Loretta Lynch torches James Comey for throwing her under the bus over Hillary probe
BizPac Review ^ | April 16, 2018 | Samantha Chang

There’s no honor among thieves. Just ask former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who threw ex-FBI director James Comey under the bus for suggesting that partisan bias induced her to take it easy on the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

“I have known James Comey almost 30 years,” Lynch retorted in a statement Sunday (see tweet below). “If he had any concerns regarding the email investigation, classified or not, he had ample opportunities to raise them with me both privately and in meetings. He never did.”

Lynch continued: “I have never hesitated to make the hard decisions, guided by the Department of Justice’s core principles of integrity, independence and above all, always doing the right thing. The Justice Department’s handling of the Clinton email investigation under my leadership was no exception. It was led by a team of non-partisan career prosecutors whose integrity cannot be overstated.”

As CBS reporter Roger Mudd infamously said when Wilbur Mills drunkenly drove his car into the Tidal Pool:

"The best news about this story is, it can only get worse!

Lynch: “If he had any concerns regarding the email investigation, classified or not, he had ample opportunities to raise them with me both privately and in meetings. He never did.”

Comey says he showed Lynch a communication between two political figures (Debbie W-S? and ?), wherein DWS says, don’t worry, Lynch is fixing the case. Lynch stared at him in silence and told him to get out of her office. So much for “ample opportunities”.

But I don’t blame her for throwing him out. Someday Comey will learn that threatening the boss is not so smart.

"Above all just doing the right thing"?????

Well there you have the world's biggest subjective qualifier I have ever witnessed. To progressives "doing the right thing" has nothing to do with laws, ethics, morality, truthfulness, or right things! Those concepts are outdated and situational.

Donald Trump refuses to prosecute anyone. Anyone!


Time will tell.

It's pretty obvious that roll out of the bad news is being done in such a fashion to slowly prepare the uninformed and often highly partisan public for what is to come and begin eroding pubic support and good will for the guilty players.

It's taken a year or so, but Trump is getting to the point where the public will be able to accept the reality of the abuses of power, criminality, sedition and potentially outright treason that occurred under the Obama Administration.

All this hyperbolic praising of one's colleagues' integrity.

I look around where I work, and I can say with no problem that they and we have integrity. And frankly I think a lot of it.

But to say that theirs (or my) integrity 'can not be overstated' itself bespeaks a lack of it.

Lynch continued: “I have never hesitated to make the hard decisions, guided by the Department of Justice’s core principles of integrity, independence and above all, always doing the right thing. In fact, when President Clinton asked me on the tarmac to slow peddle his wife’s investigation, I knew exactly what the right thing was, seeing as he had brought the old Vince Foster murder weapon with him to our meeting.”

Oh, and by the way, as Lynch was Attorney General and James Comey was FBI Director, these crimes were committed by the top two law enforcement officials in the America .””’

All of them aided & abetted by 97% of the media of the USA.

None of that seemed to apply when Hillary got all those FBI files in the 90’s. 600+++

This has to be true. And somehow someone with a copy of the infamous weiner laptop trove needs to not commit suicide. I pray I live to see all of these a holes exposed.

Loretta Lynch:

“I have never hesitated to make the hard decisions, guided by the Department of Justice’s core principles of integrity, independence and above all, always doing the right thing.

"The Justice Department’s handling of the Clinton email investigation under my leadership was no exception. It was led by a team of non-partisan career prosecutors whose integrity cannot be overstated.”

Lynch — who met with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac just days before deciding not to indict Hillary Clinton — insists she never colluded with Hillary’s campaign.

I hope you are right.
Comey put the noose around his own neck in the interview.
Lying to a judge to spy on Trump should be enough to jail him. Knowing the clinton financed the fake report and not telling Trump and not arresting clinton etc.
