An appeals court in DC has ruled that Hillary Clinton does not have to testify on either her private email server or on her Benghazi Attack records. Yes, those controversies are still ongoing.
This is similar to an article that I wrote yesterday about politicians NEVER BEING HELD TO ACCOUNT for their inaction or their illegal activities.
REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS PART OF THE SWAMP
As you recall, in 2015 Judicial Watch discovered Hillary Clinton was using a private email server to conduct official State Department business. By law, she was only allowed to use a secure “state.gov” email account.
From a Breitbart article from Oct. 31, 2016.
Hillary Clinton set up a private email server, and a private email network for herself and her family and Abedin. Doing so could prevent her emails from being “accessible” to the federal government, not to mention Congress.
The private network allowed Clinton, Abedin, and aides Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan to swap emails with the Clinton Foundation, various world leaders. (It was later revealed that President Obama knew of and sent sensitive emails through the illegal and unsecured server.)
The FBI investigation began with one simple premise: that Hillary Clinton violated the Espionage Act of 1913 by allowing national defense information to be “lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed” through “gross negligence.”
Emails surfaced in the law enforcement investigation of Abedin’s husband Anthony Weiner for allegedly sexting with a minor.
The classified emails ended up in the hands of Weiner, detectives in the Anthony Weiner sexting case, Julian Assange, foreign governments, among others.
Both Clinton and Abedin faced additional charges, including perjury and obstruction of justice, for contradicting sworn statements and telling falsehoods to the FBI, not to mention Congress.
At the time Judicial Watch made this discovery, it was considered “the worst scandal for a presidential candidate since Watergate.”
Now, five years later, nothing has been done about it. In fact, the court has just ruled in Hillary’s favor!
“Earlier this year a federal court ordered a deposition of Hillary Clinton on her emails and Benghazi attack records. Washington District Court Judge Royce Lamberth, appointee of former President Ronald Reagan, who was assigned the FOIA case in 2014, on March 2 ordered Clinton and Mills to sit for depositions as part of another round of discovery
Clinton hit back and filed an appeal to stop her court-ordered email testimony.”
According to Tom Fitton, of Judicial Watch,
“We can’t even get the Justice Department to come in and argue against Hillary Clinton, even though they know she’s legally wrong – and have told the court in writing that she is! The DOJ doesn’t have one wit of concern about the misconduct, about the accountability.”
Judicial Watch is considering how next to proceed. What’s sad is that a private firm has to do the job that that the DOJ should be all over. Makes you wonder why….
