Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Unveiled last Wednesday the secret-sharing website WikiLeaks has published a searchable archive of more than 30000 Hillary Clinton emails recently been released by the State Department. The archive allows users to browse through 30322 emails (and attachments) sent to-or-from Clintons private email server while she was Secretary of State. In all the archive comprises 50547 pages spanning from June 30 2010 to Aug. 12 2014.
According to the site Clinton authored 7570 of those documents.
The State Department began releasing the emails in May of 2015 pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request but it is the first time that the messages have been made easily available in a searchable format. The final PDFs of all the emails were just made available by the State Department in February 2016.
Though the department has completed its publication of Clinton emails it is now set to review 29000 pages of emails sent or received by Huma Abedin who served as Clintons deputy chief of staff from 2009-13. The department has said it plans to review at least 400 pages of Abedins emails every month. Completion is expected by April 2017.
While Wikileaks Wednesday release involved publicly available documents the site has gained a reputation for illegally leaking classified information including from the State Department. Army Pvt. Bradley Manning now known as Chelsea Manning is serving a 35-year prison sentence for leaking documents to the site both from the State and Defense Departments.
Documents Reveal Coordination Between State Clinton nonprofit
Documents released on Tuesday reveal that former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons staff at the State Department coordinated with staff at the Clinton Global Initiative to help her thank the nonprofits donors for their commitments. The information obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request includes emails from 2009 that were exchanged between prominent staff members at both organizations.
We can arrange it however HRC Hillary Rodham Clinton prefers says one Aug. 24 email from Amitabh Desai CGIs director of policy planning in reference to the agenda that would be in place for one of the organizations events. Ordinarily WJC William Jefferson Clinton announces these and then either introduces a guest or a panel discussion.
That message was addressed to Clintons chief of staff at the State Department Cheryl Mills who proceeded to include three additional recipients on the email chain. They included deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin Clintons director of policy planning Jacob Sullivan and Caitlin Klevorick a senior Clinton advisor who previously worked for Clintons nonprofit.
After clarifying how Clinton had structured a similar event the previous year Klevorick noted
One question is if we want to see if there is a decent mass of fs funds related commitments to announce together at closing as a mega commitment.That coordination between staff at the State Department and staff at the Clintons charitable fund could breathe new life into a probe by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that reportedly began in January. The agency reportedly began that investigation as a result of findings that resulted from looking at Clintons use of a private server as secretary of state. Some of the charges that could result from the probe experts have said include criminal conflict of interest criminal conspiracy and conversion or the use of public funds for private purposes.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton blasted Clinton for the findings in a statement.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton worked hand in glove with the Clinton Foundation on fundraising and foreign policy Fitton said.
Despite the law and her promises to the contrary Hillary Clinton turned the State Department into the D.C. office of the Clinton Foundation.
A transcript of Clintons speech suggests she ultimately did make a vague expression of gratitude to those making exceptional commitments but also to track down those whose commitments didnt quite measure up as we do. This is an exceptional gathering of people who have made exceptional commitments to bettering our world Clinton said. She later added Were going to track commitments just as we do here at CGI to make sure pledges are fulfilled and to gather data and publicly track our progress and results. That way we are all accountable and well know if were falling short and need to change strategies the transcript recounts Clinton telling the audience.
