Hillary Clinton’s attorneys are resisting a demand from a conservative watchdog group to provide more information regarding the set-up of the private email server used during her time as secretary of state.
Clinton was compelled last month to submit formal answers about her private server to Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. She insisted multiple times that she did not recall being warned that her email practices could violate federal recordkeeping laws, Politico reported.
Five days before the presidential election, Judicial Watch filed a complaint with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Nov. 3 charging that Clinton failed to provide sufficient answers to the group’s questions.
Lawyers for Clinton responded to the complaint in a court filing submitted Monday claiming that two of the three questions put forth by Judicial Watch fell outside of the scope approved by a federal judge.
One of the questions pressed Clinton to detail where she arrived at the estimate that State Department systems had captured 90 percent to 95 percent of her work-related messages, according to Politico. Clinton’s attorneys said the estimate came from the former Democratic nominee’s conversations with her lawyers, which are protected by attorney-client privilege.
The other question in contention asked Clinton to detail reasons for the server’s creation, which was established “to serve former President Bill Clinton years before his wife took office in 2009,” according to Politico.
The State Department also filed a response Monday supporting Clinton’s opposition to further questioning.
They have resisted from day one and every day since. How is this “news?”

What? Like with a cloth?
It’s illegal. It’s all the way illegal. Regardless of intent, regardless of content. She moved her top secret messaging off a secure gov’t server. I have never understood, from day #1, why any further detail is relevant. That she NEVER HAD a gov’t account means EVERY top secret of SCIP message she ever sent or received is automatically a law violation and had to be a law violation.
The guy who took pix of his submarine is in jail regardless of his intent. He is jail because the information (the image of the sub) moved from a secure location to an insecure location. I still see no equivocation about any of this.
“I have never understood, from day #1, why any further detail is relevant.”
Because some animals are more equal than others. End of story.
Is she still privey to daily security briefings? How or what service is she using now for yoga and recipes ?
Trump has taken a “hands off” position, which is as it should be. If he allows the DOJ to do its job, all is well.
Well then, Mrs. Clinton, you are either complicit or incompetent ... which one is it?

So much for her calls of transperancy right before the election
“insecure location.”
Non-secure location. Insecure location is when the location has low self-esteem. :)
How many recovered emails from Hillary’s server actually discussed yoga?
This no makeup, shuffling in the woods, roaming in a bookstore routine is a calculated act. The Clintons never do anything by chance. She’s playing Hillary ‘The Chin’ Gigante to avoid prosecution by the Trump administration, or at least by an independent counsel. “Don’t investigate me, bro’ !!!”
Can someone explain to me how Clinton's lawyers can know how large percentage of the work-related e-mails had been captured by the State Dept Systems, and in that case why that knowledge is protected by attorney-client privilege?
Sounds like total BS.
BINGO!!! Just having her ILLEGAL server should have gotten her ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY!!
All that's missing is the bathrobe. Just try to get THAT visual out of your head.......
Said that way, I think you have it right.
The exact reason she should be prosecuted by the incoming administration. It's not about vengeance for an ugly campaign...it's truly about the rule of law.
Everyone being held accountable for their actions, regardless status, position or wealth. Otherwise, there is no rule of law.
Incidentally....I really hate that phrase. The rule of law.
Agree, he needs to stay out of the picture and let the new DOJ be the bad cop
And the new head of the FBI....I hope!
