In a combative exchange at a hearing Friday in Washington, D.C., a federal judge unabashedly accused career State Department officials of lying and signing "clearly false" affidavits to derail a series of lawsuits seeking information about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server and her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth said he was "shocked" and "dumbfounded" when he learned that FBI had granted immunity to former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills during its investigation into the use of Clinton's server, according to a court transcript of his remarks.
"I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case where I found her unworthy of belief, and I was quite shocked to find out she had been given immunity in by the Justice Department in the Hillary Clinton email case," Lamberth said during Friday's hearing.
The Department of Justice's Inspector General (IG), Michael Horowitz, noted in a bombshell report in June that it was "inconsistent with typical investigative strategy" for the FBI to allow Mills to sit in during the agency's interview of Clinton during the email probe, given that classified information traveled through Mills' personal email account. "[T]here are serious potential ramifications when one witness attends another witness' interview," the IG wrote.
On Friday, Lamberth, who was appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan, said he did not know Mills had been granted immunity until he "read the IG report and learned that and that she had accompanied [Clinton] to her interview."

In case you wondered why the Demagogic Party is so desperate to cling to power in the courts..
There is something dreadfully rotten in the proverbial state of Denmark
“State Dep’t” doesn’t draw a paycheck, people do. Find the names and fire them and charge them with crimes. Otherwise don’t bother mentioning it, we already know.
Big whoop. Nothing will come of this.
Lol... I don’t blame them. I’d do it too. All federal judges do is huff and puff, but nobody ever gets locked up. Why follow their rules if there aren’t any consequences?
How many times in the last 10 years have i read about how some federal judge was really angry at being ignored, lied to, tricked, etc?
But they never do a thing except say something barely scornful.
Shocked?! Well, enough to cancel the immunity deal?
But, will anything come from this.
Being shocked is one thing, charging people with crimes is what needs to happen.
“How many times in the last 10 years have i read about how some federal judge was really angry at being ignored, lied to, tricked, etc?

Unless of course it is to the socialists advantage from the 9th or Hawaii then it is law of the land......
The FBI HAD to grant immunity - because The Orange Man Is Bad.
Then, obviously, those people should be removed from employment and prosecuted criminally.
Wonder what he thinks about Mills, Abedin, et al, being granted immunity and then pleading the fifth and NOT answering the questions they were asked?! I thought immunity deals come with the stipulation that you HAVE to testify - but maybe that only applies to Republicans and Conservatives.
And they are all still free, most, or all, with good jobs, and thumbing their noses at us and the nation.
“I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case”
Given that a Judge gift wrapped the basis for an indictment against Mills to Sessions and he did nothing we can conclude again Sessions is the most incompetent and useless AG in history.
so now we see why HRC crashed into a wall today... another weak attempt to divert the news cycle from her dastardly deeds and pocahonkey’s dna story.
I think it is obvious that they are trying out for a female/ latino ticket with Castro...what a joke. No one is buying any of this.
If dems can’t even run one city correctly, or one state correctly... or one October surprise correctly... then why would anyone vote for them?
They are pathetic people that rely on deceit and “controlling the narrative” ... another term for lying in order to get people to vote for them.
I think people understand that opinions are the goal posts and truth is what happens in between. We know who is kneeling when the flag comes up before the game.
What a joke.
and over again but it never goes off!
and over again but it never goes off!
Mills is another unethical lawyer in the Clinton whore house and should be put under oath and grilled by the court and Congress. No immunity, no mercy. The bitch must go to jail. Take away her law license.
