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."

“Tom Fitton and his people at Judicial Watch have been real heroes.”
Absolutely. I hope Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh both offer him interviews. Judicial Watch gets very little attention.
The judge could have already started that process by declaring all of the State Dept liars in contempt of court and summarily jailing them. No balls, I guess.
Hmmmm... That was three years ago.. I guess they use a different kind of concrete in DC then we use in the rest of the country... It takes a while to set....
PS. Thanks for that Liz.. Your amazing..!
Beth Wilkinson... that’s a name popping up lately... Good Democrats all.
The FBI had to grant immunity because Hitlery Rotten Clinton had to win at all costs and they knew that if they lose they will all hang together for their crimes against this nation.
I was debating with a lib from MN on Twitter. She is for socialism. I told her Venezuela is socialist, she needs to go there. She said that they were not socialist, they were a dictatorship like Denmark, Sweden, Finland and CANADA! And she lives in Minnesota...…… lol what an idiot.
btt
Yes we all know what should be done, but what is missing is someone who will do it. Lets face it, no one on our side wants to probe too deeply into the democrats in case democrats take over and do the same to them at a future date.
There is no integrity in government when those running the government are life-time employees.
Wow, these people are SMART! SMARTEST people in the world I tell ya.
What would we do without them!
***SPIT***
>>“State Dep’t” doesn’t draw a paycheck, people do. Find the names and fire them and charge them with crimes.
Or just RICO the whole organization.
Why would you be?
This is the face of the democratic party.
Let’s hope your insurance is well paid up and you have good security.
Thanks for the ping.
WIKI——Wilkinson is a close personal friend of Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland who was never given a hearing by the Senate.
On March 16, 2016, President Barack Obama nominated Garland to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy created by the death of Antonin Scalia. The Senate refused to hold a hearing or vote on this nomination made during the last year of Obama’s presidency, with the Republican majority insisting that the next elected President should fill the vacancy. Senate Republicans’ unprecedented refusal to consider the nomination was considered highly controversial. Garland’s nomination lasted 293 days and expired on January 3, 2017, at the end of the 114th Congress.
WIKI——In September 2018, NBC News reported that Wilkinson was assisting Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh in his response to the allegation that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford while they were in high school.
She is married to ex-MTP host David Gregory.
Unbelievable, lying to a Federal Judge. Is it arrogance, trying to hide something so bad they can’t have it come out or just think they are in power and can get away with anything?
Beth Wilkinson = Dem apparatchik
If he's a republican, if the dems could prove he had any knowledge of the world outside his window or had ever watched a news show they would demand he recuse himself from all cases involving democrat corruption.
How's that for Justice(sic)???
That's a big fat BINGO!!
