Washington lawyer Cleta Mitchell told
Newsmax TV on Thursday that she found the most interesting part of the State Department's report on Hillary Clinton's emails was the list of agency employees — including the former secretary herself — who refused to be interviewed.
"These are taxpayer-paid employees who refused to even interview with the inspector general," Mitchell told "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth. "There's a lot of about a dozen staff members who worked directly for Hillary Clinton, including the people who are responsible for overseeing her technology."

Mitchell noted how even the mainstream media has bashed Clinton for not working with the inspector general because "they historically basically aided and abetted the Clintons' law-breaking and lawlessness.
"We've seen this for decades ever since the Clintons took office.
"The big issue for news organizations whether or not records and documents of the government are going to be available under the Freedom of Information Act," she added.
"Supposedly, this is something that news outlets like The Washington Post, the New York Times … that they care about.
"It goes directly to their ability to be watchdogs of the government, when they choose to do so."
