A federal judge has reopened an open-records case trying to pry loose some of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s emails, marking the first time a court has taken action on the email scandal.
Judge Reggie B. Walton agreed Friday to a joint request by the State Department and Judicial Watch, which sued in 2012 to get a look at some of Mrs. Clinton’s documents concerning a public relations push.
Both sides agreed that the revelation that Mrs. Clinton had kept her own email server separate from the government, and exclusively used her own email account created on that server, meant that she had shielded her messages from valid open-records requests.
Now that she has belatedly turned some emails over, the government offered — and Judge Walton confirmed in his ruling — that the agency should search them all to see whether any should have been released to Judicial Watch.
“This is the first case that’s been reopened,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said Friday. “It’s a significant development. It points to the fraud by this administration and Mrs. Clinton.”
Judicial Watch has filed a series of open-records requests seeking State Department emails and, when the administration failed to comply, has gone to court to force them. Just last week Judicial Watch filed a new batch of eight lawsuits trying to shake loose some of the secret emails, and said that was just the first round

I think Bernie Sanders is up to bat next, at least he is honest enough to admit to being a socialist.
Then you got crazy uncle Joe, second only to Bill in laying hands on women.
Or maybe the dems just give Barry a third term.

In a sweeping interview Sunday on CBS’s ‘Face the Nation,’ Vermont Senator and 2016 hopeful Bernie Sanders defiantly told Bob Schieffer that he can beat Hillary Clinton.
“The answer is yes,” Sanders responded to Schieffer’s questioning if the senator “really” thought he could pull it off.
Sanders cited “massive dissatisfaction” with “corporate establishment and the greed of corporate America” as the major reason voters would turn to him over Hillary.
The senator, who called himself “the most progressive member of the United States Senate,” positioned himself to the left of Clinton on a whole host of issues including campaign finance, foreign policy and climate change.

Re: As the worm turns
Hillary is definitely not "out."
As of right now, there is no chance for anyone other than her to be the Dem nominee.
