How she must hate Larry Klayman and Judicial Watch.
ZitatA federal judge in Washington, D.C. ruled Friday that Hillary Clinton must answer written questions from a group that filed a lawsuit over her private email server.
Lawyers for Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog organization, asked to interview her under oath as part of their Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department.
But Judge Emmet Sullivan said Friday that the group "has failed to demonstrate that it cannot obtain the discovery it seeks through other, less burdensome or intrusive means such as interrogatories."
He gave the group until October 14 to give her the questions, and she has 30 days to answer them.
The group is seeking the details of Huma Abedin's relationship with the State Department that permitted her to do outside work while she was a top aide to Secretary Clinton.
Judicial Watch lawyers told the judge that only by interviewing Clinton under oath could they hope to learn why set up up a private e-mail server.
Clinton's lawyers argued that because so much has previously been disclosed -- through her testimony to Congress, the report of the State Department's inspector general, and the findings of the FBI -- there was no need to depose her about the e-mail server her in order to learn the details of Huma Abedin's contract.
Judicial Watch insisted that none of those other inquiries delved into why a private server was used in the first place. "Secretary Clinton has never testified under oath why she created and used the clintonemail.com system to conduct official government business. Her only public statements on the issue are unsworn," the group's lawyers said in court filings.
I was concerned when I heard the headline, but then I saw that her responses will be written under oath.
That means verified under penalty of perjury.
First time she's had to put her money where her mouth is. Even the FBI didn't swear her, and for a reason. They knew the fix was in because they were a PART of it.
