I WONDER WHY – AT 8:42 A.M. ET:  All these terrible things being said about our fine, former secretary of state.  Why do they want to hurt our Hillary?  From Fox:

The State Department has failed to turn over government documents covering Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state that The Associated Press and others requested under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act ahead of her presumptive presidential campaign. They include one request AP made four years ago and others pending for more than one year.

The agency already has missed deadlines it set for itself to turn over the material.

The State Department denied the AP's requests, and rejected the AP's subsequent appeals, to release the records sought quickly under a provision in the law reserved for journalists requesting federal records about especially newsworthy topics.

In its requests, the AP cited the likely prospect of Clinton entering the 2016 race. The former first lady is widely considered the leading Democratic contender hoping to succeed President Obama. She has made scores of recent high-profile speeches and public appearances.

On Wednesday, the conservative political advocacy group Citizens United sued the State Department for failing to disclose flight records showing who accompanied Clinton on overseas trips.

Citizens United, which in 2009 mounted a legal battle that led to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning campaign finance limits, said the department unlawfully was withholding the records it sought nearly five months ago.

COMMENT:  Why, I'm sure Ms. Hillary did everything to her high ethical standard.  But, once again, the forces of darkness are demanding that she prove it.  She must take time out from the important work of earning $300,000 a speech to attend to requests made by these little racist, fascist, anti-gay, oil-guzzling right wingers.  When will we ever learn?
