No conflict there…
Janice Jacobs, the State Department’s new “transparency czar,” is included in some of the private Hillary Clinton emails she is meant to oversee.
Jacobs, a career diplomat who was appointed last week as the agency’s transparency coordinator, is copied on a number of now-classified emails that have been released by the State Department over the past several months.
The transparency coordinator is meant to streamline the agency’s handling of Freedom of Information Act requests and congressional inquiries for Clinton’s private emails, which have bottlenecked in the State Department’s strained records office in recent months.
But Jacobs herself is included among the records she is charged with disclosing, raising questions about her impartiality when it comes to screening her own correspondence.
For example, Jacobs is copied on an email that discussed “diplomatic activity” in North Korea. The email has since been classified.
