http://bigstory.ap.org/article/ab02...new-record-denying-censoring-government-files US sets new record for denying, censoring government files WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration set a new record again for more often than ever censoring government files or outright denying access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press. The government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it couldn't find documents, and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy. It also acknowledged in nearly 1 in 3 cases that its initial decisions to withhold or censor records were improper under the law — but only when it was challenged. Its backlog of unanswered requests at year's end grew remarkably by 55 percent to more than 200,000. It also cut by 375, or about 9 percent, the number of full-time employees across government paid to look for records. That was the fewest number of employees working on the issue in five years.
This isn't a Republican issue, or a Democratic issue. This is an issue about our rights as Americans to hold our elected officials accountable. Here is just the latest outrage (with delicious irony as to the date): https://www.techdirt.com/articles/2...e-administration-completely-unfoia-able.shtml These people forget their place. They work for us, not the other way around. Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, no matter. They are accountable to us. If they don't like it, they can find another vocation. As was once said, "Where the People fear the Government, there is Tyrrany. Where the Government fears the People, there is Liberty." I choose Liberty.
Read my article. "Dozens of Bush White House staff used a series of private email accounts provided by the Republican National Committee" Besides, the issue is whether they and Hillary used a private e-mail account. It doesn't matter whether the account is on Hotmail or a government server. I look forward to the Republicans pushing for an investigation of Hillary on this matter. (It will be deep-sixed, to hide their own guilt.)
Good article. As I've posted before...The people elected Obama to reverse Bush's evils. Instead, he codified them into law, because intelligence agencies had installed a Constitutional lawyer to get them off the hook.
They still used the government email servers. Hillary NEVER did. And they never traded favors for donations to their "charity."
In Bush's time, the Democrat raised hell about doing business on the government accounts, so it was deemed they must use private accounts, (the RNC) to do political business. So the political was done on the RNC and the public done on the government accounts. Thus Hiillary's charge of shreding the Constitution with using secret accounts. All possible to audit though. They later merged all this into the archives which raise hell again for removing them from the private server. However, none were lost. the removed count matches the archive count. Nobody knows nor can they audit what ever the fuck Hillary did.
Geez! These guy have to step up one of these days. "Gowdy said that Clinton’s response to the subpoena means he and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will now contemplate new legal actions against Clinton." They hold the only recourse. The flaunting of the constitution by this administration is almost like our Constitutional Republic has suffered a Coupe. This is blatant disregard for right or law.
A female Nixon clone but without the good qualities (he made peace with China and Russia among other things). http://dailycaller.com/2015/08/15/c...ther-she-is-capable-of-being-president-video/ Hillary Clinton’s email scandal should disqualify her from the Oval Office. At least so says former CIA operative and CNN national security analyst Bob Baer, who is not known for being a political partisan. “If this was on her server and it got into her smart phone, there’s a big problem there,” Baer said during an appearance on CNN International Saturday, noting that the sensitivity of the information reportedly found on Clinton’s private server was likely more secret than what Edward Snowden pilfered. “Seriously, if I had sent a document like this over the open Internet I’d get fired the same day, escorted to the door and gone for good — and probably charged with mishandling classified information,” Baer said.

I'm not exactly for any of the candidates yet. Only one republican seems OK, and that's Kasich, but I doubt he goes far. Last time I voted for Gary Johnson. http://2016.libertarian-party.org/Johnson/
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/21/us-usa-election-clinton-emails-idUSKCN0QQ0BW20150821 Exclusive: Dozens of Clinton emails were classified from the start, U.S. rules suggest While the department is now stamping a few dozen of the publicly released emails as "Classified," it stresses this is not evidence of rule-breaking. Those stamps are new, it says, and do not mean the information was classified when Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner in the 2016 presidential election, first sent or received it. But the details included in those "Classified" stamps — which include a string of dates, letters and numbers describing the nature of the classification — appear to undermine this account, a Reuters examination of the emails and the relevant regulations has found. The new stamps indicate that some of Clinton's emails from her time as the nation's most senior diplomat are filled with a type of information the U.S. government and the department's own regulations automatically deems classified from the get-go — regardless of whether it is already marked that way or not.
The truth comes out in drip drip drip fashion. And each time, it contradicts what she's claimed previously. I'm fine with a woman or hispanic or black president. Just not her.
