Judicial Watch, thanks to FOIA requests, has released
documents that goes further to the FBI, DOJ and surprise – the State
Department; are covering up Crooked Hillary crimes. If my thought is correct,
Obama Administration collusion must have been involved in covering for their
then hoped for 2016 Crooked Hillary election victory.

Judicial Watch: State Department Made Deal with Hillary
Clinton to Keep Call Log, Schedules Secret
JW Press Release - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 14, 2017
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released
new U.S. Department of State documents showing former
Secretary Hillary Clinton and her then-Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin were
permitted to remove electronic and physical records under a claim they were
“personal” materials and “unclassified, non-record materials,” including files
of Clinton’s calls and schedules, which were not to be made public. The
documents show the Obama State Department records would not be “released to the
general public under FOIA.”
The new records also show that Huma Abedin was allowed to take five boxes of “physical files” out of the State Department that include records described as “Muslim Engagement Documents.”
Judicial Watch obtained the reports about the records from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for:
The new records also show that Huma Abedin was allowed to take five boxes of “physical files” out of the State Department that include records described as “Muslim Engagement Documents.”
Judicial Watch obtained the reports about the records from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for:
Any and all DS-1904 (Authorization
for the Removal of Personal Papers and Non-Record Materials) forms completed
by, or on behalf of, any of the following individuals:
Former Secretary Hillary Clinton
Former Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills
Former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma
Abedin
Former Deputy Chief of Staff Jacob
Sullivan
The documents include a list of official and personal calls
and schedules that Clinton removed, which carry a special notation that the
documents were not to be made public records. The notation is on an addendum to
a DS-1904 signed by Clarence N. Finney Jr., then-director of the Office of
Correspondence and Records, who was the reviewing officer. (Judicial Watch has
a pending request for the deposition
of Finney in separate litigation concerning Clinton emails and the Benghazi
terrorist attack.):
NOTE: The
Secretary’s call log, grid and schedules are not classified, however, they
would not be released to the general public under FOIA. They are being released
to the Secretary with this understanding. (Emphasis in original)
***
Electronic copy of "daily
files" - which are word versions of public documents and non-records:
speeches/press statements/photos from the website, a non-record copy of the
schedule, a non record copy of the call log, press clips, and agenda of daily
activities
Electronic copy of a log of calls
the Secretary made since 2004, it is a non-record, since her official calls are
logged elsewhere (official schedule and official call log)
Electronic copy of the Secretary's
"call grid" which is a running list of calls she wants to make (both
personal and official)
16 boxes: Personal Schedules (1993
thru 2008-prior to the Secretary's tenure at the Department of State.
29 boxes: Miscellaneous Public
Schedules during her tenure as FLOTUS and Senator-prior to the Secretary's
tenure at the Department of State
1 box: Personal Reimbursable
receipts (6/25/2009 thru 1/14/2013)
1 box: Personal Photos
1 box: Personal schedule
(2009-2013)
The originals of some Clinton documents were retained, such
as the call logs and schedules. For other records, including material that
predates Clinton’s tenure, there is no indication that a copy was made. The
most significant of these are her personal correspondence and gift binders,
which could reflect Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative ties.
Through its previous investigations Judicial Watch made public numerous examples of Clinton’s schedule being broadcast via email through her unsecure, non-government server (for example, see here, here, here and here.)
The records uncovered by Judicial Watch also contain a list of materials removed by Clinton accumulated by Robert Russo, Clinton’s then-special assistant, including PDFs of Clinton’s “correspondence in response to gifts … thank you and acknowledgements,” as well as other records.
The documents indicate that Clinton removed a physical file of “the log of the Secretary’s gifts with pictures of gifts.”
The receipt of gifts by federal employees in the Executive Branch is regulated:

The documents indicate that Clinton removed a physical file of “the log of the Secretary’s gifts with pictures of gifts.”
The receipt of gifts by federal employees in the Executive Branch is regulated:
A “prohibited source” [of gifts]
under the regulations is one who seeks official action from the employee’s
agency; one who does business or seeks to do business with the agency; one
whose activities are regulated by the employee’s agency; one whose interests may
be substantially affected by the performance or nonperformance of the
employee’s official duties; or an organization a majority of whose members fit
any of the above categories.
A gift is given “because of” the
employee’s official position if it would not have been offered “had the
employee not held the status, authority or duties associated with his Federal
position.” Gifts that are “motivated by a family relationship or personal
friendship” may therefore be accepted without limitation.
“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.
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,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “When are the
American people going to get an honest investigation of the Clinton crimes?”
