[insta8er]

The U.S. State Department, responding to a Freedom of Information Act request, has said they will not release Hillary Clinton's emails related to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement until November 31.

1. Good

The public and the media would intentionally misunderstand her.

4. LOL hahahahahahhahhahahhahahaaaaaaaaaaa

6. Given Hillary's proclivity for transparency, I would think she'd be in favor of releasing all her emails. I'm confused.

13. well, that confirms she will push for and implement the TPP if she wins. If there was no worries

they would release them. Or it might be knee jerk. No republicans but Trump remain and he never gave speeches to the leaches. Bernie released his. Her conditions have been met yet still no wall street speeches. Amazing. Love that transparency.

21. There is little doubt she will sign and implement the TPP as POTUS.

12. I'm sure you'll still be here to explain it to us if they ever are released.

"Look see if you squint your eyes just right... Gold Standard!!!11!"

2. It's hard for her to flippity flop pander when her words are on email.

3. Is this standard practice?

Or is it the Non Freedom of Information Act!

5. There is no such date as November 31

Wtf?

[Juicy_Bellows]

7. Exactly!

Haha, I don't know maybe that was intentional?

15. It's basically them saying go screw yourselves

8. November 31? Typo maybe. I'll vote for her after I read them.

9. No typo, they actually put this out. It looks like they made a mistake without noticing it.

In their efforts to make it after the elections..one has to wonder why? But let's wait for team weathervane to come up with a "plausible" explanation.

10. That's odd

Hopefully that is the standard amount of time it takes for request to response. Otherwise, that does not seem fair. I am a strong Hillary supporter.

14. She's down with TPP ....you know her

[insta8er]

18. I see what you did there lol..

16. Considering foreign state espionage and hacker interest in HRC's emails,

can only hope that control really exists within the US State Dept

[Major Hogwash]

17. I doubt they even know how many people already have copies of her emails.

I'm sure that Wikileaks has quite a few of her emails, and they don't seem to care about FOIA requests either!

19. In the famous words of camp weathervane...tick,tock,tick

20. Gee . . . wonder what's in them? Not hard to guess.

Like the Goldman transcripts, we'll all get to find out after the election. At least I've found a bright side to the enactment of the TPP. If it's passed the small pickup trucks everyone used to always buy (and are the most popular trucks in the world) will be imported again. Something known as the "chicken tax" is the reason they stopped being imported and that will go away. I haven't figured out a positive side to Goldman screwing us over though. Just keep telling yourself you don't need that much food in retirement.
