Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton characterized the released information as clear evidence of wrongdoing that compels the Trump administration to take action.
Pay to play, classified information mishandling, influence peddling, cover ups – these new emails show why the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s conduct must be resumed. The Trump Justice Department and FBI need to reassure the American people they have finally stopped providing political protection to Hillary Clinton.”
The documents include 91 Clinton email exchanges that weren’t turned over to the State Department, as she originally claimed. That brings the known total to date to at least 530 emails that were withheld from the 55,000 pages provided to the State Department.
As is normal with FOIA policy, some of the obtained documents have names redacted to protect the identity of those discussed. But the names uncovered in the released material provide some true revelations.
Emails from the unsecure, non-governmental account of Huma Abedin, Clinton’s then-deputy chief of staff and closest aide, reveal the secretary or her staff had expressed interest in meeting with such dictatorial thugs as Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Kim Jung II of North Korea.
In 2009 and 2010, several emails with classified information were received by Abedin on unsecured servers.
A number of emails show the free flow of information and requests for favors between Clinton’s State Department and the Clinton Foundation and major Clinton donors.”

At least one senior State Department official refused to send a classified document to Abedin’s account. Joseph E. MacManus, then-executive assistant to the secretary, told Abedin that a draft outline paper of Richard Holbrooke’s goals for a Pakistan trip “is classified so it cannot go by blackberry email.” As a result, MacManus sent the document through classified channels. Clinton signed the document and gave it to her communications people to transmit. But the communications team, wanting to send it by secure channels, waited till the following day to send it. That delay caused Cheryl Mills to inquire about the delay, which produced an abject apology by State Department official Daniel Smith to Mills: “I’m very sorry about what happened and that we all let the Secretary down.”
On April 16, 2009, Clinton aide Lona Valmoro asked Abedin if Clinton wanted to skip a meeting on “cyber security” in favor of a meeting on “Global Philanthropy.” Valmoro adds: “Jen said that Rice [presumably Condoleezza] rarely went to these, FYI.”
On April 23, 2010, Abedin tried to set up a secure call for Clinton with Dennis [last name unknown], but it didn’t connect, and Clinton said, “We’ve now tried twice to go secure and lost both calls.” After Abedin tells her she had tested the secure line, Clinton says “We finally gave up and talked in code nonsecure.”
Billionaire J.B. Pritzker emailed Band on March 21, 2009, asking him to forward the email to Clinton “via a non-govt email account.” The email, addressed to Abedin, references President Obama’s treatment of Netanyahu and Clinton’s speech the next day at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference and warns that there is “lots of deep concern at Obama (even all the Dems here) … I know it seems obvious, but during the presentation tomorrow I suggest focusing on Iran, Iran, and Iran.” Pritzker attaches an article by Lloyd Grove entitled “Jewish Anger: Will There Be Historic Break from the Dems?” Band forwards the email to Abedin without comment.
The same night Abedin emailed Clinton, saying, “pir [Philippe Reines] mentioned that if you plan to call potus tonite or tomorrow, he wants to leak it.”
Among the people seeking favors were such donors as Howard Buffett, Jr. (grandson of Warren Buffett), Puerto Rican telecom executive Miguel Lausell (who donated $1 million to the Clinton Presidential Library) and Kelly Craighead, then managing director of Democracy Alliance, a left-wing fundraising organization.
Emails show that Tony Rodham, Hillary’s brother, tried to use his relationship as leverage on three different issues. One such issue involved a friend caught up in a criminal case involving Micheil Saakashvili, then president of the Republic of Georgia.
The Rodham friend was having difficulty getting a green card due to his arrest, which he said was political retribution by Saakashvili.”
Abedin instructed an assistant to inform Rodham that the matter had been referred to the Department of Homeland Security.
Other communications demonstrated the lax attitude toward secure transmission of classified information and the willingness to share Clinton’s sensitive official schedule with employees at the Clinton Foundation.
The examples cited in Judicial Watch’s press release are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the corruption and criminality that occurred during Clinton’s service at the State Department. The names of all staff involved show the depth of contempt her staff had for the State Department regulations and the law.
It’s well past time for the Department of Justice to do its job and demonstrate everyone will treated equally under the law.
