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.

Runaway, you're falling for the narrative again. The Presidency is a figurehead. If Trump is elected, HE won't be making policy; it'll be, as I've said several times before, just like when Dumbfuck McBusharse was in office. Meaning, the President will sit around shoving things up his nose to see which one fits best, while the creepy Dominionists and greedy corporatists use him as a convenient rubber stamp.
You're not voting for Trump; you're voting for 4-8 more years of Cheney et al., not to mention the prospect of anywhere from one to three SCOTUS nominees worse then Antonin may-he-rot-in-Hell Scalia.

'Yes Massah!' behind closed doors under threat of exposing his own secrets to his family/the public, or under threat of accidents to those he cares for most (be they within or without his legal family.)
People act like anybody high up the political tree still has any choice without ending their careers.

You're being silly with that. Trump isn't a neocon, he didn't belong to any secret fraternities of which Bush was a member.
