    You see this is all done just for convenience, and they regret doing it for that reason, and this is all old news at any rate. Move on.

      the best/worst part is thanks to the absolute fuckup of the hearings yesterday, it could come out that Hillary ordered the execution of all four americans personally and all anyone would remember is the way she laughed when one of her inquisitors asked if she had a booty call mid-Benghazi

      Quite a bit came out, but nobody is interested. The most fascinating for me is the idea that Clinton knew that night that it was terrorist group and not a demonstration over a video, and yet all of her surrogates plus her and Obama came out blaming some poor schmuck for a low rent vidya he posted.

    Keep fucking that chicken, Gawker. Yesterday everyone saw exactly how presidential Hillary is and is going to be in her eight years in office, and how manufactured the attempted scandals about her are. This stuff just doesn’t matter and nobody is going to be determining their general election vote based on it. Not when there are actual very important issues at stake.

    But hey, good job on that bombshell FOIA research.

      The State Department FOIA process has been an issue for years and years and years, going back at least to the Bush administration. Reporters always like to call it “stonewalling,” because that makes for better headlines, but more than likely, it is simply a staffing issue, particularly in these Republican-led “small government” years. They can’t simply send every email they find; they have to scour them for potentially classified, confidential, or personal information. That means essentially researching each and every new name and lots of random information, asking relevant people for information (for whom your FOIA issue is not their emergency) taking potentially hours. Furthermore, who knows how antiquated their systems are? People assume that government information technology systems are up to date and as efficient as their own. That may not be the case.

      As I asked another commenter, are you fucking high?

      Were you not on Gawker yesterday?

      Because I seem to remember commenting all over multiple articles on Gawker and its affiliates that were cheering Clinton for curb-stomping the Ben Ghazi’s.

      Don’t act like they are running some kind of hatchet job against Hilliary Clinton, they are a media source bitching about FOIA issues.

    Can we get this straight at the outset - what is Gawker trying to establish by pouring through this guy’s emails?

      There’s probably funny stuff in there. Also information relating to Clinton’s private email server.

      But they don't have to say, as part of a FOIA request. So far they're just reporting on the State Department failing to produce anything.

      So there is no point yet, it’s just a fishing expedition.

    This should bother any proponent of a transparent government.

      Show me a transparent government and I’ll show you a government you can’t see.

      Did you steal this aphorism? Because if not, you’re wasted on Gawker.

    If I were Reines, I’d sue you guys for defamation for continuing to say he “lied” about having a personal email address. He said he didn’t have a clintonemail.com address, and you reported that his lawyer didn’t respond to questions about additional addresses. How does that amount to Reines lying?

          It’s all about the search terms they use and the folders they include. This happens in every discovery battle. They are pulling docs from desktops and laptops and servers and file folders and drawers. Some of it is strategic. But mostly it’s about search terms and then having the right number of people to review the documents that meet those search terms. It sounds much more suspicious than it really is.

            It’s actually not at all bizarre for the United States government to stonewall, lie, and obfuscate at every possible opportunity. It can be hard to distinguish their active resistance from their standard incompetence, though.
