13. Judge Sullivan just explicitly opened the door & time frame is set

This FOIA suit is "scheduled to be wrapped up by end of June" which means all depositions will be sooner rather than later. They tried to combine depositions for the 2 FOIA act suits in discovery, and he said no. And there is email evidence of the attempt to avoid FOIA. The article includes a copy of Judge Sullivans order. Btw, currently there are 38 FOIA lawsuits involving Clinton, 2 of which are in discovery. Also note that Sullivan is an Clinton appointee & was the 1st to grant discovery. I'm sure you understand that the FOIA lawsuits are separate from the FBI investigation, although their evidence can be used in any FBI case.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia laid out the ground rules for interviewing multiple State Department officials about the emails, with an eye toward finishing the depositions in the weeks before the party nominating conventions.

Based on information learned during discovery, the deposition of Mrs. Clinton may be necessary,” Sullivan said in an order on Wednesday.

In his order, Sullivan pointed to revelations from the emails appearing to show officials trying to evade demands of FOIA.

In one email, for instance, Mull told Abedin that Clinton’s emails “would be subject to FOIA requests” if she used a department-issued BlackBerry, even though her identity would remain secret.

Abedin responded that the idea “doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.”
