Federal Judge Just Made MAJOR Ruling That May Devastate Hillary’s Election Chances
In a ruling that could prove devastating to the Hillary Clinton campaign, a federal judge has ruled that the State Department must immediately begin publishing Clinton’s private emails.
The ruling, which came down Thursday from U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras, is in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed last year by Vice reporter Jason Leopold.
After missing the initial deadline for release back in January, the State Department again attempted to stall release until after the Democratic primary contests. Arguing that this delay would prevent voters from making an informed decision about Clinton in the upcoming caucuses, Leopold’s team convinced Judge Contreras that an immediate release was necessary.
Under the ruling, the State Department must release all the emails by the end of the month. The releases will come in four separate batches, the first of which will be dumped this Saturday and will include 550 of Clinton’s emails. The remaining dumps will be published on Feb. 19, Feb. 26, and Feb. 29.
The State Department has announced that despite the previously missed deadline and the current order, it will be withholding 37 pages of emails which were deemed “top secret.” This is the highest level of classification a document can receive in government.
The email scandal has undoubtedly hurt Hillary Clinton’s reputation as a trustworthy individual, and her numbers continue to slip against rival Bernie Sanders. After her major defeat in New Hampshire, it would seem the Clinton campaign can hardly afford any additional scandals. Depending on the content of the emails published, they could very well end her chances as a presidential contender.
