A federal judge on Friday ordered Hillary Clinton to provide written testimony under oath about why she set up a private computer server to send and receive emails while secretary of state, ensuring that the issue will continue to dog her presidential campaign until the eve of the election.

In a brief ruling issued on Friday afternoon, the judge, Emmet G. Sullivan of Federal District Court in Washington, approved a motion by the conservative advocacy organization Judicial Watch to pursue its vigorous campaign to expose Mrs. Clinton's use of the private server. In addition to requiring her testimony in writing, the judge allowed the group to depose a senior State Department aide who had warned two subordinates not to question her email practices.

Only six weeks ago, the director of the F.B.I., James B. Comey Jr., declined to recommend prosecuting Mrs. Clinton, saying that while her actions had been careless, they did not amount to a crime. Yet the controversy refuses to dissipate. This week, the bureau turned over to Congress the documents it compiled in the case, including a three-and-a-half hour interview with Mrs. Clinton, even as Republicans in Congress pressed their public case for her to be charged with perjury.

    Go to Fark and say something disparaging about HRC. You'll get 5-10 jerks telling you how stupid you are within the hour.

    Even there, they'll start off with assuming you must be a Trump supporter, then start attacking you on that basis. Same with that green site. Generally speaking, they'll try to deflect the discussion away from Clinton as much as possible, making it hard to classify them as Clinton supporters.

    It's actually rather difficult to find an Clinton supporter who's enthusiastic about their candidate, and talks her up as much as possible (obvious trolls aside). That's not true for Bernie Sanders, or Trump for that matter.
