Judicial Watch Responds to Hillary Clinton Attack

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement in response to Hillary Clinton’s attack on the grassroots organization on Univision yesterday:

Hillary Clinton’s attacks on Judicial Watch for its success in suing for her State Department records under the Freedom of Information Act will not deter us from our nonpartisan work.  Hillary Clinton has a nasty record of attacking and threatening those who try to hold her accountable to the law.  It was Hillary Clinton who chose to conduct official government business on a separate email system.  It was this decision by Hillary Clinton that placed classified information and the nation’s security at risk.  In addition, it prevented government records from being properly searched as required by law in response to Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits.  A federal judge has led the way in requesting answers from her under penalty of perjury.  Mrs. Clinton has a problem with the truth and obeying the law – and that is why a federal judge has requested information from Mrs. Clinton, the State Department, and her closest advisors.  Blaming Judicial Watch for the email mess she made is pathetic.
