DC Circuit OVERTURNS order requiring Hillary Clinton to sit for deposition related to her emails

Josh Gerstein @joshgerstein
BREAKING: DC Circuit panel, 3-0, overturns order requiring Hillary Clinton to sit for deposition related to her private email account.

Ruling: ("The mere suspicion of bad faith on the part of the government cannot be used as a dragnet to authorize voluminous discovery that is irrelevant to the remaining issues in a case." )

exciting opportunity to uncover more evil complexity in the conspiracy. Conspiracies are closed circuits, with all input circling around to prove the conspiracy. Additional "revelations" also increase the superiority of those privy to the truth over those who are not.

5 Especially in light of Judicial Watch’s present access to extensive information responsive to its proposed deposition topics, the deposition of Secretary Clinton, if allowed to proceed, at best seems likely to stray into topics utterly unconnected with the instant FOIA suit, and at worst could be used as a vehicle for harassment or embarrassment. We refrain from opining further on these topics except to observe that neither path can be squared with the dictates of either FOIA or Rule 26

...from the corporate conservatives they are to anything else.

They're basically already looking for a Kamala or Joe fail phase right now to switch the narrative to a horse race.
