SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

Judicial Watch’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email system entered a significant new phase last week.

We announced a schedule of depositions of Hillary Clinton’s top aides, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, as well as top State Department official Patrick Kennedy and former State IT employee Bryan Pagliano.

Their testimony is about the creation and operation of Clinton’s non-government email system. The first witness, Lewis A. Lukens, a deputy assistant secretary, was deposed on May 18. I can’t say much about the testimony at this point, other than to tell you that it was not helpful to either Mrs. Clinton or the Obama State Department.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan set this historic evidence gathering in motion. Judge Sullivan granted us “discovery” into Clinton’s email system, noting that “based on information learned during discovery, the deposition of Mrs. Clinton may be necessary.”

The depositions are part of our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Clinton. The lawsuit, which seeks records regarding the authorization for Abedin to engage in outside employment (the Clinton Foundation and other Clinton, Inc. entities) while employed by the Department of State, was reopened because of revelations about the clintonemail.com system (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)).

We have permission from the court to question these individuals for as long as seven hours:

May 18 – Lewis A. Lukens, deputy assistant secretary of state and executive director of the State Department’s Executive Secretariat from 2008 to 2011, who emailed with Patrick Kennedy and Cheryl Mills about setting up a computer for Clinton to check her clintonemail.com email account.  (This testimony took a little over two hours.)

May 27 – Cheryl D. Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff throughout her four years as secretary of state.

June 3 – Stephen D. Mull, executive secretary of the State Department from June 2009 to October 2012, who suggested that Clinton be issued a State Department BlackBerry, which would protect her identity and would also be subject to FOIA requests.

June 6 – Bryan Pagliano, State Department Schedule C employee who has been reported to have serviced and maintained the server that hosted the “clintonemail.com” system during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

June 8 – 30(b)(6) deposition(s) of the State Department regarding the processing of FOIA requests, including Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, for emails of Clinton and Abedin both during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state and after.

June 28 – Huma Abedin, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff and a senior advisor to Clinton throughout her four years as secretary of state and also had an email account on clintonemail.com.

June 29 – Patrick F. Kennedy, undersecretary for management since 2007 and the secretary of state’s principal advisor on management issues, including technology and information services.

As you will see below, in a separate FOIA lawsuit concerning Hillary Clinton and the Benghazi terrorist attack, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth also ruled that we could conduct discovery into the email practices of Clinton and her top aides.

This court-order testimony could finally reveal new truths about how Hillary Clinton and the Obama State Department subverted the Freedom of the Information Act.

Judge Nap: '#Hillary Will Be Charged Over Private Emails' @FOX

Judge Andrew Napolitano said today his "gut" feeling is that the Justice Department will end up bringing charges against Hillary Clinton over private emails that contained classified information.

There are now reportedly more than 300 emails that have been flagged as potentially classified. The number could grow as federal agents continue to go through the trove of documents.

Trump Slams Hillary: 'She's Controlled By the Lobbyists'

---

Meantime, journalist Bob Woodward likened the email scandal to the Watergate tapes that brought down President Richard Nixon. 

In a "Fox and Friends" interview, Napolitano agreed with the assessment, saying just like Nixon, the former secretary of state seems to not realize that she's in "serious trouble."

He pointed out that the team of FBI investigators and federal prosecutors looking into the emails is the "highest and best in the Justice Department."

"It's absolutely apolitical. It's impervious to political consequences," said Napolitano.

He said if President Obama tries to stop a prosecution of Clinton, FBI Director James Comey would not stay "quiet" about it.

#HILLARY ' S CREDIBILITY GAP !!!

By Attorney Jonathan Emord
Author of "The Rise of Tyranny" and
"Global Censorship of Health Information" and
"Restore The Republic"

April 27, 2015
NewsWithViews.com

The fundamental problem Hillary faces, which may well prove insurmountable, is one of credibility. Most voters do not trust her. Her public service baggage has become too weighty to ignore. In addition, she is viewed as inflexible, boring, and temperamental. Most Americans admire a leader who is cool under pressure, affable, witty, and inspiring. She does not fit the leader profile. Above all else, to gain the confidence of the American people, a candidate for president must inspire trust. It is that trust factor that eludes Hillary, in part because she has such a poor track record but also because she cannot roll with the punches and respond with ease and grace to complex issues. She is mechanical and awkward when she needs to be fluid and graceful.

Peter Schweizer’s new book, Clinton Cash, is due out May 5. In it, that former Hoover Institute fellow known for his books exposing government corruption, establishes temporal links between receipt of funds from foreign entities by the Clinton Foundation and access to and actions by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He apparently lacks the penultimate proof of a quid pro quo but the coincidence in timing of receipt of funds and interaction with foreign representatives raises that question and begs for a full investigation.

Even if the Clinton Foundation’s receipt of funds from foreign entities cannot be proven to be part of a criminal quid pro quo, there is a more fundamental problem facing Hillary. The appearance of impropriety reduces public trust in her even further. It extends the credibility gap, making it even more difficult for Hillary to convince voters that she is trustworthy.

#PJNET #CCOT BILL AND #HILLARY GREED AND CORRUPTION !!!

By NWV Senior Political News Writer, Jim Kouri

Posted 1:00 AM Eastern
April 25, 2015© 2015 NewsWithViews.com

This week, the New York Timesrevealed that a new book -- "Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich" by Peter Schweizer -- will be released on May 5 and should shake up things within the Hillary Clinton for President campaign. The scuttlebutt within political circles is that the book will make expand the narrative about numerous cash donations made by foreign donors to the money-sucking Clinton Foundation.

According to reports already known, foreign individuals and organizations donated millions of dollars to the foundation and gaveformer President Bill Clinton high-dollar speaking fees while his wife served as President Barack Obama's Secretary of State. She in turn is accused of granting favors from her State Department, all the while transacting business using a private email account and a Clinton owned and controlled Internet server.

Schweizer's book is expected to uncover a pattern of financial contributions to the Clintons that ended up giving the contributors access to policy decisions benefiting those donors, while the Clintons built up a personal mega-fortune. Already the Clintons' trusty team of liars, smear-merchants and goon-squad members are out in full force -- with the help of their news media sycophants -- attacking the messenger and attacking the motives of anyone who dares to investigate these allegations.

A majority of US voters — 54 percent — say Hillary Clinton is not honest or trustworthy according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

Only 38 percent said they trust the Democratic frontrunner.

But most of the other news in the poll was upbeat for Clinton.

She has strong leadership qualities according to 62 percent of voters compared with 34 percent who said she didn’t.

And she beat every Democratic and Republican rival in head-to-head match-ups.

“Yes she is a leader, but can she be trusted? Mixed reviews for Hillary Clinton on key character traits,” said pollster Tim Malloy.

#Hillary ’ s #Lesbian Affairs Named in Secret Emails ! @Atas

This won’t surprise longtime Atlas readers. Atlas reported this story of Hillary’s lesbian affair with Huma Abedin when it was all the NYC gay scenesters could talk about back in 2007 — here and here. 

Anthony Weiner is a beard — a very necessary cover when rumors of Huma and Hillary’s love affair were rife. Which is why Huma didn’t give a fig when Weiner was texting his weiner to scores of college girls. Or when Bill was raping Juanita Broaddrick or inserting cigars into Monica Lewinsky’s vajayjay.

Unprecedented: Obama sends Muslim Holy Cloth for offering at Ajmer Sharif

Obama’s obeisance to Islamic customs/ tradition.

The American President has offered a red coloured, richly embroidered ‘chadar’ (holy cloth) that will be offered at the mausoleum of the Garib Nawaz on the inaugural day of the weeklong Urs.The celebrations are for the revered saint Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Hasan Chisty of Ajmer.

This was the first time that the US Government was sending a Chaddar there.It is always done by Muslims leaders from Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.  He has never shown the same reverence to other faiths.
Dargah Sharif or Ajmer Sharif is a Muslim shrine to Moinuddin Chishti located at Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. The shrine has the grave (Maqbara) of the saint, Moinuddin Chist. The Chaddar with a...

#MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD USED #HILLARY EMAIL SERVER !!! @WND

Reports: 3 top aides had private accounts while Hillary was at State Department

Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin

At least three of Hillary Clinton’s top aides – including one with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood – used emails hosted on Clinton’s private server while she was secretary of state, according to several reports.

At a news conference Tuesday at the U.N., Clinton directly addressed media about the revelation that she conducted her business as secretary of state using a private email account instead of the secure and archived government system.

image: http://www.wnd.com/files/2015/03/Clinton_Abedin2.jpg

She acknowledged she deleted thousands of personal emails and said she turned over hard copies of messages to the State Department that she deemed to be work related.

But Clinton apparently wasn’t the only one at the State Department using private email.

Weekly Standard senior writer Stephen Hayes told Fox News, “Two of Hillary Clinton’s top aides used personal email while they were employed at the State Department.”

Hayes specifically named Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, who served as Clinton’s longtime deputy chief of staff. Abedin and Clinton worked closely together for nearly 20 years.

“The State Department has evidence of this,” he said.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testifying before the Senate on Benghazi

WASHINGTON – News shark Matt Drudge had just five words to describe Hillary Clinton’s response to the emailgate controversy, tweeting Tuesday:

“Hillary totally f—ed it up.”

image: http://www.wnd.com/files/2015/03/Drudge_tweet.jpg

Matt Drudge tweet on March 10

National Journal’s Ron Fournier, the former Washington bureau chief for the AP, tweeted:

“Democrats: It’s high time to ask, ‘Is this as good as we can do?’”

Clinton met the press but refused to address the toughest, and most important, three questions she faced about her use of private email accounts for all of her official government business during her tenure as secretary of state:

• Would she have an independent arbiter look at her private email server?
• What lengths would she go to prove she did not delete emails? (The Washington Post reports 31,380 of her emails were deemed personal and destroyed.)
• Did she clear the server with State Department security officials, or anyone?
• 
  

Former Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., critiqued Clinton’s performance by rhetorically asking WND, “What difference does it make?”

That was a pointed reference to Hillary’s previous attempt to dodge tough questions during her Senate testimony over the importance of finding out who was responsible for the deadly terrorist attack on Benghazi.

Defiant #Hillary says she’s NOT letting anyone near her private server !!! @AtlasShrugs

No laws for liberals. It’s astonishing. She should be facing charges like Petraeus; instead, she is the left’s leading candidate.

It shouldn’t be up to her — her server should be seized, but under Obama’s autocracy, laws mean nothing.

A defiant Hillary Clinton on Tuesday finally addressed the simmering controversy surrounding her use of a private email account and private server while she served as secretary of state.But she said a whole lot of nothing.
