LAWYER: CLINTON ALREADY ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION ON EMAIL USE
Source: AP
Hillary Clinton's lawyer told a federal judge Monday that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has already answered enough questions about her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.
If allowed, a videotaped sworn deposition by Clinton would likely become fodder for attack ads in the presidential race. Republican officials have said repeatedly they plan to hammer the issue of her emails through the November election.
Kendall told U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan that Clinton has previously testified under oath before the congressional committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks and was interviewed for hours as part of the FBI's recently closed criminal investigation. Both times Clinton said her choice to use a private server located in the basement of her New York home was motivated by convenience, not any attempt to thwart potential public-records requests.
Kendall said further questioning would be "futile."

Please note that I copied and pasted the headline and didn't use caplock
I can't see this happening as like the article says. It will only be fodder for the Republicans. Also the case law that Kendall mentioned was interesting.

a matter that has been adjudicated by a competent court and may not be pursued further by the same parties.
Except that the Congress isn't a court and they certainly are not competent, otherwise, how many times are they going to go over it?
