This week, federal prosecutors were given more reasons to prosecute Hillary Clinton.

In a tremendous victory for Judicial Watch and our supporters, a U.S. District Court in California has declared 75-year-old veteran Robert Rosebrock not guilty of violating federal law for allegedly displaying two four-by-six inch American Flags above a Veterans Affairs (VA) fence on Memorial Day, May 30, 2016.

The administrative deep state – the legions of unelected, entrenched bureaucrats in Washington – thinks it doesn’t have to answer to an elected president, the rule of law, or the American people. We are now seeking to uncover the truth about the particularly notorious fifth column in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

It was my privilege to testify on March 23, 2017, on behalf of Judicial Watch before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which was meeting to hear testimony on several bills that would improve government transparency. The complete hearing is available here.

Lawlessness was the modus operandi of the Obama administration. If it felt a law stood in the way of its intentions, it ignored the law. Seems the Obama intelligence agencies learned this lesson well. In the critical matter of Hillary Clinton’s illegal email practices, the Director of National Intelligence simply ignored a directive requiring a damage assessment and a report.

Untangling the knots of corruption in the Obama-Clinton administration is hardly over, and we continue to pursue the truth diligently and deliberately.

We have no intention to allow the extra-legal activities of former President Obama’s administration to fade into the sunset now that he is out of office. Particularly egregious was his use of the might of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to target groups that disagreed with his political views.

Despite what you may hear from the liberal media, the Clinton email scandal is far from over. In fact, I think we’re in the middle of the scandal.

Tightening our immigration and refugee programs is a matter of national security (despite what some out-of-control judges may think), and it is also a matter of cost.

Last week President Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates, a holdover from the Obama administration, when she refused to defend his executive order on illegal immigration. That’s not her job, and the President was right to fire her, as I said in this statement to the press:

The Trump administration and new Congress must focus on restoring the rule of law and accountability after eight years of a lawless Obama administration.

I’ve often observed that, when it comes to public policy, the Obama Justice Department has been a locus of evil. And therefore it was concerning to see that the man who ran that Obama agency for years, the disgraced Eric Holder, has gotten himself a new, government-related gig.

True to our nonpartisan mission, nine years ago, we worked with then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Special Task Force on Ethics Enforcement to push for an independent body to help handle ethics investigations of House members.

In 2016, Judicial Watch established itself as the most significant public policy entity in the nation. Our work in the courts exposing the truth about the Clinton emails and the corruption of the Clinton pay-to-play scandals changed history.

At our special educational forum on December 6, expert panelists offered specific recommendations to the incoming Trump administration and the new Congress for rolling back corruption and ushering in a new era of transparency in these areas: Freedom of Information Act reform, election fraud, pay-for-play politics, IRS targeting, immigration and border enforcement, executive order overreach, and more.

We know now, right from the horse’s mouth, how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has targeted Tea Party and conservative groups during the Obama administration. In the notes of a top IRS official, written down during a 2011 interoffice meeting, we discovered that Cincinnati office agents were targeting organizations requesting tax-exempt status based on “guilt by association” and “party affiliation.”

Donald Trump’s remarkable victory on Election Day is still sinking in. Judicial Watch supporters can take satisfaction that the American people resoundingly rejected Hillary Clinton corruption.

You have watched along with us as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and many of her top aides treated the court process with contempt.

There is no longer any question that Hillary Clinton’s email scheme jeopardized our national security. Look no further than what we revealed last week. We released new documents containing email correspondence between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Gen. David

We have released the responses under oath from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding her email practices, and we bring them to you in their entirety in this Special Edition of Weekly Update. You will see that she was neither

Three years ago, we reported on videos produced by the General Services Administration (GSA) that show senior GSA officials and staff participating in costumed playacting and parodies.

Hillary Clinton’s use of an email server in the basement of her home while she was secretary of state will leave a permanent stain on our system of justice and on the public’s trust in government.

My Judicial Watch attorney colleagues appeared in federal court Monday for a hearing into how quickly Judicial Watch and the American people may see the Hillary Clinton emails recovered by the FBI that Clinton deleted or otherwise did not turn over to the State Department.

It was not just President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that sought to suppress conservative voices to help him retain the presidency in 2012.

This week, the State Department released documents containing several emails that were deleted from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s non-state.gov email system and recovered by the FBI. They were dated October 2012, near the end of her tenure, and contain

Our efforts to get at the truth of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email practices is entering a new and critical phase.

Last week Judicial Watch released 725 pages of State Department documents that include email exchanges in which Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin provided influential Clinton Foundation donors special, expedited access to the secretary of state.

Remember how Hillary Clinton repeatedly assured us all that she had turned over all work-related emails? And that she avoided any conflicts of interest with her Clinton Foundation?

Following up on some mega disclosures last week, Judicial Watch released 105 pages of newly obtained FBI “302” documents revealing that, beginning in 2010 and lasting through the Obama reelection campaign in 2012, the IRS orchestrated a deliberate policy of burying conservative groups’ tax-exemption applications in bureaucratic delays.

Last week we revealed to the public more about the IRS’s historic abuse of power. We released 294 pages of FBI documents showing that top IRS officials in Washington, including Lois Lerner and Holly Paz, knew that the agency was specifically targeting “Tea Party” and other conservative organizations two full years before disclosing it to Congress and the public.

Hillary Clinton sent three lawyers to federal court this past Monday in an effort to convince a judge that she should not have to provide testimony under oath to Judicial Watch about why she set up and used a non-state.gov email account to conduct official business as secretary of state.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan heard arguments on Monday, July 18, 2016, in our request to take testimony from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Last week, we learned more about the problems former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s staff faced in keeping her private email system running. They were, in fact, wrestling with matters of national security.

Some major and interesting developments occurred last week in the Clinton email scandal.

Judicial Watch has released the deposition transcript of Cheryl D. Mills, Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff throughout her four years as secretary of state.

The court-ordered discovery to uncover details about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email system has produced the first testimony from her top aides.
