Attorney general promises 'independent' review of Clinton email case
The Hill ^ | 2-24-2016 | Julian Hattem

Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Wednesday promised that any Justice Department review of possible criminal charges connected to Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information would be "independent," without regard to politics or outside influence.

While a recommendation from the FBI about how to proceed could be months away, Lynch promised House lawmakers that the Justice Department's course of action will be guided by the law alone.

"That matter is being handled by career independent law enforcement agents -- FBI agents -- as well as career independent attorneys in the Department of Justice," Lynch told a House Appropriations subcommittee. "They follow the evidence, they look at the law and they'll make a recommendation to me when the time is appropriate." "This will be conducted as every other case, and we will review all the facts and all the evidence and come to an independent conclusion as to how to handle it," she maintained.

Lynch's comments echo those of FBI Director James Comey, who has previously pledged to Capitol Hill that his bureau doesn't "give a rip about politics."

Let her rip.

Or wait till 2030 when Riff Raff Gowdy finishes his investigation.

This is the best thing that could happen!

The problem isn’t just Hillary Clinton.

The problem is the Democrat Party.

They could have had “The Talk” with Hillary a long time ago, but they didn’t.

Everybody would have hollered for a few days and then the Democrats could look for their next candidate.

This is dragging on and on and in the backs of the minds of Democrat supporters, a new idea is taking root.

It’s just a little seed underneath the dirt in a big field, but still, it’s there and it’s alive.

And it’s growing.

“Could the Democrat Party actually be the evil party?”

This business with Hillary is like a gentle rain and warm sun every day for that seed.

Keep fighting Hillary! You’re smarter than everyone! You’re better than everyone! Sneer at them!

“Yeah right, Loretta should be lynched.”

You are in serious trouble!
You just used a forbidden word and associated it with a black female.

I hope you have an encrypted IPhone.

The final conclusion of the investigation should come in no later than 25 years.

Yes, probably just a way to delay any decision until after the election, at which point they can announce there is no reason to prosecute.

This reminds me of Janet Reno's endless investigation of campaign wrongdoing by the Clinton-Gore campaign, which of course ended with no prosecution.
