Attorney fighting government asks NSA for Hillary's emails

A lawyer who is fighting the U.S. government on several fronts, including pursuit of the content of Hillary Clinton's privately controlled emails while secretary of state, says he won't be derailed by the fact she wiped clean her computer server.

He's just asking the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency for the copies of Clinton's emails they intercepted.

The requests were filed by Larry Klayman of FreedomWatch, who has several cases against the government over Clinton's release of information about Israel, her family foundation and the crash of the helicopter that killed members of Seal Team Six.

Pertinent to most of his work is the content of the emails on the server Clinton set up in her home while serving as secretary of state.

He's asked judges to reopen some of his cases because no emails from the private server were produced in response to his previous requests.

Politico reported Clinton wiped clean the private server housing her email system.

The word came from Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who is chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi. He said in a statement, "While it is not clear precisely when Secretary Clinton decided to permanently delete all emails from her server, it appears she made the decision after October 28, 2014, when the Department of State for the first time asked the secretary to return her public record to the department."

No problem, wrote Klayman.

In a letter to the NSA, which was similar to a letter he sent to the CIA, he said his organization was submitting requests for documents under the Freedom of Information Act.

"It has been publicly revealed and officially confirmed that the NSA routinely and continuously intercepts and captures all or most electronic messages … sent and received by persons inside the United States and also worldwide. The U.S. government argues that this indiscriminate interception of emails on a massive scale is necessary, lawful and justified on grounds that the massive database collected and stored can later be searched, as needed. As a result, the NSA admits that it has copies of all emails sent or received by Hillary Clinton during her tenure as Secretary of State."

Klayman's letter noted there's suspicion that some of the emails contain evidence of bribery and the sale of government services.

"Freedom Watch hereby requests that the Department of State produce all documents including correspondents, memoranda, documents, reports, records, statements, audits, lists of names, applications, diskettes, letters, expense logs and receipts, calendar or diary logs, facsimile logs, telephone records call sheets, tape recordings, video/movie recordings, notes, examination, opinions, folders, files, books, manuals, pamphlets, forms, drawings, charts, photographs, electronic mail, and other documents."

The demand includes emails to and fr0m the [email protected] address and a number of other addresses.

The NSA shouldn't have a problem fulfilling the request, Klayman told WND.

He cited the agency's statement on its website: "The goal of the FOIA office at NSA is to release as much information as possible, consistent with the need to protect classified and sensitive information under the exemption provisions of the law."

He's asking for email that refers to any "change in U.S. government foreign policy, U.S. government action, U.S. government decision, U.S. government change in policy or official U.S. government statement in return for one or more donations to The Clinton Foundation."

Also, he wants anything that's seen as "a quid pro quo" in exchange for any change in government actions.

Klayman earlier had won a court judgment that NSA wiretapping likely is unconstitutional, but the verdict was stayed and the case now is on appeal.

And WND reported just days ago about another of Klayman's cases against the government.

He filed a lawsuit over Hillary Clinton's hidden emails, charging that her actions, in combination with those of her husband, Bill Clinton, and their family foundation, amount to violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, also known as RICO.

The action from Klayman was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Klayman for years has been a Washington watchdog, having engaged Bill Clinton in court battles during his presidency. He's also taken on terror interests and foreign influences in the United States. In the last year he has won a federal court judgment against the National Security Agency's spy-on-Americans program and brought a case against Barack Obama over his executive actions delaying deportation for up to 5 million illegal aliens.

The new lawsuit alleges that over the last decade or so, the Clintons have participated in several "acts" that constitute a "criminal enterprise" designed to enrich them.

According to Klayman, the Clintons, through mail and wire fraud and false statements, misappropriated documents he was entitled to receive and possess under the Freedom of Information Act regarding Hillary Clinton's involvement in releasing Israeli war and cyber-warfare plans and practices.

Hillary Clinton orchestrated the release to harm and thwart Israeli plans to preemptively attack Iranian nuclear sites to stop the Islamic nation's march to producing atomic weapons, according to Klayman.

The claim also explains Klayman used the FOIA to try to get details from the State Department regarding waivers to do business with Iran – "acts [that are] alleged to be the result of the defendants selling government influence in exchange for bribes from interests which have donated to The Clinton Foundation, paid huge speaking fees to the Clintons and other means."

There was no immediate response to a WND request to the combined New York office for Bill Clinton and the foundation for comment.

The current scandal over Hillary Clinton's emails as secretary of state – her private server bypassed required government archiving, and she reportedly destroyed tens of thousands of emails without any oversight – "is alleged to cover up" evidence of crimes, Klayman explained.

"This is the first and only hard-hitting case to address the growing email scandal. What Hillary Clinton, her husband, and their foundation have done is nothing new. It is simply part of a criminal enterprise which dates back at least 10 years, all designed to enrich themselves personally at the expense of the American people and our nation. It's time, however, that they finally be held legally accountable," Klayman said at the time.

The Clintons' foundation also has been embroiled in scandal recently with the revelation that Arab nations were among the many foreign donors to the Clinton-controlled organization during Hillary Clinton's tenure as a senior government official.

"Defendants have systematically and continuously, over the last ten (10) years and more, conducted a corrupt enterprise in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act," the filing claims, "all of which acts are continuing in nature."
