Today Citizens United released a new film that takes a fresh look at our landmark victory for free speech at the Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.



The Fight For Free Speech: Citizens United Ten Years Later, goes back to 2004 to discuss the origins of the case, onto the oral arguments at the Supreme Court in 2009, to the historic ruling handed down in 2010, and then highlights the impact and legacy of the decision. 



The film stars Citizens United President David N. Bossie; Citizens United Executive Vice President & General Counsel Michael Boos; U.S. Senator Ted Cruz; U.S. Senator Mike Lee; former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson, who argued the case for Citizens United before the Supreme Court; Matt McGill, who played a prominent role on the Citizens United legal team for the case; and Cleta Mitchell, a highly respected campaign finance attorney.

Statement of Citizens United Executive Vice President And General Counsel Michael Boos On Today's FBI Announcement:

“We’re pleased to learn that the FBI has re-opened the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email mess.  While we don’t know what’s been newly uncovered, the facts already in the public domain demonstrate widespread impropriety.

What the FBI just discovered must be far more serious than what’s already public. The Clintons have lived above the law for far too long. It’s time to empanel a grand jury to get to the bottom of this.”

Today Citizens United is releasing 612 pages of State Department emails relating to the Clinton Foundation, Dennis Cheng, Doug Band, Haiti, and more.



These emails were produced to Citizens United by the State Department on October 21st, 22nd, and 25th as a result of FOIA requests and litigation and cover the following:




	
"Do you know if there’s ever been or if there’s been talk of organizing official business delegations for S trips abroad?"



	
"We need to start inviting members soon..."



	
"Who among our strong Hispanic supporters could we nominate for Amb to the Vatican?"

This week the State Department produced the last batch of Hillary Clinton's State Department schedules.



They cover mostly September 2012 – February 2013, with some random schedules mixed in as well.



Today Citizens United is releasing Secretary Clinton's schedule from September 2012.



As you will see, the schedules for September 1st through 9th are dated 2010.



When asked about this discrepancy, a government lawyer for the State Department said that while the year is wrong, the schedules do reflect what occurred from September 1st through 9th 2012.



Citizens United asked if a correct version of the schedule exists and the government's response was that the records speak for themselves and that in FOIA litigation the State Department produces what exists, not correct errors in the requested records.



Citizens United asked what the reason was for the error and the government's response was that someone made a mistake entering the year in the schedule four years ago.



Citizens United then asked if the State Department was planning on correcting the record and the government again said that in the context of FOIA, the State Department produces records that exist and doesn't clean up errors in the records.



Citizens United is concerned about this revelation.



We believe at very least the State Department should provide a detailed explanation for this error in Secretary Clinton's schedule during the week leading up to the terrorist attack in Benghazi and correct the record for future requesters.



For instance, if a future FOIA request asked for Secretary Clinton's schedule from September 1 – 9, 2012, is it possible the requester would be told no responsive records exist?
