Senior Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills and her lawyer walked out of a recent interview with the FBI about Clinton's private email system after an investigator asked a question Mills believed to be off limits, according to a published report.
The Washington Post said that Mills and her lawyer, Beth Wilkinson, returned to the interview room after a brief absence. However, the Post reported that Mills and Wilkinson asked for breaks during the interview to confer more than once.
According to the paper, the FBI investigator's questions that caused Mills and Wilkinson to walk out were related to the procedure used to produce emails for possible public release by the State Department. Mills ultimately did not answer questions about it because her attorney and Justice Department prosecutors deemed it confidential under attorney-client privilege.

Made it sound like she only had to go to the potty.
Guilt!
“Confer” is the excuse written in the article. I thought her lawyer was in the meeting with her already? The lawyer could have voiced objection, etc.
The “confer” wasn’t for her lawyer; it was to ‘confer’ with Hillary Clinton or her handler/lawyer.
I read this yesterday, and I wondered why they would do that.
Mills is an employee of the US government. She's not Clinton's attorney.
If she is ALSO Clinton's attorney, that would seem to be a serious conflict of interest.
She is in it up to her hairline!
I’d bet that she winds up being “found somehwere secluded in a nasty patch of weeds like Vince Foster”, very soon.
They had to discuss what to say. Will Hillary bring her team of lawyers too?
Ding ding ding
Better get their “stories” straight...
Wilkinson is the lawyer who set up her own law firm last year and immediately started representing four of Hillary’s aides including Mills. Mills is also a lawyer.
Suggestion by Peter Schweizer on FOX is that investigators wanted to know the motivation for setting up private server. I have given my private clip to FBI, Justice, and Gowdy’s committee. I hope they confronted her with this:

Of course, she set up private server to avoid FOIA and be able to hide info and delete as necessary. She admitted on tape in my clip from 2000 that she was afraid of investigations.
Yes, I know that. But, just being a lawyer doesn't automatically mean that you have an attorney-client privilege with every person you know.
In order for Mills to claim attorney-client privilege with Clinton, she has to represent Clinton as a client. But, Mills is a State Dept. employee. Representing Clinton and being an employee of the US government at the same time, especially pertaining to US government business, appears to be a serious conflict of interest.
The only think I can think of is that the Clinton-Mills relationship in the past was as an attorney-client even when they were both employed by the state department.
Oh for Pete’s sake, she’s fleeing the interview! She’s fleeing the interview!
Meet me in ladies room.
Well this pretty much blows a huge hole in Hillary’s public line that she and her staff are cooperating fully in the...cough...cough...”security review” and have nothing to hide and want to get to the bottom of any possible security issues as much as the FBI. Lawyering up and stomping out of FBI interviews doesn’t sound much like full cooperation, not that anybody with more than two brain cells to rub together believed Hillary anyway.
When you get paid by the people of the United States then you are subject to their questions about your performance.
Period.
Even if you don’t work for them now.
And I include every elected politician and every judge and every political appointee in that.
Affirmative action in FBI interview...quota system...a cultural thing...racism...
I wonder if I, a middle class, middle age, married white male would get the same “consideration” during an FBI interview.
Doubt it.
Whatever she did, she did it with the “understanding” of Obama (more likely president Jarrett).
Both sides thought themselves too clever, one side probably thought it could be used as a millstone around Hillary’s neck for future favors.
