In reply to the discussion: Judge orders Hillary Clinton deposition in email flap [View all]StevieM
(10,500 posts)22. This is actually kind of terrifying for a couple of reasons.
First, Royce Lamberth is long time partisan Republican activist. He has long used his position to help Republican politicians and to hurt Democrats.
Second, it is absurd that a right wing organization like Judicial Watch could be given standing in this matter, much less the right to depose a former Secretary of State.
Royce Lamberth, like William Barr, is properly identified as a fascist.
I hope this decision can be appealed. It is an absurd legal ruling.
