U.S. judge ordered the Justice and State departments Thursday to reopen an inquiry into whether Hillary Clinton used a private email server while secretary of state to deliberately evade public records laws, and to answer whether the agencies acted in bad faith by not telling a court for months that they had asked in mid-2014 for missing emails to be returned.....


....At best, Lamberth said the government's actions reflect "negligence born of incompetence," adding, "At worst, career employees in the State and Justice departments colluded to scuttle public scrutiny of Clinton, skirt FOIA, and hoodwink this court.".....

A previous thread, on this forum, addressed the action and the above referenced article.( article dated Dec 6 2018.)

Once again, though, here are the facts:

* Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group sued for emails related to the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi. AND U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington, on December 6, directed the State Department to work up a plan to provide relevant records to Judicial Watch.

* The judge said the disclosure of the documents, and possibly interviews of officials to explain the records, is needed to rule out government misconduct as Judicial Watch is trying to prove.

* The ruling may lead to new information about how the State Department handles requests filed under the Freedom of Information Act and may possibly reveal new email information during the process.

Doesn't sound like we are in a new probe to relitigate the much litigated Clinton email brouhaha, to me.

Hillary? Seriously? With all the corrupt shady people in and around the WH? But keeping grabbing at straws. Sad!

So many investigations and so little time! How will the House squeeze them all in?

Donald Trump just publicly threatened Michael Cohen's family. This is supposed to be a president.

And it is. President Gotti.

Nobody would like to see Hillary Clinton in an orange jumpsuit and working out in the yard with the chain gang, more than me, but I've about given up on ever seeing it happen. So I will therefore simply say YAWN on this one.

Cheney rarely put things in writing let alone use email. The email servers you are referring to were set up to avoid breaking the law as they were intended to be used for political purpose. Activities like that would require they use private service. It was found that some people within the administration were using those accounts for government business. Full copies were provided for archiving and there is no indication any of those emails contained classified information. While it's bad practice that needs to end there is no law against it.



Hillary and her staff on the other hand used her private server exclusively for all government related email communications including sending and receiving emails that had Top Secret/Special Access Programs information in them. That's against the law, period.
