A federal judge has ordered a search of the accounts of several Hillary Clinton aides, saying the State Department hadn’t done enough to try and track down emails sent pertaining to the Benghazi terrorist attack in 2012.
US District Court Judge Amit Mehta ordered the department to conduct a search of the accounts for three top aides, Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan.
The State Department never “searched the one records system over which it has always had control and that is almost certain to contain some responsive records,” Mehta wrote in the opinion.
He is referring to in-house emails sent and received via Hillary and her aides’ state.gov accounts.
Via Politico:
Nine months after the presidential election was decided, a federal judge is ordering the State Department to try again to find emails Hillary Clinton wrote about the Benghazi attack.
U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta ruled that the State Department had not done enough to try to track down messages Clinton may have sent about the assault on the U.S. diplomatic compound on Sept. 11, 2012 — an attack that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
…
In all, State found 348 Benghazi-related messages or documents that were sent to or from Clinton in a period of nearly five months after the attack.
However, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch argued that the search wasn’t good enough because State never tried to search its own systems for relevant messages in the official email accounts of Clinton’s top aides.
The judge agreed, saying the State Department has “an obligation to search its own server for responsive records,” he wrote.

“This major court ruling may finally result in more answers about the Benghazi scandal — and Hillary Clinton’s involvement in it — as we approach the attack’s fifth anniversary,” Fitton said.
Mehta was appointed to his seat by President Barack Obama in 2014.

Seven hours of testifying before congress, and that is not enough? Which one of the republicans who you voted for ever testified that long. During the Regan administration over 300 marines were killed and I didn’t see anyone testifying about that. She has been an advocate for women and children her whole life, she is smarter than anyone in congress .And as far as that jackass President Trump is concerned, all he ever did was go bankrupt and stiff people out of a lot of money. He is a big buffoon and he never thought in a million years anyone would be stupid to vote for him.
Good news. Can’t wait for the S—to hit the fan on Hillary. Meanwhile, the distraction will not detour Pres. Trump on his mission to retaliate to North Korea if he has to. So proud to have him stand up and take care of business. That little bantam rooster before him hid in the coop for 16 years. That is why we have this mess.
What’s the feds are waiting for? Killary Rotten should be, must be and will be imprisoned. She will not be able to pass it. Do your jobs federal pigs!
Trump and North Korea are sparing over nuclear weapons and possible attacks against Navy ships near N Korea and American bases in Guam.
And you want to distract us with Benghazi?
241 Americans died in the Beirut Barracks bombing, so President Reagan pulled the Marines out of Lebanon with their tail between their legs.
How about dragging that one out of the closet?
Hillary is so Evil and corrupt, not many people can keep . She belongs in prison for life.
She was WRONG. I will never forget what she and Obama did in Benghazi and the reason why they did it in the first place. Hillary wanted to look Presidential. Thank God she didn’t get her wish.
If you really want a good laugh about Killary, she wants to be a pastor now. Hahaha! If the Church of Satan doesn’t even want her there’s fat chance of that. Of course if the Catholic Church changes it’s policy about female priests she might get in there since she’s already a pedophile!
There is such an ingrained deep state corruption,I have lost any trust in justice any more.Obama was never vetted with his history in communism and Islam,Jarret came along and is still deep into the cause.She wanted Van Jones in the government to push the communist cause.America is moving toward that ideology,or it will be a combination of it and Islam.
Why are they not going after the Republicans in congras who denied funding Sec. Clinton wanted for the security for Benghazi?
My guess is John “Fraud” Kerry and his spawn, erased “those Emails”, but there probably is a backup in a filing cabinet, somewhere in W Virginia.
On the other hand, the Judge could just “ask” those who were aware of, for instance, the 600+ times Ambassador Stevens requested more security, but, guess, that would be too logical and easy to do?
If one of those four men who died were one of your family members you wouldn’t say that!
It’s like beating a “dead horse”again! There’s nothing new to be found and a “MASSIVE WASTE” of “TAXPAYER”S MONEY”!
I’m hopeful enough that this time she will receive her comeuppance. Loretta Lynch, Debbie Wasserman Shultz, Susan Rice, Huma and the rest of the lowlifes should be worried. If you do the crime, you do the time!
I agree wholeheartedly with what you say Charles.
Blah, blah, blah, blah. How many times have we ALL heard this story? The part they didn’t report on was how the prosecutors have already made her a plea deal where all she has to do is admit she broke the law and she’ll do no time in jail and ALL investigations against her will be permanently closed.
You bet. Even her appearance will improve with clusters of jail-house tats in conspicuous places.
Democrats politicians pander to liars, perverts of all stripes, criminals and the criminally intent, like themselves, reflected in their Fake News mongers and constituents. They always have. They are always after the money, labor, activism or property of others for nothing and they succeed.The only truly good President they ever came up with was President Truman.

Continuing going on 9 years and no indictments. Hundreds of incidents where laws were broken, rules were ignored, 5th was taken, subpoenas were either ignored or lies were told. Nothing done. Nada. Nyet. Nein. This all one big shell game to make the stupid American people think that, yeah, we actually do have a functioning government that is honest and hard working. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead we have one big gentlemen’s club (yes, corrupt ladies can join) where little to nothing is ever done that does not enhance one’s financial and power status. Can we send some of our best military navigators to show KIm Jung Insane how to pinpoint one of his ICBM’s on the Capitol Building. We just have to make sure that they are all in session when it hits.
Perhaps you could read the history of the Benghazi attacks. The first was after dark and one American was killed with the Ambassador missing. Except for the missing Ambassador, the entire contingent was evacuated to the Annex by Benghazi staff before midnight, where they spent the rest of the night.
The following morning two Americans on the roof of the Annex were hit by a mortar shell and killed. They and the rest of the staff were evacuated by American staff who had flown into Benghazi overnight. They were met and escorted by Libyan militia. At the airport they received the body of the Ambassador, and flew out of Benghazi.
There were no identified targets for any aerial attacks, and the support flown in from Tripoli together with the Libyan militia was sufficient to extract ALL of the Americans from Benghazi including our casualties.
Just what did you want done differently?
You might compare that event with the loss of Americans and the delay in their recovery in Mogadishu, Somalia. We had military units, air cover, tanks and APC’s, and it still took longer for the recovery.
You are totally right Gene! Benghazi was a total travesty & Stevens had pleaded numerous times for help in the days before he was killed. There were servicemen near enough who could have helped but definitely were told to stand down. I wouldn’t be surprised if Stevens was killed because he was following Hillary’s orders & she knew it could come back to her. Bet if Chelsea were killed like that the bi*^h wouldn’t have said “what difference does it matter now”. Stevens was violently raped before being killed & he & the other three men deserve justice & their families deserve the truth. These idiots who say “it’s like beating a dead horse” and a “waste of taxpayer money” should have to sit with the families of these four & say that to their faces.
I, for one, will never forget Benghazi. Help was available and told to stand down for Obama’s political position. No one left behind is a creed far beyond these politician’s ability to understand. Warriors live and die together. No one is left behind.
WELL, I GUESS IT’S: “BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!””
You are so right Charles & I’m sure most Americans would love to see the Hildabeast hang!!
I am still amazed that nothing has been done to the clinton crime family after Benghazi ! A US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was murder wile Hillary Rotten Clinton was US Secretary Of State ! She then blamed the attack on a video which was a flat out lie . She belongs hanging from a gallows for her TREASON !
SO tired of her slipping out of every criminal act she has committed. This has GOT to stop. She needs to be investigated until a grand jury finds enough evidence to have her indicted. This is such BS that has been going on for so long. She needs to be prosecuted and put in prison. We all know that, but NO ONE HAS THE GUTS TO DO IT. She should not be allowed to get away with all the things she has done. Just get this one to stick.
The State Dept will have lost or destroyed these by now.
As much as I dislike this woman I don’t see that she or her boss did anything illegal. Did they lie? Of course they did. Incompetent? Very much so. Were they hiding something ( gun running )? Very likely. At this stage of the game about the only thing investigating this will accomplish is throwing the last shovels of dirt onto her rotting body, which would be nice.
Great, hope this evil b*^ch finally gets what she deserves!! Orange is in style for her!
