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 [[Hillary Clinton email scandal|her own email server]], knowing full well those records were the property of the U.S. Government and American people.
