The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was passed so that ordinary citizens could have access to government records to see what their civil servants and bureaucrats were doing. [[Hillary Clinton]] served as an intern on the [[Hillary Rodham Clinton and Watergate|Watergate investigating committee]], and was one of the first to hear the famous Nixon Oval Office tapes. Being first hand involved in the intricacies of obtaining government records, and why the FOIA was created, it was shocking and disingenuos when Hillary skirted the Freedom of Information Act with her own email server, knowing full well those records were the property of the U.D Government and American people. Much was made about "obstruction of justice" when a Nixon tape had an 18 minute gap, but nary a word was spoken by career civil servants when Hillary confessed to destroying 33,000 emails that were property of the American people.
