News Of Hillary Clinton’s Delayed Email Release Is Perfect ‘Payback’ For Republican Obstruction
The Daily Mail is one of the news sources that first report that Hillary Clinton’s latest email release had been delayed by the U.S. State Department until after the election, which is already enraging plenty of conservatives who are obsessed with taking her down.
According to the article, the amount of email the State Department delayed to release are said to be a total of 14,700.
Outside of the uncontrollable belief of corruption on the part of the State Department, this could and perhaps should be seen as a tit-for-tat move against Donald Trump for not wanting to release his tax returns until after the election.
The president of the group Judicial Watch Tom Fitton, who filed a lawsuit to have her emails released is stomping raving mad apparently, after news that a federal judge delayed the release, which was initially reported by the Wall Street Journal.
“The American people could be deprived of this information at this essential time. This is an absolutely corrupt process the State Department has come up with.”
After judge’s order, [yours truly] said “the American people could be deprived of this info at this essential time.” https://t.co/2k86hsUJDc

The obsession that Republicans have with trying to get at Hillary Clinton’s emails has reached psychotic levels, with a GOP that relies heavily on conspiracy theories from the Donald Trump camp in order to topple their opponent, motivated by a candidate with possible ties to a massive, Russian-infused propaganda machine, and with the Alt-Right movement taking the lead.
That this newly “militarized” GOP should get everything they want, whenever they want it, makes this news that the new email release has been delayed by federal judicial powers, a great way to push Republican buttons, if not entirely mash them.
Even better is that her campaign could use this move as a tactic to say that Hillary Clinton will get the email release delay lifted if Donald Trump releases his tax returns, but it doesn’t appear that she has that kind of control, outside of the mounting conspiracy theories which say different.
All the same, another tit-for-tat move here is that with the delay of the email release until after the election, it could be seen as a direct response to the fact that the GOP has decided to also delay legislation and even hearings for Merrick Garland — President Obama’s Supreme Court pick, until after the election, which is a tactic Republicans started using this year to let their Republican pick, Donald Trump, dismantle everything should he become president.
That her email release was delayed really doesn’t make a difference, as she has been targeted consistently and persistently for decades, and so whether her email release was delayed or even released earlier would have made no difference at all.

In the final stretch of the campaign, with the new series of debates to begin Monday night, perhaps the most frustrating thing someone can endure during the showdown between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is getting pushed to answer as to why the release of her latest email batch had been delayed. Or it could be something that her rival could bring up. But again, for as long as she’s been going through this ordeal, it probably won’t bother her anymore.
This is not the first time in fact that her email release was delayed. The Inquisitr wrote about another delay that took place earlier in the year, which also triggered more conspiracies and suspicion about what she was hiding. But one must take solace that with frequent news about these email release delays, all it does is make Republicans raving mad.
