Judge again dismisses Clinton email suits

[ehrnst]

A federal judge has dismissed — for a second time — a pair of lawsuits seeking to force the State Department to do more to recover former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails.

The new ruling from U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg could irritate President Donald Trump, who is said to have been fuming in recent weeks over reports that the State Department is still processing a backlog of tens of thousands of Clinton emails the FBI came across during its investigation into whether Clinton or her aides broke the law by exchanging information deemed classified. Trump has also complained publicly that the Justice Department has failed to to dig into Clinton's email use.
....................................................................................
Among the new disclosures was that the FBI's use of grand jury subpoenas to try to obtain information on emails Clinton sent or received included not only her provider and accounts but ones used by people she corresponded with.

In a 26-page ruling Thursday, Boasberg concluded that the FBI's detailed account of its probe satisfied State's obligation to take all reasonable steps to find Clinton's emails.

"The Attorney General’s investigative arm joins Defendants’ conclusion that there are no remaining emails for State to recover. The FBI so concluded as part of an investigation related to national security, in which it had every incentive to 'shake the tree' with all its might. It strains credulity that the Attorney General would implement a more exhaustive search in response to a federal-records request," Boasberg wrote.

1. they really have "clinton derangement syndrome".

she's effectively retired now. they won.

and yet they can't stop fighting this fake war.

they're clearly on a fishing expedition to find something, anything.

they'd burn her at the stake if they could.


if they actually cared about people emailing information that could later be deemed to be classified, there's probably about a million other people they could be investigating as well.

such an incredible and obvious abuse of government powers to investigate an now-private citizen.

3. What a supreme waste of time and resources when we're facing such serious issues

I know it's just an attempt at deflection, but it really sends me over the edge.

4. Seems obvious to me..

Judge Boasberg is clearly an activist, communist, socialist, liberal member of the deep state shadow government. Time to get him out of there (and arrested for something), and replaced by a true American patriot who loves his Mother, eats apple pie, salutes the flag and sings the Star Spangled Banner at NFL football games.

5. First appointed by Bush and then Obama.

A bipartisan rejection!!!!

6. Thank God, we still have competent judges . . .

ruling on law, rather than political gamesmanship.

Of course, this won't stop the Republicans from trying again and again and . . .
