Judge Sets Hearing Date in Hillary Clinton E-mail Case

Source: NBC NEWS

FEB 1 2016, 6:09 PM ET
by PETE WILLIAMS

The federal judge overseeing the main Hillary Clinton e-mail lawsuit has scheduled a status conference for next week to see where the headline-generating case goes from here.

Judge Rudolph Contreras will ask the lawyers at the hearing on February 9 where the lawsuit stands, now that the State Department has said it will finish disclosing the relevant documents by the end of the month.

February 9 also happens to be the day of the New Hampshire primary.

A year ago, Jason Leopold, an investigative reporter for VICE News, filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department, seeking records related to Mrs. Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State. The lawsuit took on new prominence with the disclosure last March that she used a private e-mail server.

Leopold is the source of this ridiculousness? I thought it was those Citizens United anal pores.

Some of it relates to getting other departments to review the emails for classified stuff - taking longer than they hoped.

It's bad for Hillary because it drags it out though she may not like the result ..

State Dept had to go through each email to black out classified info. 55,000 pages is a lot to do quickly. Judge agreed with monthly issues that were to be completed at the end of January.

going to be indicted about all this crap sooner rather than later, if there is nothing then lets get it over with so we can move on, I hate the not knowing part, if she is exonerated completely then any further mention of this by repukes gets wacked back as a conspiracy, by the end of tonight we will know that Donald Trump is their nominee and that will mean that he will continue to air this out all during the GE if there is even a shred of guilt on her part she will lose the middle because of honest and trustworthy factors. I just want it to end so that people can freely select her in the primaries with no worries that they will be throwing their votes in the garbage and looking back should have voted for Bernie.

and the State Department over a Freedom of Information Act request.

Hillary has already asked for the public release of ALL of her emails.

This is just a lawsuit about a Freedom of Information Request and how the State Department has decided to comply with it.

Hillary herself has already called for the release of all of her emails.
