U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordered the discovery after a lawsuit was brought by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch, which is seeking to uncover whether the Benghazi scandal was one reason for keeping Mrs. Clintons email secret.
The conservative group announced Wednesday that Justin Cooper, a former Clinton Foundation adviser who played a role in setting up and administering the former secretary of states unauthorized private email server, will answer questions under oath and in-person on Thursday.

Priestap testified in a separate lawsuit that Clinton was the subject of a grand jury investigation related to her BlackBerry email accounts.
Susan Rice , President Obamas former UN ambassador who appeared on Sunday television news shows following the Benghazi attacks, blaming a hateful video . Rice was also Obamas national security advisor involved in the unmasking the identities of senior Trump officials caught up in the surveillance of foreign targets.
Ben Rhodes , an Obama-era White House deputy strategic communications adviser who attempted to orchestrate a campaign to reinforce Obama and to portray the Benghazi consulate terrorist attack as being rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy.
This is the guy who took the hammer to Hillary’s old Blackberry devices. He previously testified to the House Oversight Committee back in 2016.
ping for later.
The next person who will mysteriously die.
“She goes to trial or NOBODY in this country is obligated to follow ANY law or regulation.”
That’s where we are heading. A variation to your statement is, I don’t recognize your authority.
*BUMP* :)
Six plus years later.
Judicial Watch is one of the few organizations that I donate to...and really feel that I get my moneys worth.
Tom Finton should be picked by Barr to be his DAG, and all of DC would run for the tall grass. Finton would prosecute everybody that he could find, he'd have two or three dozen grand juries, and would work them in shifts, 24/7.
You'd have to set up a spread sheet on your computer to track the convictions.
until and unless these criminals are held accountable, the DOJ, FBI, IRS, etc. will ALWAYS be held in contempt of the American people.
These gubmint agencies were politicized by the magic negro.
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
Looks like more pings acomin’.
Thanks for the ping.
This should wrap up just after HRC assumes room temperature.
