First of Clinton aides testifies in watchdog case
The Hill ^ | May 18, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 05/18/2016 7:41:18 PM PDT by jazusamo

A former aide to Hillary Clinton testified on Wednesday about the Democratic presidential candidate's use of a private email server while serving as secretary of State, The New York Times reported.

Lewis Lukens testified under oath on Wednesday for two hours behind closed doors.

Lukens, a former executive director of the State Department's executive secretariat, was the first person to be deposed as part of a court case concerning Clinton's bespoke email setup.

He testified as part of a lawsuit by conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch.

Other officials that will testify in the lawsuit include Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, both Clinton's top aides at the State Department.

The depositions are scheduled to run until June 29, just about a month before the start of the Democratic National Convention.

Each interview could last as long as seven hours. The depositions are the first of two separate court-ordered processes for Judicial Watch to obtain evidence as part of different open records cases concerning Clinton’s email setup.

This deposition and the coming ones should give Hillary much to think about, especially if she tries to go to bed without sleeping pills.

I want the FBI to slow down some. I want the incitement in October.

This will bring out more than the FBI investigation.

I think this is the beginning of the end for Hillary. FBI has already mentioned the Agents should be aware of the book & film. Obama and Clinton’s have been siphning as much money as possible from the US. I suspect many new charges when another party gets into office. $6 Billion missing from State Dept. Not one person interested in investigating.

POINTS TO PONDER

<><>State Dept personnel under Hillary may be facing charges of misleading a US court WRT the court’s request for documents...and for tampering w/ evidence.

<><> And what of Bill’s culpability? The first server Hillary used was the one in their Chappaqua house for Slick/s use when he left the White House......against the advice of Slick/s people.

<><> At some point Hillary went from Chappaqua to a server managed by an outside company. Pagliano probably had some involvement in the migration (if not sole responsibility).

<><> Hillary obviously had to keep her multiple pay-to-play Foundation business off government computers. Fortunately whether it was Pagliano or someone else, the file deletion/wipe was less than professional.

<><> Pagliano’s dual role as: 1) a tax-paid US government employee, and, 2) Hillary’s personal employee, opens a whole new arena for investigation.

<><> What was Pagliano’s day-to-day State Dept job? What did he actually do, not just his job description, but actual work accomplishments? Is there a paper trail showing he did any actual work at all, or was the State “job” just a make-work position to get him on the tax-paid payroll in return for his services to Clintons?

<><> Pagliano listed himself on LinkedIn as a political-appointee saying he “Serves as strategic advisor and special projects manager to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) / Deputy Chief Information Officer (DCIO) overseeing the operations of the Information Resource Management (IRM) bureau.”

<><> Pagliano being employed, by his own admission, at such a high level inside State’s IT structure assures that State’s most senior info officers knew about Clinton’s email setup, and apparently did not, or were not, able to stop it. Unless Brian never told his supervisor about his “other” job.


And what abut Sid Blumenthal? He had inside govt info and was constantly in touch w/ Secy Hillry.

<><> For public consumption, Sid was beng touted as a Clinton Foundation hire-—the factotum hired to preserve Bill’s pesidential legacy (cue laugh machine).

<><> Sid’s emails show he had classified info almost verbatim (as confirmed by the NSA).

<><> Blumenthal was urging Hillary to bomb Libya b/c he had profit-making business interests predicated on a new Libyan govt.

<><> Sid also used scare tactics——that Obama would lose reelection if they didn’t bomb Libya.

Hillary passed on this information to Obama.....did he know it came from a person he banned from govt employment?

The entire Foundation(s) are frauds. Major conflicts of interest. Using Gov’t resources and intel. They have taken Billions of dollars and are paying off everyone. Now they seem at a cross roads.
DOJ and FBI know every bit of this and have since before they found the Server. They are trying to find a way out that doesn’t take EVERYONE down with them. Foundations didn’t even attempt to donate to anything. They thought they were immune.

That is the key. They are under oath. If they lie it is felony. The FBI is stalled by Lynch at Justice Dept.
