As the investigation into former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton grows President Barack Obama has lent an air of suspicion to it, in refusing to release emails between the two. America is supposed to operate on a system of checks and balances and government transparency. Yet here we have it, President Obama is hiding emails between himself and Clinton, giving an air of illegality to their conduct. Obama's spokesman states the emails will be released several years from now. However, much of the illegal dealings in Washington occurs face to face.

It is a principle that previous White Houses have vigorously defended as it goes to the core of the President’s ability to receive unvarnished advice and counsel during his time in office and is central to the independent functioning of the Executive Branch."

A White House official declined to say whether any of the Obama-Clinton emails related to Libya. If so, the White House's position could cause an executive privilege clash with Congress, since the House Benghazi Committee subpoenaed all Clinton emails related to Benghazi in March of this year. The new release of Clinton emails — the largest batch of messages made public since State began posting the messages online to comply with a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit — revealed more about Clinton's knowledge of embassy security issues and provided a window into lighter moments like Clinton being instructed in the use of emojis...
