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."

Hey, old FRiend.
Finally!
Totally busted.
Totalled like a car under a steam roller.
Sure, they ‘gamed’ it legally, gave their toady immunity, but NOW the world sees these ...
STINKING RATS
... for WHAT THEY ARE!
This is just like Sandy Berger the Sloppy Sock Bandit.
Except this time we have specifics rather than missing docs.
I understand your frustration, FRiend.
But the primary goal is to expose these rats!
Then kick their tails on election day.
Judge Lamberth has been an heroic stalwart for many years... on the verge of retiring. 😢
***NOW the world sees these ... STINKING RATS ... for WHAT THEY ARE!***
Exposed! but not prosecuted. The devil is in the details.
MARANATHA!
Absolutely spot on. We sent DJT to the White House to drain the swamp. Until we see people fired, charged with their crimes, convicted, and jailed. our confidence in government remains close to zero.
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
The more we tear them up during this election the more options we will have in the future.
Benghazi BUMP!
How about run out of DC?
That’s good for starters.
If we win seats, they lose. If we lose too many seats ... guess what?
They win even more. And the USA loses everything.
Judges can say all they want. It is the Department of Justice that brings cases to court. At the federal level, if the DOJ and its FBI satrapy is corrupt the judicial system is hamstrung.
Yeah, they should send a referral to the Justice Department recommending prosecution.
SO WHAT! Unless there are severe, individual, consequences for lying to the court and engaging in a conspiracy to corrupt justice, this will continue and the Rats are rewarded.
And that right THERE is the crux of the issue. Until we get an AG willing to take out the entire conspiracy, nothing will happen.
Sessions is worse than useless. He’s frigging complicit.

No matter what happens with all of this, Tom Fitton and his people at Judicial Watch have been real heroes. They continue to give the anti-Trump conspiracy fits.
Don’t forget “and losing their government pensions.”
If the response to this isn’t complete scorched earth, it won’t make the decades-long impression on the bureaucracy that needs to be made.
No, because ultimately Hillary and Hussein would be implicated. Can’t have that.....
Cheryl Mills has committed MANY, MANY, MANY OTHER CRIMES!! She needs to be in PRISON!!
BINGO!! The people that GAVE her Immunity needs to be in QPRISON ALSQO!!
Mills is not a lawyer.
She is Hillary’s main shredder operator.
