In testimony Friday that lasted seven hours, three attorneys representing Mills and four from the Justice Department interrupted Judicial Watch attorneys approximately 250 times, shouting objection to argue why Mills should not answer the question posed.

The articles I read mentioned the first server for Bill was the infamous bathroom server that was protected from intrusion by the SS detail. That was also the one Hillary used initially as SoS.
Justice Department Attorney - Objection!
Judicial Watch Attorney - Ok, well did you work at the Department of State>
Justice Department Attorney - Objection!
Judicial Watch Attorney - Well let's try this one, are you an aide of Hillary Clinton?
Justice Department Attorney - Objection!
Judicial Watch Attorney - Well I think there is a pattern here, is there any question you are willing to answer Ms. Mills?
Justice Department Attorney - Objection!
Judicial Watch Attorney - Then I do not see a reason to continue, thank you for coming Ms. Mills.
Justice Department Attorney - Objection!
Imagine ... the media's reaction ... if this was a top aide to George W. Booooshhhh ....
This is the “Bell Curve” on display.
Please folks, do not get your shorts in a wad over this Kabuki Theater.
While Judicial Watch may be serious about exposing and cleansing the Clinton corruption, they are in a very small minority. The entire Washington establishment is doing everything in their power to shield the Clintons. Shielding the Clintons while, getting themselves reelected of course. When shielding the Clintons and getting reelected conflict, most will accept the payoff.
hillary did this back when she had all those gates when she was first lady ..she couldnt remember...the liar
And if CONGRESS was not Impotent, weak, and CORRUPT to the CORE, this could have been handled a long time ago
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
Ridicule. Calls for arrests from top to bottom. The first half dozen pages of the NYT dedicated to it 24/7.
How in hell does she walk in those boats. The look like a size 13!
That is a really, really, really good question. I assume the answer was to protect Hillary. But who knows.
Perhaps someone who has taken the time to read through the transcript can tell us whose side the DOJ lawyer was on or if he/she was just an "innocent" spectator.
To officially further ridicule and ignore the US Constitution and mock justice.
Should O.J. Mills screw up and mistakenly tell just a single truth, the entire stack of treasonous, perjurious, obstructionist "corpsemen" could be at risk.
To the left facing inquisition not remembering something makes it cease to exist. It is more than just covering up.
Mills has to claim a poor memory or ability to “recollect!”
She is doing so to save her bloody ass. Mills is aware and remembers well what happens to those who cross the Clinton Crime Syndicate. Her life is always at stake.
What's a goose got to do with it?
Selling out both the Xlinton Crime Syndicate and Criminal Xbamster Syndicate is not an option for her. I'm surprised she's remembered her own name during this deposition.
Funny how Dems are experts at "disremembering" any of their blatant selling out of America or the Constitution.
The Clinton gang perfected this strategy of avoiding truthful answers during Clinton’s testimony under oath during the 90s. Holder used it during his testimony before Congress.
She used “I have no specific recollection of that [conversation, document, email. etc.] or some variation just so it wouldn’t accumulate and create derision over 200 times.
I predicted this would happen months ago. No crystal ball, it’s what they use to avoid taking the 5th which looks bad.
You don't understand!
TrumpyMcMeanpants said MEAN things to an ABSleaze News "reporter"!
That's MUCH more important than exploring the corruption of the Clinton Grift Crew.
