maybe before its too late; latest news here...

According to Rasmussen Reports, the majority of Americans now think the DOJ should be moving in that direction. Based upon the recent polls, respondents say Hillary Clinton broke the law and should face the consequences of her actions, but Americans are “far less convinced that serious charges will be brought against her.” Rasmussen found that 64 percent of likely U.S. voters believe Hillary broke the law, with 47 percent saying it’s very likely. Only 29 percent believe it’s unlikely that Clinton broke U.S. laws, with nine percent saying it’s “not at all likely.”

New developments in the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server appear to contradict her claim that it's merely a "security review," not a criminal investigation.

Judge Andrew Napolitano explained on "Fox and Friends" this morning that the Justice Department declined to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request related to the investigation because it involves "a law enforcement matter."

"We now know that it's not a 'security review,'" Judge Napolitano said.

He explained that whether it was intentional or inadvertent, the Justice Department has now publicly recognized the criminal nature of the investigation.

"This is the first time the Justice Department has acknowledged this is a federal law enforcement matter. But I doubt Mrs. Clinton will start saying that."

Federal District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan made the observation in an order granting a plan for discovery by Judicial Watch, a Washington-based legal group seeking information about the arrangement that allowed Abedin to do outside work while she was working for Clinton at the State Department.

The question in the lawsuit is a narrow one — did the State Department do everything legally required when it searched for documents, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, about the Abedin employment arrangement?

To get the answer, Sullivan said, "questions surrounding the creation, purpose, and use of the clintonemail.com server must be explored through limited discovery," the legal term for gathering evidence in a civil lawsuit.

State, for its part, has argued that when they learned about the use of the private email account they began a new search for relevant documents among the pages Clinton had turned over. But Sullivan said State voluntarily searching through the thousands of pages already turned over by Clinton “hardly transforms the search into an adequate or reasonable one.”

Thus, Sullivan’s order gives the green light to a discovery plan drafted by both sides to interview multiple State Department officials—past and present, which could include Clinton.

“Based on information learned during discovery, the deposition of Mrs. Clinton may be necessary,” Sullivan said in the order...

The order states that discovery must be wrapped up in two months’ time.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said on Wednesday that the order marks “a significant victory for transparency and accountability.”

“Judicial Watch will use this discovery to get all of the facts behind Hillary Clinton’s and the Obama State Department’s thwarting of FOIA so that the public can be sure that all of the emails from her illicit email system are reviewed and released to the public as the law requires,” he said in a statement.

A lawyer could take a deposition. Ain't there been thousands of depositions taken already?

The Gowdy nutsuckers have had hearings on this forever, as well as benghazi. Benghazi is down to tracking down nutsuckers who call into nutsucker slobberblog radio.

A lawyer is going to do what with a deposition? (just another form of the same testimony). A Subpoena Duces Tecum aint going to get much, lawyers talking to lawyers and same answers as before.
