U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth entered an order Tuesday agreeing that Judicial Watch can pursue legal discovery which often includes depositions of relevant individuals as the group pursues legal claims that State did not respond completely to a FOIA request filed in May 2014 seeking records about talking points then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice used for TV appearances discussing the deadly attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi in September 2012.
Lamberth is the second federal judge handling a Clinton email-related case to agree to discovery, which is unusual in FOIA litigation. Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan gave Judicial Watch the go-ahead to pursue depositions of Clinton aides in a lawsuit for records about former Clinton Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin.
"Where there is evidence of government wrong-doing and bad faith, as here, limited discovery is appropriate, even though it is exceedingly rare in FOIA cases," Lamberth wrote in a three-page order. The judge noted that State argues it had no legal duty to search Clinton's emails when Judicial Watch's request arrived because her emails were not in the agency's possession and control at that time. It was not until December 2014 that Clinton turned over a portion of her email archive to State at the agency's request.

(3,343 posts)I've seen things that shouldn't be hidden, hidden, if the Clintonites want it to be... I thought people should see this without fear of it being hidden, especially Bernie supporters... plus if it was hidden then some reasonable Clinton supporters wouldn't have a chance to see it either...

Shows how experienced federal Judges who have dealt with BS political cases are going to treat this case. They take this one very seriously. She's in very deep trouble.

(3,040 posts)When I clerked for a judge many years ago, every word was chosen meticulously even in their memo opinions.

(2,166 posts)I am astounded at what has already surfaced.
And wondering: what is yet to be revealed?
There is no way Hillary can serve as president.

(41,600 posts)I mean, Larry Klayman sued his own mother! He's also trying to become one of Cliven (Teabagger rancher) Bundy's Defense team.
Has Klayman ever NOT investigated the Clintons? He has been at this since Whitewater.
I'm all for Clinton being exposed for her corruption, but Larry Klayman? Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
PEACE
LOVE
