Judicial Watch Asks Court to Unseal Videos of Depositions in Hillary Clinton Email Case

News Media Organizations Also on Record Supporting Public Release

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today announced it filed a motion that seeks to unseal the audiovisual recordings of the depositions of top Clinton aides and State Department officials. The depositions come in connection with a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, deputy chief of staff to former Secretary Clinton (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)). Judicial Watch argues that “even though the election is over, the news media and the public continue to monitor and follow the proceedings in this case.” A coalition of 19 news media organizations is already on record with the Court supporting public access to the videos.

The motion is opposed by the State Department, as well as Abedin, former State Department Director of Information Resource Management of the Executive Secretariat John Bentel (who took the Fifth Amendment in response to questions at his deposition); Cheryl D. Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff throughout her four years as secretary of state; and Bryan Pagliano, State Department Schedule C employee who has been reported to have serviced and maintained the server that hosted the “clintonemail.com” system. Pagliano also asserted his Fifth Amendment right in refusing to answer questions in his deposition in this case.

Judicial Watch argues:

[T]he Court has stated, “The public has a right to know details related to the creation, purpose and use of the clintonemail.com system.”

Because the public has a right to know, the audiovisual recordings of the depositions in this case must be unsealed. The sole reason for sealing the recordings in the first place was to avoid their misuse during the 2016 campaign season. Now that the election is over that reason no longer exists.

Prior to her deposition, Mills moved for a court seal on the audiovisual recordings of her deposition. Subsequently, the court granted Ms. Mills’ motion and also sealed the audiovisual recordings of all depositions until further notice.

“The public and the media have a right to see these deposition videos of top officials from the Clinton State Department,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The courts and the continued work of Judicial Watch is clearly the only hope of bringing sunlight into the Clinton email issue and completing the public record.”

My recollection is that there was no recording of the Clinton deposition.

FBI didn’t record Clinton interview, did not administer sworn oath

I don't think that the FBI even made her take an oath. Many FBI agents were upset because no one collected all of Hillary's computers or phones that she would have communicated on.
Or did you mean JW's? She answered their questions on paper
That Abedin, Mills and others were being paid by the state department and other organizations at the same time was a conflict of interest, IMO.
Mills met with Bill 30 times in Haiti coordinating the reconstruction of Haiti and making sure that the election went Hillary's way.
They have screwed over the Haitians 9 ways to Sunday.
People are still living in tents 7 years after the earthquake and all reconstruction projects went to the companies who donated to their foundation and they brought in their own workers instead of hiring Haitians.
Haiti is a cash cow for them, yet nobody has investigated them. Of course.

Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.

I can't imagine she could have been bothered to do so.

For Haiti alone, a level of Hell has been made up for them.

If I remember correctly, all women who didn't vote for her will be there also.
If there is a hell, I want to be there to watch that deplorable fest.

Hey, I'm going to be selling marshmallows to toast over her - anyone want to form a partnership?

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

As the dust begins to settle after this macabre election, I'm looking forward to seeing the continuing saga of Clinton Inc. to pick up where it left off. Soon the congressional committee and Jason Chavetts will continue where they left off and we can start to finally figure out the level of Clinton Inc. corruption. We still have the foundation to investigate and I'm sure the republicans can't wait to dive into that end of the pool.

Hillary, and many of supporters, thought this was nothing more than trying to damage her presidential campaign. They are about to find out, that there is much more to it than they imagined. I say, bring it on!!!

I suspect, however, that the investigations in Congress will likely fizzle. I think JW (and possibly Wikileaks) will likely be responsible for most of what ends up coming out.

Even though this might be only to distract from Trump - although Trump's nonsense might be aimed at continuing a 'greater evil' role for him, on the hope that that Hillary being successfully cheated in after all might not be met with the necessary riots to keep that particular warmongering psychopathic traitor out of the White House to personally drain the country, people and world for the paymasters sharing some fraction of their gains with her. She'd have the world nuked into a dead planet in no time anyway, if Obama doesn't do it first - or Trump's/Pence's lot 2nd.

... My recollection is that there was no recofding of the Clinton deposition.

Hot damn, you mean that mass of corruption actually lied even more about the Clintons than we already knew/guessed about? Congrats to them, I wouldn't have thought it possible, if I hadn't learnt that the Bush/Obama/Clinton-related et al (including back-dated through previous US administrations) lies have been endless, for apparently ever.
