Politics Judicial Watch: Obama Administration Withholds Draft Whitewater Indictment of Hillary Clinton

http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-...aft-whitewater-indictment-of-hillary-clinton/

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it is asking a federal court to order the National Archives and Records Administration to release draft criminal indictments of Hillary Clinton. In its motion for summary judgment, the National Archives claimed that “the drafts involve a significant [Clinton] privacy interest that is not outweighed by any public interest….” In its March 11 opposition brief, Judicial Watch counters that allegedly “making false statements and withholding evidence from federal investigators bears on Mrs. Clinton’s honesty, credibility, and trustworthiness … for the position she currently seeks,” rendering the National Archives claim “neither serious nor credible.”

These developments stem from an October 20, 2015, Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration (No. 15-cv-01740)) seeking:

All versions of indictments against Hillary Rodham Clinton, including but not limited to, Versions 1, 2, and 3 in box 2250 of the Hickman Ewing Attorney Files, the “HRC/_ Draft Indictment” in box 2256 of the Hickman Ewing Attorney Files, as well as any and all versions written by Deputy Independent Counsel Hickman Ewing, Jr. prior to September of 1996.

...


In response to a separate Judicial Watch FOIA investigation, the National Archives released 246 pages of previously undisclosed Office of Independent Counsel internal memos revealing extensive details about the investigation of Hillary Rodham Clinton for possible criminal charges involving her involvement with Madison Guaranty, including the infamous Whitewater/Castle Grande land transaction. The memos are “statements of the case” against Hillary Clinton and Webster Lee “Webb” Hubbell, Hillary Clinton’s former law partner and former Associate Attorney General in the Clinton Justice Department. Ultimately, the memos show that prosecutors declined to prosecute Clinton because of the difficulty of persuading a jury to convict a public figure as widely known as Clinton.

 

Hillarity should not be above the law. Why shouldn't the voters be informed?

 

What does the one have to do with the other?

This one.

 

Time weighs in. Comey is Obama's head of FBI.

Comey’s first brush with them came when Bill Clinton was president. Looking to get back into government after a stint in private practice, Comey signed on as deputy special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee. In 1996, after months of work, Comey came to some damning conclusions: Hillary Clinton was personally involved in mishandling documents and had ordered others to block investigators as they pursued their case. Worse, her behavior fit into a pattern of concealment: she and her husband had tried to hide their roles in two other matters under investigation by law enforcement. Taken together, the interference by White House officials, which included destruction of documents, amounted to “far more than just aggressive lawyering or political naiveté,” Comey and his fellow investigators concluded. It constituted “a highly improper pattern of deliberate misconduct.”

 

Uh oh, what happened to the 150 agents you were posting about? Did they get bored and wander off?

There's more than one investigation. One into the email server, one into the Clinton Foundation.

 

I see. So 20-30 on the email, and 120-130 on the Foundation? Aren't we going to mention the 30,000 working on Vince Foster's death?

The Washington Post claims the number is less than fifty. Fifty? Good enough if they get the job done. They are obviously not taking Hiliar's word about what went on.

There may have been many more tasked with analyzing the 30,000+ emails in question. To get that analysis done timely so the news of her indictment or damning report won't affect the election.

The latest reports are that the discovery phase is done and they're about to interrogate Hiliar and her staff soon.

 

Yes, I'm looking forward to your "they refused to indict her because the Obama administration is corrupt and ordered them not to" posts. Or maybe it'll be like the moon landing - they'll fake that she isn't indicted, have a body double out campaigning for her, while the real Hillary rots in jail. Oh, the tales you'll tell!

Your whole post is a "tale."

 

We'll see.

Judicial Watch hounded George W Bush, too.

The whole vast right wing conspiracy thing was bought by some. Hook, line, and sinker.

Judicial Watch's consistent investigations against Democratic figures have led to accusations that the group's lawsuits are focused on being politically motivated to help Republicans rather than enforce the law.[9] However, in July 2003 Judicial Watch joined the environmental organization Sierra Club in suing the George W. Bush administration for access to minutes of Vice President Dick Cheney'sEnergy Task Force.[10] After several years of legal wrangling, in May, 2005 an appeals court permitted the Energy Task Force's records to remain secret.[11][12] Judicial Watch called the decision "a defeat for open government" and Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch said the ruling fit the trend of increasing secrecy in the Bush administration.[13] Judicial Watch was involved in a similar legal dispute with Vice President Dick Cheney in 2002 when the group filed a shareholder lawsuit against Halliburton. The lawsuit, which accused Halliburton of accounting fraud, alleged that "when Mr. Cheney was chief executive of Halliburton, he and other directors inflated revenue reports, boosting Halliburton's share price." [14] As reported by the Wall Street Journal the court filing claims the oil-field-services concern overstated revenue by a total of $445 million from 1999 through the end of 2001.[15]

In 2006 Judicial Watch sued the Secret Service to force the release of logs detailing convicted former lobbyist Jack Abramoff's visits to theWhite House. This resulted in the release of a number of documents.[16]
