Good evening emailgate fans. Technically, this series of Judicial Watch FOIA-based depositions should now be named Emailgate 1.0 because of a brand-new Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) email scandal, which should rightly be titled Emailgate 2.0. However for the sake of clarity, we will continue to refer to the earlier scandal simply as emailgate. Looking forward to the deposition of the IT guy who installed and probably transferred secret documents onto Medusa's home server, many of us had hoped for lots of light to be shed on the devious, dark ways of Her Eminence-in-Waiting. Alas, such gratification is to be denied us us. Quoting from The Hill: Brian "the Connection" Pagliano's deposition was not full of sound and fury.

Instead it was like a dirge, solely consisting of a single chorus, drawn from an obscure, often subverted document. The chorus, like Beethoven's Fifth, is still powerful: the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Battling Bryan resorted to this plaintive braying (as is his right) more than 100 times. So, unfortunately, there will not be a marathon summary of this deposition forthcoming from the Alligator Lagoon.

Unlike in criminal cases, judges in civil suits are allowed to draw inferences from a witness’s decision not to answer questions, potentially increasing the likelihood that Clinton herself is asked to testify as part of the Judicial Watch lawsuit. Clinton’s campaign would surely vigorously oppose any request for her to appear, and the event could dramatically shake up the presidential race.

Now, I, for one, would love to hear Hilarious's aria as it becomes much more likely that a command performance in front of Judge Emmett Sullivan will be requested. Of course, there will be at least two warm-up acts before the main solo: expect dramatic arias, both sung in false-etto, by Huma Abedin and Patrick Kennedy.

I can hardly wait for that concert! Now I shall briefly celebrate with my own fifth (bourbon, of course). Cheers!
