IT BEGINS: Associated Press suing to get Hillary emails

It wasn’t just Republicans or the ‘right-wing media’ that was duped by Hillary Clinton and the State Department. It was everybody who tried to get access to that information.

The Associated Press was among them, and considering they had filed FOIA requests in the past and realize now they didn’t get all the data they were asking for, they are suing to get it:

Associated Press – The Associated Press filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the State Department to force the release of email correspondence and government documents from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

The legal action comes after repeated requests filed under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act have gone unfulfilled. They include one request AP made five years ago and others pending since the summer of 2013.

“After careful deliberation and exhausting our other options, The Associated Press is taking the necessary legal steps to gain access to these important documents, which will shed light on actions by the State Department and former Secretary Clinton, a presumptive 2016 presidential candidate, during some of the most significant issues of our time,” said Karen Kaiser, AP’s general counsel.

Said AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll, “The Freedom of Information Act exists to give citizens a clear view of what government officials are doing on their behalf. When that view is denied, the next resort is the courts.”
