Cheryl Mills To Destroy Emails About Boss Hillary Clinton
2015-08-09
[OBSERVER] In a letter sent to the U.S. State Department and just filed today with U.S. federal Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, the counsel for Cheryl Mills wrote: "Ms. Mills does not believe that she has paper copies of potential records in her possession. Following our production on August 10, 2015 [of the defense counsel's version of the electronic records], we have instructed her to delete any and all electronic records in her possession. "

That is a far stretch from a statement by Ms. Mills under penalty of perjury, and she and her lawyers are planning to delete the emails Judge Sullivan wants produced?

Judicial Watch has made an emergency filing in Judge Sullivan's court to stop the further destruction of evidence of what may very well be assorted criminal conduct and violations of numerous federal laws.

This all just surfaced in State Department's status report filed today in response to Judge Sullivan's order. Yesterday evening, State finally produced some correspondence between it and Hillary's right and left hands--Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. It has not produced its correspondence with Mrs. Clinton, and it is now clear that Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Abedin and Ms. Mills plan to thumb their noses at the Judge and the State Department.

No one is "cooperating," despite their empty rhetoric to the contrary. The correspondence that has been produced verifies that the State Department itself has not been forthcoming with Judge Sullivan, with Congress, or with anyone else. It allowed Mrs. Clinton to use an off-the-grid system for her entire tenure in the Department, and it kept that startling fact a secret as long as possible.

It is simply shocking that the State Department did not immediately inform Congress, the Court, and Judicial Watch that Mrs. Clinton operated solely on a private email server and that the State Department did not have her records. It took months even to discover those crucial facts.

#5  It is a crime - called spoliation of evidence.

The Counsel for Cheryl Mills should get some serious warnings as well. How in the hell can you justify ordering someone to delete evidence even if you don't think it is needed anymore?

#3  Can't believe a judge hasn't warned her of obstruction of justice collusion and other charges that she would be instantly guilty of if she destroyed the emails. Also the fact that the emails went through multiple servers to get to the recipients so other copies are available.

#2  I'm not a lawyer, but isn't destruction of potential evidence illegal? (Not that doing something illegal would stop anyone on the Clinton team.)

#1  One would hope that Cheryl Mills unending illegal acts to defend the Clintons would eventually bite her in her smarmy ass. Black is the new Orange would be a good start
