Above the Law? Hillary Clinton Refuses to Get Served Tulsi Gabbard's $50M Lawsuit BY TYLER O'NEIL JANUARY 30, 2020.

Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), a Democratic presidential candidate, sued former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for defamation, requesting $50 million in damages. Yet Clinton has twice refused to accept the lawsuit, trying to weasel her way out of a legal battle. Gabbard's attorney, Brian Dunne, told The New York Post that Clinton's staff twice snubbed a process server attempting to deliver the defamation lawsuit. "I find it rather unbelievable that Hillary Clinton is so intimidated by Tulsi Gabbard that she wont accept service of process," Dunne told The Post. "But I guess here we are." The process server first attempted to serve Hillary at the Clintons' house in Chappaqua, N.Y., on Tuesday afternoon, but Secret Service agents turned the server away. The agents directed the server to the Clintons' lawyer, David Kendall. Yet when the server reached Kendall's offices at the Washington, D.C., firm Williams & Connolly, the lawyer said he was unable to accept service on Clinton's behalf. Gabbard joined the Hawaii National Guard in 2003 and served in Iraq and Kuwait. She continues to serve as a major in the National Guard. Yet Clinton called her a "Russian asset" and has refused to retract the statement. Critics have often claimed Clinton sees herself as above the law, as demonstrated by her decision to house official State Department emails on her private home-brew server. Yet this attempt to block Tulsi Gabbard's lawsuit just seems petty. Tyler O'Neil is the author of Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Watch your back Gabby. Evil lurks with these people.
Hillary's been shafted by everybody but Hunter Biden.
Take it to Chappaqua and whoever is there, hand it to them. Secret Service or whoever.
Or wrap it under the label on a bottle of vodka.
Thank you. I was feeling a little claustrophobic.
An attorney has to be authorized by the client to accept service (at least here in Missouri they do, and I suspect it’s that way everywhere).
Not in Texas. An attorney that refuses service on behalf of their client is subject to a filing to the state bar. At least that was the way it was a few years ago if I’m not mistaken. You can’t just dodge service just because you don’t want to get served.
