[So who is lying, Ms. WeDiscussedGrandchildren&Golf or Mr. PantsOnFire?]
Both
Comey's biggest weakness is his extremely high opinion of himself. Literally and figuratively, he looks down on everyone. He is always "the smartest person in the room". Of course he is wrong, he just can't see it. He's "too clever by half".
p
she shouldn’t be reminding us of “Fulsom”.....
bwahahaha!!
Nice pun!!
Note the phrasing. Carefully-crafted.
Indeed. The first part answers the question she was asked.
[So you do not believe you ever instructed him to call it a matter?
Lynch: I did not.]
She could have ended her statement there but didn't.
The second part you noted...she wasn't speaking to the issue at hand.
What she really meant...IDK. But it sure is peculiar.
What Lynch did was give a non-answer “answer” that will keep her from a perjury charge.
You can bet she told Comey to call it “a matter” and a whole lot more.
I hope Comey takes them both down.
The way she obsesses on making an issue of a direct quotation makes her sound very nervous.
The following statement was an unrelated self defense response.
Also....these were the heady days of "Anything Goes" when Hillary was a shoo-in.
[I have never instructed a witness as to what to say specifically]
That’s her weasel statement immediately following.
Comey was not a “witness” when she told him “a matter”.
Comey didn’t become “a witness” until a long time later.
We may not agree. That’s OK. I don’t trust any of them.
Not at all.
Lynch: I did not. I have never instructed a witness as to what to say specifically. Never have, never will.
Well now, you never instructed but just casually in passing mentioned it ?
“At the meeting, everyone agreed that Mr. Comey should not reveal details about the Clinton investigation. But Ms. Lynch told him to be even more circumspect: Do not even call it an investigation, she said, according to three people who attended the meeting. Call it a “matter.” “
We may not agree.
We agree that what she said was 'off', I just don't believe her statement applied to Comey and that it applied to someone else.
Comey didn’t become “a witness” until a long time later.
An unconscious injection into the conversation, perhaps, or an attempt to divert the conversation in another direction.
It definitely deserves scrutiny.
I don’t trust any of them.
Nor do I knowing what we know now.

The investigation into the State Department email matter is going to be handled like any other matter.
She uses matter twice and she didn't correct Wallace when he used "criminal investigation" before her reply. She inserted the language into the conversation.
Needless to say IMO she is lying about the exchange between the two of them using her interview as the predicate for my opinion.
[ Needless to say IMO she is lying about the exchange between the two of them ]
Yes
Lynch is lying.
Comey is lying.
Lynch and Comey both using weasel phrases to hide their coup attempt.
Now Lynch and Comey appear to contradict each other.
I predict they’ll cover for one another. If they can arrange an “accidental” tarmac meeting to work out the details.
If not, perhaps more popcorn is in order.
