A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ordered Hillary Clinton to provide Judicial Watch, a conservative advocacy group, with written answers to questions about why she set up the private email server that she used during her tenure as secretary of state. Here are some of the questions the group proposed to have Clinton answer:

• “Why Secretary Clinton chose to create the clinton-?email.com system to conduct official government business instead of using an official State Department email account?”

• Why after repeated technical issues and hacking attempts Clinton “chose to continue using this flawed, frustrating, non-secure system for her official State Department emails, as well as what she meant about not ‘want(ing) any risk of the personal being accessible.’ ”

• “Whether Secretary Clinton claimed any personal right or exclusive control over the emails on the clintonemail.com system, and whether the State Department maintained constructive control or, conversely, ceded control over the emails on the system.”

• What Clinton “understood her obligations to be with ?respect to official State Department records when she left ?office and why record management officials apparently were not advised about official, government records on the clinton­email.com system when the secretary transitioned out of the department, especially given the very limited amount of materials that were allowed to be taken and the strict protocols in place to preserve federal records and federal property?”
