Judge threatens subpoena against Clinton over emails

A federal judge warned Tuesday that he may have to subpoena former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s entire secret email account, saying he has real questions about whether the Obama administration gave her special treatment.

In the interim, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said he was granting discovery to Judicial Watch, a public interest law firm who’s sued to get a look at the emails, meaning the group will be able to demand the State Department explain who approved Mrs. Clinton’s server, how many officials knew about it, and what accommodations they made to her after her emails become a public issue.

And the judge said he is “inclined” to issue a subpoena eventually, forcing the department to go back to Mrs. Clinton and demand she turn over the entire clintonemail.com system she and top aide Huma Abedin used during their time in the department. He withheld that order for now, saying he will wait to see what discovery produces, but said he’s concerned with the chain of events that led to the emails being shrouded in secrecy for so many years.

“How on earth can the court conclude there is not at minimum a reasonable suspicion of bad faith,” Judge Sullivan said.

Could we be coming closer to the ax that will bring Clinton down? Here is a judge who did not get the "Leave Clinton alone Memo!"

He is concerned about the secrecy surrounding Clinton and her server and the attempts of the Obama administration to cover for her! Hooray for Judge Sullivan!

The Obama administration repeatedly tried to derail the judge, saying that the State Department has done everything it can, and that at this point the issue is in Mrs. Clinton’s hands, not the department.

“State has really done everything it can to get these records,” Steven Myers, a Justice Department lawyer handling the case for the government, said.

The State may just push that subpoena on Clinton by their evasive answers!

Another far-right b.s. story that relies on the base being ignorant on how courts function.

Not gonna happen, people.

the scum of the earth dimocrap FILTH party is a criminal organization. Just that simple. And its voters are criminals

No way the chief criminal, the Lying Cocksucker in Chief, is going to allow a prosecution of Ubercunt.

It just ain't gonna happen. Loretta Lynch, Consigliere of the organized crime family called the democrat party, just ain't gonna do it.

It.Will.Not.Happen.

And I'll tell you why -- Ubercunt knows where all the bodies are buried.

...the way our Federal IT shops tend to implement IT policy isn’t through service, it’s through the prescription of antiquated technology. Rather than investing in cloud managed solutions, the feds prefer you to carry around a laptop that can log into a virtual desktop computer that’s often located inside of the basement of an agency. Then, if you’re not in the office, as the Secretary of State often isn’t, you can crank up Outlook, and check your mail. Maybe. If you’ve got the right authentication token with you.

And so you sit there and go “golly, this person needs to hear from me right now, before I go into my next meeting,” and more often than not, you just pop open your gmail, and bang out your quick email because it’s easier and you need to get the job done. Often times, our political leaders are not kind enough to save them and turn them over to the public record as Hillary Clinton did. Sometimes they just delete the messages.


The right solution here isn’t to get more stringent on the archiving stuff, it’s to make the archiving and sunlight stuff in service to the job. The IT department should be saying “what tools do you need in order to do your job in the best way that you see fit” and working backwards from that in order to prevent this sort of thing from becoming as common as it actually is.


Instead of forcing people to use a 2010 blackberry and lotus notes to check their email through a VNC firewall that takes 10 minutes to log into (that, by the way, is demonstrably insecure anyway, compromising not only national security, but also the integrity of the archives in the first place), why not fix that policy, make it easy for people to use the tools they need to use in order to do their jobs, and use some archiving technology from, say, 2010 in order to handle it. The trick here isn’t “make people comply with strong authority,” it’s “make compliance easier, and of service to the people that need to do a job other than recordkeeping”


One final thought: I’d imagine Secretary Clinton at some point emailed the White House.

How or why didn’t the White House tell Hillary to use her official .gov email account?


It could be that they knew the entire classified and unclassified email system was compromised and decided that the smartest thing to do was for her to use her personal email instead.

they throw the kitchen sink at her with leading news stories and headlines full of dishonest insinuations right before primaries, and she's still going to come out the other side victorious in the end... i bet that's going to really sting.



The big news about Hillary Clinton's emails came earlier today: 22 emails she sent on her controversial private server while at the State Department have been deemed top secret and won't be released to the public.


The State Department reiterated Friday that "these documents were not marked classified at the time they were sent," something the Clinton campaign has been arguing the whole time. Her campaign also pushed back against what is sees as "overclassification run amok."

Friday evening's email dump contained far fewer documents than normal — just about 1,000 pages. There were no blockbuster revelations in them...

"The emails from Clinton's personal email account made public by the State Department do not appear to contain any revelations that could badly damage her bid for the presidency in 2016... "


"A number of the emails to Clinton, some from high-ranking officials, are flattering to the former first lady."



^ BTW presumably any such correspondence is already on government servers ^





...various congressional probes have produced little damaging evidence.

State Department spokeswoman said that the 296 emails released on Friday "do not change the essential facts or our understanding of the events before, during or after the attacks."


They were the first installment of a rolling release of 55,000 pages of emails from her time as secretary of state between 2009 and 2013 that are due to be released in the coming months.


While Clinton's critics are particularly interested in Benghazi emails, several congressional probes have found no "smoking gun" linking her to any failure to protect the Americans who were killed.


Clinton, the front-runner for the nomination to represent the Democratic Party in the November 2016 presidential election, called for the State Department to release the emails as soon as possible.

"Anything that they might do to expedite that process I heartily support," the former first lady and U.S. senator told reporters at a campaign event in Cedar Falls, Iowa. "I want them out as soon as they can get out."


A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the U.S. State Department to produce a plan to release batches of Hillary Clinton's emails from her time there, raising the prospect of months of drip-by-drip disclosures that could plague her presidential campaign.

U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras ordered the State Department to prepare a timetable by next week for the rolling release of the 55,000 pages of emails sent and received by Clinton, according to a court document.

It was a rebuke to the State Department, which had said on Monday it might need until January 2016 to produce the emails.

Making the emails public in batches, as requested by the judge, could give Clinton's opponents on the campaign trail multiple chances to attack her.


Clinton has said she used a private email account because it was more convenient and points out that she violated no rules.

So your argument is she is smarter and knew MORE about cyber security then the whole FBI or CIA or DOD? Damn you must have one big sh#t wagon.

Have you seen the videos of her saying one thing to one audience and the opposite to another? She is a pathological liar with a purpose...the almighty dollar and power.

Soon, the special interests and powerful people won't have anything to do with her. She'll be poison! Abedin should look out!

Hey sparky....judges threaten subpoenas all the time. It is how they get participants in a legal action to cooperate with the opposing side.

It is always best to not comment at all when you are naïve to a topic.

I seem to recall the same thing being said back in 2007.

Just sayin'

Why hasn't it been subpoenaed already? Isn't it part of the investigation?

 

[Jarhead]

because it is a government agency, the judge feels the responsibility to restrain for longer periods of time to avoid embarrassing the government agency. is not a law.....it is simply a sign of respect.
