Motion filed to block State from delaying release of Clinton emails

On Monday, lawyers for Vice News reporter Jason Leopold filed a motion seeking to block the department from extending the amount of time that it has to release emails from the former secretary of State's personal server.

The Obama administration “has failed to show good cause for the requested extension, that it is necessary or that the interests of justice will be served by granting it,” Leopold’s lawyers wrote in the 13-page filing.

The government’s excuse for not being able to release the final batch of emails this month “is woefully vague,” the lawyers said.

The State Department on Friday requested that the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia delay by one month the deadline for it to release the last batch of Clinton’s work-related emails. The department claimed that an internal oversight caused it to overlook 7,200 pages of emails, and that the massive snowstorm hitting the East Coast would make it hard for employees to finish the review in time.

The snow?

1. Uh oh..

Here they come..the Bernie supporters I mean. Defending another Republican talking point..

[retrowire]

2. Bernie Supporter here!

You're mean.

That is all.

[asuhornets]

6. Really??

Have you taken a look as to how your fellow supporters of Bernie treat anyone who disagrees with them? Even Bernie says he is tired of hearing about her emails. Why don't Bernie Sanders' supporters follow suit?

[roguevalley]

9. really? Only berners. Well I was on a jury today where we banned a

HRC'er for calling bernie a 'crusty old jew'. Get over yourself. Your side is just as bad if not worse.

[asuhornets]

11. Sorry..

Your side is much worst and your reply proves it.

[roguevalley]

13. BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA! So show me posts that are worse than the

anti-semitism? You can't. Your reply is meaningless. Tell me something worse than making anti-semitic remarks about the child of holocaust victims? Nothing is that bad and you just saying so means nothing. Have a great day.

[eggplant]

25. *worse

[morningfog]

33. Could you link to that. I want to know who.

[rpannier]

36. Here

You have to go to the hide
I'm disappointed it was 3-4 to hide
But there's all kinds of caustic garbage being posted (about both Clinton and Sanders) out there that somehow survives

38. I am so happy you

did that. That post was disgusting. Thank you.

[roguevalley]

40. you're welcome.

3. If only those Republicans hadn't made her use that private server....

[scottie55]

7. Exactly

Darn them.

[asuhornets]

12. Bernie even said he was tired of hearing about Clinton's damn emails...eom

[jalan48]

16. Well, that was before she was so mean to him.

[eggplant]

27. Really? That's the best you've got?

[Duckhunter935]

34. he also said the investigation should continue

and the voters deserve the facts wherever they lead.

[840high]

39. I know - shame on them.

[Beowulf]

5. Jason Leopold is many things, but

he's no trumpet of Republican talking points. Asking for a delay in releasing the emails gives the appearance of trying to hide something. Unlike the GOP House kangaroo committees, this investigation is being conducted by the FBI. My sense is that they are looking to see if anything was placed on Hillary's personal server that shouldn't have been there and/or if there is any indication that State Department favors were exchanged for donations to the Clinton foundation. These are both serious and I hope not true. I think it is in the best interest of the party that this gets resolved as quickly as possible.

8. If it was Bernie Sanders, who I support wholeheartedly, with the email problems,

I'd want to know about them. And if it was Sanders with the email problems, Clinton's followers would be jumping all over it and would be denigrating Bernie to no end.

But, since it's Hillary's problem, Hillary's followers don't want to hear about it, otherwise we're using republican talking points.

Of that I'm sure.

[asuhornets]

14. Clinton testified for 11 plus hours and nothing was found

It was her idea to make the hearing public and that's what I call transparency.

[Unknown Beatle]

18. That was on Benghazi,

this, on the other hand, are about emails that haven't been released yet.

Whether there's something there or there isn't, doesn't the public have the right to know?

[karynnj]

19. On Benghazi - that is NOT about her email

On her email, she tries to finesse that she did absolutely nothing wrong or unusual -- even trying to claim credit for allowing it all to be public! enormous amount of CHUTZPAH.

[asuhornets]

21. HER 11-HOUR TESTIMONY WAS ABOUT HER EMAILS...

What world are you guys living in?

[karynnj]

29. It was mostly about what happened in Benghazi

[1monster]

28. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that 11-hour testifying was

about Benghazi, not emails...

[murielm99]

20. Then give us the truth about

the data breach by Bernie's campaign. His workers lied. They did not report a problem with the firewall when they said they did. And the bernistas tried to deflect, saying Hillary's team had done the same thing when they had not.

This seems to have fallen off the radar here, doesn't it?

This is Bernie's problem, and Bernie fans don't want to hear about it.

[Unknown Beatle]

22. Think what you want, of course.

If that's what you believe, I'm not going to change your mind.

But the fact of the matter remains that HRC is beholden to big monied elites, aka Wall St. and Big Banks plus a few others such as Big Cable Cos, Big Pharma, etc. It's as plain as the sky is blue. But don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.

Why is it so hard to see that? Honestly. Why?

[murielm99]

23. What does this have to do with the data breech?

[rhett o rick]

32. Oh oh, it took you 3 min to get the first response slot. No gold star for you.

I do find it odd that the REpublicons don't appreciate H. Clinton after all she agrees with them on most issues. In 2002 when the Republicons asked her to help sell the Iraq War, she could wait to betray her own party and help the Republicons.

Maybe you need to hit the refresh button more often to get under 2 mins.

[2pooped2pop]

37. Us? Shit u guys are planning to vote for a republican talking point

You guys should think before trying to compare Bernie supporters to Republicans. It just so happens that Hillary has enough trash, baggage, scandals, and poor decisions for all parties to use against her. Overlap is bound to happen.

[OilemFirchen]

4. Jason Leopold still has a career?

Aren't his 24 business hours of fame up?

[roguevalley]

10. no

[OilemFirchen]

17. He doesn't have a career?

Is he volunteering his time for Vice?

[Health Wagon]

26. Someone has a long memory.

I remember Fitzmas too.

[OilemFirchen]

30. Do you suppose Leopold plagiarized this motion from Larry Klayman?

History and all...

[Health Wagon]

31. I don't know, but I do remember that it caused a lot of embarrassment

and eventual distrust.

[6000eliot]

15. Did anyone else see the story about how rich right-wing pricks have spent half a billion dollars

trying to smear Hillary's name?

[Truprogressive85]

41. Vice news does incredible work

If you have not checked out some of there stories

like the "rise of nationalists in Europe", "Missing Fund from Recovery Haiti's Earthquake" to "Arms Trade show"

They have youtube Channel and if you have cable with Premium channels they HBO show as well

[Duckfan]

42. I remember Jason from 2003/04 when he worked with Peter B Collins.....

...in the bay area. Peter B. was a popular talk show host on during the days of Air America. Jason has solid cred's as a reporter. Happy to see him kickin butt and taking names.

[Helen Borg]

43. There is a "good cause"

Wait until after the primary!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

44. Sounds like Clinton trying desperately to run out the clock.
