A federal judge said Wednesday he may order Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton to testify under oath about whether she used a private email server as secretary of state to evade public records disclosures.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan signed an order granting a request from the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch to question six current and former State Department staffers about the creation and purpose of the private email system. Those on the list were some of Clinton's closest aides during her tenure as the nation's top diplomat, including former chief of staff Cheryl D. Mills, deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin and undersecretary Patrick F. Kennedy.
Also set to testify is Bryan Pagliano, the agency employee who was tasked with setting up the clintonemail.com server located in the basement of the New York home Clinton shares with her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Pagliano has previously refused to testify before Congress, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

I’m just wondering if they can arrange it so that both Hillary and Trump can be deposed in their various federal cases at the same court house to make it easier for the media to cover the circus (plus making it a whole lot less trouble for the secret service in securing the locations...) Then again, might not be so easy since Hillary’s is a criminal case.
Quit talking about it and DO IT!!!
The benefit here is that she either has to take the 5th or lie.
Video of her taking the 5th is greater campaign fodder than proving her lies.
Why should he say anything? Let the info leak and the speculation grow. The public's imagination is a terrible weapon.
Either do it or don’t do it—Flapping your gums is useless, judge.
And she’ll tell the truth...just like Benghazi..
So, she’ll appear in like, 2018 or something? Plea deal, if any deal is needed, depending on what the meaning of is, is. Hey, it worked for schlick willie.
if it will hurt her chances in the generals yet, if it will make her non viable, no.
bernie is huge with the under 30 crowd and blacks will fall in line
She’s a Clinton, nothing will happen to her.
I’ll say what I did in the Trump University case.
Any lawyer worth his salt can get a continuance until after the election.
Definitely be interesting if she has to testify. Every word that comes out of her mouth becomes evidence and silence will serve as confirmation.
It’s a civil case. She can’t take the fifth. If she doesn’t answer the questions, it’s contempt of court.
Go DC Circuit.
You’re correct. No charges, no indictment, no trial and NO PRESIDENCY. I’ll let you figure out why.
Except the FBI doesn’t do civil cases, only criminal.
That won’t happen with Judge Sullivan. Her aides are to be interviewed within the next eight weeks. Hillary may or my not be called afterwards.
Judge Sullivan, PLEASE stay away from Fort Marcy Park!
Except is this the FOIA from Judicial Watch which is civil. The FBI hasn’t started the interview process ... yet. We’re looking at two different cases, one civil and one very, very. very criminal. The civil case is first.
Sneer at them, Hillary!
You’re better than them!
You’re better than everyone!
That’s why everyone loves you!
