Richard L. Lambert is an FBI whistleblower and a lawyer.[1]
Concerns
In 2006, Richard Lambert outlined problems in a formal complaint in 2006 to the Deputy Director of the FBI, John S. Pistole. Meeting official disinterest from the establishment, in 2015 he filed a whistleblower lawsuit,[2] in the words of 911Blogger, "calling the entire FBI investigation bullsh!t".[3]
Blowing the whistle
On April 2nd, 2015, Richard L. Lambert initiated a lawsuit against US Attorney General Eric Holder, former FBI Director Robert Mueller, the US Justice Department, the FBI, FBI employee Patrick Kelley and unknown Justice Department and FBI employees for legal malpractice and violations of the Federal Tort Claims Act and Privacy Act. "This case was hailed at the time as the most important case in the history of the F.B.I.,” Mr. Lambert said. “But it was difficult for me to get experienced investigators assigned to it."[2]
While leading the investigation for the next four years, Plaintiff’s efforts to advance the case met with intransigence from WFO’s executive management, apathy and error from the FBI Laboratory, politically motivated communication embargos from FBI Headquarters, and yet another preceding and equally erroneous legal opinion from Defendant Kelley – all of which greatly obstructed and impeded the investigation.

Cover-up
As of January 2019, Wikipedia made no mention of Richard Lambert, and commercially-controlled media had made almost no mention of it. In 2015, however, he did appear on Fox News.[5]
