Former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin used her personal email account to transmit classified documents and coordinate favors for Clinton donors, according to emails obtained Wednesday by the watchdog group Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch obtained the documents as part of a lawsuit filed after the State Department failed to respond to a March 2015 Freedom of Information Act request.
The newly obtained documents include 91 email exchanges involving Clinton when she was secretary of state that were not turned over to the State Department, the group said.
It said the documents contradict Clinton’s claim that, “as far as she knew,” she had turned over all of her government emails, sent via a personal email account using a private server while she was secretary of state.
The emails reveal multiple instances in which Abedin used her personal account to send and receive classified documents as well as arrange personal favors for Clinton donors and political allies on behalf of the 2016 Democratic nominee for president, Judicial Watch said.
“Pay to play, classified information mishandling, influence peddling, cover-ups—these new emails show why the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s conduct must be resumed,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a prepared statement.
In one example, Miguel Lausell, a Puerto Rican telecom executive and donor of over $1 million to the Clinton Library, requested through Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band that a specific candidate be considered for the U.S. ambassadorship to the Dominican Republic.
The following day in April 2009, a Clinton aide passed Lausell’s message to the secretary of state’s special assistants and instructed them to “make sure there is a response.” It remains unclear whether the person in question received the ambassadorship, as the name is redacted.

Didn't she testify under oath to the fact that all of the deleted emails had nothing to do with work and she produced every one she had? Wouldn't this prove perjury? Not sure how she couldn't be prosecuted for this or how she can get out of it.

And who's more or less in control of FOIA releases? *Gasp* The Executive Branch. The timing on this is way too convenient. It means either one of two things. Either: A.) The Trump administration chose to send these documents at this time based on the current political climate or; B.) Judicial Watch has had these documents for a while but they're simply in the pocket of the Trump White House.
It's just like Wikileaks the other day. They pretty much revealed themselves to be a propaganda arm for the government.

This administration really doesn't understand the concept of subtlety does it? It's announced that Mueller is seeking a grand jury in regards to the Russia probe and then all of a sudden, "Oh look at all this stuff being leaked about Hillary!"
Also, the Trump administration may not want to be pointing fingers when it comes to pay to play. I mean of course there's the obvious deal with Saudi Arabia, but it seems like the only qualification that most of Trump's cabinet has is giving a lot of money to Trump and the GOP.
