Feb 23 (Reuters) - A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that U.S. State Department officials and aides to Hillary Clinton should be questioned under oath about whether the former secretary of state's use of a private email system was an effort to skirt open records laws.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan is likely to add to the uncertainty hovering over Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for the November U.S. presidential election, about the legal consequences of her decision to exclusively use a private email server in her New York home for her government work.
**SNIP**
Sullivan, a judge in federal court in Washington, D.C., said there was at least "a reasonable suspicion" that open records laws were undermined, The Washington Post reported. Sullivan, who was appointed by Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, said he may order the department to subpoena Clinton to return all records connected to her private email server, the newspaper reported.

Uh, no questions for Clinton herself?
First rule of law. Never ask as question you don’t know the answer to.
And bent, folded, spindled and WIPED
They have all been told to plead the 5th.
Nothing but more dog and pony shows. Pathetic.
Why, they’re probably lining up right now to speak. Right? Oh. Silly me. Questioned. Not necessarily answered though. Can you say-—— 5th amendment?
Oath? Yeah, good one. "Promise ya won't lie?" "I promise."
I guess there's no man who is MAN ENOUGH to say the word "SHALL" anymore. What a farce.
Why doesn’t the judge just ask the FBI for her emails, including the ones which were deleted? The SD or Hillary aren’t going to cough up the DELETED ones.
You forgot mutilated.
I started that habit about 6 or 7 months ago ... I agree.
Why the hell is this still going on?
She should be in prison by now and done at least for perjury.
Benghazi got caught lying and dereliction of duty.
Own server.
Lying about the server
Ling about the e-mails.
Lying about the cause of the attack in Benghazi to parents.
“On October 3, 1984, Judge Sullivan... 
was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to serve as an Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.”
Gadzooks, an actual judge from when those appointed carry out their duties under the Constitution!
Yet we'll see how it goes--
Hillary the Liar is dead meat politically speaking. and the D party bosses know it,, everyone on Rock Three knows it.
how to ease someone else into the nomination?
gotta work with them “super-delegates” and that will take a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Questioning may never occur. The Subpoena is a different story. While STATE will fight to Quash, the Subpoena would place Clinton in a position to reveal her previous lies. Clinton Foundation bought and paid for her Server and the entire system. These links could sink her before any actual charges filed. It would give Obama an “out” to pardon her without dealing with the Pay for play . Blanket Pardon and/or Medical issues coming your way soon.
It’s still going on because we have a bunch of worthless, spineless wimps in Congress who are scared shitless to do anything about it.
They are all complicit of crimes against the U.S.
The purpose of these depositions is precisely to ask questions that they may not know the answer to.
The rule you quote is a good one, but only applies to questions asked at the time of trial.
That’s what I’m saying....The judge already knows the answer....but wants to see what they do....perjury or the 5th?
Well-stated, unifox.
Criminals in CONgre$$ BUMP!
