US Judge: Clinton may be ordered to testify in records case

A federal judge said Wednesday he may order Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton to testify under oath about whether she used a private email server as secretary of state to evade public records disclosures.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan signed an order granting a request from the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch to question six current and former State Department staffers about the creation and purpose of the private email system. Those on the list were some of Clinton's closest aides during her tenure as the nation's top diplomat, including former chief of staff Cheryl D. Mills, deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin and undersecretary Patrick F. Kennedy.

Also set to testify is Bryan Pagliano, the agency employee who was tasked with setting up the clintonemail.com server located in the basement of the New York home Clinton shares with her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Pagliano has previously refused to testify before Congress, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Based on what might be gleaned in those interviews, which are to be conducted over the next eight weeks, Sullivan says in his order a sworn deposition from Hillary Clinton "may be necessary."

That raises the possibility that Clinton could be ordered to testify in the midst of the presidential race. A campaign spokesman did not respond Wednesday to messages about whether Clinton would oppose any order to testify.

Hillary's far left ideology goes back to her college days.  She was a follower of Saul Alinsky, a community organizer and a self-proclaimed Marxist. Hillary did her college thesis on Alinsky, and he was so impressed with her that he offered her a job as his assistant. Instead, she married Bill Clinton and they went into politics. However, she maintained her friendship with Alinsky for years until he died. Hillary's comment about companies not creating jobs is a direct reflection of her Marxist ideology.

By the way, Alinksky wrote 'Rules for Radicals,' a book on community organizing. Obama also is an admirer of Alinsky, and taught his methods back in Chicago before becoming a state senator. Obama and Hillary are cut from the same political cloth.

Lol trump.

In this case, the key is that the FBI found zero evidence that Clinton broke the law or jeopardized national security according to Washington Post and PoliticusUSA.  Eventually, Clinton is likely to be cleared of criminal wrongdoing.  Besides, public doesn't seem to care much about this phony scandal.

"Here's what I know," Obama told Chris Wallace. "Hillary Clinton was an outstanding Secretary of State. She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy."


Ignorantia juris non excusat..............a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because he or she was unaware of its content.

Ignorance of the law/rules is no defense..

It does not matter if Hillary intended to break the law or not, the only question is, did she break the law? ...Yes !!!!

Yup I agree with you 100% but whether Hillary, bush, GOP pedophiles, whoever,  accountability and responsibility are for some but not all

 Claims that Clinton violated the law have been consistently debunked by legal experts such as Richard Lampert, Stephen Vladeck and Laurie Levenson.  Probably attorney general will decide charges aren't warranted in the future.

^ What does that have to do with HRC?
