Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein called for the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate former attorney general Loretta Lynch instructing James Comey to mislead the public about the Clinton email investigation.
Comey testified on Thursday that Lynch instructed him, without explanation, to call the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use a private email server as secretary of a state a “matter” instead of an investigation. Lynch’s request, Comey said, made him feel “queasy” as it appeared she was “looking to align the way we talked about our work with the way the political campaign was describing the same activity, which was inaccurate.” (RELATED: Bush AG: Lynch ‘Betrayal’ Made DOJ ‘An Arm Of The Clinton Campaign’)
“I would have a queasy feeling, too,” Feinstein admitted in a Sunday morning interview on CNN. “I think we need to know more about that and there’s only way to know about it, and that’s to have the judiciary committee take a look at that.”
Comey cited Lynch’s request as one of the reasons he felt compelled to hold a press conference announcing the results of the Clinton email investigation. He also cited Lynch’s private meeting with Bill Clinton on her airplane as another reason for trying to keep the FBI investigation independent from the DOJ.

Michael Mukasey, the attorney general under George W. Bush, said on Friday that Lynch essentially turned the Department of Justice into “an arm of the Clinton campaign.”
“What makes it egregious is the fact — and I think it’s obvious that it is a fact — that the attorney general of the United States was adjusting the way the department talked about its business so as to coincide with the way the Clinton campaign talked about that business,” Mukasey said.
“In other words, it made the Department of Justice essentially an arm of the Clinton campaign. That is a betrayal of the department and of its independence to illustrate that clearly that the attorney general was essentially in the tank for Secretary Clinton.”
DiFi is jumping in early.
All roads lead to Hillary.
Usually democrats collude and cover up. So, I’m a little suspicious of one of them wanting to look into what one of their own did.
This has to be fake news.
She is doing this as a ploy; never ever trust a RAT at face value, ever.
An actual moment of clarity from a democrat Senator? She’ll be sent straight to the woodshed post-haste.
Frankly, I want this all to be over and let them start passing legislation and ending some other in order to benefit this country instead of playing this BS game.
DiFi and a few others are going to have an alternative power center within the democrat party before the end of the month, or the end of July at the latest, making waves for the Clinton faithful still burrowed into the bureaucracy and democrat party.
JMHo
It’ll be a fake investigation.
the obamites weaponized the irs and the fbi and mobilized both against their political opponents. they probably did the same thing with the nations intelligence apparatus.
someone, or several someones, belong in prison.
Not incredibly unexpected after Pelosi jumped in with both feet without her water wings on the whole Lynch thing. Looks like Feinstein is making sure that Pelosi Inc won’t be able to slide into her senate seat, nor choose who gets it.
Lynch & Pelosi’s tight coordination with the Clinton campaign will likely make for some interesting investigations.
I wonder if jimmy write himself a little memo after lynch told him to speak clinton campaign talking points — and he obeyed.
She has heard the rustling about her Husband and his company being checked out and wanting to divert attention from that. Always with them ME ME ME , she would rather Clintons take a dive then them.
“This has to be fake news.”
Maybe, but for what purpose? I would suspect Feinstein
really doesn’t want to go too far down this road if it is
for real. She’ll have to face her own if it goes too far.
I think they’re beginning to TRULY see themselves as, ‘Hoist on their own Petard’ as it were.
2018 is going to be a BLOODBATH for them! And I couldn’t be happier!
Since 2005 (TWELVE YEARS AGO!) their ‘Leadership’ has been a JOKE! I still do NOT understand how 0bama stood a chance at re-election! It HAD to be ballot-stuffing. It HAD to be!
Terry McAuliffe!
Howard Dean!
Tim Kaine!
Donna Brazile!
Debbie Washerwoman Shultz!
Donna Brazile - AGAIN!
Tom(100% Open Borders) Perez!
They are NOT selling ANYTHING that the MAJORITY of Americans want.
