Feds, Judicial Watch strike deal on Clinton email depositions

The conservative group Judicial Watch and lawyers for the State Department have struck a deal to govern sworn depositions from three former aides to Hillary Clinton about the private email server and account she used during her tenure as secretary of state.

The joint proposal detailed in a Friday night court filing calls for the depositions of former Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin and information technology specialist Bryan Pagliano during a two-month discovery period that would follow approval of the agreement by a federal judge. The deal suggests the politically sensitive interviews could be videotaped.

Approval of the plan by U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan could come as soon as next week. He ruled in February that Judicial Watch should be permitted to take depositions in the watchdog group's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for information about Abedin's employment arrangements.

Given Sullivan's ruling, the talks between the conservative group and Justice Department lawyers representing State focused on the scope of the discovery effort: how many people would be deposed, who would be deposed and what questions will be allowed.

We could be preparing to fight Donald Trump and elect downticket Democrats.

Instead, we are going to be dragged through another Clinton psychodrama of mass proportions. Months and months and months of dysfunction, denial, deflection, bitterness. There will be no peace in the land. And if her own actions don't take her down, the Republicans will rip her to shreds. Medieval tortures will seem pale in comparison to their plans for her.

There is another path. A path of hope and integrity.

The obstruction and lawsuits against her would make Obama's presidency seem like the most active presidency ever!

and they would string it out forever. I would like to see the Foundation investigated, but not while the target is POTUS.

That's what her supporters keep saying. I'm waiting for the explanation of:
Why the Republicans will magically stop obstructing if she is elected
How she will accomplish anything if they do obstruct unless she caves to their demands
And, most importantly, for her to explain and PROMISE us that she will not cave to the right wing
