A federal judge has ordered former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to sit for a sworn deposition for the first time in connection with her use of a private email account during her State Department tenure.

____
U.S. District Court Royce Lamberth issued the order Monday in connection with a five-and-a-half-year-old Freedom of Information Act lawsuit the conservative group Judicial Watch filed seeking emails related to the deadly 2012 attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya.

____
"Even years after the FBI investigation, the slow trickle of new emails has yet to be explained," Lamberth wrote. He blasted Clinton's prior answers given in response to another judge's order as "incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory, at best."

____
...The judge also approved a subpoena to Google for any Clinton emails it may possess.

the judge.

11. ?????

Where do you get that? He’s 76 years old and is a Reagan appointee. I doubt trump would appoint a 70 year old.

2. She testified for 11 hours

Either charge her with a crime or stop harassing her. There should be laws preventing the government from forever badgering people with investigations if they never intend to charge them. People have a right to have their name officially “cleared”.

3. Jeeeeeeeezus K. Riiiiiiiiiiist.

[treestar]

17. similar sentiments here

this is just absurd!

[Sparkly]

4. What the heck are they hoping to find?!?

It's bonkers.

[lapucelle]

13. They want her name in the news cycle during the election.

Red meat for the base.

It's pathetic.

5. Wow.

That judge is making up shit. Guess he watches Hannity and listens to Rush. What an idiot.


Check his off-shore accounts.

Judicial Watch is why dozens of Clinton White House staffers left public service with gigantic legal fees.

[MANative]

6. She should follow the Trump playbook and just tell them to fuck off. nt

[choie]

7. so she has to sit for a deposition...

but the House can't sue to force McGahn to comply with a subpoena....of course!

[Nikki28]

8. even

more reason to work hard to bring order back to this country and back to our democracy and put the dictators to rest and get rid of all unqualified judges by impeachment if we get the Senate and keep the house. If we can get both of these institutions since it was stolen in 2018, we will have the pig out of the white house.

9. ....

Give it a rest, already. When will they just let her live? I don't know how she keeps her sanity with all of these constant attacks.

[spanone]

10. But it would have taken a year to get a ruling on any of trump's buddies...

Okay.

[world wide wally]

12. Trump judges at work

[DFW]

16. Lamberth was appointed by Reagan

He is known, curiously enough, for siding with Native Americans and trashing government agencies for being racist--not what one immediately thinks of when considering a 70-something Reagan appointee. I wonder what got up his ass to hand down this ruling?

[world wide wally]

18. My guess is Trump

[RT Atlanta]

14. dont show up

that is the precedent donnie-t has set for responding to subpoenas

[superpatriotman]

15. Tell them to Fuck Off

There is no law anymore.

[SharonClark]

19. Executive privilege?

[smirkymonkey]

20. She should just tell them to go piss up a rope.

It's OVER. She was cleared. Let it fucking go! She is a private citizen and is not running for any office. Besides, if republicans don't have to show up when subpoenaed, then why should she? There is no more rule of law anymore, thanks to them.

What is this obsession they have with her? Talk about beating a dead horse!
