Judge delays legal challenge by conservative group over Clinton emails
[UPI] A federal judge has delayed a ruling on whether former U.S. Secretary of State Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
must submit to cross-examination stemming from a complaint by a conservative group concerning emails she wrote and received while serving in an official capacity.

U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lambeth said Thursday a decision would likely come in January concerning a request by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch, but added he was concerned by the continuing emergence of new emails in the case.

Last week the Justice Department released 30 emails not included in the 30,000 she gave the State Department in 2014.

Although Clinton was cleared of wrongdoing by a lengthy Justice Department investigation tied to the scandal -- which involved her sending official emails over a non-secure, private server -- the group seeks to depose Clinton and conduct another round of questioning of former chief of staff Cheryl Mills.

The group's long-running suit began with a search for information regarding Clinton's handling of the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. It led to disclosures about Clinton's use of the private email system she used between 2009 and 2013 to conduct official business.

The FBI discovered that a few dozen emails contained classified information, and more than 2,000 were later retroactively classified by the State Department.

"The FBI moved heaven and earth to reconstruct and locate any email they could possibly find that was related to Secretary Clinton," Justice Department attorney Stephen Pezzi argued in court Thursday.

Judicial Watch argues the State Department acted in bad faith by releasing only four of Clinton's emails and attempted to close the case in 2014.

#1 "Although Clinton was protected of treason charges-racketeering by a criminally corrupt Obama Justice Department investigation. The largest known case of international bribery by an American federal official".

Fixed that.

#2 4 months ago, the Jordan Sekulow, attorney at watchdog group the ACLJ wrote on the following lawsuit:

Mills and Samuelson immunity agreements. ACLJ Obtains Obama DOJ’s Immunity Agreements with Hillary Clinton Lawyers Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson to “Dispose” of Evidence and Refuse to Comply with Federal Law.

1. Mills were both witnesses and HRC's attorneys.

2. Comey was Director of the FBI at the time these agreements were made.

3. Can immunity agreements be used, knowingly, to cover up crimes and espionage?

#4 JohnQC, I don't quite understand what you're getting at. It's standard for a prosecutor to be aware of the crimes of a person before offering them immunity. That's kind of the whole point of offering immunity. If the prosecutor wasn't aware of the crimes, the offer wouldn't need to be made. Maybe I'm just missing the point you're making?
