Let the evil queen come forth from her fortress and let justice be done on her.

A Florida judge has set a trial date in the racketeering case against the Clinton Foundation and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Judge Donald Middlebrooks of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida ordered the racketeering, influenced and corrupt organizations, or RICO, case to head to trial January 20, 2016.
The order, entered Friday and obtained by the Washington Examiner, came days after Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch filed a lengthy civil complaint against the Clintons and their foundation in the same court.
While the Clinton legal team could settle the case or enter a variety of motions in an effort to derail the lawsuit before the trial, the judge's swift decision means the matter could go to court before the Feb. 1 Iowa caucus and Feb. 9 New Hampshire primary.
Klayman, who has filed dozens of lawsuits against the Clintons and other prominent politicians, suggested the former first couple and their family philanthropy used their political clout to drum up foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and lavish diplomatic favors for contributors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
Klayman also asked the judge to order a "neutral forensic expert ... to take custody and control of the private email server and reconstruct and preserve the official U.S. Government records relating to the conduct of U.S. foreign policy during Defendant Secretary Clinton's term as Secretary of State."
Judge Middlebrooks has not yet ruled on Klayman's request that the court seize Hillary Clinton's server.
The court documents also state the Clinton Foundation and the former first couple must discuss the Cameras in the Courtroom pilot project, an initiative in the Southern District of Florida aimed at incorporating video recordings into civil cases.
"I am pleased that the Court has set this case for early jury trial," Klayman told the Examiner. "This is a matter of extreme national importance and before now, for decades, the Clintons have not had to answer to a jury for their alleged crimes. Now, justice will be done."
The Clinton Foundation declined a request for comment Friday.
Wake me when this bitch is in jail.
Let the evil queen come forth from her fortress and let justice be done on her.
I’ll pic.
Rush was right - no one wants to see her age. Recent pics look like she has had work done. Hardly any wrinkles.
Exactly.
The message: You mess with us, we’ll take you all out.
Old pic, not I’ll pic.
Nice touch. Her “Highness” transmogrified to her “Heinous.” If only the RATS and the dumb voters realized it.
It's going to be great hearing the Clinton's testify.
Hillary: "I don't recall."
Chelsea: "Duh."
Bill: "I don't know anything. Hillary was in charge of the Foundation."
Neither can I. It's as if...ah never mind.
It’s great to see their past catching up with them. Finally.
If nothing better than Klayman is behind this, maybe they’re singing “Those Were The Days.”
When do people start going to jail?

“One possible problem?
Donald M. Middlebrooks - United States district court judge appointed by Bill Clinton”
Well, he is the Judge that did schedule the case for trial, so he has a certain amount of cajones just to do that.
Maybe not. Why set a trial date? Judge Middlebrooks could have thrown the whole thing out.
I guess we’ve just gotta hope the judge has more character and integrity than the sleazebag who appointed him.
I just hope and pray that he doesn’t have to recuse himself!
