Sen. John Cornyn is stepping up pressure on Attorney General Loretta Lynch to respond to reports that the Department of Justice ignored an FBI request to investigate the Clinton Foundation.
Cornyn sent a letter to Lynch on Friday with a series of questions stemming from a CNN report this week that FBI officers approached the Justice Department earlier this year about opening a case regarding the relationship between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation.
The Justice Department declined to investigate, according to the report, because it had already looked into similar allegations and found there was not sufficient evidence to open a case.
But the senior Texas Republican senator points out in his letter that Lynch did follow FBI Director James Comeys recommendation in July not to press charges on Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server.

The new email releases have and will change the entire scope of any prior investigations.
And the fact that these new, very damaging emails were deleted and never turned over by Hillary to the State Department but were only uncovered via only after the FBI seized the servers and did an extensive and sophisticated forensic investigation to recover the data is equally damaging.
Hillary and her lawyers tried to destroy evidence to obstruct justice and conceal criminal activity.
Remember that little meeting on the plane where they talked about the grandkids?
The Chaffetz Committee needs to get Comey in front of them again. They need to ask him about the issue of a “reasonable prosecutor” not taking the Clinton email case. They need to press him about other, similar, cases that his FBI successfully prosecuted and name the DoJ prosecutor - then ask - were THEY wrong in taking those cases, and were they “unreasonable”? What was the criminal intent element when it came to a Navy man taking a selfie for his girlfriend and accidentally capturing sensitive data in the background?
