US Attorney General Loretta Lynch has recused herself from deciding whether Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be charged in the classified email investigation, following outrage over the AG's private Monday meeting with Bill Clinton, the justice department announced Friday morning.
The announcement comes in the wake of accusations that the Obama appointee has a conflict of interest in the case, after she met with the former president on her government plane while on the tarmac of Phoenix, Arizona's Sky Harbor Airport on Monday.
Lynch will discuss the decision during an interview on Friday morning at the Aspen Ideas Festival, an anonymous DOJ official said.
Normally, the AG and other DOJ officials would have the final say in bringing charges in an investigation, but Monday’s 30 minute meeting is thought to have led to the change in protocol.
Although Lynch stressed the two did not discuss official business, she was accused of impropriety and and urged to recuse herself.

Whew. That, combined with the fact that Lynch and Bill Clinton were merely showing off pics of their grandkids, and we can now relax with full confidence that justice will be served and the system isn't rigged.
I want to believe like you, but your an old timer. How many times have we seen them skate?
We're reading from the same script.
I'm not a spy. I just pretend I'm one on Free Republic. Could have been a stiffed psychopathic pizza delivery boy for all I know. (;>
By means of Obama and Lynch’s association with the evil murderous Clinton duo they should now be placed on the suspects’ list.
They may turn up dead as over 100 people have. The Chinese Triad that linked up with the Klintons in Arkansas are still in our country and still take orders on who to assassinate.
Poor Lynch. She has Hilleritis. Her head is still smaller than her backside.
Be very careful, Loretta, that you don’t end up like Vince and the other pile of murdered bodies.
This nation is a Banana Republic.

Yes, we have certainly slipped into the status over the last seven years.
I agree. IT will be interesting to see what he does.
... CLAIMS ignorance? Any first-year law student knows that you don’t talk ex parte to someone involved in legal proceedings that you are involved with. Claims ignorance? ?? She wrote the book. Too arrogant to step aside, too smug to think anyone would see through her cheap charade.
For completeness, the other side of the story:

Halfway through the article on FBI informants discusses Joe Sims, the informant in this particular case I mentioned.
