Obviously, we wanted to testify fully, fulsomely, and provide the information that was needed, but we were not at that point, in September of 2015, ready to confirm that there was an investigation into the email matter

The email matter. She never told anyone to use the phrase that she uses.

I bet she spoke to Comey and said "email matter" about a thousand times. She may not have TOLD him what to say, but it seems obvious what she wants to call this thing.

I guess Jimmy did not have a get out of jail free card when the music stopped.

[Cboldt]

Yep. She'a literally his boss, and they were discussing how to testify without disclosing the absence or presence of an investigation. So, they figigure, let's do what we always do, obfuscate and play word games.

the concern that both of us had in the meeting that I was having with him ... was how to have that discussion without stepping across the Department policy of confirming or denying an investigation ...

we were not at that point, in September of 2015, ready to confirm that there was an investigation

The DOJ and FBI depend on deadly force and cover from the courts for "legitimacy."

[StAnDeliver]

Absolutely. She's the liar in this instance. But that's what they're all doing, they're flooding the zone with these small lies so no one can be held liable.

The key will be to sweat the entire Insurance Policy Krewe with multiple perjury instances and then get Page and Stroke to flip on Comey & McCabe. That would break the dam and revoke their liar's pact. Page and Nellie O. are the weak links here; the women always are.

[Lynch: I did not. I have never instructed a witness as to what to say specifically. Never have, never will.]

Note the phrasing. Carefully-crafted.
