Lisa Page testified - last summer- that Loretta Lynch (likely with the knowledge and advice of Obama) blocked the prosecution of Hillary Clinton in 2016:
James Comey had originally drafted a memo describing Clinton's actions as "grossly negligent" but changed it in the final version:Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page admitted under questioning from Texas Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe last summer that "the FBI was ordered by the Obama DOJ not to consider charging Hillary Clinton for gross negligence in the handling of classified information," the congressman alleged in a social media post late Tuesday, citing a newly unearthed transcript of Page's closed-door testimony.
Page and since-fired FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, who were romantically involved, exchanged numerous anti-Trump text messages in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, and Republicans have long accused the bureau of political bias. But Page's testimony was perhaps the most salient evidence yet that the Justice Department improperly interfered with the FBI's supposedly independent conclusions on Clinton's criminal culpability, Ratcliffe alleged.
"So let me if I can, I know I’m testing your memory," Ratcliffe began as he questioned Page under oath, according to a transcript excerpt he posted on Twitter. "But when you say advice you got from the Department, you’re making it sound like it was the Department that told you: You’re not going to charge gross negligence because we’re the prosecutors and we’re telling you we’re not going to —"
Page interrupted: "That is correct," as Ratcliffe finished his sentence, " -- bring a case based on that."
Gross negligence is a criminal act and there was no way the Obama DOJ was going to allow Clinton to be hit with those charges. The excuse for not charging Clinton was that the statute was "Constitutionally vague." Yet that vagueness was not an option accorded others- including one Kristian Saucier:Newly reported memos to Congress released Monday showed that language was softened between an early draft and the final copy of former FBI Director James Comey’s statement closing out the Hillary Clinton email case.
Originally Comey accused the former secretary of state of being “grossly negligent” in handling classified information in a draft dated May 2, 2016, but that was modified to claim that Clinton had been “extremely careless” in a draft dated June 10, 2016. Comey stuck to that modified language when he announced in July 2016 that there would be no charges against Clinton.
A FORMER NAVY MACHINIST mate who admitted taking photos inside a nuclear submarine was sentenced to a year in prison Friday, with a federal judge rebuffing a request for probation in light of authorities deciding not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information on a private email server as secretary of state.Clinton's transgressions were far in excess of Saucier's:Kristian Saucier’s attorneys argued in a court filing last week that Clinton had been "engaging in acts similar to Mr. Saucier" with information of much higher classification. It would be "unjust and unfair for Mr. Saucier to receive any sentence other than probation for a crime those more powerful than him will likely avoid," attorney Derrick Hogan wrote.

Tell us something we didn’t know. Can you say tarmac meeting? I know you could.
Do the Democrats REALLY want to destroy this country so that nobody hurts Hillary’s feelings?
Demonicrats have a million reasons they want to destroy this country.
Before or after Loretta Lynch, a Democrat and current Attorney General, covertly met with Democrat and ex President Bill Clinton, the husband of the subject of the investigation, former Secretary of State, Democrat Hillary Clinton, who was running for POTUS as the Democrats nominee.
“Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?”
It’s called “prosecutorial discretion,” and it’s legal, but you keep on reaching.
She probably played “wide out” but not tight end”..
You guys haven’t been listening. Trump can’t order his DOJ/AG to investigate, charge, or have them back off Hillary or anyone else for that matter! That would be interfering and obstruction of justice. Just ask General Flynn... /S
Yes she was and Co-captain of the Sumo Wrestling team as well.....
And, regardless of position, I’m sure she played for both teams, just like mommy.
