Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton appeared on "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on the Fox News Business Channel Tuesday, February 23, 2016, regarding District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan decision to grant Judicial Watch's motion for discovery into whether the State Department and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton deliberately thwarted the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for six years. The developments come in a Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Clinton. The lawsuit was reopened because of revelations about Clinton's separate email records (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)).
"Judge Sullivan's ruling granting Judicial Watch's request for discovery is a major victory for the public's right to know the truth about Hillary Clinton's email system. The court-ordered discovery will help determine why the State Department and Mrs. Clinton, even despite receiving numerous FOIA requests, kept the record system secret for years. Our proposed discovery, which will require court approval, will include testimony of current and former officials of the State Department. While Mrs. Clinton's testimony may not be required initially, it may happen that her testimony is necessary for the Court to resolve the legal issues about her unprecedented email practices." - Tom Fitton
This is pretty big. Surprising there hasn't been more news coverage on it. Big thank you to Lou Dobbs for airing it. Another feather in the cap for one of Fox News' real conservatives >> Lay Down the Law Lou.
