By the Way, Where Are the Chelsea Clinton Documents?

WFB- A watchdog group asked a federal court on Thursday to order the State Department to expedite its release of Chelsea Clinton-related records, arguing that at the current rate it would take the department 38 years to produce all the documents.

Citizens United has been suing the State Department to turn over correspondence between department officials and Chelsea Clinton, who used the pseudonym “Diane Reynolds” in many of her emails. It is also asking for emails between State Department officials and the Clinton family’s long-time aides Amitabh Desai, Justin Cooper, and Oscar Flores.

The D.C. district court ordered the State Department to release portions of the records to Citizens United on a rolling basis every four weeks, but did not specify an end date to complete the production.

On June 1, the State Department said it had found nearly 4,000 documents responsive to the Citizens United request, but over the past two months it has released just 17 of them.

“Thus, in the past two months, Defendant has produced only 17 documents out of a reported total of 3,924, and at a rate of only 127 pages per month,” said Citizens United in the motion to modify the production order on Thursday. “At this rate, it would take Defendant more than 38 years to complete production to Plaintiff.”

The group asked the court to “modify its order of April 19, 2016, to require that, in each subsequent four-week document production, Defendant review at least 2,000 pages of documents for production to Plaintiff, producing all non-exempt documents.”

Citizens United says it is in the public’s interest to review correspondence between Chelsea Clinton and State Department officials before the presidential election, due to Chelsea’s senior role at the Clinton Foundation.

  1. This is a very serious race against the clock. If my rough calculation is sort of correct, the first week of Novermber, voting-time, this year is just a bit more than ffour month away. A blink in time compared to the long term consequences of the election. HRC wants November to come tomorrow. She’s in a race for her life. So are we.

  2. You know that last comment was made in an effort to be nice. But in all actuality I am not nice. Based on your comments you intentuallly thumbed me down. Fucking why? Man up. If I’m wrong tell me why.
