Federal Court Orders Discovery for JW - Clinton Email, Benghazi Obama-Clinton Officials

Federal Court Orders Discovery on Clinton Email, Benghazi Scandal: Top Obama-Clinton Officials, Susan Rice and Ben Rhodes to Respond to Judicial Watch Questions Under Oath

(Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch announced today that United States District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled that discovery can begin in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides will now be deposed under oath. Senior officials — including Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes, Jacob Sullivan, and FBI official E.W. Priestap — will now have to answer Judicial Watch’s written questions under oath. The court rejected the DOJ and State Department’s objections to Judicial Watch’s court-ordered discovery plan. (The court, in ordering a discovery plan last month, ruled that the Clinton email system was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”)

Judicial Watch’s discovery will seek answers to:

Whether Clinton intentionally attempted to evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by using a non-government email system;
whether the State Department’s efforts to settle this case beginning in late 2014 amounted to bad faith; and
whether the State Department adequately searched for records responsive to Judicial Watch’s FOIA request.

Discovery is scheduled to be completed within 120 days. The court will hold a post-discovery hearing to determine if Judicial Watch may also depose additional witnesses, including Clinton and her former Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills.

Looks like Clinton and her criminal syndicate just cant seem to catch a break. The attempt by Clinton's lawyers to get the discovery quashed has failed, again. This time around the Judge granted discovery to several Obama officials, including Susan Rice, Eric Boswell, Justin Cooper, Clarence Finney, Heather Samuelson, Jacob Sullivan etc etc etc...

Also -

Judicial Watch was also granted interrogatories on whether the State Department adequately searched for responsive records, as well as several document requests.

“In a major victory for accountability, Judge Lamberth today authorized Judicial Watch to take discovery on whether the Clinton email system evaded FOIA and whether the Benghazi scandal was one reason for keeping Mrs. Clinton’s email secret,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Today, Judicial Watch issued document requests and other discovery to the State Department about the Clinton email scandal. Next up, we will begin questioning key witnesses under oath.”

Now its coming from all angles and I dont think these people are going to be able to escape whats coming.

Won't be holding my breath for anything of substance to come of this for any Obama officials or Clinton cronies. Sorry, wishful thinking in terms of justice for these folks has gone out the window. Will still try to follow the story for updates but not optimistic whatsoever (sorry to be such a downer, but can you blame me after what we have witnessed this past 7-8 years during and after the Obama admin?)

The government sure wont pursue this scandal. It's a shame independent private investigators have to do the work our elected representatives are required by law to do and should have already done. You think our government is and works for the people? Sheat! Corruption is rampant.

She is an ex-presidents wife. Our judicial system will just deny that anything criminal happened, no matter what. It is a waste of time going after her or her department. Same would go for any ex president or their spouse unless they are divorced..

I predict they will lie their asses off, just like they do any other time.

I agree. being under oath means nothing to them. they will lie, and not even care.......they know the media and the "justice" system will protect them.

you may be correct, but why should this be the case? If she violated the law, she should be held accountable just like the rest of us, full stop.

That is just the way it is. It is not right, but things do not always go the right way.

These are great times to be alive. Imagine telling yourself 6-8 years ago that any of this would even be a possibility.

Quick... look over there!!

I wonder if they'll get to speak with Paul 'Suck on a Beretta' Combetta. I think he still has a lot to share with everyone.

I genuinely feel as though they've successfully run the 'muh Russia' interference long enough to avoid the storm. Which would be an enormous shame.

I feel like Justice was a set of extended versions of an old Richard Prior joke. Just us forced to follow the law, not them. Of course RP was saying just black folk but it is anybody not an Oligarch with get out jail free cards and extra life tokens.

Still hoping that evidence is gonna magically appear huh?

Because eleven hearings and years of investigations wasn't enough?

And they say what is happening to trump is a witch hunt.... this is why I come on here less and less.

People have to remember that leaders have not been held accountable for far worse.

Bush jr and co haven’t been held responsible for torture, literally a war crime, nor lies that led us to an illegal war in Iraq.

What makes people think, then, that the Clintons will be held accountable for emails?

a reply to: Sillyolme

No.

After the bull# you all pulled on Trump, your people should never have peace again.

Just wait until, if by some miracle, another Dem is elected President (I support any measure to prevent that, however). We will run them through the mud like the dog excrement they are.

The "people" named above should be locked up and the key thrown away. They should do it under national security/military grounds if necessary. We should take a page from your book: the ends justify the means, however stupid, convoluted, paranoid, ridiculous, low-IQ and wrong-headed that end is. But none of that matters, we know she is guilty so however long we have to investigate (much like your insane Russian paranoid delusions) is fully justified. She's already guilty. Convicted. Sentenced. Finding the "evidence" (however circumstantial) is only a matter of time.

Hillary Clinton is an anti-American # who deserves to fry for its crimes against this great nation. "people" like that have made this country sicker than it has ever been, including during the civil war. This is the absolute worst emergency that has ever faced our country, and it has come within from the treasonous despicable left precisely as my forefathers warned it would (I say "my" vs. "our" because I don't consider a leftist to be a true American)

Wish I could say what I was really thinking, although personal attacks/dressing downs aren't appropriate for this venue. Shame. Just know I'll be cheering this on every step of the way, thanks to you all's deluded Russia paranoid fake-ass performance. No. Matter. What.

Ironic, coming from a paranoid Russia-gate conspiracy theorist who has been wrong with every single prediction made.

I have a running count of the times your "predictions" have been wrong.

Will be making an entire thread on the matter soon. Stand by.
