Days before the fifth-year anniversary of the terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya that killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens, a federal judge ruled that jurors at the trial of Libyan radical Islamist Ahmed Abu Khattala, charged with organizing the September 11, 2012 assault, cannot be told information that may prove he threatened to murder one of Stevens’s successor, Politico reported.
Khattala’s trial is expected to happen later this month in Washington, D.C. U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper prevented prosecutors from showing evidence to jurors that proves Khattala communicated to an ally about murdering the other U.S. ambassador in retaliation for the U.S.’s capture of another Libyan Islamist in 2012, Abu Anas Al-Libi.
Other American casualties of the Benghazi attack include diplomat Sean Smith and CIA security contractors Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.

Why am I not surprised??
Protecting Obama from selling rockets to terrorists
Cooper is an anti-American, leftwing, activist judge appointed by 0bama.
That’s ok, at least we can seat assured that the Republicans on the hill will, Do nothing at all...
That DC Circuit really rocks, doesn’t it. To be expected, and should rock on up to an appeal at the Supreme Court.
Transparency is dead in the USA, as protecting Leftists requires, as its first order of conduct, protection at all costs, to include judicial lawlessness.
WINNING!!! Oh wait ...
What happened to law and justice? Withhold incriminating evidence directed by a judge who took an oath to uphold justice?
At age 83, I am amazed at court decisions. Perhaps it has always been
this way and I was too naive to recognize it.
Once upon a time in America there was a tree and rope to be used at high noon.
This combined with your other thread(Susan Rice/Gowdy) shows all is well in the Swamp. Circling the wagons by all sides. Reps & Dems having a circle jerk while the USA burns.
Judge Cooper, an African American, is known as something of a flake.
For the judge wanting to withhold evidence? Craziest thing I ever heard of. How is anyone supposed to get a free trial when evidence is withheld? Seems to me that this makes the judge a co-conspirator.
