DOJ defends Clinton from email subpoena

The Justice Department is defending former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from a motion to subpoena her private emails under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

“Such action is unnecessary and inappropriate under FOIA,” DOJ officials wrote in a legal briefing filed Thursday. Officials were responding to a case launched by Larry Klayman, the founder of the conservative watchdog group Freedom Watch.

Clinton has turned over 55,000 pages of emails that she believed could be considered official government communications, but she deleted 30,000 emails that she considered to be personal.

The Justice Department describes Klayman’s call for a subpoena as “speculation” in its brief.

Just the usual stonewall game. And they only have to delay until after November, 2016.

18 months is a long time. They also can't fight a Congressional subpeona like they could one from a private group.

I kind of like the idea of a long drawn out battle.
That way it will be fresh in the voter's mind everyday.
Right up until the election.
