Cause Of Action Is Filing A Lawsuit Over Clinton’s Secretary Of State Emails

Politico: Cause Of Action Claims Clinton “Blatantly Ignores The Law.” Politico reported of the lawsuit:

D.C.-based Cause of Action filed a lawsuit Wednesday against current Secretary of State John Kerry and National Archives chief David Ferriero, seeking to force them to recover Clinton’s emails and ensure they are placed in government hands. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, also asks a judge to issue a legal finding that Clinton illegally removed federal records from government control when she stored them on a private server.

“Fundamentally, when you’re head of a Cabinet agency, the Federal Records Act requires you to have an enormous amount of duties in terms of preserving records. Clearly, former Secretary of State Clinton did not exercise those duties diligently,” Cause of Action executive director Dan Epstein said in an interview. “What concerns us is the signal is sent when somebody with that much power blatantly ignores the law.”

Politico also wrote that Cause of Action is “viewed as conservative by many in the often-liberal access community” and is pursuing the lawsuit on its own. [Politico, 7/8/15]
