Stephen Mull is the third deposition released by Judicial Watch in the ongoing FOIA avoidance investigation behind Hillary Clinton’s home-brewed email server and subversive communication system intended to hide communication.

• Cheryl Mills deposition is HERE
• Lewis Luken’s deposition is HERE

This Mull deposition is a long transcript with multiple objections by Team Clinton, 108 noted so far, and it’s taking some time to review in its entirety and take notes.
The Clinton lawyers are very twitchy about Mull’s communication with Huma Abedin.
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released the deposition transcript of Ambassador Stephen D. Mull, executive secretary of the State Department from June 2010 to October 2012, who suggested that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton be issued a State Department BlackBerry, which would protect her identity and would also be subject to FOIA requests.
Ambassador Mull now serves as the State Department’s lead coordinator for Iran nuclear implementation.

Scott Adams is a really smart man.  As a wise person he is also adverse to bruising, compound fractures, and anything that potentially removes flesh.  Mr. Adams appreciates his flesh. Skin is not something he favors having penetrated. Skin is a nice thing to have.
As Mr. Adams contemplates the possibilities of his vote amid 2016 presidential politics, he determines it is better to be more like David Souter than Antonin Scalia:

[…] So I’ve decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for President, for my personal safety. Trump supporters don’t have any bad feelings about patriotic Americans such as myself, so I’ll be safe from that crowd. But Clinton supporters have convinced me – and here I am being 100% serious – that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump. So I’m taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.  (read more)

Sheriff David Clark discusses the recent violence in San Jose California: “these are not protesters”…

San Jose Police Chief Garcia tries to justify his department’s lack of action with hollow promises and numerous excuses…

The Federal Judge, Sullivan, overseeing the Judicial Watch lawsuit against the State Department, has requested that former Hillary Clinton Information Technology officer, Bryan Pagliano, explain the reasoning behind his intent to invoke Fifth Amendment protections in a non-criminal inquiry/deposition the judge previously ordered.

Lawyers for Bryan Pagliano previously asserted his intent to avoid answering questions in the court ordered deposition. Judge Sullivan apparently wants to know the details of the current immunity protection covering Pagliano as promised by the FBI investigators. (more…)

No one exposes the real political danger behind hidden ideological alignments as good as Donald Trump.  The beating of the Trump supporters in San Jose last night, and the responses, highlight a case in point.

What do Nikki Haley, Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, and Brad Thor have in common?  They are all on the same page blaming Donald Trump for not accepting the physical beatings that come with expressions of free speech and challenging the orthodoxy of their political views.
Each of these voices in their own way telling Trump, and by extension his supporters, to shut up and sit down; failure to do so will result in your beating.  Trump has a remarkable way of drawing out the pervasive progressive and culturally Marxist beliefs.
If you need further affirmation of Trump’s ability to spotlight the anti-American sentiments that underpin the majority of the political opposition, you only need to reference this little *hidden* snippet about San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo. [Those of you familiar with the DOJ Community Relations Service agenda will immediately spot the tell]: (more…)

I’m sticking this prior post with updates to the top of the page because many people are missing the scope of the leftist panic to the sunlight provided by the San Jose fiasco:
You know the phones in DC are burning up with panicked leftists when ABC actually broadcasts this news segment on Good Morning America.

How panicked are the professional left? VERY.

They, and “they” includes DOJ-CRS Head Grande Lum, are just beginning to understand how much more politically effective Donald Trump is as their adversary. Trump is using their own strategies against them.  They do not have a playbook to defend against sunlight on their own behavior.
Update:  ♦  The San Jose Police Chief has admitted to allowing the Trump supporters to be attacked.  Chief Garcia is now trying to justify his decision.  Read the comments section HERE to see the scope of the backlash in CA.
♦ President Obama is now quickly trying to distance his political supporters from their violence and requesting they stop: “We saw in San Jose these protesters starting to pelt stuff on Trump supporters. That’s not what our democracy is about. That’s not what you do. There’s no room for violence” (LINK)
♦ A California CBS Broadcaster Issues a public apology – SEE HERE
♦ The Democrat San Jose Mayor was summoned to Washington DC because his plan to allow Trump supporters to be attacked has backfired on the Democrat Presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton.  The professional left realizes how they are being exposed.  They understand the risk. They are panicked…

Against Hillary Clinton making ridiculous assertions about the Trump University lawsuit, the development of her former Information Technology aide seeking a protective order to avoid deposition is, well, beyond laughable.

Brian Pagliano, Hillary Clinton’s IT specialist who set up the home-brewed email server, is now seeking an emergency protective order to keep recordings away from his deposition, and further claiming he will invoke his fifth amendment rights and not answer questions.
Here’s a pdf of the court filing:

Apparently, Mr. Pagliano doesn’t like the thought of being on the receiving end of the Vince Foster treatment.

Today the State Department spokesman John Kirby admitted an official deliberately cut several minutes of tape from a 2013 news briefing dealing with U.S.-Iranian nuclear questions.
The Deletion – In a December 2nd 2013 press briefing, Fox reporter James Rosen asked Jen Psaki about the State Department’s denial of secret talks between Washington and Tehran. Those discussions had been periodically occurring, yet denied.  Psaki stated:  “There are times where diplomacy needs privacy.”
Rosen discussed the administration lies three weeks ago:

At the end of the video segment Rosen discusses how the State Dept removed his questioning on the video. The state department fired back that it was “a glitch”. However, today Kirby admitted it was intentionally and deliberately done. (more…)

Judicial Watch has just released the deposition transcript of Hillary Clinton’s Chief of Staff, Ms. Cheryl Mills:

“I don’t know that I could articulate that there was a specific discussion as opposed to her continuation of the practice she had been using when she was a Senator. … I don’t have a specific memory of the conversations that may or may not have occurred. I know that I understood she was going to be using her personal email and that’s what she did.” [page 45]

“when she was a Senator“?  A “Senator“.  Oopsies.

Cheryl Mills testimony covered Clinton’s use of emails; whether FOIA searches were done of Clinton emails, information about the set-up of the Clinton email server; Mills’ communication with Clinton email witness Bryan Pagliano; Mills’ involvement in prior Clinton email controversies; and the handling of politically sensitive FOIA responses.  Mills’ attorneys directed her not to answer many questions.

During one part of the deposition Cheryl Mills admits that none of the Clinton email was able to be captured by FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests, because the State Department did not have access.  Excerpt: (more…)

Orange really IS the new black.

A Rasmussen Poll released today shows 50% of the electorate believe Hillary Clinton should continue running for President even if she is under federal indictment.  Perhaps even more stunning is that 71% of Democrats think she should keep running if charged with a felony.

(Rasmussen) Most continue to believe likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is a lawbreaker, but half of all voters also say a felony indictment shouldn’t stop her campaign for the presidency.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 43% of Likely U.S. Voters think Clinton should immediately stop campaigning if she is charged with a felony in connection with her use of a private e-mail server while secretary of State. Fifty percent (50%), however, think she should continue running until a court determines her guilt or innocence. (more…)
