1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Have a little news flash. Are Fox of Business guy

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: as making a government agency more efficient and the government

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: agency hates it. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, former Exon CEO,

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: is giving hundreds of State Department officials and assignment clear

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: up the huge backlog of public records requests. But by

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: trying to make the State Department more transparent, Tillerson is

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: making State Department employees mad. Why should clearing a backlog

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: be a problem, Well, it's turned to political for the answer. Apparently,

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: many State Department workers believe that Tillerson has an old

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: terior reason to clear up the records backlog. Of political reason,

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: Clearing the backlog means that thousands of former Secretary State

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Clinton's official emails will now be released instead of staying

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: buried at the department for years or decades or maybe forever.

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: There are over thirteen thousand Freedom of Information Act requests

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: on file, many involving documents from Hillary's tenure. Allow Those

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: requests are from conservative groups. Judicial Watch says the State

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Department has yet to process at least seventy two thousand

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: records containing Hillary emails. Another thing has State Department officials

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,639
Speaker 1: fuming they resent being asked to do work that should

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: be done by lower levels staffers and interns. It's beneath them.

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: The assignment is turning them into glorified clerks. This is classic, folks,

22
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: This is the swamp in the deep state is deeply mad.
