Appeals court rules Hillary Clinton doesn't have to sit for Judicial Watch deposition

A three-judge appeals court panel ruled that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can dodge a sworn deposition from a conservative watchdog group, reversing a lower court decision that had ordered the sworn testimony about her private email server during her time at the State Department.

Clinton, who appealed the order from earlier this year requiring she and her former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, sit down for depositions, scored the legal victory in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Friday.

“The mere suspicion of bad faith on the part of the government cannot be used as a dragnet to authorize voluminous discovery that is irrelevant to the remaining issues in a case,” said the 25-page ruling authored by Obama appointee Judge Robert Wilkins. “The District Court has impermissibly ballooned the scope of its inquiry into allegations of bad faith to encompass a continued probe of Secretary Clinton’s state of mind surrounding actions taken years before the at-issue searches were conducted by the State Department. Secretary Clinton has already answered interrogatories from Judicial Watch on these very questions in the case before Judge Sullivan, explaining the sole reason she used the private account was for convenience.”

Same judges (1 appointed by Bush II and 2 by Obama) that are holding LTG Flynn hostage.

Corrupt to the core!  Flynn knows something they DO NOT want made public before the election and are willing to make a mockery of the justice system to ensure that he doesn't!

A VERY good question!  My answer is that it is some of both.
