Four years ago, former Attorney General Eric Holder formalized a policy not comment publicly about politically sensitive investigations within 60 days of an election in a memo to all Justice Department employees.
He didn’t comment publicly. He sent notice of a change in the status of the investigation to elected officials in Congress, as he had promised. They then released his notice to the public.
Was this before, or after the leading “law enforcer” in America took the 5th??
Caspar Weinberger was indicted just days before the 1992 election, and the liberals were OK with that. So the liberals clearly don’t care when legal issues are happening relating to the time of an election.
Huma was likely sending classified info to foreign nationals.
I imagine there is also a “policy” somewhere about not pilfering divorce records that have been sealed by a court and releasing them to the public within 60 days of an election, and we all know how that was respected by Lynch’s boss.
We can only assume Lynch’s motives here are political, especially after the tarmac meeting and her pleading the 5th.
It makes the distraction all the more compelling, and IMO, that's what this story is designed to be, nothing more than a distraction. It has "Good cop / Bad cop" written all over.
So what about his July press conference? Didn't that influence the election? These people are too much. :-)
Comey told Congress and the American people that the investigation into Hillary Clinton had been completed.
In fact, the investigation is now ongoing.
Lynch wanted to mislead Congress and the American people in order to help Hillary win the election by not telling the investigation is not in fact completed.
Because of her own conflict of interest with the Clintons, in that 1) Bill Clinton appointed her US Attorney, 2) Hillary Clinton publicly offered to keep her as AG in a Hillary Administration, 3) she is an appointed Obama cabinet member purporting to investigate another appointed Obama cabinet member and 4) improper airplane meeting with the spouse of the investigation, Lynch should have used the DOJ regulations under which an independent special counsel is appointed in the event of conflicts of interest.
Her corruption in this case such as refusing to appoint a grand jury or to apply for search warrants to assist the FBI and numerous other decisions such as improperly allowing Cheryl Mills, another target of the investigation, to act as attorney for Hillary, calls for impeachment and removal from office.
Lynch can’t hold up the levee forever.
Obama can fire Comey at any time.
Comey broke “policy” he didn’t break the law.
(I think Comey already has broken the law, with the past farce investigation, but that’s a separate issue.)
Obama can fire Comey with a phone call. Will that help Hillary? NOPE, adds more drama.
She’s a moron, or a criminal, or both. Did the AG consider what it would have meant if the new evidence came out AFTER the election? The charge of illegitimacy would rock the whole system of government.
She needs to be indicted and impeached herself.
I think the last Attorney General to take the fifth was John Mitchell.
I thought Lynch recused herself and left it all up to Comey. Now she wants back in? Oh wait, her recusal was just a ploy to take the heat off her tarmac meeting with Bubba.
First, it is well established that the FBI is corrupt.
Commie is a dirty cop.
The Deputy Director was bought for only $500k.
Lynch has shown willing to violate laws and ethics for obola and the clintoons.
My opinion, is that Commie consulted with Lynch, who consulted with Obola. Whatever is likely to leak out has to be so damaging that Lynch and Obola signed off on this likely to protect Obola. I do not believe that the dirty cop Commie, decided at this point to go straight, rogue and turn on Lynch/Obola.
“because it could influence the election outcome”
Give her A+ for understatement. But actually I think Trump would win without Comey’s announcement.
Does she have to give the money back to Bill Clinton?
Lynch and Holder are going to jail too.
Trump is going to have to build a LOT more Federal penitentiarys!
ONCE AGAIN FOREIGN PRESS DOING THE JOB AMERICAN ENEMEDIA WONT DO
Enemedia going to prison too.
It would be interesting to see if Comey ends up dead or fired in a few days.
This is a soap opera.
There is going to be a revolt in this country if Hillary wins.
