House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said Thursday there is no comparison between current Attorney General Jeff Sessions meeting twice with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. last year and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch meeting privately with Bill Clinton last year as the FBI investigated his wife's private email server.
Pelosi told reporters Thursday at a press conference that Sessions should resign for not disclosing his meetings with the Russian ambassador during his confirmation hearing to become attorney general.
Reporters asked Pelosi how the controversy surrounding the Sessions revelation compared to Lynch's private meeting with Bill Clinton on a plane as the FBI probed his wife's private server to see if she mishandled classified material.
Pelosi said the two situations are completely different, Townhall reported.
Lynch "did not have a major role" in Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign," Pelosi said. "This is a completely different thing."
She appeared to be referring to the fact that Sessions was a prominent campaign surrogate for Trump during the 2016 election.
The House's top Democrat went on to say the meeting between Lynch and Bill Clinton happened by chance and was a pleasant encounter, calling it "serendipitous."
The former president and Lynch met privately on a plane in Phoenix last summer as the FBI was investigating Hillary Clinton's email practices. The FBI recommended days later that the Justice Department pursue no criminal charges against the former secretary of state.
Lynch and Bill Clinton said the email scandal did not come up during their conversation, which they said focused on grandchildren and social activities.
Ahhh, the excuses they come up with. Lynch didn’t have a ‘major role’ in Hilary’s campaign?? Hahahahahahaha. As we all have said before, if the Left didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all.
Yeah, yeah, sure sure.....
GTH Pewlosi, you vacant traitor.
The dementia is strong with this one.
Democrats are just so full of it.
Agreed. There is no comparison. Sessions met with ambassadors routinely as part of his responsibilities as a US Senator.
Bill and Loretta met to conspire about Hillary’s legal problems. True. No comparison at all.
Pelosi will soon be gone.
The stammering,off the wall bazaar remarks and obvious dementia are indicators
*Sigh* Pelosi off her meds yet again.
This partisan lyin’ b**** is such a dumbass hypocrite. How anyone would give an ounce of credence to Pelosi is beyond me
Laughable to try to excuse Slick and Lynch’s illegal and unethical behavior. Lynch should have been forced to resign. Sessions’ contacts were via legitimate reasons and even if not, was nothing compared to the Dims doing the same thing.
Pelosi and her bunch are unAmerican, career politicans who represent the worst of America. C’mon, let’s dig the dirt on this tramp Two can play their game.
Wasn’t Lynch promised the AG position under a Hillary administration?
Yes, she was.
Nancy smoke some heavy sht!
Right, they accidentally met to talk about grandchildren.
Wait.. Loretta Lynch DOESN’T HAVE GRANDCHILDREN!!!!!!!
Associating with fellow gang members is still a crime even when the two ballers meet in that alley of the projects “serendipitously,” which is the word they would use in court. ;)
He didn’t need to disclose the two meetings during confirmation hearings. He wasn’t asked and he was a US Senator on the Armed Services Committee. Getting real tired of this Russian crap.
Pelosi will soon be gone.
= = =
She needs to stockpile a bunch of “NO” votes for her underlings to cast when she is wheeled into The House on a gurney.
And film a bunch of generic anti-Trump comments for later showing, a la Cal Worthington.
Sorry Nan. Serendipitous?
No. I believe the word you’re looking for is: CRIMINAL.
Lynch "did not have a major role" in Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign,"
No Lynch just had the power to let Clinton's Presidential campaign live or die.
