Late last week, the State Department’s Freedom of Information Act released a report detailing a disturbing email that appears to show former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, instructing a subordinate to remove headings from a classified document and send it to her in an unsecure manner. Senator Chuck Grassley, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said this raises a whole host of serious questions and underscores the importance of the various inquiries into the transmittal of information through Clinton’s non-government email server. Grassley said he wants to know how long the State Department has been aware of this email, why it is just now being released, were her instructions actually carried out, and if so, has the FBI opened a criminal inquiry into the circumstances? He adds that President Obama’s State and Justice Departments owe the American people swift and accurate answers to these questions and that the former Secretary of State needs to finally come clean and be transparent about the email practices she used during her tenure in the department.
