Six years after the drama regarding former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton's private email server began, it turns out she won't have to
testify about it in one of the last remaining cases involving its
contents.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to allow the former first lady and
2016 Democrat standard-bearer to be deposed in a lawsuit brought by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, The Washington Times reported.

It would have taken four justices on the court to take up the case. Even
with a conservative majority, the motion couldn't get the nod.

Judicial Watch had sought to depose Clinton as part of an ongoing Freedom
of Information Act lawsuit requesting her emails regarding the 2012 attack
on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

In a news release Monday, the group said "the Supreme Court should hear
its case because the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit erred in undermining the Freedom of Information Act in giving
Clinton unwarranted special treatment that conflicts both with Supreme
Court precedent and the precedents of other courts of appeal, including
its own."

"Hillary Clinton ignored the law but received special protection from both
the courts and law enforcement," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said
in a statement.

"For countless Americans, this double standard of justice has destroyed confidence in the fair administration of justice," Fitton said. "Americans would never have known about Hillary Clinton’s email and related pay for
play scandals but for Judicial Watch’s diligence.

"We expect that the Biden State and Justice Departments will continue to protect her and cover up their own misconduct as we press for additional accountability through the courts."

Clinton's habit of keeping her own email server and address separate from
her official State Department email during her tenure as secretary of
state only came to light in 2015, according to a timeline of events by
CNN.

Clinton claimed it was only for personal correspondence and the 30,000
emails that were deleted from the server weren't of importance. She also
said that no classified information had been transmitted through the
server.

Those stories began to crumble rapidly, and in January 2016, Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III confirmed that
emails marked classified -- including those marked "top secret," the
highest level of classification -- were found on the server.

The investigation was closed that July and reopened in October 2016, all because of FBI Director James Comey. (In the latter case, additional
emails that hadn't been turned over were found on the laptop of disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose wife, Huma Abedin, was a top Clinton
aide.)

Clintonistas would blame this for her election loss, although it's worth
noting that if she didn't have a private email server designed to skirt
federal transparency rules requiring the preservation of emails on
government accounts, she wouldn't have been in that mess.

Judicial Watch's litigation goes all the way back to 2014, when the group
sued then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice.

Rice, first-runner-up in the Joe Biden veepstakes and current director of
the U.S. Domestic Policy Council in the Biden White House, was the public
face of the administration on the Sunday morning political chat shows in
the wake of the Benghazi attack, in which four Americans were killed.

During her appearances, Rice reiterated that the incident was the result
of a mob spurred on by a poorly produced anti-Islam video on YouTube. It
turned out that it was a coordinated attack by the terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia.

In the initial lawsuit, Judicial Watch asked for "[c]opies of any updates and/or talking points given to Ambassador Rice by the White House" and
"[a]ny and all records or communications concerning, regarding, or
relating to talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack given to Ambassador Rice by the White House."

The labyrinthine legal saga that followed eventually touched upon
Clinton's emails -- which, we learned on Monday, Judicial Watch won't be
able to depose her about.

Fitton has said the Justice and State Departments want to “shut the case completely down."

Critics, meanwhile, have pointed out that others have used private
servers.

"Though conservatives have attacked Clinton for her use of a private email server, numerous members of the Trump administration -- including Ivanka
Trump, Jared Kushner, advisor Stephen Miller and former White House Chief
of Staff Reince [Priebus] -- similarly used private email accounts and communication methods while in the White House," Allison Durkee wrote in Forbes.

The problem with that explanation is what got discussed on those accounts
isn't nearly as sensitive as what was on Clinton's server. Ivanka Trump
wasn't responsible for 30,000 deleted emails -- which, while not
necessarily the 17 minutes of erased Watergate tape, still casts a shadow
over Clinton's legacy. No classified information passed through those
accounts. There's been no private email scandal remotely on the level of Clinton's transparent attempt to skirt transparency laws.

And now it looks like she'll never have to talk about it if she doesn't
want to.
