The State Department can release all of the Hillary Clinton emails they have, but Gowdy knows they don’t have all of her emails and isn’t backing down on his subpoena to get them all:
POLITICO – The House Committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi will still seek Hillary Clinton’s private emails through subpoena even after the former secretary of state asked for the documents to be made public.
A spokesman for the House Committee on Benghazi said Thursday that Clinton’s request for the State Department to release emails from her tenure as secretary “does not answer” all of the questions Republicans on the committee have about the correspondence and Clinton’s use of a personal email address.
“As Chairman [Trey] Gowdy noted, former Secretary Clinton has left herself in the unique position of being the only one to determine what records the American people are entitled to,” spokesperson Jamal Ware said. “This has significant negative implications for transparency and government oversight, as well as for media and others who have a legitimate interest in understanding the secretary’s time in office.”
Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican, issued subpoenas to the State Department on Wednesday asking for the remaining Clinton emails. The congressman’s spokesman said Thursday that request stands in light of the committee’s lingering questions on the “the integrity of the emails while she controlled them, the scheme to conceal them, or the failure to provide them in logical course.”
“The chairman has said the former secretary is welcome to and should release all of her emails, but legitimate investigations do not consider partial records. And that is the point of the subpoena issued yesterday by the Benghazi Committee,” Ware said.
