U.S. judge orders discovery to go forward over Clinton’s private email system
The Washington Post ^ | 2/23/2016 | Spencer S. Hsu

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that State Department officials and top aides to Hillary Clinton should be questioned under oath about whether they intentionally thwarted federal open records laws by using or allowing the use of a private email server throughout Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of Washington came in a lawsuit over public records brought by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal watchdog group, regarding its May 2013 request, for information about the employment arrangement of Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide.

A State Department official said that the department is aware of the order and that it is reviewing it but declined to comment further, citing the ongoing litigation.

Interstingly some of the judiciary seems to have gotten the memo that they need to do their job. A storm is coming.

Clinton's server, lies and dishonesty bite her big butt.

If she stonewalls and does not release the speech transcripts....it enables Republicans to paint her into a corner. This is not just a vast right-wing conspiracy that is causing her problems. She has caused herself these problems. The server is not the vast right-wing conspiracy. It's Hillary Clinton deciding she could put a server in her closet. The same with the transcripts. The same with accepting b anking money in a presidential year when she knew that she was probably going to be running for President.....

It took years for Watergate to reach critical mass.

Hopefully this goes nuclear by summer.

Reminds me of the old saying re the frog in a pot of water that is starting to get a little heat.

I really do want her to win the nomination first so Trump can win over the disaffected Bernie voters then clean her clock.

What month is her nomination? Sounds like a great plan re timing.

FBI sources have said if they don’t have this pressed, then essentially anyone can leak classified information. Nobody would able to be prosecuted with such a precedent.

The IC and the deep state people don’t give a damn about Hillary. Look at Watergate, the CIA and FBI told the White House to get lost.

Nixon didn’t even get assets killed.

They are crossing their Ts and dotting their i’s but they are also waiting to see if the witch becomes the nominee. If it comes down to her and Trump they may hold back till after the election. If she drops out or loses the election, she is toast.

“Mmmmm.....no. From the break-in (6/19/72) to Nixon’s resignation (8/9/74) was just under 26 months.”

Yeah, but it felt like forever.

2 years from break-in to resignation. The beast committed these offenses during Zer0’s first term, has already been out of office for more than three years and we are nowheres NEAR any kind of finality.

There is NO comparison, time wise, between the two. Watergate only felt longer because it was front page above the fold daily.

I think this will be slow walked.

If it looks like she will lose the general, she will get pardoned.

Hillary could beat Beyoncee to death with a tire iron in front of Obama and not get prosecuted. She has the goods on him. If she goes down, he goes down

Obama isn't running for office. He's almost finished his 2nd term. There is nothing for him to lose. If the Clinton's have real dirt on Obama, then others do as well.
