Attorney General Lynch abdicated her duty in the Clinton probes.
Fewer than three of 10 Americans trust government to do the right thing always or most of the time, Gallup reports, and the years since 2007 are “the longest period of low trust in government in more than 50 years.” The details emerging about the multiple investigations into Hillary Clinton explain a lot about this ebbing public confidence in institutions such as the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation. ***
Start with Attorney General Loretta Lynch. A cavalcade of former Justice heavyweights are now assailing FBI director James Comey for reopening the Clinton email file, and Justice sources are leaking that the director went rogue despite Ms. Lynch’s counsel not to alert Congress so close to an election.
But Mr. Comey works for the Attorney General. If she thinks Mr. Comey was breaking Justice rules by sending Friday’s letter to Congress, then she had every right to order him not do so. If Mr. Comey sent the letter anyway, and he didn’t resign, Ms. Lynch could then ask President Obama to fire him.

A “Saturday Night Massacre” worked so well for Nixon.
Hillary needs a mug shot not a whitewash. We’re waiting to see justice done.
The WSJ .. on their knees yet again, mouths gaping, tongues eager
Because diversity! Sista in the DoJ! Or something.
Please, please, please fire Comey. Christmas in November....
Attorney General Lynch had a private meeting with Bill Clinton during the Clinton probes.
The proper title for this should be “PORTRAIT OF A CROOKED BLACK FEMALE LAWYER!” I just hope she goes to jail too when the dust settles. She’s right up there with Alcee Hastings.
Sorry WSJ, but life just is not that simple.
Haven’t forgotten Holder either. Hope he goes to jail.
Please someone who masters photoshop do a Donald William Wallace !!!
The corruption and scandal follows the Clintons like stink on an ape. Everything they touch turns slimy.
Did you see her gams? She is not just a lying, corrupt, paid for grifter. She is also a pretty sick woman, physically.
MSNBC regularly finds young pundits to completely sacrifice there credibility. DoJ can’t reach that low in their ranks...?!?!
They’ve done the recent hiring..?!?!
“Please, please, please fire Comey. Christmas in November....”
They probably will, unless Clinton can turn this around. Nothing to lose, at that point.
This, from Barack Hussein 0bama? Hmm...does the name Eric Holder ring a bell? How about the quashing of the Black Panther prosecution for voter intimidation?
No, this administration, like Clinton's, is based on that old progressive principle, "Special Rules For Special People". It was corrupt from the outset, corrupt in development, in action, in presentation, in public relations, it is corrupt to its very institutional soul if it even has one. Hillary is no exception, she's the norm.
the opinion page of WSJ has been pretty fearless in breaking this story, considering how volatile it is. Clearly not the Murdock way.
The Aristocracy of Pull.
