Quote:Judge complains he was lied to by feds in Clinton email suit, then retreats
Conservative group wants to question former secretary of state about email fiasco
Quote:Later in the hearing, Lamberth said he might have jumbled the sequence of events and a court declaration State submitted on the subject may have been inaccurate.
“I have to go back and read it,” he said. “I may have misremembered.”
Sounds me like the judge is part of his own fiasco.

A federal judge complained Friday that he was lied to by the State Department in a suit related to Hillary Clinton’s private email server, but he later backed off his claim, saying he may have been mistaken.
At a hearing on a Freedom of Information Act case about talking points related to the 2012 Benghazi attack, Judge Royce Lamberth complained that officials told the court that they had completed searching the agency’s records for information on the topic even though they knew that Clinton and other officials had used private email accounts for official business.
.
“The State Department told me it had produced all the records,” Lamberth complained. “That was not true at the time. It was not true. It was a lie.”
Justice Department attorney Robert Prince repeatedly interrupted, denying the judge’s claim.
“It was not a lie, your honor,” Prince said during the tense exchange. He went on to say that while the State Department had not immediately revealed the internal effort to recover Clinton’s emails, it did search those messages soon after receiving them.
“It’s true that we told Judicial Watch that State was done when it was not done,” Prince said. He noted that the issue of the handling of Clinton’s emails has been investigated by the FBI, State’s inspector general and by the House’s special Benghazi committee. “That was not great. The situation would have been better if someone knew. ... It’s not bad faith.”
“We’re saying that the whole oversight that did occur because of it has been resolved by this point,” Prince added.
