The Justice Department has filed a court motion to prevent former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from being ordered to testify in a deposition in a case connected to her use of a private email server, The Hill reports. The Obama administration's move is in response to a deposition request from Judicial Watch, claiming the conservative legal watchdog is trying to expand the scope of the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit related to the preparation of talking points for officials to discuss the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya in which U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed.

Last week, Judicial Watch asked the court to interview Clinton and five other current and former State Department officials about the server, after federal judges ruled in this suit and another one brought by Judicial Watch that some fact-finding is legitimate.

Yea, tell that to all the illegals crossing our southern border. They have probably fired more shots at us (in crimes) than we have at them.

Is it time to start surrounding their buildings and daring them to come out?

Way past.

Yep. *That* is what Donald Trump is trying to get rid of, and is the reason why the establishment is against him.

And the reason so many voters are for him.

The Federal DOJ is just a race baiting cattery of entertainment political hack ashats, not quite as good as this:

Thank you, gaijin, for linking to a very well written summary of the FBI investigation of Hillary Capone Clinton. Whether the writer is reporting facts or wishful thinking (he’s a Sanders supporter), I don’t know. From the article:

“...While there is an excellent cas[e]to be made th[at] Hillary committed treasonous actions, the strongest case the FBI has is charging both Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as the Clinton Foundation of Racketeering...”
