Wait Wait Wait... I thought Cheryl Mills was Hillary's Attorney regarding her Server!?!

Whoopsies. Guess that was just bullshit to get out of testifying about it.

Wish the FBI interview transcripts with Cheryl Mills were public... I bet that argument fell flat on it's face.

Let's be honest, we all know Cheryl Mills claiming attorney-client privilege is a cover-up. Which makes it an invalid argument to avoid testifying. I suspect Judge Sullivan will force her hand on this.

1. You can have more than one attorney nt

[berni_mccoy]

2. Certainly, but we know why Mills is making this claim. And it's obvious bullshit.

6. Hillary gets her law license back, she's is Mills' lawyer.. they start a Circumlocution Law Office

4. I suspect

Mills was one of the attorneys who Clinton "directed to delete all my personal emails." And I believe the FBI tried to ask her about how they decided what was turned over. That's what I believe triggered her walking out. I may be reading some more into this but Clinton originally said she had her lawyers decide what was personal and what was private. I thought that was odd personally because no lawyer I know would do shit like that for you because their is too much at stake legally. It might make more sense that trusted aid Mills would be willing to do that but if I were Mills, I'd be worry that I was going to be "Scooter Libbyy'ed."

"The off-limits questions reportedly concerned the way in which emails were given to the State Department to be distributed to the public."

10. Mills is an attorney, until she's a co-conspirator.

The FBI already has much testimony. If Mills is tied to the establishment of the server, or a coverup, the attorney-client priviledge is lost and she can be charged with crimes too.

11. Well, we always hear the FBI only asks questions they know the answer to...

5. You're so hyper you don't even read what you post.

Mills said CLINTON is under no obligation to give an interview. What the hell does attorney-client privilege have to do with it?

7. Mills has refused to discuss certain matters based on attorney-client privilege

[randome]

8. That's not what the OP is about, though.

At the very least, poster is mixing up 2 different statements and issues. The first thread on this was enough, anyways. Poster is spamming the board with duplicate posts.

9. the point is that she has firmly established her position as Hillary's attorney

this OP merely contrasts what we already know with this emphasis on a different attorney.

It is not "mixing up" anything.

12. Jeez give it up already Quixote

13. I know you claim to have read the transcripts, but nothing you post suggests that you did

For starters, Mills lawyers objected to questions more often because they exceeded the very narrow permitted scope of questioning under Judge Sullivan's order. And in most of those instances, her lawyers allowed Mills to testify. A smaller number of objections were based on attorney-client privilege and related to questions about information that Mills obtained while acting as Clinton's attorney after the private server became public and Mills was assisting Clinton in producing emails back to State.

You seem to think there is a smoking gun in Mills testimony, but the message that is delivered most clearly is that Mills has no reason to believe the private server was set up to prevent federal records from being produced in response to a FOIA request. Since this entire lawsuit is narrowly aimed at the issue of whether State did an adequate job responding to a 2013 Judicial Watch FOIA request targeting information about Huma Abedin, Mills testimony in that regard is not at all helpful to JW.

By the way, for anyone who wonders -- why was JW seeking information about Huma Abedin in 2013? Well, it had nothing to do with emails or private servers. It was part of the RW attempt to find anything to discredit Abedin who, as a Muslim-American born in Kalamazoo MI, clearly was an ISIS plant in the government. Or so the RW claimed.
