The State Department on Tuesday notified Vice News that it will not release documents responsive to the news outlet’s FOIA requests related to the security of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server until after the November election.

According to Vice News reporter Jason Koebler, soon after news broke of Clinton’s use of a private e-mail for State Department business, he filed a FOIA request with the State Department seeking “communications, presentations, and procedures created by the State Department to secure Hillary Clinton’s email from electronic threats.”

In his new report released on Thursday, Koebler describes how despite several promises from the State Department over the course of the past year to expedite the process, he is still waiting for responses about what procedures the State Department created to help keep Clinton’s e-mails and private server secure. Then, on Tuesday, Koebler received an e-mail update from the State Department regarding to “outgoing processing of his request” that informed him the estimated competition date had been stretched out again, until at least December 2016 — one month after the election.

1. Oops. Coverup.

3. I believe that some entities will sue over this.

I still don't know why the State Department must spend money and resources to defend a former employee from lawful action. The emails belong to the people, not to HRC or the SD.

5. Agreed. It's a suit the SD will lose...

...but they're just stalling for time, with no repercussions. Judge should start issuing contempt citations.

6. unacceptable; they must be totally incriminating, else why suppress them

8. I just thought of something

Maybe there's some incrimination for other top SD officials. Some sort of risk. And maybe HRC is exploiting that in a form of blackmail.

9. because I can't freaking figure out why it is up to the SD..

....to protect her?

11. Could they get more shady?

We might as well elect the mob.

[grasswire]

12. It is a sort of mob.

A charity racket mixed in with SD business.
