FBI offers second secret filing in Clinton email suit

The FBI is offering a federal judge a second secret glimpse into the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

The Justice Department asked a federal judge Monday to accept "additional details" under seal about how the FBI conducted its search for records a Vice News journalist requested under the Freedom of Information Act from the law enforcement agency about the probe it is conducting into Clinton's email set-up and how classified information came to reside in the Democratic presidential candidate's account.

"These details supplement defendant’s showing that it conducted a reasonable search, but cannot be disclosed on the public record without compromising information that the FBI seeks to protect," Justice Department lawyers wrote, citing FOIA exemption for ongoing government investigations and enforcement actions.

It's the second time the Justice Department has sought to give U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss a secret update on the high-profile, Clinton-related inquiry.

In March, government lawyers submitted a classified filing in the lawsuit brought by Vice News reporter Jason Leopold seeking various details about the case, including the contents of Clinton's server which was turned over to the FBI last August.

Leopold's lawyers objected to the secret filing and asked that an edited version of the submission be put on the public record.

The government declined, saying it had explained the situation as fully as possible in other public filings and could not add to those without undermining the interests protected by the FOIA exemption at issue.

In an order last month, Moss essentially accepted the first secret submission, but said he'll attempt to resolve the case based on the public pleadings and "will only rely on the ex parte filing to the extent necessary to do so."

People love to compare Obama and Clinton to Bernie and Clinton, but Clinton was up against a popular candidate that had no electability issues. Hell, Clinton tried to say that nominating Obama was futile because he would probably be shot. Clinton has an impending FBI criminal investigation, tons of issues with honesty, the list goes on and on.

Can't wait to see the outcome of the FBI Primary. :gaycat:

Hoping when Sanders becomes president one of his first acts in office is to enshrine Indictment Day as a national holiday :gaycat:

Before any of you come for me, this is a joke.
