New Strzok-Page Emails Reveal FBI Gave Special Treatment to Hillary Clinton's Demands for Email Investigation Information Just Before Election

Judicial Watch announced today it received 218 pages of disgraced former FBI officials Peter Strzok-Lisa Page emails which show then-FBI General Counsel James Baker instructing FBI officials to expedite the release of FBI investigative material to Hillary Clinton's lawyer, David Kendall in August 2016.

The emails also show the FBI failed to document at least four interviews of witnesses in the Clinton email investigation.

On August 24, 2016, Daily Beast reporter Shane Harris sent an inquiry to the FBI asking if Comey's admission to Congress was accurate that Hillary's lawyers at William & Connolly did not possess the security clearances needed to see and possess highly classified Hillary emails being stored at their law offices.

In a September 1, 2016, email exchange, Page, Strzok, Office of Public Affairs official Michael Kortan and Special Agent Richard Quinn discuss an email from The Hill's John Solomon, wherein Solomon forwarded them his draft article for Circa.com citing "Government sources" detailing extensive evidence the FBI had collected, which showed Hillary Clinton "Violated federal record-keeping laws" through her use of a private BlackBerry and server, despite the security and legal risks she was told they posed.

Judicial Watch's work on the Hillary Clinton email scandal is cited extensively in the column, and former U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker was quoted as well, saying a special prosecutor was needed to look into Hillary's use of the personal server.

"These incredible documents show the leadership of the FBI rushed to give Hillary Clinton her FBI interview report shortly before the election," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

"And the documents also show the FBI failed to timely document interviews in the Clinton email 'matter' - further confirming the whole investigation was a joke. AG Barr can't reopen the Clinton email investigation soon enough."
