The newly-released batch of Hillary Clinton emails provides further proof that Freedom of Information (FOI) law has been blatantly violated. The documents include material directly responsive to a FOI request I made back in 2012 after the Benghazi terrorist attacks on the U.S. compounds. However, the material was not produced at the time, as required by law. Once again, there appears to be nobody who holds government officials and agencies accountable for their routine violation of this law. So the infractions occur frequently and with impunity. If nobody polices our government officials and agencies–if they are above the law–then how does a lawful society function?
One of the many emails that should have been provided under FOI in 2012, but was not, is to Clinton from Huma Abedin on Sept. 14, 2012. Others include Clinton communications on Benghazi with her chief aide Cheryl Mills.

“Once again, there appears to be nobody who holds government officials and agencies accountable for their routine violation of this law.”
Worse, if there is JUST ONE real reporter at CBS trying to get to the truth – even if it leads to King Obama and Queen Hillary – that woman will be stifled and forced out.
Once again, when we play the game, “What If A Republican Did This?®”, we get a way different outcome!
The hypocrisy by the media and those on the Left is stunning.
Great comment, but when you say “the media and those on the Left”, I believe you are repeating yourself.
My thought on reading this. Sharyl Attkisson, winner of Emmys for investigative reporting, multiple winner of Edward R Murrow award, a career reporting for CNN and CBS. Now marginalized as right-wing, because she sought the truth about someone on the Left. Anyone who questions the Left is automatically a right-wing fanatic who must be marginalized.
There has to be billions of laws on the books if you include federal, state, county, and municipal codes. Is there one law in there that Hillary hasn’t broken?
Might be a bit easier to follow and prosecute her by merely stating all the laws she actually followed and then go from there.
