Federal judge orders Hillary Clinton deposition to address private emails: 'Still more to learn'

A federal judge Monday granted a request from conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch to have former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sit for a sworn deposition to answer questions about her use of a private email server to conduct government business.

Clinton has argued that she has already answered questions about this and should not have to do so again -- the matter did not result in any charges for the then-presidential candidate in 2016 after a high-profile investigation -- but D.C. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth said in his ruling that her past responses left much to be desired.



"As extensive as the existing record is, it does not sufficiently explain Secretary Clinton’s state of mind when she decided it would be an acceptable practice to set up and use a private server to conduct State Department business," Lamberth said.

The judge went on to recognize that while Clinton responded to written questions in a separate case, "those responses were either incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory at best. Simply put her responses left many more questions than answers.” Lamberth said that using written questions this time “will only muddle any understanding of Secretary Clinton’s state of mind and fail to capture the full picture, thus delaying the final disposition of this case even further.”

Lamberth even gave some examples of lingering questions about Clinton's emails, such as how did she come to believe that her private emails would be preserved under normal State Department processes, who told her this and when, at what point did she learn department records management officials did not know about the server, "[a]nd why did she think that using a private server to conduct State Department business was permissible under the law in the first place?"

The ruling comes after Judicial Watch revealed at a December 2019 status conference that the FBI released "approximately thirty previously undisclosed Clinton emails," and that the State Department "failed to fully explain" where they came from.

The State Department has been pushing for the discovery phase of the case to come to a close, but Lamberth said he is not ready to do so, saying that "there is still more to learn."

Judicial Watch, which initiated this case in 2014, is looking for information regarding whether Clinton used her private email server to intentionally get around the Freedom of Information Act, whether the State Department acted in bad faith when they tried to settle the case years ago, and whether the department had adequately looked for records in response to Judicial Watch's initial FOIA request.

Given that the settlement attempts and records search took place after Clinton left office, the judge ruled that the deposition should focus on whether she intentionally tried to use her private server to evade FOIA and her understanding of the State Department's record management requirements.



Lamberth also granted Judicial Watch's request to depose former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills, IT specialist Paul Combetta who was involved in deleting Clinton's emails, as well as Brett Gittleson and Yvette Jacks, who were State Department officials familiar with Clinton's private email server.

Judicial Watch also wanted to question Clinton and Mills about government talking points in the aftermath of the 2012 Benghazi attack. Lamberth said that while they "cannot be questioned about the underlying actions taken after the Benghazi attack," they can face questions regarding "their knowledge of the existence of any emails, documents, or text messages related to the Benghazi attack."

Statute of limitations coming up?

I see what He is doing. Waiting for its mind to go a little further down the trail so it has trouble remembering the lies it told last time.

Tommy "Guns" Fitton is an American patriot. We are lucky to have Judicial Watch on our side. The DOJ, FBI, and the State Department sure as hell isn't on our side. The just want all this to go away with no repercussions to criminality.

Cant be true. Nothing is happening.

Well now, wont it be nice to get her to lie again, then whack her for not giving the correct answers which Trump and Mil Intel are privy to and sitting on.

They have the 33,000 lost emails.

"Well, Ms Clinton, how much did China pay you to give them access to all the top secret govt documents on your personal devices?"

I dont think there is a statute of limitations for setting up the murder of an Ambassador in Benghazi to keep him from revealing the deep state plan he stumbled onto to use uranium from U1 to arm small short range missiles developed in Iran with Obama's $150 billion and ship them into Chinese controlled US seaports in Chinese Sea Containers on foreign ships to release all over Ca and Florida.

Maybe there was an ulterior motive to having US forces stand down No one anticipated a few patriotic Americans from going in and getting killed in the "spontaneous event" with some handy mortars.

Hey, at this point in time....what does murder matter?

Remember name change to Port Canaveral? Just dirty weapon take out Atlanta, Miami, San Fran, LA,.....

And no one could prove where they came from. Even if the truth became known the NWO would be happy to have a nuclear war to reduce the population and save the earth from global warming.

You can bet the puppet masters and their families and C?A would be well protected in their underground caverns.

Lock her up !

Fact!

We can only hope and pray.

Snore! Wheeze! Fart!

I’m afraid if anything was going to happen we would know it by now. Hasbeen

Hildabeest loves ugly pantsuits. I hope to live long enough to see her in a pant suit in the color orange or black and white stripes.

We can only pray for her to be held accountable

The Witch deleted thousands of emails AFTER they were under subpoena! At the very least, she could have been charged on this slam dunk conviction!
You’ll forgive me if I don’t get too excited over any other possible charges being brought. SHE’S ABOVE THE LAW!
Mr President, AG Barr, please prove me wrong!

I think the "deleted" emails..... are still available....

Most likely but one of her associates took a hammer to the Hard Drives. That is obstruction of Justice and no one was ever charged. 2 tier Justice System.

Also keep in mind; she testified she never received or sent emails that were "classified" on that server. Comey testified, there WERE emails marked as "classified" on that server. So one of the liars, is still lying there.

If it happens, things just might get interesting; she needs to pay in full far a lot of crimes that she committed.

As well as for Benghazi.

I will continue to stay optimistic. Only because Trump will have much more flexibility after the elections.
