Fed judge to State Dept: provide Clinton & Abedin documents in two weeks

Hillary Clinton On Her Cell Phone - Blackberry

“Security briefing?  I don’t need no stinkin’ security briefing.”

Just as I indicated last week was a bad week for Hillary, this week is turning out equally bad.  But you’d never know it because the American Media Maggots aren’t displaying her abrogations on page one, above the fold, or featured prominently up front on TV news segments.

Shocker, that.

From DailyCaller.com:

BREAKING: Judge Orders State Dept To Release Hillary’s Security Training Records, Or Be Deposed

by Richard Pollock

A federal judge ordered the Department of State Wednesday to produce for The Daily Caller News Foundation the security training records of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aide Huma Abedin within two weeks, or face direct deposition of multiple government officials.

Oh my.  A direct deposition.  We can’t have that now, can we?

“I’m sure you can appreciate Mr. Lee, there is a certain time sensitivity on this issue,” U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Leon told Department of Justice Attorney Jason Lee, representing the State Department. “We’re looking down the barrel of a presidential election from now in two months.”

Gosh.  A federal judge whose eyes are actually open and recognizes the political importance of having these documents produced in a timely manner.  Score one for Judge Leon.

TheDCNF filed the lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act last November, after the State Department refused to turn over all records of the security training for Clinton and her top aides.

In a July 29 State Department filing before Leon, attorneys for the State and Justice departments claimed they failed to locate any security briefing documents for Clinton or Abedin.

They further stated the absence of any documents meant that the “courses were not completed” by the secretary or her aides. It is unclear if Clinton explicitly refused to attend the security briefings.

Let’s be honest for a moment, however.  Would Hillary Clinton really need to attend any sort of security orientation or briefing?  She is, after all, Hillary Rodham Clinton and security orientations are for little people, not her.

The lack of training may help explain why Clinton saw no problem with setting up a private server in her New York home to process her private email account.

I’m not convinced.  She is, after all, Hillary Rodham Clinton and security orientations are for little people, not her.  She has a “history,” you see.

Clinton deliberately skipped a cybersecurity briefing in 2011, and defied national security officials by continuing to bring her unsecured BlackBerry cellphone into the confines of her secure office at the State Department.

You know me; I love this paragraph:

“Judge Leon made it clear that State can provide the simple clarifications we’ve sought one of two ways: either now, in a cooperative manner, or in a few weeks in sworn depositions,” said attorney Bradley Moss. “The choice is theirs to make.” Moss represents TheDCNF in the suit.

But wait, there’s more.  Tomorrow I tell you just why Hillary Clinton had a private server.

  1. “… or in a few weeks in sworn depositions…”

    how many “few weeks” until the election? we only have a few weeks. this means very little, i fear.

  2. I hope, in the debates, he ignores whatever rules they establish and engages her directly.
    Can you imagine the reaction of his base if he tells the moderators to fundamentally “kiss his ass”?
    I don’t like him.
    But if he does that, he guarantees my vote.

  3. Looking forward to Hillary’s shucking and jiving.
    She has her “advisors”.
    We shall see her obfuscations soon.
