First characterization of Amb. Stephen Mull deposition to court in FOIA matter.


Friday was the deposition in the FOIA case of Amb. Stephen Mull, a former executive administrative official under Clinton. Mull’s testimony transcript should be released on Monday. Despite his being the responsible supervising official in Clinton’s office for document retention and FOIA responses, Amb. Mull claims not to have known anything about her email system. Even today, he refused to cast “judgment” (as he put it) on whether Clinton used her non-State.gov email account to conduct government business.

Members of the hostile witness club
are nervously shuffling their notes
back and forth in palm-sweating,
sleep-deprived 'review' sessions conducted by
General Burkhalter.


Are they ready for the big show?
Palm notes stenciled clearly?
Have they perfected the far away look
of pensive reflection?
The eye-to-eye gaze of honest, concerned resolve?
Can the center hold...
or are they all going to prison?
To find out, tune in next week for another
exciting episode!!

Do you write voice overs for soap operas? I could almost hear the organ music in the background.

Real talent there, pal.

server--she had no government email account--and the guy responsible for overseeing document retention didn't know about it? How can that be possible? Did he think she did no email at all? If so, where's the paper she handled? And what about her subordinates, who also used the private server? Didn't he think it was odd that no one directly under Clinton was using .gov accounts for their work email?

ignored? this guy is so disempowered he dared not question the mighty sos and her staff? i hope he has his own legal counsel and not one of the clinton's well chaperoned personal legal staff.

The good servant has been rewarded with an Ambassadorship for his discretion and service to his liege. Gilbert & Sullivan knew how the game is played. Get with the program It pays to be "blindly" devoted.

I'm almost embarrassed to be a Democrat......hell I'm embarrassed to be an American.

Goes to show, the more money and power you have, the more sleaze you're allowed to get away with.

If this whole mess happened to a mere worker bee, we'd be arrested, tried, fined and may serve some time.

I am thoroughly sick of the hypocrisy and the stench of corruption.
