Judge orders video of testimony of Clinton aides sealed

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/may/26/hillary-clinton-emails-judge-orders-video-cheryl-m

A federal judge on Thursday ordered that the videotape of Hillary Clinton’s former chief of staff giving a deposition later this week be sealed so it can’t be used in political attacks against the former secretary of state and likely Democratic presidential nominee.

Judge Emmett G. Sullivan said the transcript will be made public, so the public will know what Cheryl Mills says. He said it was “unnecessary” to have the video released.

He extended that order to all of the depositions being taken in the open-records case, which also applies to Mrs. Clinton’s closest personal aide, Huma Abedin.

Neither Ms. Mills nor Ms. Abedin cooperated with the State Department’s own internal probe, which concluded that they helped Mrs. Clinton shield her email system from public disclosure laws.

it's crucial to get the transcripts out there. Judicial Watch was going for the jugular which only causes it's opponents to think of them as RW Freaks.

Sullivan ruled wisely because he doesn't want this case to be considered a "Right Wing Smear."

He has bigger thoughts or he wouldn't have ruled the way he did. This isn't the hyperbolic "Gowdy against Hillary" fiasco that the RW usually does and Sullivan didn't want his rulings to be seen as some RW Conspiracy against Hillary.

The RW always OverReaches. Good they got a Smack Down....and now let's GET TO THE FACTS!
