According to the New Yorker, "Comeys decision to make public new evidence that may raise additional legal questions about Clinton was contrary to the views of the Attorney General, according to a well-informed Administration official. Lynch expressed her preference that Comey follow the departments longstanding practice of not commenting on ongoing investigations, and not taking any action that could influence the outcome of an election, but he said that he felt compelled to do otherwise."
Traditionally, the Justice Department has advised prosecutors and law enforcement to avoid any appearance of meddling in the outcome of elections, even if it means holding off on pressing cases. One former senior official recalled that Janet Reno, the Attorney General under Bill Clinton, completely shut down the prosecution of a politically sensitive criminal target prior to an election. She was adamantanything that could influence the election had to go dark, the former official said.
And the punchline:
"according to the Administration official, Lynch asked Comey to follow Justice Department policies, but he said that he was obliged to break with them because he had promised to inform members of Congress if there were further developments in the case. He also felt that the impending election created a compelling need to inform the public, despite the tradition of acting with added discretion around elections. The Administration official said that Lynch and Justice Department officials are studying the situation, which he called unprecedented."

Apparently, loretta (affirmative-action-hire) lynch is a criminal. Let us hope she receives the Justice she so absolutely deserves.
May the Lord protect the city of New York between now and the inauguration of Trump. Can’t you see the current regime pulling an “oopsie, we didn’t catch that ISIS attack in time” on NYC out of retribution? Sadly I can.
I agree. Once NYPD knew of their existence it was just a matter of time before it was leaked. Hes just covering his butt
Translation: Lynch says “Comey keep this thing quiet”. Comey says “I can’t, too many people know about it.”
Clinton destroyed all of the other cell phones and laptops and forgot about emails that might have been forwarded to a third party like Carlos Danger. Otherwise they would have destroyed his phone too.
I’m no lawyer (don’t even play one on TV), but before this is all over, I’d bet the states attorney generals get involved.
Three cheers for a conscience.
Exactly what is your real point?
The system has refused to handle them and hasn't shown any tendency to start now - unless the latest heralds a change.
Well that changes if serial pervert Weiner had access to them. He has no clearance and is a textbook case for blackmail.
Who knows, how many foreign intel agencies have blackmailed Weiner and gotten info from him?
Or did Weiner sell classified info to countries that are or could be hostile to America to pay for his sexual acts?
Thx! That is interesting timing. Hope the NYPD command hasn’t been compromised.
Thx, too!
Normally I don’t police Word Crimes, a la the great Weird Al, but someone mentioned to me once that there may be a lot of folks fluent in Russian over at ZH. ;-)
Because they have enough sycophants who have been willing to kill for them over the years, for the right price.
And in every last pea-picking case of suspected Arkancide over the decades, the Clintons have always enjoyed plausible deniability?
“It’s good to be the king.”
Life in D.C. reads like a spy story one could’t make up.
Cleveland keeps not showing up for Hillary campaign rallies. If they turn out for Bill, it makes the Kaine and Unable ticket look even more lame.
Squrew the Rooskies!
lol
Then, Arkancide.
