It appears that Hillary Clinton needs the full force and power of the Obama Administration to help hide her guilt in the Benghazi attacks and email scandal, as Judicial Watch digs into the “talking points” of these events in an FOIA open records case.
The Obama Justice Department is claiming that Judicial Watch’s request is “overbroad and duplicative.” What do Obama and his cover-up machine find so necessary to bury in this? If they are squeaky clean and transparent, then let Judicial Watch comb through everything 10 fold and come up empty-handed. Yet the panic demonstrated by the Justice Department in this filing suggests there are details that they fear will be discovered.
Late Thursday evening, the Justice Department filed a court motion opposing the Clinton deposition request from conservative legal watchdog Judicial Watch, claiming that the organization was trying to dramatically expand the scope of the lawsuit.
Judicial Watch is “seeking instead to transform these proceedings into a wide-ranging inquiry into matters beyond the scope of the court’s order and unrelated to the FOIA request at issue in this case,” government lawyers wrote in their filing, referring to the Freedom of Information Act.
The lawyers wrote that the request to interview Clinton “is wholly inappropriate” before depositions are finished in a separate case also concerning the email server.
Instead, it claimed, the group should complete the depositions in the other case first before demanding an interview of Clinton and the other officials.
A former senior State Department official, Jake Sullivan, who is also a current top aide in the Clinton presidential campaign has been okay’ed to be deposed as long as the questions remain “on the limited topic” of the used personal email within the department.
The case is the second in which Judicial Watch has been granted approval to depose witnesses to gather evidence about Clinton’s email setup. In the other case, interviews of current and former Clinton aides have already begun.
Clinton is not scheduled to answer questions as part of that case, though a federal judge has warned that she could be called upon in the future.
The Justice Department claims they want to “avoid the burden and expense” of going through duplicated activities that apply to each case. One laughs at the idea that the government wants to save time and money.
