Like every other aspect of the federal government, this agency is no longer about serving the American people but serving and protecting their bosses and themselves. We can end this debacle starting on November 8th. We at least we will have a chance to reverse this corrupt decay.
Seven months after a federal judge ordered the State Department to begin releasing monthly batches of the detailed daily schedules showing meetings by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, the government told The Associated Press it won’t finish the job before Election Day.
The department has so far released about half of the schedules. Its lawyers said in a phone conference with the AP’s lawyers that the department now expects to release the last of the detailed schedules around Dec. 30, weeks before the next president is inaugurated.
The AP’s lawyers late Friday formally asked the State Department to hasten that effort so that the department could provide all Clinton’s minute-by-minute schedules by Oct. 15. The agency did not immediately respond.
The schedules drew new attention this week after the AP analyzed the ones released so far. The news agency found that more than half the people outside the government who met or spoke by telephone with Clinton while she was secretary of state had given money – either personally or through companies or groups – to the Clinton Foundation. The AP’s analysis focused on people with private interests and excluded her meetings or calls with U.S. federal employees or foreign government representatives.

Heard radio host this morning ask, How hard is it to check that there is no confidential information in/on the schedules. Well the correct answer is, that takes zero time. Because there should not be any confidential information there in the first place. If there is, then admin. assistants committed a security violation.
