BREAKING: Judge Orders State Dept To Release Hillary’s Security Training Records, Or Be Deposed
Daily Caller ^ | 8/31/16 | Richard Pollock

Posted on 08/31/2016 4:17:53 PM PDT by Nachum

A federal judge ordered the Department of State Wednesday to produce for The Daily Caller News Foundation the security training records of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aide Huma Abedin within two weeks, or face direct deposition of multiple government officials.

“I’m sure you can appreciate Mr. Lee, there is a certain time sensitivity on this issue,” U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Leon told Department of Justice Attorney Jason Lee, representing the State Department. “We’re looking down the barrel of a presidential election from now in two months.”

Leon said TheDCNF is, “trying to get to the bottom of this, to what extent Secretary Clinton and probably her immediate staff received training. They’re trying to figure out was the training in writing or orally, (and) how was it done.”

“Let me put it to you this way: You need to discuss with your client whether it would be better to give them the answers to these questions or to have depositions to depose those at the State Department,” Leon said.

TheDCNF filed the lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act last November, after the State Department refused to turn over all records of the security training for Clinton and her top aides.

The former Sociopath of State and her administration should be in federal prison.

The lack of training may help explain why Clinton saw no problem with setting up a private server in her New York home to process her private email account.

Establishing plausible deniability.

This has always been out there as low hanging fruit. She either went to the class or she didnt. When she left the State Dept she HAD to sign a statement saying she had taken the class. By lying she has committed a federal felony.

I'm still at a loss as to why the mission of the Department of State seems to be protecting the political interests of an ex-Secretary, rather than providing accountability to the American people who employ them?

It's very simple. Federal government Departments work for the Democrat party - not the American people. I.e., they've become politicized. 9 of 13 of our Federal Appellate courts have been politicized. The major news outlets save FOXNEWS, have been politicized. Half of the SCOTUS have been politicized.

While Democrats are doing whatever it takes to win, the Republican party is playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules.

This is going to go one of two ways, 1. the documents will have been accidently destroyed or 2. The ink won’t be dry.

They should force bench warrants to anyone involved so that they can’t “make” a story...

Jolla — What if Hillary Clinton does win the election in November. Then, sometime between November and January, Hillary will be indicted. The IRS is now investigating the Clinton Foundation and the whole e-mail thing isn’t over yet.

Once under indictment, she won’t be able to assume the Office of the President in January. Tim Kaine, who will not actually be the Vice President because neither he nor Hillary has been inaugurated, cannot assume the Presidency.

The Speaker of the House can’t move up to it because there is already a sitting President and Vice President. So President Obama, in an Executive Order citing “emergency situation,” gives himself another four years in office is the only way possible.

Obama has been planning this for a while now, knowing he has enough on Hillary to indict her. Had the Attorney General indicted her based on evidence from the FBI this plan wouldn’t have worked because the DNC would have quickly come up with another candidate.

If you think about it, it’s not that outrageous. Many people on the left, including the President, want Obama to stay another four years. The law prohibits him from being re-elected, so the only way he can do it is by declaring martial law and suspending the election (which would be a very negative thing for the country) or to declare himself still President because the elected candidate cannot assume her duties.

The latter makes more sense and is actually more feasible. And since it’s never been done before, it would set a precedent that would be difficult to challenge.

Of course, if Trump wins the election none of this is going to happen. But what if Clinton wins? Four more years of Obama and a mostly useless Republican House and Senate would give Obama the time he needs to continue destroying changing the country to fit his stated goals.

Further info:

Eligibility for access to classified information, commonly known as a security clearance, is granted only to those for whom an appropriate personnel security background investigation has been completed. The Bureau of Human Resources determines if a Department of State position requires a security clearance based on the duties and responsibilities of the position. If the position requires access to classified information, the position will be given an appropriate security classification. You’ll notice it is determined by position, not by the person as this is a state department determination, not constitutional. She had to have paperwork on her or she couldn’t be given access to sensitive material. So, there has to be paperwork on her.

IMO the Beast didn't have the training and it is an excuse for her to point fingers at career State Dept employees for not doing their jobs. And another excuse for Comey to say the Beast is too dumb to know it was a requirement hence there was no intent.

Anybody else notice how the enemedia/democrat meme of how qualified for President Hillary is because of her tenure as Secretary of State has completely fallen off the map?

I wonder why that is? You know, shouldn’t she be tooting her own horn about all of that EXPERIENCE she has as SecState, which qualifies her to be President?

‘I’m still at a loss as to why the mission of the Department of State seems to be protecting the political interests of an ex-Secretary, rather than providing accountability to the American people who employ them?’

we should be putting pressure on J F’n Kerry who can then prove himself to be ‘presidential’ and ‘transparent’....
what a maroon...
