Go tigers In a recent NBC News interview to promote her latest memoir, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has conceded that she took extensive notes during the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi. “I kept a lot of notes,” Clinton said. Asked if she would turn them over to the House Select Committee investigators, she responded, “They can read the book.” The Judicial Watch lawsuit could force Clinton to turn over all notes taken during and following the attack. .... Judicial Watch has now filed 40 FOIA requests, a Mandatory Declassification Review, and seven lawsuits against the Obama administration relating to the Benghazi terrorist attack. Judicial Watch filed a FOIA request on October 12, 2012, to gain access to documents about the controversial talking points used by then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice for a series of appearances on television Sunday news programs on September 16, 2012. The Rhodes “smoking gun” email was produced in response to a court order in Judicial Watch v. State, No. 1:13-cv-00951, filed on June 21, 2013. In June 2013, Judicial Watch released the first seven photos depicting the devastating aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks on U.S. diplomatic and CIA facilities in Benghazi. The following November, it obtained 32 new documents from the Department of State, including 13 previously withheld photos depicting the carnage at the U.S. Consulate. The documents were obtained in response to a Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the State Department on February 25, 2013 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1-13-cv-00242)). “Once again, we are going to court to force the Obama administration to come clean about the events surrounding the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Hillary Clinton’s flippant refusal to make available the notes she took during the attack fits right in with the Obama administration’s pattern of obstruction. This administration, which promised to be the ‘most transparent in history’ has turned out to be one the most secretive. Thanks to Judicial Watch, Congress has a renewed focus on Benghazi, but Judicial Watch will continue its independent lawsuits and investigations – which not only get documents, but force the Obama administration to account to federal courts for its lawless cover-up and its Benghazi lies.”
