(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ruled that within 30 days Hillary Clinton must answer under oath two additional questions about her controversial email system.
In 2016, Clinton was required to submit under oath written answers to Judicial Watchs questions. Clinton objected to and refused to answer questions about the creation of her email system; her decision to use the system despite warnings from State Department cybersecurity officials; and the basis for her claim that the State Department had 90-95% of her emails.
After a lengthy hearing yesterday Judge Sullivan ruled that Clinton must address two questions that she refused to answer under-oath.
Judge Sullivan read his opinion from the bench, deciding that the question about the creation of the email system was within the scope of discovery. Judge Sullivan rejected Clintons assertion of attorney-client privilege on the question about the emails in the States system.
The court refused Judicial Watchs and medias requests to unseal the deposition videos of Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and other Clinton State Department officials. And it upheld Clintons objections to answering a question about why she refused to stop using her Blackberry despite warnings from State Department security personnel. Justice Department lawyers for the State Department defended Clintons refusal to answer certain questions and argued for the continued secrecy of the deposition videos.
This hearing and court ruling is the latest development in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, former deputy chief of staff to Clinton. The lawsuit, which seeks records regarding the authorization for Abedin to engage in outside employment while employed by the Department of State, was reopened because of revelations about the clintonemail.com system ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)). The court also granted discovery to Judicial Watch to help determine if and how Clintons email system thwarted FOIA.
A federal court ordered Hillary Clinton to answer more questions about her illicit email system which is good news, said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. It is shameful that Judicial Watch attorneys must continue to battle the State and Justice Departments, which still defend Hillary Clinton, for basic answers to our questions about Clintons email misconduct.
JW does great work. Too bad HRC will never give up info. DOJ should be working on these issues but has refused to act. Mueller now blocking instead of Sessions.
ANNNNNDDDDDDD nothing will become of it.
We will soon see if Hillary is as slick as Slick.
“It depends on what the definition of email is ... is.”
“Under Oath” means squat to HR Clinton.

“I don’t recall”
I dont remember x 5k times
Yep, I’m pretty sure Hillary is every bit as good a liar as Bill even though she’s dumber.
Your assessment of her capabilities is very generous! ;-)
I can’t remember
My brain’s in a blender
It’s Jell-O
Jell-O
Hillary could care less what the judge ordered. She has been allowed to put herself above the law and knows that she is unaccountable to anyone.
We have a two tiered legal system in this country: one for the elites and another for the rest of us.
The famous Clintoon memory failures will be on full display.

She doesn’t really need to lie. All she needs to do is refuse to answer any questions. Nothing will ever happen to her. Even if she did admit gthe truth there is no way she will ever be punished.
That sums Hillary up in a few words better than any others I’ve seen. :^)
I doubt a full firing squad with fingers on the triggers all pointed at her would get her to talk.
“Justice Department lawyers for the State Department defended Clintons refusal to answer certain questions and argued for the continued secrecy of the deposition videos...”
Nice to know DOJ is on the criminal’s side.
Answers to the questions:
Question 1, I do not recall
Question 2, I do not recall
