| Tom Fitton - Judicial Watch: HRC Investigation not ending in January |
| 2016-10-01 |
| (CNSNews.com) ‐ Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton revealed on Thursday that the FBI didn’t question aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about her use of a private email server to conduct government business until Judicial Watch was about to do so, and then used redacted documents the watchdog group had obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Judicial Watch first uncovered the existence of Clinton’s private email server after receiving documents under FOIA during its investigation of the Benghazi scandal. "It was our litigation that forced the FBI to do the half-baked investigation it did," Fitton pointed out during a panel discussion on the Clinton email scandal. "As we find out more details about the FBI investigation, we found out that a lot of these investigations that the FBI was undertaking did not take place but for Judicial Watch’s pressure from the litigation. The witnesses weren’t questioned until it became clear Judicial Watch was either going to get discovery or was getting discovery and would be questioning some of these same witnesses," Fitton said. "It was so bad that we just learned in the latest FBI document dump that the FBI was using documents that were produced to Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act with redactions. So they couldn’t even get the full document. They were using those documents to question the witnesses. "And of course there’s a lot of outrage about the FBI immunity agreements, the Department of Justice immunity agreements granted the Clinton aides at issue in this case," he added. |

| #2 I support JW when I can. They do good work. I'm surprised they are not listed at the SPLC as a part of Hillary Clinton's vast right wing conspiracy. They probably are a part of the basket of deplorables as are the rest of us. HRC is a walking, talking hate group all by herself--if the internal voices count. |

Rest assured however, the items of concern to JW were....'on the FBI's radar or watch list.' |
