"State Dept Delays E-Mail Release Until After 1st Primary; Blames own Incompetence and Snow
In a court filing late on Thursday evening, the department insisted that it “regrets” its inability to publish the final 7,000 pages on Friday, as a federal court ordered it to do last year.
Yet it defended the delay, blaming an internal oversight and the snowstorm that crippled Washington in the past week.
As part of the process of making the emails public, the State Department is required to have other agencies review Clinton’s emails to check if any information should be redacted or marked as classified.
According to the department, it simply “missed” sending roughly 7,000 pages of emails to other agencies, and did not notice the oversight until earlier this month. Its efforts to correct the problem were further delayed by the snowstorm, which closed the federal government through Wednesday."
LINK: State to release some Clinton emails on Friday; thousands still delayed
FORCING VOTERS TO MAKE A CHOICE WHILE WITHHOLDING INFORMATION THEY ARE ENTITLED TO AND WHICH COULD AFFECT DECISION / CHOICES AT THE POLLS?!
“f the Court allows State to delay release of thousands of pages of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s official work emails, a substantial portion of the electorate will be forced to vote without the benefit of important information to which it is entitled about the performance of one of the candidates for U.S. President while serving as Secretary of State,” lawyers opposing the department’s schedule claimed earlier this week. "
State Dept Lawyers responded by basically saying the fact that the information that should have been released already COULD potentially affect the way people vote does not matter, as it does not change the fact that (due to their foot dragging and own admitted incompetence/error) they need more time to release the e-mails.
----------------
So, since even the State Department admits the e-mails still not released COULD have an impact on voters' decisions regarding on who to vote for...IF some extremely damaging new information comes out after a primary / several primaries AND if Hillary wins those, could someone - voters in those elections or even Sanders' camp - call for / sue to have the results, as they pertain to the impact on who wins the DNC's nomination, thrown out and/or call for a NEW primary election in those states based on new information released to the public?
The argument could be made that such new damaging information, had it been released BEFORE the primaries, COULD have made such an impact on the voting as to have reversed / changed the outcome, which could make a huge impact on who wins the eventual nomination....
This could (small chance) have as much of an impact on the DNC nomination outcome as Cruz's legal ability to run for office, should challenges / law suits be filed.
