Judicial Watch Begins Court-Ordered Discovery On HILLARY CLINTON

I’ve stopped holding my breath on Hillary Clinton EVER facing any sort of consequence for any of what she’s done…

But I’ve got to admit I find this rather intriguing:

IT HAS BEGUN: @JudicialWatch has begun court-ordered discovery on Clinton emails/Benghazi scandal. Mrs. Clinton’s lawyer will testify under oath. Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes will have to answer written questions under oath on Benghazi. https://t.co/kka1QCEWtG … pic.twitter.com/JHh90vs7qT

HMMM… yes. They’ve piqued my interest.

According to Judicial Watch’s press release:

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.

VEEEEEERY INTERESTING, INDEED.
