Yesterday Fox News<\/a> posted an article about the cover-up by the State Department of both information surrounding Hillary Clinton’s private server and information regarding the attack at Benghazi.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In a combative exchange at a hearing\u00a0Friday in Washington, D.C., a\u00a0federal 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth also said he was “shocked” and\u00a0“dumbfounded” when he learned that FBI\u00a0had granted immunity to former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills<\/a> during its investigation into the use of Clinton’s server, according to a court transcript of his remarks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“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 \u2014 by the Justice Department in the Hillary Clinton email case,” Lamberth said during the\u00a0hearing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Department of Justice’s Inspector General\u00a0(IG), Michael Horowitz, noted in a bombshell report<\/a> 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\u00a0Mills’ personal email account. “[T]here are serious potential ramifications when one witness attends another witness’ interview,” the IG wrote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes that the Judge did not know that Cheryl Mills had been granted immunity.<\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

The transparency group Judicial Watch initially sued the State Department in 2014, seeking information about the response to the Benghazi attack after the government didn’t respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Other parallel lawsuits by Judicial Watch are probing issues like Clinton’s server, whose existence was revealed during the course of the litigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The State Department had immediately moved to dismiss Judicial Watch’s first lawsuit on a motion for summary judgment, saying in an affidavit that it had conducted a search of all potentially relevant emails in its possession and provided them. The affidavit noted that some more documents and emails could be forthcoming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Lamberth denied the request to dismiss the lawsuit at the time — and on Friday, he said he was happy he did, charging that State Department officials had intentionally misled him because other key documents, including those on Clinton’s email server, had not in fact been produced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It was clear to me that at the time that I ruled initially, that false statements were made to me by career State Department officials, and it became more clear through discovery that the information that I was provided was clearly false regarding the adequacy of the search and this \u2013 what we now know turned out to be the Secretary\u2019s email system,” Lamberth said Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n
