Judge orders Hillary Clinton deposition in Judicial Watch lawsuit
The Hill ^ | 03 02 2020 | John Bowden

Posted on 03/02/2020 12:26:38 PM PST by yesthatjallen

A federal judge on Monday ordered former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to give a deposition under oath over a years-old lawsuit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch regarding her role in the response to the 2012 attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya.

U.S. District Court Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, said in court filings that written answers provided by Clinton to questions from Judicial Watch were "incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory, at best."

"As extensive as the existing record is, it does not sufficiently explain Secretary Clinton’s state of mind when she decided it would be an acceptable practice to set up and use a private server to conduct State Department business," Lamberth wrote in his order. "Simply put, her responses left many more questions than answers."

"Even years after the FBI investigation, the slow trickle of new emails has yet to be explained," the judge added, referring to the rate at which emails from Clinton's private email server have since been released.

The order is the first requiring Clinton to testify under oath in person on the subject of the 2012 attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi and the Obama administration's response at the time, when Clinton was head of the State Department.

Oh, I'm sure the passage of time has sharpened her memories of the events... [/eyeroll]

And to think "What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?" actually took place over 7 years ago~!

“I predict her answers in the deposition will also be “incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory, at best.””

It’s astonishing that James Comey, who wrote a book about his adventures, answered “I don’t remember” and “I don’t recall” a record number of times during his deposition. Hillary will do the same. And, you know what? There is nothing that can be done about it.

I’m thinking she’ll blow it off altogether.

What, the judge's head?

LOVE me some Judge Lamberth! A great jurist, no nonsense, nice guy. I just hope he starts eating better or he’s gonna have an MI.

I wonder if she’ll try to get out of this, I assume so. But will it work?

At least she will be under oath. She will slink and slither, she will perjure herself, that is certain.

Just like the human stain, Hillary. She probably wrote her incomplete and unhelpful answers with a cloth.

I think that will be futile. “I don’t recall” “I don’t recall” “My mind is jello.” So she’ll walk. End of story!

I read this morning a similar article about JW getting to question about Hillary’s home brewed server, but that story said they could NOT discuss Bengazi.

Then this story comes out, which has ONLY to do with Bengazi.

Looks like she is gonna have to lie under oath about both! Good day for JW!
