Lynch to Remove Herself From Decision Over Clinton Emails, Official Says

Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch plans to announce on Friday that she will accept whatever recommendation career prosecutors and the F.B.I. director make about whether to bring charges related to Hillary Clinton’s personal email server, a Justice Department official said. Her decision removes the possibility that a political appointee will overrule investigators in the case.

I'm not usually conspiracy minded, but my first thought was maybe this meeting was a setup for the Clinton's. Now Obama can go hands-off to erase any conflict of interest questions. The problem is, does this mean the FBI will or Will Not recommend an indictment?

[Does so]

[Treeless Branch]

This is how it went down. Lynch tells Hillary and Obama she IS going to bring charges against her. Bill meets with Lynch knowing it will disqualify her. She steps down and then the replacement is already committed to not bringing charges or because that person will need time to get up to speed, that person won’t bring charges until after the election.

Looks like that Airport meeting was even more important than we realized.

Under the present circumstance it's passing strange that Bill had a face to face with Lynch. Usually, a third party is verbally asked to reach out to the target. Friends of Bill have done this before, Vernon Jordan to Lewinski.

Something hypercritical to Hillary and Bill's fate occurred at that "brief encounter", something that could be trusted to no one else.

To think that most of us were raised on the premise that “crime doesn’t pay”. Au contraire ...

[BlackAdderess]

The FBI director is an appointed position. It appears that the prosecutors from the Justice Department are also appointees. All appointees are political, so I’m not sure what sort of distinction they are trying to draw, except perhaps that this reeks and they don’t want to damage Lynch’s career.

Someone tipped off the reporter. Could have been clintons

[cardinal4]

Years ago I knew the LEGAT in Rome. A career FBI, guy, he epitomized all that is good about the Bureau. He’s probably beside himself these days..

[BlackAdderess]

So, when is wikileaks releasing the next batch of emails?

[knarf]

For a few months ... then Gowdy gets prosecutorial powers

[GreenHornet]

Good point. I saw this reporter on Bill O’Reilly and was impressed by him. He was serious, low-key, and thorough. For example, he said Lynch had mentioned Clinton had been playing golf in Phoenix, and the reporter said he used all his contacts to find out WHAT Bill Clinton was doing in Phoenix besides meeting with Lynch, but came up empty. The reporter said, “I'm not saying Clinton wasn't playing golf, just that I couldn't confirm any activity of his outside of his meeting at the airport.

The temperature in Phoenix that day was 106 degrees. Bill Clinton is one month away from his 70th birthday, and has a history of heart problems. There's no way he was there to play golf under those conditions. He was there to intercept Lynch as she arrived in town. He didn't go to all that trouble just to tell her about his grandchildren.

My family lives in Northern VA and as a result I have met many over the years who worked for SS, FBI, CIA.

Good people who talked politics just like us. It was rare to meet someone who liked either Clinton when bubba was POTUS. While they did not care for President Clinton, they all loathed Hillary with a passion.

[cardinal4]

Or better yet, the Russians?

Actually, there were two totally unrelated whistleblowers who went to two different people in the local press. The local guy saw the perfect opportunity of a career advancement play. BOR had him on last night and complimented him openly for a job well done.

Maybe this may be the straw that breaks the MSM back in that local reporters will see the advantage to have their Woodward & Bernstein moment.

Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch do not just cross paths. This had to be previously arranged. She was stupid enough to let the subject of a criminal investigation on to her plane. By the time you get to this level you don’t make this type of mistakes. There is a lor more going on here. Either Obama wanted her out, she wanted out or she made a very stupid mistake and she has no business being attotney general.

She is either unwilling or not capable of handling the case and her position. In either situatuin she needs to leave. They need a special prosecutor that is qualified to handle such a case.

And of course the usual question, was she wearing a blue dress and kneepads for their rendezvous.

[PghBaldy]

If the leaks continue, and get worse for Hillary, the fix is in. If not, we may yet see something unprecedented.

[jennings2004]

But, but, but, just yesterday didn’t I hear her say those immortal words: “It’s time to move on!”?

[Artie]

“something that could be trusted to no one else.”

Seems that something so nefarious, so clandestine would have been conducted at the Nellis test range or Groom Lake. Obama can’t be bothered to take a daily briefing but Bill Clinton knows where the AG is at all times?

[Captain7seas]

” ...who could be more incompetent, corrupt, or pushing of a 3rd Obama term (Hillary) than this affirmative-action appointee?”

LOL! Just stand by, they are legion.
