Judge tells Hillary she has until TUESDAY to explain why she shouldn't have to testify....
The London Daily Mail ^ | July 11, 2016 | Nikki Schwab, US Political Reporter

Like a game of whack-a-mole, Hillary Clinton's secret email server scandal continues this week as the former secretary of state has just one more day to explain to a federal court why she shouldn't have to testify under oath about the system.

On Friday, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch submitted a request for permission to depose Clinton, along with two other current and former government officials, as part of the ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit looking into aide Huma Abedin's special employment arrangement with the State Department.

'As the primary driving force behind and principal user of the clintonemail.com system, however, Secretary Clinton’s testimony is crucial to understanding how and why the system was created and operated,' the brief argued, calling Clinton a 'indispensable witness.'

The court gave Clinton, along with two other officials – Clarence Finney and John Bentel – until Tuesday to respond....

The best possible thing will be to get her under oath and in open court

To what end?

To hear...
"I can't recall...?"
"I don't remember...?"
"I don't have a clear recollection...?"
"I don't know...?"
"I was not a party to that?"
"My staff dealt with that...?"
"That was not my staff's responsibility...?"

"It was not my job...?"

And five permutations of each of those statements?

500 to 600 times?

I suppose that on a certain level that could serve as entertainment, if nothing else.

Maybe she can even give us that second-grader with cake frosting all over his face 'who me?' wide eyed look.

The best possible scenario will be video of her taking the 5th.

She won't do that. Never ever! It would mean the end of her political career. Instead she will claim as usual, 'I don't recall' 'I don't know' 'someone else's fault' etc.

Emails show Huma's ties to Clinton-connected private consulting firm
Politico ^ | 09/23/15 | RACHAEL BADE / FR Posted by Rabin

A spring 2012 email to Hillary’s top State Dept conduit, Huma Abedin indicated she needed Bill's presidential squeeze to get hired by Bill's buddy, Doug Band, at global financial powerhouse, Teneo.

(NOTE: Huma was being paid as (1) an adviser to the Clinton Foundation, (2) her private clients, (3) Teneo, and, ()also formed her private company Zain Endeavors.)

Abedin signed on to Teneo's employ while still a Hillary employee, a multi-employment configuration that is now being examined by congressional investigators.

Abedin’s status as a “special” government employee collecting several paychecks (NOTE: Abedin is listed as a "State Dept contractor") has been questioned by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Chuck Grassley who has raised concerns about Abedin's overlapping duties and whether they posed potential conflicts of interest.

Grassley has postulated that State Dept officials may have been feeding Abedin political intelligence not knowing she was employed elsewhere and might be selling official info to others.

Abedin’s supervisors at State and that she did nothing wrong. (Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ... ====================================================

REFERENCE

Teneo's Doug Band has a long history w/ the Clintons.

For all of its massive donations, the Clinton Foundation had become a sprawling concern, inadequately supervised by a rotating board of about 1000 old Clinton hands, threatened by conflicts of interest. It ran multimillion-dollar deficits for several years, despite vast amounts of money flowing in.

And concern was rising inside and outside the organization about Douglas J. Band, a one-time personal assistant to Clinton who had started a lucrative corporate consulting firm — which Clinton joined as a paid adviser — while overseeing the Clinton Global Initiative, the foundation’s glitzy annual gathering of chief executives, heads of state, and celebrities.

Doug Band then formed global financial powerhouse--Teneo--which sold access to the Clintons.

The Clinton money-grubbing apparat was well-represented. Huma Abedin worked for Teneo at the same time she worked for SoS Hillary. Bill Clinton also rec/d mega consulting money from Band/s Teneo.

We are continually told she’s the smartest woman in the world. I haven’t seen any evidence of that. comey’s comments about thinking their was no criminal intent because he didn’t think Hillary and her dept had the capacity to understand classified markings is priceless.

We need to know how many US govt checks these hydra-headed monsters working for Hillary are cashing......they all seem to have money galore for their side interests.

<><> We need to find out about Huma's "Zain Endeavors" formed while she was a State Dept "contractor" working several jobs.

<><>Cheryl Mills formed BlackIvy---a development business in Africa----while working at State. Where did she get the zillions needed to develop land and businesses?

<><> The Clinton Foundation got a cut of every US govt giveaway Hillary could get her hands on.

Did these people ever do anything for the taxpayers paying their saaries and perks?

============================================

Sen Charles Grassley's inquiry to State Dept investigator recently revealed that Huma Abedin improperly collected some $14,000 taxpayer dollars. Sen Grassley also inquired about Abedin's unusual employment status---whether US conflict-of-interest laws were violated when Hillary gave Abedin special employment status in which Abedin worked simultaneously for: <><> (1) the State Department, <><> (2) the Clinton Foundation, <><> (3) as a private consultant, <><> (4) consulted Teneo, a global financial firm w/ Bill Clinton a member of the board. <><> formed her private company "Zain Endeavors,LLC" 12 days before she exited State.

=========================================

Taxpayers should demand to be informed if Huma, Mills, and other Clinton cronies are STILL listed as State Dept employees---perhaps as contractors---and are still receiving classified mail and govt paychecks.

Evidence indicates Hillary and aides did not sign exit forms. Signing the exit form would have cutoff access to State Dept info......info the Clintons rely on to cash-in.

Note Brian Pagliano---Hillary's personal IT---left her employ then surfaced on the public payroll as a State Dept contractor.

======================================

Taxpayers demand to know who else among the Clinton cronies are cashing US govt paychecks It's an old bureaucratic trick for a politician to hand-pick people and put them on the public payroll long after you think they're gone......perhaps as State Dept "contractors."

<><> Hillary?

<><> Bill Clinton?

<><> Sid Blumenthal?

<><> Huma Abedin,

<><> Huma's husband?

<><> Cheryl Mills?

<><> Cheryl mills' live-in David Domenici?

<><> Chelsea Clinton?

<><> Chelsea's husband?

========================================

CONTACT CONGRESS HERE: http://www.contactingthecongress.org/
Demand Congress send you all available information on individuals connected to Hillary still cashing US govt paychecks. In light of the $6 billion missing from the contractor fund when Hillary exited, taxpayers demand to know who is listed as a State Dept contractor.

JW has not always been talked about favorably here. Seems to me that Trey Gowdy has taken over ownership of the ‘useless’ title.

I expect that Judge Sullivan will receive a casual friendly meeting with Bill Clinton to discuss golf games and grandchildren very soon.

I’m skeptical JW is going to get more from interviewing her but thank God they are trying.

A conservative watchdog group on Friday asked a federal court to interview Hillary Clinton under oath about her email setup, the second such request.

Judicial Watch told the court that seven aides it has already interviewed did not satisfy its questions about the State Department’s system for complying with requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Now, Clinton herself would need to be deposed to discuss the private email setup she used while secretary of State and whether it skirted transparency laws, the group claimed.

The woman cannot say the truth about anything. To her there is no such thing as the truth only what she cares to say at that moment. Five minutes later she will say the opposite. So by putting her under oath everybody knows that she will immeeiately perjure herself. So they avoid doing that at all costs. Also she could burn herself if she touches a Bible when she swears to tell the truth.

Knowing it’s Clintonemail.com you’d think it would be very easy to hack for a computer expert. I wish someone would hack it and start sending out incriminating emails. If it doesn’t still exist, create one.
