Of Course! Joe Biden's SCOTUS Nominee Protected Former Clinton Aide in Clinton-esque Email Scandal

I don’t know what it is about Dems and emails, but they don’t seem to like abiding by the rules, and when they break them, they seem to always have someone somewhere willing to give them cover. In the case of Philippe Reines, he had Judge Ketanji Jackson—Biden’s nominee for the Supreme Court.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that in 2012, Gawker filed a Freedom of Information Act request, seeking email communications between Reines and 34 different media outlets. But because Reines used a personal email account for such exchanges, the State Department was “unable to turn up responsive records,” leading to a lawsuit filing in 2015.

Around the time the lawsuit was filed, the State Department requested Reines turn over all government records he had—this took place two years after he had left the government. At this point, however, Jackson permitted the state to take even more time in compiling the records before following through with turning over those records to Gawker.

In another filing in 2015 in which Gawker requested affidavits describing the process by which Reines turned over everything he had, attorneys for Gawker fumed, stating that the entire process of keeping pertinent records of this former government official was "[nothing] short of a bureaucratic and managerial catastrophe,” as the government had no excuse for not obtaining said records prior to the lawsuit being filed.

Jackson stepped in, ruling for the state, saying that there was a difference between producing requested documents pursuant to the FOIA request and the duty to maintain records on file, especially in the case of the emails due to them not being records created through the Reines’ government email.

One of Jackson’s colleagues on the bench disagreed, likening the situation to that of two other former Hillary Clinton aides (what is it with Clinton’s people and emails), who were made to file similar affidavits. And this is where it really gets ridiculous.

Jackson stated the situation was different because Clinton meant to avoid FOIA by using the separate email and Reines did not. Well…

He actually, kinda, definitely did.

In an email from back in 2009, Reines wrote, “I want to avoid FOIA.” So… What was that Judge Jackson???

This isn’t the first red flag in Jackson’s judicial career that should give people pause. She’s also argued in Harvard Law Review for an end to what she sees as “unfair” punishment of sex offenders.

This will soon be the newest member of the Supreme Court—just another partisan hack who will more than likely aide the left in their push to destroy the country.
