NEW BOMBSHELL: 5-MONTH GAP IN HILLARY EMAILS

Judicial Watch uncovers blockbuster revelation about private server

WASHINGTON – There is a five-month gap in the Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department, the watchdog group Judicial Watch announced Monday morning.

The revelation emerged after a court ordered the release of State Department documents as part of Judicial Watch’s effort to obtain Clinton emails under the Freedom of Information Act.

Emails sent and received by Clinton on her private server are missing over periods totaling five months, beginning when she took office as secretary of state in February 2009.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the gaps indicate Clinton lied under oath when she said all her emails had been turned over, and it suggested government officials had not turned over everything they were required to deliver.

Fitton said other State Department officials, including the one in charge of email production, Patrick Kennedy, previously had been informed of the five-month gap.

The announcement was made at an event in which many of the best minds in Washington came together to discuss what to do about the many crises plaguing the country during the Obama era.

Judicial Watch is holding a day-long “Leadership Summit on Washington Corruption and the Transparency Crisis” on Monday.

Judicial Watch has been in the forefront of the legal battle to obtain Clinton’s emails and State Department documents concerning the former secretary of state’s use of a private server to conduct all of her official business.

Contrary to her denials, government inspectors revealed Clinton did have classified information on her private server, which security experts say was especially vulnerable to hacking by foreign intelligence agencies.

The FBI is investigating Clinton’s use of the server and trying to retrieve 30,000 emails she had deleted after her own staff deemed them personal correspondence.

Judicial Watch describes the Monday event as a symposium that will “examine how the Obama administration’s corruption and abuse of power have undermined the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution.”

The group contends, “America is in the midst of an unprecedented assault on its open records laws by the corrupt and secretive Obama administration and corrupt politicians like Hillary Clinton, an assault that we believe poses a serious threat to our country’s future.”

The event is divided into three sessions, with closing remarks and a question-and-answer period.

The first session is: “Clinton Corruption Challenge from Benghazi to Clinton Cash.”
