Federal Judge Orders Hillary Clinton Interrogation, Investigation Reopened

HRC summoned to answer questions under oath on email server and Benghazi attack

In a landmark ruling, a federal judge has ordered an interrogation of Hillary Clinton under oath, relaunching the investigation into her mishandling of classified emails.

Clinton will be required to answer questions regarding her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state during Obama’s first four years as president.

The former first lady will also be required to answer questions related to the 2012 Benghazi attack against two United States government facilities in Libya by members of the Islamic militant group Ansar al-Sharia, which cost American lives.

Hillary Clinton’s lax security surrounding her emails is often cited as the cause of the deaths of two of the Americans killed during the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi.

The U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan issued the ruling during a lawsuit from the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, according to the Washington Examiner.

“Court rules late today Hillary Clinton must answer more email questions — including key q’s about the setting up of her email system,” Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch’s President tweeted after the ruling.

According to Western Journal, the hearing and ruling is the latest development in the group’s Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, which seeks to clarify why former deputy chief of staff to Clinton, Huma Abedin, was authorized to work simultaneously for both the State Department and “outside employment,” according to a statement from Judicial Watch.

Now, Clinton has 30 days to answer two key questions about her email system that she previously refused to answer.

They were from a list of 25 questions Judicial Watch submitted:

The questions were:

1) “Describe the creation of the clintonemail.com system, including who decided to create the system, the date it was decided to create the system, why it was created, who set it up, and when it became operational.”

and

24)  During your October 22, 2015 appearance before the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Benghazi, you testified that 90 to 95 percent of your emails “were in the State’s system” and “if they wanted to see them, they would certainly have been able to do so.” Identify the basis for this statement, including all facts on which you relied in support of the statement, how and when you became aware of these facts, and, if you were made aware of these facts by or through another person, identify the person who made you aware of these facts.

In other words, the twin scandals of Clinton’s time as secretary of state — her use of a private email server and the disgraceful terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, and the Obama administration’s politics-driven response to it — are back in the public eye.

And that’s right where Democrats, and particularly Hillary Clinton, don’t want them to be.

Don’t expect the mainstream media to describe it this way, but this ruling throws a wrench in the middle of Clinton’s potential run for president in 2020.

In fact, it’s probably a disaster.

After rumors began circulating that Clinton might start another run for president, she began making comments related to the Florida election recount, which suggests her willingness to stay in politics.

However, Clinton is still haunted by the email debacle she tried to leave behind.

After President Donald Trump was elected, Clinton laid low for a bit and tried to pretend as though her email scandal didn’t happen.

But conservatives haven’t let Clinton forget about her “extremely careless” handling of emails.

Voters held Clinton accountable in 2016, and voters will hold Clinton accountable again if she runs in 2020.
