Judicial watch were behind the impeachment of Bill Clinton for a b.j. and pushing
for Obama's "long form birth certificate" after the State of Hawaii released Barack
Obama short form birth certificate. They are a right wing witch hunting group but
that does not stop Joe Scarborough and CNN from pushing their lies every morning.


Judicial Watch's Pursuit of Clinton Goes Too Far

The Clintons have been subject to fishing expeditions before, but why is a federal court making Hillary Clinton give sworn responses now to questions about her use of a private e-mail server back when she was secretary of state? This all stems from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by a conservative group seeking State Department information about Clinton’s aide Huma Abedin. With a series of permissive rulings, the judge has allowed the suit to get out of hand. It’s now an inquiry into Clinton’s motives in using her private server -- something well beyond the contemplation of the freedom of information laws.

Judicial Watch, which initiated the suit, is a founding member of Hillary Clinton’s “vast right-wing conspiracy.” Founded by the lawyer Larry Klayman and given early funding by conservative billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife (remember him?), it brought some choice lawsuits against Bill Clinton back in the 1990s. Its favored method is the FOIA suit.

The latest iteration was filed in 2013 against the State Department, seeking information about the employment of Abedin, at one time Clinton’s deputy chief of staff at State and a magnet for Clinton conspiracy theorists.

That’s how the current suit started -- and for a moment, ended. After the State Department gave Judicial Watch the documents it was seeking, the two sides agreed to have the case dismissed in 2014.
