Judge Orders State Department to Get FBI Findings on Clinton E-Mails

Source: NBC NEWS

by PETE WILLIAMS

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the State Department to keep in close touch with the FBI about what investigators find on Hillary Clinton's e-mail server.

And the judge indicated he thought her decision to conduct official business on a private e-mail account was unwise.

"We wouldn't be here today if the employee had followed government policy," said District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan, referring to the former secretary of state.

"There was a violation of government policy," he said.

The Thursday order involves a side issue in the e-mail controversy — a Freedom of Information Act inquiry about an employment arrangement that allowed top Clinton aide Huma Abedin to do outside consulting while working at the State Department.

That is all good & well & know all judges are different. However, at least the State Dept is trying to comply to the best of their knowledge regarding the emails.

The courts should either order the State of Alabama to comply with the SC ruling on gay marriage & issue the marriage licenses that are requested & order the State to fire the worker who refuses to comply with the Ruling that is in direct violation of the law.
