UPDATE:

• Judge Presiding Over the Fusion GPS Case Teaches and is Friends With… John Podesta

  

[Steven W.]

He has taken on HRC / Obama State Dept. before: Judge slams State Department over Hillary Clinton-related records - "Do Have it by next week. Have it by next week when we have our hearing. Do you hear me?" ...

A lawyer for the AP, Jay Ward Brown, told Leon that the wire service was trying to find out what Abedin did during her time as a "special government employee." However, the judge was also curious about what Abedin does currently.

He told Obama lawyer:

"What you just said, Ms. Olson, made no sense," the judge replied. "You're failing to distinguish between documents created by the State Department independently of Hillary Clinton's emails — with Hillary Clinton's emails. And you're giving me some kind of convoluted gobbledygook. about how the emails contain within them the independently created documents relating to Huma Abedin's appointment as a special government counsel. ...That is nonsensical." ... "Where is she now, this Huma person? ... Did you Google her? ... Have you done LinkedIn?", "You've got to check out on the social-media scene to see what she's doing."
