A federal appeals court for the District of Columbia has breathed new life into the Hillary email-gate scandal which will be music to the ears of Trump's "lock her up" supporters. The case was filed by watchdog groups Judicial Watch and Cause of Action seeking to force the State Department to instruct the Department of Justice to file a federal records suit to recover Hillary's missing emails. A lower court had previously ruled that the State Department's efforts to recover Hillary's emails were sufficient and threw the cases out. But D.C. Circuit Judge Stephen Williams, a Ronald Reagan appointee, had a different view. Per The Hill:
U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg had previously ruled that state’s efforts to recover the documents — tens of thousands of which Clinton turned over voluntarily in 2014 — were sufficient and threw out the cases.
But the three-judge appeals court panel on Tuesday said that State had not done enough.
"Even though those efforts bore some fruit, the Department has not explained why shaking the tree harder — e.g., by following the statutory mandate to seek action by the Attorney General — might not bear more still,” D.C. Circuit Judge Stephen Williams, a Ronald Reagan appointee, wrote in the court’s opinion. “It is therefore abundantly clear that, in terms of assuring government recovery of emails, appellants have not 'been given everything [they] asked for.”
“Absent a showing that the requested enforcement action could not shake loose a few more emails, the case is not moot.”
While the new opinion acknowledges that DOJ involvement would be rendered moot if the defendants could provide definitive proof that additional efforts wouldn't result in the recovery of additional emails, it also highlights that no such "factual support" has been presented

No wonder Hillary looked so sad today.
I think we’re going to see some serious S@#T go down come January 21st.
They need to cool their jets for about three weeks so Barkey doesn’t get any ideas.
Is that her today??!!
She has NO friends. NONE.
Deservedly so.
Silence will be her loudest critic.
To go from a promised lifestyle of power, jetsetting, rubbing elbows with the world’s Superpowers, being waiting on hand and foot to eating alone and paying her own bill.
By the way, where is Bill? And where is the waitress??!!
Interesting that the Circuit Court Judge was twice identified as a Reagan appointee while the District Court Judge was not identified as an Obummer appointee.
And where is Huma?
Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!!! ....
She’s worth at least $300 million and probably billions if the truth be known.
I guess I have different values.
Rich and miserable or middle class and loved.
Hmmm...
Her boss needs to be locked up too, but enough about George Soros.
Stupid Obama should be shaking in his girdle right about now. The more that comes out, the more he will be implicated in the treason.
Answer one of those questions and you’ll have answered the other one.
You’re citing her financial assets.
She’s actually worth nothing, except perhaps as an example of what not to do.
Well now it’s getting interesting. Will the pardon come and if she accepts it isn’t it more or less an admission of guilt.
“...following the statutory mandate to seek action by the Attorney General...”
Interesting!!!
Even if she is pardoned, it won’t affect this case as it is with the DoS. The truth will get its day in the sun, no matter what they do to shield her.
Once the truth is known, her willing accomplices in the media will just keep digging that hole deeper.
Had to correct the glaring error of tunnel vision....
