The conservative group Citizens United on Thursday filed a lawsuit to gain access to emails between Chelsea Clinton and top aides to her mother, Hillary Clinton, from when the Democratic presidential front-runner served as secretary of State.
The Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, first reported by Politico, also requests emails from Clinton Foundation foreign policy chief Amitabh Desai, longtime aide to former president Bill Clinton Justin Cooper, and Oscar Flores, the manager of the Clintons Chappaqua, N.Y., home. But Citizens United President David Bossie told Politico that Chelsea Clinton is the primary figure targeted in the suit.
The real interesting person here is of course Chelsea Clinton, who is the lead person, he said.
We want to see much more about what Chelsea Clinton was up to because she now has put herself out here on the campaign trail, along with Bill Clinton, as a lead surrogate, he added.
Asked whether Chelsea Clinton was off-limits in her mothers White House run, Bossie responded: Absolutely not.
She is somebody who has been a player, a senior adviser to her mother, he said. She is an officer, somebody with fiduciary responsibility at the Clinton Family Foundation.

At least nobody is trying to defend that CU ruling anymore...

(31,849 posts)I can't think of a single FOIA path to get the emails of a private citizen, even when that private citizen is an officer of a private charity, and the daughter of SoS Clinton.
I'd love to see the response ... I suspect it'll be a longer, more legalistic version of: F U ... No!
