However, an aide at the Benghazi Select Committee noted that the document was not redacted at all in an earlier version sent to the panel on Feb. The document Issa tweeted appears to be an emailed draft copy of a speech by Clinton that was included in the Freedom of Information Act release of Hillary Clinton's emails last month. Issa added that "the repeated efforts to deny access to official correspondence and keep the American people in the dark about official actions raise serious questions about Secretary Clinton's judgment and fitness for public office." "This fifteen-page redacted report is, unfortunately, not a fluke, but a typical example of the kind of petty gamesmanship we've come to expect from the ironically self-proclaimed 'most transparent administration ever,'" Issa, R-Calif., wrote in a statement to ABC News. By mid-afternoon, the post had been retweeted more than 100 times. Issa, one of the administration's fiercest critics in his former role as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, tweeted out a picture Tuesday of a 15-page document that was almost completely redacted, claiming the document was sent in that form to the Benghazi Select Committee. The heavily redacted version Issa tweeted was actually the one publicly posted on the State Department website last month as part of its release of Clinton's emails as secretary of state.
However, though Issa suggested the redacted document was sent to the Benghazi Select Committee, which is investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack, the committee actually received an unredacted version, according to committee aides. Darrell Issa ripped the State Department on Twitter today for heavily redacted records related to Hillary Clinton's involvement in the Obama administration's response to the 2012 Benghazi, Libya, terrorist attacks.
