Judge orders four more Hillary Clinton email releases

[Senator Tankerbell]

Source: Politico

A federal judge has ordered the State Department to make four additional releases of Hillary Clinton's emails between Saturday and the end of February.

U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras issued an order Thursday requiring State to release batches of the still-undisclosed portion of Clinton's emails on February 13, 19 and 26 with "all remaining documents" released by "the close of business" on February 29.

Contreras had publicly discussed the possibility of releasing some of the messages directly to the Freedom of Information Act litigant whose case the judge is overseeing, Jason Leopold of Vice News. However, the judge's order Thursday directs State to release the records on its website, as the agency has done at least once each month since May of last year.

The release schedule stretches the emails disclosures out through two upcoming contests where Clinton is competing for delegates in the Democratic presidential race: the Feb. 20 Nevada caucuses and the Feb. 27 South Carolina primaries.

1. All this piddly crapola will be forgotten when Hillary is President.

The haters will be forgotten too.

[Akicita]

6. Depends on the FBI. If they reccomend charges she is toast.

[roguevalley]

8. include the judicial system and the FBI into the 'hater' category

heaven forbid she take the blame for her behavior

[TipTok]

24. Choice to indict comes from DoJ...

... which has a political appointee at the head.

She'll limp through or sacrifice an aide to take the hit...

[Bernin]

12. Not hardly

This is a glaring example of HRC's poor judgement again.

And you can bet your bottom dollar that should the DOJ refuse to indict that the first thing on the agenda will be impeachment.
HRC has no coat tails so the House and Senate will fall farther into Republican hands.

This will be the first female presidents legacy. She wont even make it to the midterm.

[earthshine]

18. It's just getting started.

If Hillary becomes president, the repubs will hound her on everything, incessantly, whether justified or not.

She will get nothing done, except that on which she and repubs agree.

[bowens43]

32. violating national security laws is ' piddly crapola'????

if somehow she manages to steal both the nomination and the GE (not likely) impeachment proceedings will start on day one, as they should.

she is either criminally negligent or criminally stupid

[Duval]

2. More and more "wait and see".

I can hear shoes dropping and they don't bode well for her "image".

[Senator Tankerbell]

3. She is getting less and less 'electable' by the day

If anyone thinks the GOP isn't going to hammer on these issues, they are incredibly naive.

[Vinca]

4. I wish the Clinton legal problems would come to a head sooner rather than later.

If she ends up being the nominee and an indictment actually does come down, what the hell happens then? I wish they would either clear her or charge her and get it over with.

[Senator Tankerbell]

5. I don't think it matters at this point.

The GOP will use this as a campaign issue regardless of whether she is cleared or charged.

[Vinca]

7. Very true. You notice they're saying very little about her legal woes right now.

If she's the nominee it's going to be like an atomic bomb blast with the Benghazi/email/whatever-else-they-can-dig-up ads.

[glinda]

9. A very very Conservative friend of mine says they are salivating at these things right now.

He does not care of for any of the Conservatives Candidates right now but is talking to political people he knows and this is for front to them. This will really be the whole Campaign for them going into elections it sounds like.

[Akicita]

10. Your conservative friend is salivating that our Top Secrets really were put on an unsecure server

where they could be compromised and damage our national security? Does he/she consider themselves a patriot?

[glinda]

21. He is a hard core Republican. And

yes...he does consider his self that but in reality he is nuts so.....like quite a few of them actually but this is how many of them think.

[DUbeornot2be]

11. It's part of the plan...

...to keep Americans distracted by Hill vs. gop as the corporate overlords steal what's left... Their polling shows ratings are better with her than the socialist...

Social security, the ACA, usps, buh bye!

[glinda]

22. you know...that is an excellent point.

Sadly probably extremely true.

[DUbeornot2be]

31. I know...

...it seems far fetched but the fact is campaign finance is all based on what the broadcasters get to charge campaigns to advertise... They drive those rates up with their inflated ratings based on all the false controversies... Seems to be the root of the problem...

Talk about an artful Ponzi scheme...!

I'm sure they're busy with projections of the kind of scratch the socialist movement could bring in through targeted programming... Just like msnbc pretends to lean left when the dems are in power... It seems it all comes back to ad revenue...

[karynnj]

35. Bernie's GE. umber are better than hers

The question I have is why TPTB made it clear this was her year. The email problem was known by the public for a year. My problem is the emails themselves are not the full problem - the entire set up was.

There had to be someone who could have been a better choice.

[DUbeornot2be]

36. That she is plagued by scandal...

...must be beneficial or they wouldn't push her so hard.

That Bernie is getting more votes doesn't necessarily relate to potential ratings seeing as his base gets their info from non traditional sources... Not necessarily people the broadcasters are interested in. We don't equal ratings and are certainly not the affluent consumer demo they cherish...

[karynnj]

39. The numbers I referred to are on pollingreport.com - pretty traditional

She is plaguted by two types of scandals - made up ones, that quickly disappear and ones because she feels she can set her own rules - ie the email..

[mgmaggiemg]

13. i can't stop

yawning and laughing at the same time... so hilarious and boring...

[Senator Tankerbell]

14. Do you think the GOP won't campaign on this?

Or do you think it won't be effective if they do? I know that Democrats don't see this as an issue, I don't either, but isn't it problematic in a general election?

[mgmaggiemg]

15. well no

being old enough to be through a few election cycles...the problem the GOP are having is that the campaign is just going on so long and the echo chamber clanging for so long about the same things...yes the GOP campaigns on this but the voters have heard it all before and so many times that it's just meaningless campaign drival cranked out of media/superpac/campaign war rooms....unseen of course except on line...that it's just endless hot air sound and fury without meaning...etc....I am amused by the republican trolls tho...I seem to upset them...

[Senator Tankerbell]

16. Fair enough.

I'm just not as optimistic about voters tuning it out. You can already see some effect if you look at polls. Maybe it won't matter. I hope you're right. But I really I hope that we won't need to find out...

[Purveyor]

17. She better pray to her gods that there is a DEM in the WH come 2017, otherwise a GOP DOJ will dog

the Clintons to the end of the earth.

[TipTok]

25. It's ugly that is how the system works...

[Abouttime]

19. Hillary is safe

President Obama has her back, no way Atty General Lynch brings any charges.

[Senator Tankerbell]

20. I agree.

But as a political matter, I think this makes her a weaker general election candidate. That is my concern.

[CoffeeCat]

29. I don't think any of us knows the true nature of the relationship between Clinton and Obama

We can never know. We weren't there.

Clinton seems to have gone rogue in her SOS position. She made all sorts of untoward, quid-pro-quo deals with her Clinton Foundation and her corporate buddies. I doubt Obama sanctioned any of that. I think she did what she wanted.

There are countless stories in which Obama calls Libya, "Hillary's project" as if she was going rogue again. We all know that one of her closest foreign-policy advisors while she was SOS was Robert Kagan, the founder of the neocon movement.

We can look at the facts, such as these and we can guess. But we don't know.

I don't think they're as chummy as the narrative that Hillary has crafted.

[Abouttime]

23. The Clintons are the consummate political pros

The private server was set up as a well calculated risk. Hillary knew when she became sos that she would be running for President in the future, she couldn't take the risk of having all her communications on a government system that could later be scrutinized for conflicts of interest with the Clinton Foundation. I have no doubt this move was approved at the highest levels of the Obama administration, in other words it was 'part of the deal' in Hillary signing on as sos.
Long before Hillary becomes our nominee in Philadelphia this 'scandal' will be wrapped up with Hillary coming out smelling like a rose.
President Obama controls the Dept. of Justice, look for Loretta Lynch sometime in March behind a podium absolving Hillary of any and all guilt. At that point it's game over, when asked Hillary will say "the justice dept looked into it and found no wrongdoing" end of argument.
I'm not saying i agree, I support Bernie but Hillary is on the inside track for the nomination. I'm afraid we as Democrats are just going through the motions this primary season, it's going to be Hillary, get used to it, accept it.

[thereismore]

26. She is not nearly as good as Bubba. She already lost one national election. nt

[LisaM]

28. Ummm, no.

She was not the nominee. She did not lose a national election. What are you talking about?

[thereismore]

30. National election for Dem nomination in 2008. nt

[snot]

33. This makes a lot of sense, . . .

except for the part about Hillary's inevitability.

[CoffeeCat]

27. I think the scandal will be used to justify Hillary bowing out after she is shellacked in NV and SC

I don't think she'll ever concede defeat to Sanders.

I think she'll suspend her campaign due to the email scandal.

[StandingInLeftField]

34. ^ A most likely scenario

"For the good of the Party and Country.....yada yada."

[winter is coming]

37. I don't see her suspending her campaign unless and until it's mathematically

impossible to win. Even if that FBI investigation brings forth an indictment.

[Yo_Mama]

38. I don't think she'll suspend her campaign ever.

I guess what happens happens. I really don't know what to think of this.
