Obama Admin’s Friday news dump – oh look! Hillary emails about Benghazi! [Darleen Click]

Isn’t this special?

The State Department has received an email chain between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Gen. David Petraeus that apparently was not included in the collection she said was a full record of her work-related correspondence.

In addition, the State Department said it provided more than 900 Libya-related emails to the House Select Committee on Benghazi Friday. The Department has had those emails since December. […]

Officials said the emails in no way dealt with classified material. But their existence challenges Clinton’s claim that she has handed over the entirety of her work emails from the account. […]

The revelation adds to the growing questions related to the Democratic presidential front-runner’s unusual usage of a private email account and server while in government.

Jamal D. Ware, spokesman for the Select Committee on Benghazi, issued a statement Friday in response to the news about the new documents.

“The State Department, which has failed to comply with multiple Benghazi Committee requests and failed to act in good faith, is now indicating it intends to foster a more cooperative relationship with the committee. It’s curious the Department is suddenly able to be more productive after recent staff changes involving those responsible for document production.”

Indeed.

    The Pope’s Visit has been used as a dumping ground all week.

    Another example from the DOD:

    IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. NR-370-15

    Detainee Transfer Announced

    The Department of Defense announced today the transfer of Abdul Shalabi from the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay to the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

    On June 15, a Periodic Review Board consisting of representatives from the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, and State; the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence determined continued law of war detention of Shalabi does not remain necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the security of the United States. As a result of that review, which examined a number of factors, including security issues, Shalabi was recommended for transfer by consensus of the six departments and agencies comprising the Periodic Review Board.

    In accordance with statutory requirements, the secretary of defense informed Congress of the United States’ intent to transfer this individual and of his determination that this transfer meets the statutory standard….

    This ‘gentleman’ would be the one who was bodyguard to Bin Laden and Kalid Sheik Mohammed.

    I can see Obama using papal visits like Craig Ferguson used to use “Secretariat’s” dancing entrances. And I can see Pope Frank going right along with it.

    Could be the beginning of the Biden tell.
