Clinton's Islamist Emails

Judicial Watch Acts Quickly to Obtain Hidden Clinton Emails Hillary Clinton, as her new email scandal shows, thinks she is above the law. Why else hide emails for years from the American people? Her record is one of contempt for the rule of law and the people's right to know about what their government is up to - especially in the area of foreign relations. To quickly get to the heart of the Clinton email scandal and vindicate our nation's basic transparency law, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), we filed this week a FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. State Department seeking any and all communications - including emails - from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Chief of Staff Huma Abedin with Nagla Mahmoud, the wife of ousted radical Islamist Egyptian president Mohammad Morsi, from January 21, 2009 to January 31, 2013. This could mark a major turning point because the lawsuit will require the State Department to answer questions about and conduct thorough searches of Hillary Clinton's newly discovered personal email accounts. Judicial Watch also has nearly a dozen other active FOIA lawsuits that may require the State Department to search these email accounts. Huma Abedin is also alleged to have a secret account on Hillary's personal email set-up as well. (Abedin, like many in Hillary's orbit, has a dubious ethical history that has previously attracted Judicial Watch scrutiny.) There's some additional drama here that could add some new twists to this now growing scandal. JidadWatch.org has reported that Ms. Mahmoud threatened Mrs. Clinton after Morsi was ousted. According to JihadWatch.org: In the words of El-Mogaz News, Morsi's wife "is threatening to expose the special relationship between her husband and Hillary Clinton, after the latter attacked the ousted [president], calling him a simpleton who was unfit for the presidency. Sources close to Nagla confirmed that she has threatened to publish the letters exchanged between Morsi and Hillary." And Ms. Abedin's family is no stranger to the Muslim Brotherhood, as her mother is a leading member of its offshoot, the Muslim Sisterhood. As one report explains, the Muslim Brotherhood operates "under a five-part credo: Allah is our objective; the Qur'an is our constitution; the prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; death for the sake of Allah is our wish." And, as JW uncovered, fronts for this terrorist movement seem to behind the Obama administration's censoring of anything remotely critical in federal counter-terrorism training of radical Islam. So now we know why the State Department didn't want to respond to our specific request for communications by Mrs. Clinton and Ms. Abedin. Instead of acknowledging that it couldn't and wouldn't search the private accounts that the State Department has known about for years now, the agency simply choose to violate the FOIA law. Once again, domestic politics have been elevated above the need for sound public policy. This lawsuit shows how the latest Obama administration cover-up isn't just about domestic politics but has significant foreign policy implications. These implications may lead to Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration possibly kowtowing to radical Islamists in Egypt, Libya, and in other parts of the Middle East, resulting in war and loss of American lives.
