Judge Rejects DoJ's Classified Court Filing on Clinton E-mails.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/judge-rejects-dojs-classified-court-filing-on-clinton-emails/article/2589096

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the Justice Department needs to make public at least a partial copy of a classified filing that seeks to keep details about Hillary Clinton's private server out of the public eye.

The ruling comes after the department submitted a classified filing to U.S. District Court Judge Randy Moss last month asking that he prevent certain information about the server from being released. In a motion filed on Tuesday, Vice News reporter Jason Leopold asked the court to deny that request.

Leopold argued that the department had submitted the filing "without prior permission from the court," or proper notice to Leopold, who has filed a Freedom of Information Act suit seeking details of what the FBI may know about the classified information Clinton improperly kept on her server.

Though more than 30,000 emails Clinton sent or received as secretary of state were released by the State Department over the last year, Leopold is seeking another 30,000 messages Clinton deleted after she decided they were "personal" in nature. As part of its investigation into Clinton's conduct, the FBI is believed to have recovered at least some of those messages.

The agency has maintained that releasing any new information could harm its investigation. If the Justice Department maintains that providing a redacted copy of its filing is not possible, the order from Moss demands that the department show cause. Government attorneys have until April 26 to respond.

And if the indictment fairy does indeed happen to pay Hillary a visit. Hillary's supporters will still find a reason not to fault her. Some will still want her to run.

Plus, we know the FBI recovered ALL the emails....

"...releasing any new information could harm its investigation."


Looks like they are investigating serious business - who knew the FBI did that?

She knew there were classified top secret emails on her homebrew server and said that there weren't.
Seriously, you can't lock down your email accounts and you want to run the country?
