Our effort to uncover the secrets of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s illicit email system took a major step forward last week.

Another piece of the scandal surrounding Hillary Clinton and Benghazi fell into place last week when the State Department released to Judicial Watch new documents containing telephone transcripts from the evening of September 12, 2012.

With a notorious Democrat in the White House, it bears repeating that there are corrupt politicians in both the Republican and Democratic Parties. The “corruption caucus” in the political world is both bipartisan and growing.

Too often, politicians at every level will ignore the clear language of a law if it does not let them do as they wish. This was evident on two fronts last week: in California and here in the District of Columbia.

This has been an important week in our continuing investigation of Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state. We are uncovering critical links between her official duties and the private interests of her family’s foundation.

Judicial Watch took another important step forward in our massive effort to find out the truth about the Clinton email scandal we uncovered one year ago.

The United States military is in the midst of the longest period of sustained combat in our nation’s history. One would think that discussions about “white privilege” would be absurd in a military under stress by increasing demands and a diminishing budget.

Judicial Watch does more than almost anyone else in DC to educate the public about the duplicity of high ranking government officials. I have another extraordinary example of this in the Clinton email scandal.

Judicial Watch is once again in the center of events this week in Washington. This week the FBI told a federal court in a Judicial Watch open records lawsuit that Hillary Clinton’s conduct is under investigation.

Barack Obama jets off on Air Force One, without a seeming care in the world about the costs to taxpayers, for golf weekends on a regular basis.

The Christmas holidays are a busy time for Judicial Watch (JW) because corrupt politicians and bureaucrats often leak embarrassing scandal information during a time when many Americans are not focused on the news (and many reporters are on vacation). Sure enough, we received a Christmas document dump from the Secret Service about Obama’s travel costs. If the hope was to bury the information, it failed, as our JW team got the word out and gained headlines across the globe.

Contrary to what the Obama administration has told the American people, the U.S. military was poised and ready to respond immediately and forcefully against terrorists in Benghazi, Libya.

Judicial Watch scored a major victory for the U.S. Constitution and national unity before the United States Supreme Court. We convinced the Supreme Court to issue an injunction halting a race-based “Native Hawaiian-only” election in Hawaii.

There may be legitimate reasons for the Secret Service to keep some documents from the public. But concealing taxpayer-funded security expenses for Barack Obama’s luxury vacations sure isn’t one of them.

The Obama administration’s first substantive move on Islamic terrorism was to use the focus on the Paris attacks to release five al Qaeda terrorists from our secure military facility at Guantanamo Bay.

Just so we are clear about what has gone down, the same crooked administration and the same corrupt federal agencies responsible for the IRS-Tea Party scandal now say no crimes were committed. In a letter addressed to the House Ways and Means Committee, Assistant Attorney General Peter J. Kadzik explains why the Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to press ahead.

If one wants context on how to judge Hillary Clinton’s testimony before the Benghazi Select Committee, it helps to know history. Hillary Clinton has a history of lying under oath.

Judicial Watch reported last month that State Department documents indicate that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton personally signed the authorization for Huma Abedin, her then-deputy chief of staff, to become a special government employee (SGE).

The Clinton email scandal is serious enough. Nonetheless, it is useful to remember what exactly Mrs. Clinton was trying to hide before our litigation forced the disclosure of her separate email system.

As JW president, I have the honor of reporting to you our successes in holding our government to account. We beat the Obama IRS and exposed its ongoing corruption. We exposed the deepest Benghazi cover-ups all the way to the Oval Office. We forced the creation of a Select Committee on Benghazi. We forced the Clinton email scandal into the open. And then we uncovered even more facts in a way that embarrasses most of the media and Congress (and helped lead to the resignation of John Boehner as Speaker of the House).

I am sure you have seen and read the usual D.C. establishment talking heads professing confusion as to why Hillary Clinton would make the “mistake” in setting up a separate email system to conduct government business as secretary of state. Of course, these types never see the obvious answer: because she had something to hide! And so did a lot of other Obama administration officials, some still running things at the State Department.

So, let’s talk about these new State Department documents we released during the Summit. As has been widely reported, we found almost a five-month gap in the emails Madam Hillary Clinton reluctantly returned to the State Department last year. But there’s more to the story.

We live in a cruel, dangerous world riddled with crime. That’s the hard reality. But certainly, elected officials could move decisively if they wanted to against “Sanctuary Cities” and the dangerous criminal aliens who fly under the law.

If Team Clinton and Team Obama had their druthers, the American people would know nothing about her non-government email system. But thanks to numerous federal lawsuits and multiple federal court orders obtained by Judicial Watch, the Obama State Department must disgorge document after document about this increasingly serious scandal. Judicial Watch has had another major breakthrough to report.

The Hillary Clinton email scandal cover-up evidently isn’t keeping the Obama administration’s lawyers busy enough. Recently, all of America learned, thanks to Judicial Watch, that the infamous former director of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the IRS Lois Lerner had

Hillary Clinton doesn’t like to answer tough questions. In fact, she doesn’t like to be questioned at all about anything. For many years a compliant news media has allowed her to escape scrutiny. But times are changing.

Judicial Watch has had remarkable success in using the court process to obtain answers on the burgeoning Hillary Clinton email scandal, including from the former Secretary of State Hillary herself.

Judicial Watch has been remarkably successful in finally breaking open the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Now, the American people may finally get answers directly from Mrs. Clinton about her email gamesmanship – under penalty of perjury.

This has been quite a time for those of us demanding that the Obama IRS be held accountable to the rule of law for its abuse of innocent taxpayers. Judicial Watch received more documents that expose more Obama administration misconduct and lies in the IRS scandal. Now a federal court judge threatened to hold the IRS Commissioner personally in contempt over the agency’s violation of his court orders.

Judicial Watch has released more blockbuster documents from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that confirm that the IRS used donor lists of tax-exempt organizations to target those donors for audits.

Sanctuary cities are only part of the problem behind the deadly illegal alien crisis. Barack Obama’s administration has instituted “sanctuary” as a national policy.

When the complete history is written of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, the dishonesty and duplicity of the Obama White House will be an inescapable fact.

Someone has to confront politicians who illegally carve out gerrymandered districts to perpetuate their time in office. This is something that Judicial Watch is happy to do.

When President Obama and his family members travel anywhere these days, it is best to grab hold of one’s wallet. This is just the latest lesson Judicial Watch has pulled out of documents received in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests directed at the U.S. Air Force.

Obama apologists have recently been trotted out en masse to absurdly portray the Obama presidency as an entirely scandal-free citadel of piety. It is, they assure us, the political equivalent of the Vestal Virgins who guard the sacred flame. As Obama, himself, has insisted, there is not a “scintilla of scandal” to be seen.
