Mike Pence is Fighting In Court to Keep His Emails a Secret

Apparently, Hillary Clinton’s emails were fair game and public records. But not the emails on Mike Pence’s government account and he has taken his fight to the Supreme court trying to keep his emails secret.

Vice President Mike Pence is asking the Indiana Supreme Court to let him keep secret some documents emailed to him while he was the state’s governor.

The request comes after an Indianapolis lawyer earlier this month sought the overturning of a state appeals court decision denying access to emails sent to Pence in 2014 in which a staffer for Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott outlined a legal strategy for challenging then-President Barack Obama’s executive order on immigration.

The appeals court ruled the documents are privileged attorney-client communications.

Pence lawyer Joseph Chapelle argues in a Friday court filing that requiring the release of such documents would interfere with the governor’s decision making.

The state supreme court hasn’t yet decided whether it will consider the appeal.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
