Nine months after the presidential election was decided, a federal judge is ordering the State Department to try again to find emails Hillary Clinton wrote about the Benghazi attack.

U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta ruled that the State Department had not done enough to try to track down messages Clinton may have sent about the assault on the U.S. diplomatic compound on Sept. 11, 2012 — an attack that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.

However, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch argued that the search wasn't good enough because State never tried to search its own systems for relevant messages in the official email accounts of Clinton's top aides.

In a 10-page ruling issued Tuesday, Mehta — an Obama appointee — agreed.

Butter emails

 

[jack_package_200]

[Karsticles]

What could they even find?

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

What was it, 8 fucking republican led investigations, that turned up jack shit?

Let it fucking go.

 

[cackhyena]

Hannity just dribbled and he doesn't know why yet.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Wait so years of investigation and millions spent were not enough? What are they hoping to find here?

 

[RinsFury]

Trump trying to start a nuclear war with North Korea and we still have people worried about Hillary's emails. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Oh My fucking God.

 

[ValkyrUser]

Wait so years of investigation and millions spent were not enough? What are they hoping to find here?

They gotta stop her from becoming President at any cost!

 

[Supha_Volt]

I have a feeling we're going to have to hear about these damn emails for the next four years.

 

[BitStyle]

here we go again

Pretty much.
They have done so many Benghazi investigations that turned up nothing. Just another distraction

 

[Dead Prince]

Trump trying to start a nuclear war with North Korea and we still have people worried about Hillary's emails. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Trump to tweet about this in 4 hours

 

[wenis]

deflection at its finest.

 

[Loxley]

I have a feeling we're going to have to hear about these damn emails for the next four years.

Four years? We're going to be hearing about them until Hillary is dead.

 

[Conciliator]

lol, whatever. It'll give them something to harp about on TV while the white house falls apart.

 

[The Silver]

Yay more Buttery Males

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Four years? We're going to be hearing about them until Hillary is dead.

Long after she is dead.

 

[D i Z]

Whatever.

 

[Dude Abides]

So it sounds like State did a search of emails it got from Hillary, emails it got from three of her aides, and emails it got from the FBI, but it didn't search its own email system. Obviously the murder of poor Benjamin Ghazi has been done to death but the judge is probably legally correct here. Also these are not the buttery emails on the private server.

The more interesting thing is that the Trump/Sessions DOJ argued against this.

This is the song that doesn't end
Yes, it goes on and on my friend
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because
This is the song that doesn't end...

 

[Korigama]

Four years? We're going to be hearing about them until Hillary is dead.

Long after she is dead.

Very much so. The GOP and its supporters will likely...no, will certainly still be braying about them even beyond that.

 

[Piecake]

Four years? We're going to be hearing about them until Hillary is dead.

Just think when you are a grandparent and your grandkids are learning about Hilary's emails in history class.

 

[Mobius 1]

Asking the right questions huh.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Putting aside any partisan bias, is anything of even remotely scandalous implication concealed in Washington this well? It just doesn't happen. And it sure as hell doesn't happen after like 15 different investigations.

I suppose they're welcome to continue looking but what's the payoff given the very likely chance nothing of value is found? The general public has moved on from the matter and the people who do care would NEVER believe that nothing was found.

 

[Hellsing321]

This is certainly a very good use of the severally understaffed State department's time.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Hey, if at eleventh you don't succeed..

 

[Meatfist]

This is a real tasty nothingburger!

 

[Shadybiz]

....Okay.

 

[watershed]

Just keep beating that dead horse. Consider this: emails are the worst controversy for Hillary Clinton in her entire career. Trump beats that on a weekly basis.

 

[G0523]

Is this legit? MSN is reporting that it's not real.

 

[kris.]

Oh hell ya it's about time we saw Killary in chains

christ

 

[Supha_Volt]

Four years? We're going to be hearing about them until Hillary is dead.

Yeah, that is what's going to happen. Why would they abandon the chance to bring it up to rile up the base?

 

[Truckondo2.0]

Just think when you are a grandparent and your grandkids are learning about Hilary's emails in history class.

Who knows? It wouldn't surprise me if they are still looking for the emails when I'm a grandfather.

 

[rec0ded1]

Ben gucci mane must be sweating

 

[BitStyle]

Is this legit? MSN is reporting that it's not real.

Hmm.
Fake news striking again?

 

[chitnex]

Can someone please explain to me why people are so obsessed with Clinton and these emails? From what I understand with Benghazi, Clinton's only involvement was not being clear as to whether the attack was because of that video.

 

[Verelios]

Welp, we sure do have our priorities straight!

 

[Piecake]

Is this legit? MSN is reporting that it's not real.

Thats talking about a Justice Department investigation.

This article is talking about a court decision that will allow further investigation into some unlooked at areas.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Oh hell ya it's about time we saw Killary in chains

christ

Before she nukes again!

Can someone please explain to me why people are so obsessed with Clinton and these emails?

It all started with a guy named Ben..

 

[jiiikoo]

Before she nukes again!

Or sells nucular materials to NORTH KOREA!!!

 

[Advocatus Diaboli]

State didn't conduct a proper FOIA inquiry. Instead, it essentially argued that anything that would've been on its state.gov servers would've been already disclosed or turned over in the FBI investigation.

This isn't news.

It's a routine matter for State's CIO.

 

[sangreal]

Is this legit? MSN is reporting that it's not real.

That's about a different story -- the FBI investigation. This is about the FOIA lawsuit that started all this email nonsense

 

[kris.]

Before she nukes again!



It all started with a guy named Ben..

We have to avenge Benjamin and the rest of the Ghazi clan!

 

[To Far Away Times]

The emails that are actually of significance and actually going to mean something are Trump Jr.'s.

Those are the ones that will be in the history books.

Republicans have tried so hard to create a scandal to attach to Hillary yet despite spending millions they've never come up with a lick of anything. You can't just will a scandal in to existance.

 

[cameron]

Is this legit? MSN is reporting that it's not real.

The ruling about the FOIA request is real.

In response to Freedom of Information Act requests, State searched the roughly 30,000 messages Clinton turned over to her former agency at its request in December 2014 after officials searching for Benghazi-related records realized she had used a personal email account during her four-year tenure as secretary.

However, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch argued that the search wasn't good enough because State never tried to search its own systems for relevant messages in the official email accounts of Clinton's top aides.

In a 10-page ruling issued Tuesday, Mehta — an Obama appointee — agreed.

Anything beyond that is fake.

 

[GK86]

This shit is gonna continue long after she's dead.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

You can't be fucking serious.

When Mueller finds a shit ton of dirt on Trump, please let us not forget this and let us ridicule the ever-living shit out of these dead-horse beating mother fuckers.
