Lawyers for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have moved to block a conservative lawyer's effort to pry into emails stored on the Clintons' private server.
In a motion filed Thursday evening in federal court in West Palm Beach, Fla., the Clintons' attorneys ask that conservative gadfly Larry Klayman be temporarily barred from demanding information in connection with a racketeering lawsuit he filed in March against the couple and the Clinton Foundation. The suit alleges that the Clintons used the private email server to frustrate Freedom of Information Act requests Klayman filed for records about waivers of Iranian sanctions and about leaks relating to measures the U.S. and Israel took to deal with Iran's nuclear program.
During a telephone conference in the case Wednesday, federal magistrate Dave Brannon gave Klayman the go ahead to begin discovery — the process of demanding documents, evidence and testimony — relevant to the suit.
Within hours of the conference, an aide to Klayman sent the Clinton team demands for "private email servers and any documents or things" related to Iran sanctions waivers, the Stuxnet computer virus the U.S. and Israel reportedly deployed to disrupt Iran's nuclear efforts and releases of information about plans to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.
Now, the Clinton lawyers are asking to be relieved of any duty to comply with those requests until a pending motion to dismiss Klayman's suit is resolved. The Clintons' attorneys also warn that allowing access to their records under these circumstances would open the door to a flurry of similar efforts.

Just the tip of the iceberg,I have met Klayman,he daily does the Lord’s work
I have his card in my wallet
Yet Freepers will show up to kick him in the teeth
I smell fear, and lots of it. Hillary is afraid. Scared poopless. She wants to be president, but she doesn’t want anyone to know who she really is. So scared.
“attorneys ask that conservative gadfly Larry Klayman be temporarily barred from demanding information....”
Gadfly? I’d say he’s right over the target and taking fire!
He’s dong the job Congress refuses to do.
While I don’t expect to see a SWAT team battering ram, I would expect to see government agents swarm the location of Hillary’s servers, and pry them out of that location.
That’s what would happen with any other person.
This has been going on for a long time. WTH is going on here?
Why does the government let those two get away with what they do?
Some haters out there say my hips are huge. In truth they're no wider than this.
Best guess ... Money buys all media and all congress
Congress is as guilty
Oh my, Hillary being more like Richard Nixon than Richard Nixon ever was himself.
Yep. When was the last time a radical leftist / prog / Marxist / democrat was called a “gadfly”?
Not me. Ever.
A billion dollars raised in their phony foundations buys a lot of protection.
not really when they brought on the ‘collapse’ ... but ‘to each’ belief is theirs
hat tip to ya
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.
