Hillary Clinton has now twice snubbed a process server attempting to deliver the defamation lawsuit filed against her by Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, according to Gabbards attorney.
I find it rather unbelievable that Hillary Clinton is so intimidated by Tulsi Gabbard that she wont accept service of process, the congresswomans attorney, Brian Dunne, told The Post. But I guess here we are.
Dunne said their process server first attempted to effect service at Clintons house in Chappaqua on Tuesday afternoon but was turned away by Secret Service agents.
The agents directed the server to Clintons lawyer, David Kendall, who on Wednesday claimed at his Washington, DC, firm, Williams & Connolly, that he was unable to accept service on Clintons behalf, said Dunne.

This means Tulsi Gabbard wins in court by default. Now to collect the money.
Any citizen can be a process server, and service can be by mail, as long as the person serving or mailing the papers isn’t party to the lawsuit and signs a sworn affidavit.
I don’t understand how Hillary’s lawyers can refuse service. Even if they refuse to sign a return mal receipt, the process server can nail the attorney in person.
