Loretta Lynch has already broken the seal on her foray into the morass of prosecutorial discretion. She dismissed the IRS investigation.
Justice Department officials used "prosecutorial discretion" to shelter former IRS official Lois Lerner from a grand jury after she was held in contempt of Congress. "I believe that in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, the matter was handled and was resolved," Attorney General Loretta Lynch told the House Judiciary Committee.
Lerner is just the beginning. The IRS dismissal, large enough on its own scale and importance, will be but a side event in this attorney general's career. For the longer the Hillary email "scandal" plays out, the more protracted the discovery and analysis by the FBI, and the deeper into the campaigning and nomination process we go, the less likely any indictment of Ms. Clinton. It will likely involve a discretionary event by Loretta Lynch.
The more Hillary becomes the likely nominee, the greater the political aspects of the FBIs work. To now dethrone the Democrat nominee with an indictment is much more difficult than if it had been done after the Iowa caucus. And the closer we get to the convention, the more distasteful and difficult any action against Hillary.

Impeachable offense, IMO
Eccl 5:8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.
Seriously past time to take to the streets!

Garbage.
Justice Department officials used “prosecutorial discretion” to shelter former IRS official Lois Lerner from a grand jury after she was held in contempt of Congress. “I believe that in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, the matter was handled and was resolved,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch told the House Judiciary Committee.
Lerner is just the beginning.
This is no surprise.
My only question is, how much of this can be reviewed by Attorney General Chris Christie and charges brought in another year or so?
Sure thing. Let's just ask General Petraeus what he thinks...
I think ALL governments are organized crime syndicates.
“Prosecutorial Discretion” = Licensed Corruption
An indictment was never going to happen.
It is impeachable; and now that we don’t have Boehner to deep-six it, House Judiciary Committee needs to take up hearings on impeaching Loretta. She would probably call it a high-tech Lynching, but so what? People could then be called up under oath — the sorts of underlings who made Watergate stonewall begin to crumble.
Bob Goodlatte is chairman. There is also a sub-committee on the Constitution and civil rights chaired by the very hard-nosed Arizonan, Trent Franks; also on that sub=committee is Louis Gohmert. But they need to get crackin’, as the dems will try to run out the clock, as usual.
LOL! It’s like those that still hold out for “hope and change” in impeaching the lyin’ king. Uh, new flash. It’s about 7 and a half years to late at this point. Helloooo!
The protected and the unprotected. If there was ever a more glaring example.
Don't believe that pabulum about Comey being incorruptible. Obama and his cabal know every possible detail about Comey's life as a result of his background check. A quiet reminder about some embarrassing aspect of the life of Comey or a family member can keep even the most powerful figures quiet.
Exactly. Hard to tell whether this little saga is for OUR entertainment or that of the regime.
In this we are in agreement.
Furthermore, when blacks protest the inequity of the justice system we conservatives need to understand that they are not far wrong, even though I think their fire is misdirected.
The law has become a pay-to-play endeavor and those that can't pay up big receive the full brunt of a merciless system.
This is what happens when lawyers are allowed to control the system w/ no effective oversight.

...is it really surprising? The usurper running the country into the ground. Judges ignored, hearing upon hearing, McConnell’s a bought lacky....Ryan is no better. I fully expect assainations to rule. Trump will be nominated Only as a result of the peoples frustration.....as far as getting elected BY THE PEOPLE, I THINK we’re about to see “history” being made but not anything to be proud of......
