Not a Parody: Lawyers for Top Clinton Aide Claim Records Request Got Lost in the Mail

Weiner wife Huma Abedin faces conflict-of-interest allegations

By: Andrew Stiles
Washington Free Beacon
August 6, 2015 12:23 pm

Top Clinton aide Huma Abedin failed to acknowledge a State Department records request for more than two months because the request got lost in the mail, her lawyers claim.

The State Department’s request that Hillary Clinton’s former deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, return any work-related emails in her possession went unreceived for two months because of issues with delivery of State’s mail and email messages asking for the records, according to Abedin’s lawyers.

After the controversy over former secretary of state Clinton’s use of a private email account and server for official business erupted in March, Abedin was among 10 current or former State Department officials asked by their former agency to provide any similar messages on their private accounts.

But Abedin’s lawyers said she didn’t receive that request for more than two months after it was sent on March 11…

It’s unclear why State Department officials had so much trouble tracking down Abedin, who is currently vice chair of Clinton’s presidential campaign. It’s also not clear whether State’s snail-mail letter was sent to an old address for Abedin, a wrong address for her or was returned for some other reason. The State Department declined to comment on the delay. [emphasis added]

Abedin is under fire for potentially breaking conflict-of-interest rules while working for Hillary at the State Department. Abedin was given “special government employee” status, which allowed her to work concurrently as a consultant for the Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings, a consulting firm founded by a former Bill Clinton aide. The State Department’s inspector general determined there was “reasonable suspicion” that Abedin had violated conflict-of-interest rules by lobbying the White House on behalf of a Teneo client. Meanwhile, Reuters has been waiting more than two years for the State Department to respond to its Freedom of Information Act request for emails related to Abedin’s special employee status.

In related news, former Clinton aide and current Pennsylvania attorney general Kathleen Kane was charged with leaking confidential grand jury information and lying under oath.

I sense a theme here.

It's quite bizarre that they did not send the request via registered mail. What, State can't afford the extra postage?

You might almost assume that they sent it snail mail deliberately so that Huma could claim it got lost so that they could stall everything for months as a result.

Most often that stuff is sent Certified with signature required. The real question is why the State Dept official managing the litigation did inquire or follow up for two months. It would almost make me believe they are deliberately delaying.

A problem for Hillary is if too much is delayed and Congress delays her committee testimony into the election year. She is not getting this story out of the news cycle until she complies with the court's orders.

What is difficult to explain is why the FBI or someone has not seized the thumb drive in possession of Hilary's attorney, David Kendall. How is he cleared to possess or store classified information? Everything on that drive probably should be considered compromised because Kendall has it.

Huma was too busy monitoring Weiner's email to get around to Hillary's email.

LOL, of course it's never 'clear' why these things happen. However, if the IRS sent us something in the mail and we 'lost' it, this SGT Schultz routine would not work.

Richard Nixon should have thought of all these delay tactics.

Maybe the mail did arrive but got lost in one of Weiner's gay men's mags.

It's ridiculous. Foggy Bottom doesn't have a lawyer or two (or two thousand) who know that all legal documents should be sent as registered mail with the mail receipts attached to every document they file?

This isn't even credible. They're stonewalling and trying to blame the post office for eating their homework.

Well, Hitlery was a lawyer on the investigating committee. You suppose she would have accepted Nixon's "the post office ate my homework" excuse?

These people are just lying and going through the motions.

Hillary Clinton, Top Aides Ignore Court Request to Produce Assurances about Federal Records Under Penalty of Perjury

Judicial Watch
August 07, 2015

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced that the State Department today provided a status report as required by a July 31 federal court order requiring the State Department to request that Hillary Clinton and her top State Department aides Human Abedin and Cheryl Mills confirm, under penalty of perjury, that they have produced all government records in their possession, return any other government records immediately, and describe their use of Hillary Clinton’s email server to conduct government business.  The State Department filing shows that the agency sent the former officials the request and a copy of Judge Sullivan’s order but that both Mills and Abedin, who responded through their attorneys, ignored Judge Sullivan’s request to submit information under penalty of perjury.  The State Department reports that Mrs. Clinton has yet to respond.  Contrary to both Judge Sullivan’s order and the State Department’s request, Ms. Mills’ attorney said that she told Ms. Mills to destroy federal records in her possession on Monday, August 10. Tonight, Judicial Watch filed an urgent response informing Judge Sullivan of this plan to destroy federal records.

The State Department produced the August 5 letter it sent to Mrs. Clinton, which included a copy of Judge Sullivan’s order.

The developments come in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, the former Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)). The lawsuit was reopened last month because of revelations about Hillary Clinton’s email records.

Letters produced yesterday show that, on July 31, the State Department, for the first time, demanded that Mills and Abedin “return all copies of potential federal records in your possession.”  The State Department did not provide correspondence demanding Mrs. Clinton return all copies of potential federal records.  Despite the court’s July 31 order for immediate disclosure, the State Department and its Justice Department attorneys took six days to disclose the 13 letters, which total 19 pages.

Prior to August 5 court-ordered letters, the State Department had asked no questions of Clinton, Mills, and Abedin about Mrs. Clinton’s separate email system or classified material.

“Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills are showing contempt for a federal court order.  And now we know that Cheryl Mills may very well destroy federal records as soon as Monday, August 10.  We just alerted Judge Sullivan to this potential destruction of records by Cheryl Mills, who serves as Mrs. Clinton’s lawyer and was her top aide at the State Department.  Why is Mrs. Clinton refusing to confirm, under penalty of perjury, to disclose facts about her email system and to confirm she isn’t withholding federal records?” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

BREAKING: Cheryl Mills To Destroy Emails About Boss Hillary Clinton

By Sidney Powell | 08/07/15 8:36pm
Observer.com

In a letter sent to the U.S. State Department and just filed today with U.S. federal Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, the counsel for Cheryl Mills wrote: “Ms. Mills does not believe that she has paper copies of potential records in her possession. Following our production on August 10, 2015 [of the defense counsel’s version of the electronic records], we have instructed her to delete any and all electronic records in her possession.”

That is a far stretch from a statement by Ms. Mills under penalty of perjury, and she and her lawyers are planning to delete the emails Judge Sullivan wants produced?

Judicial Watch has made an emergency filing in Judge Sullivan’s court to stop the further destruction of evidence of what may very well be assorted criminal conduct and violations of numerous federal laws.

This all just surfaced in State Department’s status report filed today in response to Judge Sullivan’s order. Yesterday evening, State finally produced some correspondence between it and Hillary’s right and left hands—Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. It has not produced its correspondence with Mrs. Clinton, and it is now clear that Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Abedin and Ms. Mills plan to thumb their noses at the Judge and the State Department. No one is “cooperating,” despite their empty rhetoric to the contrary.

The correspondence that has been produced verifies that the State Department itself has not been forthcoming with Judge Sullivan, with Congress, or with anyone else. It allowed Mrs. Clinton to use an off-the-grid system for her entire tenure in the Department, and it kept that startling fact a secret as long as possible. It is simply shocking that the State Department did not immediately inform Congress, the Court, and Judicial Watch that Mrs. Clinton operated solely on a private email server and that the State Department did not have her records. It took months even to discover those crucial facts. And as Judge Emmet G. Sullivan bores toward the truth, more revelations continue to surface.

It is especially telling that there was no Inspector General at the State Department while Mrs. Clinton led the department. That independent watchdog surely would have put a stop to such an illegal and unauthorized practice immediately. Obviously, that is why Mrs. Clinton didn’t allow an Inspector General. As soon as the Inspector General had the opportunity to review her first 40 emails, he immediately identified classified or sensitive information that should never have been outside the State’s secure channels.

And despite the Obama administration’s countless claims that it knew nothing of her private account, the few emails already produced by Mrs. Clinton, and by Clinton consigliere Sidney Blumenthal, themselves belie that—as does the address itself. When one writes an email to the address Clinton.com, one must know that it is not state.gov—and Clinton.com was the way she communicated with everyone in the administration and other branches of government. David Axelrod is only the first to be caught red-handed.

Equally remarkable now is a false assertion in the letter from Ms. Mills to the State Department in which she claimed that “Like Secretaries of State before her, Secretary Clinton at times used her personal email account when engaging with other officials. On matters pertaining to the conduct of government business, it was her practice to use the officials’ government email accounts.” We already know that Clinton used her personal server exclusively and that classified and sensitive information was improperly transmitted through it. In addition, she has failed and refused to return it—another offense in itself.

There is a lot more that we don’t know. The question now is, with all of this deceit, delay, and destruction past, present and planned, how long will it be before Judge Sullivan issues a show cause order to hold Secretary Kerry, Ms. Mills and/or others in contempt, issues an order to prevent the destruction of Ms. Mills or anyone’s electronic records, and appoints a special prosecutor to investigate the entire corrupt cabal?

The train a comin’ right now is driven by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan—the man who named a special prosecutor to investigate the Department of Justice and its “Public Integrity Section.”

She sounds like a chick you would hate, someone who actually tells people the emporer has no clothes.

Yep. Our so called 'Justice Department', a big steaming pile of gay wieners. Remember when you defended Janet Reno?
