Huma Abedin admits that Clinton burned daily schedules

[lockedout]

Hillary Clinton’s closest aide revealed in a deposition last week that her boss destroyed at least some of her schedules as secretary of state — a revelation that could complicate matters for the presumptive Democratic nominee, who, along with the State Department she ran, is facing numerous lawsuits seeking those public records.

Huma Abedin was deposed in connection with a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit into Clinton’s emails — but her admission could be relevant to another lawsuit seeking Clinton’s schedules.

“If there was a schedule that was created that was her Secretary of State daily schedule, and a copy of that was then put in the burn bag, that . . . that certainly happened on . . . on more than one occasion,” Abedin told lawyers representing Judicial Watch, the conservative organization behind the emails lawsuit.

Abedin made the surprising admission in response to a question about document destruction at the Department of State. A lawyer for Judicial Watch asked: “And during your tenure at the State Department, were you aware of your obligation not to delete federal records or destroy federal records?”

‘I’ve never seen anyone put their schedule in the burn bag.’
- Richard Grenell, former diplomat
Abedin was not pressed for more details.

Clinton has admitted to destroying “private personal emails” as secretary of state. But Abedin’s admission that she used so-called “burn bags” — a container that material is placed in before it is destroyed — for some of her schedules is the first time anyone close to her has disclosed destroying public records.

Dear god Hillary has the most boring "scandals".

Meanwhile Trump's being accused of raping children today.

Nah they can keep posting them, but at this point there should just be a mega thread or something for these and the ones about Trump as both are getting annoying.

Seriously, out of 20 threads on the first page, 4 are about Clinton and 2 about Trump. 30% threads are about the US elections...

I've long advocated for the US elections megathread. Make it happen, somebody!

Can we get some information on whether or not Clinton thinks hotdogs are sandwiches or not?

Please explain how burning your schedule, if she even did do it, is even remotely scandal material?

Maybe I will regret this but I will ask.

What does it mater if you destroy your schedules? It's a agenda on what you have to do and at what time.

Unless you think that Clinton had a secret meeting with Bin Laden I'm really not sure what you expect out of this?

So it's against fed regulations, some of these regulations are just stuff you don't think about as a normal person that isn't looking for a scandal under every bloody rock.

It was a copy, not the original.
I'm 100% sure they don't want "extra" government papers laying around. Nothing wrong with removing redundant papers.


But nice job trying to make a big deal out of burning copies.

If the government functions like any other office on planet Earth, you don't just burn copies of documents. You formally retire them.

More than anything this just demonstrates Hillary doesn't seem to give a shit about the many official protocols or procedures of the government. She's "above it all."

Wolf, wolf, wooolf!
This time for sure!

Matchesgate?

Also this is totally Hillary. And it's absolutely true.

OH GOD, HOW AWFUL! BURNING SCHEDULES?! BURNING SCHEDULES?!

Starving kids in Africa could have eaten those schedules!

[Deleted]

Wait, a dude with a foreign sounding name was poking around in the burn bag? Why has he not been gitmo'd?

edit: just remembered what sort of thread I was posting in so should probably throw on a /s just to make sure......
