A federal judge Monday granted a request from conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch to have former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sit for a sworn deposition to answer questions about her use of a private email server to conduct government business.
Clinton has argued that she has already answered questions about this and should not have to do so again, but D.C. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth said in his ruling that her past responses left much to be desired.
"As extensive as the existing record is, it does not sufficiently explain Secretary Clinton’s state of mind when she decided it would be an acceptable practice to set up and use a private server to conduct State Department business," Lamberth said.
The judge went on to recognize that while Clinton responded to written questions in a separate case, "those responses were either incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory at best. Simply put her responses left many more questions than answers.” Lamberth said that using written questions this time “will only muddle any understanding of Secretary Clinton’s state of mind and fail to capture the full picture, this delaying the final disposition of this case even further.”

If this actually comes to pass and she says anything more than, 'I don't remember', or, 'I plead the 5th', I'll be beyond shocked.

well now seems she will have to answer some questions that she is clearly uncomfortable with
she should have just told the truth in the first place

Your article is short on information.
Isn't Judicial Watch using FIOA for information? How do they possible have standing to order a former Secretary of State to sit for a deposition? For what purpose? What kind of case is pending?

It will never happen. And IF it does it will be with full immunity.

I think Trump needs to build the wall out of Hillarys emails because apparently no one can get over them.

"I don't recall"
Taking bets on how many times that answer is used.
