Attorney General told FBI director James Comey NOT to send letter to Congress about bureau reopening the investigation into Hillary's emails because it could influence the election outcome

Attorney General Loretta Lynch advised Comey against sending a letter to Congress about the FBI's reopened investigation into Clinton's emails She argued to Comey that he should follow the Justice Department's practice of not taking actions that could influence the election Attorney General Loretta Lynch advised and objected against FBI Director James Comey's move to send a letter to Congress to inform them about the reopening of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

Lynch argued to Comey that he should follow the Justice Department's practice of not taking actions that could influence the outcome of a presidential election, The New Yorker reported on Saturday.

Comey broke from Lynch, who objected to the move along with the Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and independently sent the letter to Congress on Friday, dropping the bombshell about the restarted investigation based on newly discovered emails, rocking Clinton's campaign.

Comey's supporters argue that he had to break away from Lynch and act independently on the issue due to her compromising herself when she had an impromptu visit with former president Bill Clinton late into the investigation earlier this year. Comey broke away and sent a memo to bureau staffers explaining his decision to notify Congress He wrote that the FBI would not 'ordinarily' inform Congress about its ongoing investigations But said he noted he felt an 'obligation to' given that he testified repeatedly in recent months that bureau's investigation was completed On Friday, he sent a letter to eight Republican lawmakers regarding the reopened investigation - rocking Clinton's campaign

Ted Stephens was also lynched before his reelection on charges that were later dismissed.

Lynch met with Bill Clinton on the tarmac. Comey conducted a sham investigation and decided that Hillary's crimes were not sufficient to warrant a conviction. He gave five people immunity and no one suffered any consequences for the mishandling of classified information. Comey never convened a grand jury. Comey did not conduct an investigation according to the established rules.

Lynch ceded the decision to prosecute to the FBI. The FBI should never have been given such authority. It is a DOJ decision. Lynch and Comey influenced the results of an election by not indicting Hillary Clinton. They gave her and her staff virtual exoneration for their crimes.

If this is true, Comey is a buffoon. I pray this is propaganda since Lynch has already stopped him from doing what he should have done in July...

I apologize if someone has already addressed this, I haven’t made it past post 99, which is what Lynch’s ‘pleading the 5th’ is in relation to. It’s not about Comey, it’s about the Iran deal.

But for Comey to do this against Lynch and policy strongly supports the theory that the white hats in the FBI did NOT destroy the laptops as they were told, discovered criminality, kept the laptops so as not to obstruct justice, and have James Comey over a barrel with the potential for obstruction charges against him if he does nothing to actually see justice done...

I like your conclusion - makes sense to me! What do you make of the squealing that Comey did not get a subpoena for these emails that they're using to reopen the investigation?

Enough of the calls for firing the director of the FBI

He is appointed by congress for a term of 10 years, so only Congress can remove him.

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry has demanded Comey’s resignation

That’s the way it usually works, hound the person into resigning.

Now that Hillary is mad at him the hashtag #ComplyOrDie will kick in

>>Huma was likely sending classified info to foreign nationals.<<

Right? Huma could very well be a foreign agent or working on behalf of the muzzie brotherhood.

She lied to the FBI, kept these emails even after the investigation began and ended. Why? Why would an intelligent individual keep thousands of emails with potentially confidential information?

Why did these end up on her husbands computer as well. Knowing the FBI was investigating them, would you not attempt to rid yourself of these transmissions? After being interviewed, she still retained thousands of emails....why? Why would she place herself in legal jeopardy?

The answer would likely be, she planned to make them available to foreign entities.

The FBI director can not be fired by a president.

He is appointed by Congress and only they can remove him

He will probably resign to keep breathing, Hillary hashtag #ComplyOrDie

Ya think?

Her whole family is Muslim Brotherhood.

Top advisor to Obama is Valerie Jarrett, a high rankiong Muslim Brotherhood leader.

Obama does not do ANYTHING without her say so.

Obama, Clinton, Huma, Jarrett plus those 5-6 Islamist Muslims in Obama's cabinet-All foreign agents working to Islamize the USA.

They are all working towards that goal, including Sharia law.

Hillary doesn't have to worry, she doesn't drive anyway.

She will probably be real excited to have her granddaughter's genitals mutilated because of Islamic laws.

In this country it is painless; done as a surgical procedure with painkillers.

In many backwards Islamic countries it is done with a piece of broken glass.

That timeline is MUST READ for everyone. I mean every American over 16 that knows how to read.

Hillary should be behind bars. Many people have been for far less.

Even if the ghastly horrendous procedure is done with painkillers, it makes sex and childbirth painful and the latter deadly to some babies and mothers.

Sharyl does SUCH a good job .... it’s pretty clear to anyone who can read that Hilly should be in jail along with a whole bunch of her Clintonista pals.

If Huma accidentally shot herself multiple times in the head, with multiple weapons, as Vince Foster may have done, I believe her family would return the favour. Illary would find herself quickly facing her Maker, albeit for only a brief second before she was cast into the outer darkness where there is much weeping and gnashing of teeth. The MB would not fail in THAT quest. MB for Vendetta!

I presume that the investigation into Weiner’s sexting got the emails through a subpoena and alerted the FBI of the connections to the Hillary investigation - at least as the public reason for re-opening the investigation.

I suspect that the white hats in the FBI knew from the content on the laptops that Huma was central to a lot of the criminal stuff (they may have seen some cc’s to weiner on some of the emails too) and gave Comey the “idea” to use Weiner’s connection as the reason to re-open the investigation, rather than spilling out the truth about Mills breaking the terms of her immunity deal and Comey obstructed justice in ordering the laptops destroyed (since hiding that truth was the motivation to get Comey to re-open the investigation in the first place...) Having Weiner involved would be sure to get at least some media to cover the story.

This is a PLOT and COMEY IS IN ON IT FROM THE WORD GO.

Actually there was a second indictment about four days before the election. If i remember correctly it concerned something written in his diary, After the election the Federal Judge dismissed it, Again, IIRC, because it was outside of the statute of limitations.
