State Department: Don’t Ask Hillary Aides About Classified Info in Lawsuit
Lawyers for the State Department want to limit the types of questions that a watchdog group can ask former aides to Hillary Clinton, and potentially the former secretary of state herself, about her creation and use of a private email system while she was in office.
The department asked a federal judge Tuesday night to grant “limited discovery” to Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group that wants to depose some of Clinton’s closest associates and staffers.
The lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch is one of dozens by activists and journalists seeking information about Clinton’s private email system, which was run out of a “homebrew” server in her house in New York. It’s unusual, however, in that it’s only one of two cases in which a federal judge has agreed to allow discovery, including potential examination of government documents and interviews with current or former officials.
This is kinda what happens when you set up a private server in an attempt to avoid the FOIA and what happens when the administration of the man who promised the most transparent administration evuh is found GUILTY of illegally failing to comply with the FOIA a whopping, record-setting 70% of the time.
