LORETTA LYNCH: A QUALIFIED--BUT POLITICAL--CHOICE (Will the GOP have the guts block this nominee?)
Breitbart ^ | Nov. 9, 2014 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 11/10/2014 11:15:21 AM PST by GodAndCountryFirst

Loretta Lynch, President Barack Obama's choice to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General, would likely sail through confirmation hearings under normal circumstances--i.e. even when Democrats had not gutted the filibuster rule in a cynical act of partisanship, and when the administration had not turned the nation's top law enforcement office into such a politicized and race-obsessed office. She certainly has the right qualifications.

Lynch has served twice as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and has a long résumé of high-profile prosecutions. Her most recent headline case has been that of U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY), who was indicted earlier this year for a variety of charges, including hiding $1 million in business receipts from the Internal Revenue Service and hiring illegal immigrant workers, whom he paid in cash, at his restaurant.

Lynch is also a Harvard classmate of the wife of Eric Holder!

... and also happened to be the Clinton's lawyer.

What reason did they have for blocking Bork?

Screw Obama. Give him absolutely nothing.

Does anyone here believe she would do the same if he had been a demodummie? Me thinks NOT.

You don’t remember the demonization by the media? That was enough to sink him.

Save for a huge scandal, she gets in. It’s just not a hill to die on.
Besides she’s my home girl.

I hope they block this affirmative-action product and racist. Don’t buy into the LIB id8io0ts “party of no” crapola. Next thing you know, some will want to start “reaching across the aisle”. How about the “power sharing in Congress some time back? How’d that work out? Those are all “great” strategies.
