Full title: Federal Court Orders Discovery on Clinton Email, Benghazi Scandal: Top Obama-Clinton Officials, Susan Rice and Ben Rhodes to Respond to Judicial Watch Questions Under Oath

Judicial Watch announced today that United States District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled that discovery can begin in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides will now be deposed under oath. Senior officials — including Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes, Jacob Sullivan, and FBI official E.W. Priestap — will now have to answer Judicial Watch’s written questions under oath. The court rejected the DOJ and State Department’s objections to Judicial Watch’s court-ordered discovery plan. (The court, in ordering a discovery plan last month, ruled that the Clinton email system was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”)

Judicial Watch’s discovery will seek answers to: Whether Clinton intentionally attempted to evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by using a non-government email system;

whether the State Department’s efforts to settle this case beginning in late 2014 amounted to bad faith; and whether the State Department adequately searched for records responsive to Judicial Watch’s FOIA request. Discovery is scheduled to be completed within 120 days. The court will hold a post-discovery hearing to determine if Judicial Watch may also depose additional witnesses, including Clinton and her former Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills.

Judge Lamberth ordered written responses under oath to Judicial Watch’s questions from Obama administration senior officials Rice, Rhodes and Sullivan, and former FBI official Priestap. Rice and Rhodes will answer interrogatories under oath on the Benghazi scandal. Rejecting the State and Justice Department objections to discovery on the infamous Benghazi talking points, Judge Lamberth reiterated:

Poor Trey Gowdy tried so hard to keep all this covered up too

I appreciate their efforts and persistence, but this has taken years to get to this point and likely will take years from here. I’m wondering how much stuff will be left to discover? This is a rogue’s gallery we’re dealing with. They are experts at destroying evidence, and disappearing witnesses.

“There was a time when I thought that Tom Fitton would make an excellent choice for AG.”

I’ve thought the same, and still do, but he isn’t an attorney, just a kick-ass activist. I’m not sure if the AG must be an attorney. A SCOTUS doesn’t have to be an attorney, so...

All her emails were copied by Humas husband under the folder Insuranc.

I am 100 percent sure that the entire Wikileaks Clinton archive is downloaded and being weaponized to catch them in their lies. Getting the charge of purgery would be a minimum outcome for each one questioned.

Remember they I mb stalled a modem to access ** illegally ** the Internet to evade the Department Servers and Also personal laptops....
