Former President Obama’s attorney general, Loretta Lynch, used a fake name to cover up an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server, indicates an admission from Lynch’s attorney.
Lynch was caught conducting a secret meeting with Bill Clinton aboard a private plane on a tarmac in Phoenix last year as Clinton’s wife pursued the presidency and amid an ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private, unsecured email server, which she illegally used during her tenure as secretary of State. Soon afterward, the former attorney general reportedly used a pseudonym to coordinate a narrative about the meeting with Department of Justice officials, Chuck Ross at The Daily Caller reports.
Also shortly after the private plane meeting, former FBI director James Comey announced that agency would not pursue a case against Clinton, despite admitting he had enough evidence to do so. A month later, Lynch announced the DOJ would not investigate the Clinton Foundation’s relationship with the State Department during Hillary’s tenure, despite the FBI’s reccommendation to do so. The chain of events caused many to question Lynch’s motives, as it was also widely reported that Hillary planned to keep Lynch as attorney general had Clinton won the election.
Using an email account under a fake name, Lynch (a.k.a. “Elizabeth Carlisle”) coordinated with DOJ officials to respond to queries about the secretive meeting with the former president. Lynch’s attorney, Robert Raben, confirmed her use of an alias on Monday and said she used an email account under a fake identity to prevent “inundation of mailboxes.”
Using fake names was a common tactic among Obama administration officials to evade accountability. AG Eric Holder, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson all did so when serving in public offices during Obama’s tenure. Lois Lerner, an IRS official who has been suspected of using the tax-collecting agency to target conservative nonprofit organizations, is also thought to have used an email address registered to a pseudonym to conduct official business.
Reporters at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and ABC News were hesitant to cover Lynch’s secret tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton, according to emails between journalists and DOJ officials the American Center for Law and Justice recently obtained.
“My editors are still pretty interested in it and I’m hoping to put it to rest by answering just a few more questions about how the meeting came about,” wrote Matt Zapotosky, a reporter for the Post — which recently changed its motto to “Democracy dies in darkness” — in an email to a DOJ official.

Did “Elizabeth Carlisle” arrange for a meet-up on the Arizona tarmac with Bubba?
Pure illegal Collusion.
Bkmrk
Is it illegal?......................
Scooter Libby went to jail over nothing.
“Fake identity”
“Hide”
“Cover up”
My my my
You’re a gutless bitch if you can not use your on name.....and just a crooked as Hillary and barry o......lock her up!!!
The big issue is: did she lie under oath when questioned by Trey Gowdy about her use of government vs personal email accounts? Specifically, is the use of an alias email account against federal regulations when such an account is not transparently linked to the employee?
And....was the creation of the alias e-mail account for criminal purposes or to hide criminal activity or to hide from Government overseers?.................
LOCK THEM ALL UP.
Yeah, it was! Not a single scandal, as we've been reminded several times...
meanwhile Donald getting two scoops of ice cream gets more coverage.....
Of course they diiiiid, to evade accountability + responsibility for their illegal acts.That's a typical DemoncRat for you.And the Pubs being so "Weak" in allowing them to get away w/ it unscathed, is even more offensive.
Shouldn’t this make it easier for a FOIA?
After all, there is no reference Lynch’s name. The name is just some “random” person.
RICO the entire kit and kabootle. All of them in the DNC and every media outlet that conspired with the cover up.
Even their constituents turn a blind eye to the Liberal Crime Family.
Any demographic that would applaud the murder of 50 million unborn children is positively satanic and will never do the right thing.

Was she even UNDER Oath? OR was this one of them, like Hildabeast, that they did NOT put under oath.
all makes me sick to my stomach. Scum Republicans all talk absolutely no action. They blackmailed? They in on it? They getting money on the side?
Scooter Libby for special prosecutor; hold these people to the same standard
