged with a felony, the Daily Caller reported.
Clinton violated State
Department standards by using several home-brew email servers to conduct her
official government business as secretary of state. In his July 5, 2016,
announcement, Comey said the bureau’s investigation found that of 30,000 emails
Clinton handed over to the State Department, 110 contained information that was
classified at the time she sent or received them. A few, Comey said, bore
markings that identified them as classified.
The bureau also discovered
“several thousand” work-related emails that Clinton had not turned over to the
State Department – three of those emails contained classified information. And
Comey said it was “possible” that hostile foreign governments had gained access
to Clinton’s personal account, noting she also regularly used her mobile device
on foreign trips, including “in the territory of sophisticated adversaries.”
Comey’s finding conflicted
with Clinton’s repeated assertions that none of the emails were classified at
the time she sent or received them.
State required keeping
released docs secret
The new information obtained
by Judicial Watch includes a list of official and personal calls, and schedules
that carry a special notation that the documents were released to Clinton on
the condition that they not be made public.
Judicial Watch point out that
the notation is on an addendum to a DS-1904 form, which authorizes the
removal of personal papers and non-record materials. The form was signed
by Clarence N. Finney Jr., then-director of the Office of Correspondence and
Records.
Judicial Watch said it has
a pending request to depose Finney in
separate litigation concerning Clinton emails and the Benghazi terrorist
attack.
