D.C. Circuit Judge Robert Wilkins suggested it was time to consign the Clinton email imbroglio to the history books.
A federal appeals court panel has unanimously overturned a lower-court order requiring Hillary Clinton to provide a sworn deposition about her use of a private email account and server during her four years as secretary of State.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, 3-0, that the conservative group Judicial Watch was not entitled to depose Clinton in connection with an 8-year-old Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking records of details about information national security adviser Susan Rice discussed during interviews in 2012 about the deadly attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya.
During the protracted litigation surrounding the email saga, Clinton answered written questions under penalty of perjury about her email practices.
However, in March of this year, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordered the former first lady, Cabinet official and two-time Democratic presidential candidate to sit for a deposition. Lamberth, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan who has tangled with Clinton administration aides in a series of cases for decades, called Hillary Clinton’s earlier answers "incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory, at best."
But the appeals court ruled Friday that Lamberth’s order was a “clear abuse of discretion.”
D.C. Circuit Judge Robert Wilkins suggested it was time to consign the Clinton email imbroglio to the history books.
“Secretary Clinton … provided eleven hours of public testimony before the House Select Committee, and has answered countless media inquiries on the matter,” wrote Wilkins, an appointee of President Barack Obama. “These facts underscore both the impropriety of the District Court’s Order and the appropriateness of turning the page on the issue.”
Wilkins called the proposed topics for Clinton’s deposition “completely attenuated from any relevant issue in this case.”

To quote the famous criminal running out the clock: “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

This is what the legal system now comes down to in the US...
Despite the protestations of John Roberts...
D.C. Circuit Judge Robert Wilkins
Her testimony can be summed up in 3 words; “I don’t recall” which roughly translates to “F**k you, Peasants!”.
Not really his decision to make. But this is a banana republic now, so riots, release prisoners, arrest gym owners and let the SJW dictate what we’re allowed to think and say.
But, where can you go that’s any better. Time to become Amish.
He looks like an older Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Belaire.
The Swamp protects the Swamp.
Despite the protestations of neutered cuck, John Roberts.
fixed it!
And as usual the Judiciary will come to the rescue and decide what is legal and illegal and that sorry bytch knew it. It’s a dead give-away when she keeps popping up day after day and spew her bilge about Trump and the Republicans. I know she’ll answer to a higher power one day but I’d like to see her crushed in some way before I take a dirt nap so for now I’ll just be grateful that she lost in 2016 and how that knocked the props out from under her.....sigh
They won’t get the info out of Hillary.
They will have to get it from somebody else.
Somebody that doesn’t mind ending up like Seth Rich.
And Roberts will side with the libs.
As long as you have a D next to your name you can get away with ANYTHING..murder, treason, anything..just say “Yeah Im a democrat” and its all good
Appointed by Barack Obama
