In the capital, U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan issued the following order against Hillary:
As agreed by the parties at the July 31, 2015 status hearing, the Government shall produce a copy of the letters sent by the State Department to Mrs. Hillary Clinton, Ms. Huma Abedin, and Ms. Cheryl Mills regarding the collection of government records in their possession.
These communications shall be posted on the docket forthwith. The Government has also agreed to share with Plaintiff’s counsel the responses sent by Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Abedin, and Ms. Mills. These communications shall also be posted on the docket forthwith.
In addition, as related to Judicial Watch’s FOIA requests in this case, the Government is HEREBY ORDERED to:
(1) identify any and all servers, accounts, hard drives, or other devices currently in the possession or control of the State Department or otherwise that may contain responsive information;The Government shall inform the Court of the status of its compliance with this Order no later than August 7, 2015, including any response received from Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Abedin and Ms. Mills. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on July 31, 2015.
(2) request that the above named individuals confirm, under penalty of perjury, that they have produced all responsive information that was or is in their possession as a result of their employment at the State Department. If all such information has not yet been produced, the Government shall request the above named individuals produce the information forthwith; and
(3) request that the above named individuals describe, under penalty of perjury, the extent to which Ms. Abedin and Ms. Mills used Mrs. Clinton’s email server to conduct official government business.
In California Judge William Orrick, a federal judge in San Francisco who was a big Democratic donor and Obama campaign fund bundler (and nominee for his judgeship), upon the application of the National Abortion Federation blocked the release of any recordings (there are said to be 8-10 more than those already released) made at meetings of abortion providers by the Center for Medical Progress, saying that the Federation would likely suffer irreparable injury absent a temporary restraining order. His action follows a similar order issued in Los Angeles earlier this week.
It’s far from clear these orders are sustainable under the Constitution’s prohibition on prior restraint of speech. In any event, I think there’s nothing to stop a Congressional Committee from subpoenaing copies and playing them on the floor of the House or for any third parties with control of the videos to release them. So we can be sure the damage will continue on into fall.
Clearly, the organization and its allies understand that these videos are serious threats to its continued existence and government funding.
Both the e mail scandal and Planned Parenthood orders underscore the perilous position of the Democratic party whose “inevitable” nominee has been hit by a never-ending serious of scandals and gaffes and whose principle supporters seem to be either disaffected or, in the case of Planned Parenthood, on the ropes themselves.
It’s an ill wind that blows no good though, and as the storm ended, a water-splattered memo to the DNC was blown onto my front doorstep.
I couldn’t make out the author’s name and the letterhead was too smudged for me to be certain of the sender, but it was printed on very expensive stationery so I assume it was one of the many well-compensated pollsters and political advisers who dot our neighborhood.
The body of the memo reads:
Let’s be honest with ourselves. Hillary is tanking and we need to find a replacement. I know this sounds shocking -- and certainly you’ve been considering throwing your support behind Joe Biden -- but I think we should enlist Donald Trump as our nominee.The full article is posted at the American Thinker.
