A federal judge in Washington, D.C. ruled Friday that Hillary Clinton must answer written questions from a group that filed a lawsuit over her private email server.
Lawyers for Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog organization, asked to interview her under oath as part of their Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department.
But Judge Emmet Sullivan said Friday that the group "has failed to demonstrate that it cannot obtain the discovery it seeks through other, less burdensome or intrusive means such as interrogatories."

If the group wants to ask her follow-up questions in writing, it must go back to the judge and get permission.
The group is seeking the details of Huma Abedin's relationship with the State Department that permitted her to do outside work while she was a top aide to Secretary Clinton.
Looks like the fix is in for Hillary.
This will be fun. Hill will have to put her lies on paper. Still, nothing will come of it. “No reasonable prosecutor...”
“I do not recall...”
“There has never been any proof...”
In other words, her team of lawyers will write the answers, saying nothing, admitting nothing, answering nothing and ensuring that the non-answers are delivered post-election.
There is so much evidence out there that she is bullet proof.
The “why” goes back to intent, which Comey said Hillary had none of.
Oh, some BS written response to the questions submitted to Herself will be made, but the response would have little or nothing to do with the intent of the request.
Herself has made the art of evasion into a truly magnificent craft, the highest of Kabuki theater, with histrionics, a fine display of disdain and feigned ignorance toward the person directing the inquiry, and a totally irrelevant response, ranging from a cold stare with prolonged silence, to inappropriate laughter or even a coughing fit lasting several minutes, interspersed with prolonged bathroom breaks. The recollection that Herself has of the encounter would be that Herself was once again “exonerated”.
But its after the election.... not good...
“He gave the group until October 14 to give her the questions, and she has 30 days to answer them. “
Nothing will happen. And I hope the judge has his life insurance paid up. There’s been quite a few ‘incidents’ around Hillary’s inner circle.
I am getting very tired of this MSM meme, so prevalent that the description writes itself! When Judicial Watch went after the Bush'43 administration, I seem to recall the description was reduced to 'government watchdog'! Still, when it is the Obama Administration, the proper bias must be deployed!
It will still be interesting given that the testimony in this case from her aides has been released.
yes I saw that too. Nothing will come of this either. Kabuki.

VOTE for Trump/Pence 2016!
Betcha’ she never even sees the questions, let alone writes out answers. That’s what the staff is for.
.........no sir, the fix is not in.......as a non-lawyer, I know about interrogatories and the subject of “discovery” like Tiger knows a golf course.
A couple points of MANY are:
1. “Interrogatories” can be a monumental pain in the ass and cost tens of thousands in attorneys fees and hundreds of hours of the defendant’s time and her staff’s time to answer.
2. “Interrogatories” do not preclude a deposition later on. In fact, they most likely will provide the basis for a future deposition.
Bottom line, the judge did her no big favors. The lawsuit goes on.
Makes sense.
