Clinton campaign head says he filed FOIA request for UFO documents

Hillary Clinton has often been depicted as an enemy of government transparency in the long-running controversy over her use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State. It took several lawsuits under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a law that gives the public access to government documents and data, to pry her emails loose from the State Department.

Podesta didn’t offer many details on the incident that led to their FOIA request, saying simply that it involved a crash of what he described as a possible UFO or Soviet device.

“I worked with her and filed an FOIA case on it,” Podesta said, adding, “The files had disappeared but it was clear there’d been some investigation by the Air Force.”

The frustration of seeking documents under FOIA only to be rejected is probably a familiar one for the journalists who worked to make Clinton’s emails public, and Podesta acknowledged that Clinton’s use of a private email server had damaged her as a presidential candidate. “I think it’s definitely hurt her,” he said.

Huh.

2. "He's attached to the bureau of investigation of that which you call U!F!Os!"

*hisses* "Do you deny it?!"

3. What is it with Podesta and ufos?

I doubt he's pandering to the fringe but this is like the 20th article on Hillary and the ufo files.

4. Awww. He's trying to reach the young voters that they can't quite nail down.

And he's woefully underestimating them.

What's next? 'Come on, millennials ... give us a chance!? But we haz shiny things! Look. UFOs. And we request those FOIA things too, they disappear just like hers!'
