Again, I repeat: You are making false, incorrect interpretations and assumptions into Scripture....Does it say that ALL (or any of them) did so? Does it specifically say that Judas carried out miracles?

your post was Mat 10:1-8 Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him. These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.

All that the excerpt says is Jesus gave them the authority to do so. I believe He did and they HAD the power because Scripture says so. However, does that sentence say that Judas carried out miracles? No, it does not. It says he was given the ability to do so, not that he did..

Yes it does say that Jesus "summoned His twelve" and "gave THEM authority over unclean spirits". And then it goes on to name the twelve including Judas. I'm not making any false or incorrect interpretation. You simply are not reading the text and trying to split hairs for the sake of argument. You may wish to review the companion verses on thing:

Luk 9:1-6 And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing. And He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city. And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them." Departing, they began going throughout the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere."

One presumes that when the gospel talks about the TWELVE being sent out and that THEY began going through the vilages and that THEY were preaching the gospel and that THEY were healing everywhere it means precisely that.
