Clinton not to be 'burdened with oath or appearance' - will testify in writing on secret email account
 [Wash Times] Hillary Clinton will have to give testimony about her secret email server and account, but it will be in writing rather than in person, a federal judge ruled Friday, delivering a partial victory to the Democratic presidential candidate.Mrs. Clinton will have until the middle of November -- after the election -- to answer those questions, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ruled. But the State Department must quickly process and release any of the emails the FBI recovered from Mrs. Clinton’s accounts that are being sought in the open-records lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch. Judge Sullivan said those must be released by Sept. 30. The judge said Mrs. Clinton has "unique first-hand knowledge" of why she refused to use the department’s normal email and instead set up a system that shielded her communications from public view for years. But the judge said putting a former Cabinet secretary under oath in person was too burdensome, when written questions would suffice -- and he insisted Judicial Watch be careful about how far it goes. A warning to Judicial Watch from the bench? Please explain. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-08-20 |
