IBTimes/ CNN Reports: State Department BLOCKS Release Of Clinton TPP Emails Until AFTER Election... (Original Post)

OP

(50,130 posts)1. what is the remedy for this?
A department protecting a former employee from adjudication of possible crimes. Is it a kind of obstruction of justice?
And what is the remedy?
Does Obama still have any authority over the DoS? Or is it totally rogue now?
If he has no control over the DoS, the only remedy it seems is a congressional investigation.

Update, 4:35pm ET, June 6: Following IBT's story, Donald Trump's campaign demanded that the State Department release Clinton's TPP-related emails. The Trump campaign referred to Clinton as "the outsourcing candidate" and said she was intent on "ramming TPP down the throats of the American people." Read IBT's story about Trump's statement here.
He's going to run to her Left on this (and other issues) if she is the Nominee...and we will get CREAMED

Because he really, really, really wants to jam her into the toilet, and he does NOT want to run against Bernie.
