Attorney General Loretta Lynch refused to discuss her decision not to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, despite intense criticism from House Republicans.
Days after FBI Director James Comey testified for nearly five hours in one House committee, Lynch took a markedly different tack before a separate panel.
She repeatedly refused to discuss details of the Clinton case, referred matters back to the FBI and at times appeared to go out of her way not even to say the former secretary of State's name, instead referring obliquely to “the matter.”
“While I understand that this investigation has generated significant public interest, as attorney general, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on the underlying facts of the investigation or the legal basis for the team’s recommendation,” Lynch said.
“I received a briefing from the team,” she added, which included FBI investigators and career prosecutors. “I accepted that recommendation.”
The repeated dodges did not sit well with Republicans, who nonetheless peppered her with questions about her deferral of judgment in the Clinton case while declining to completely recuse herself from the issue.
“The concern here is about your sworn oath to uphold the laws,” Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) told Lynch after a series of questions she declined to address. “And to conclude that no prosecution would take place without examining and drawing conclusions regarding the questions that I’ve just asked does not seem to be a responsible way to uphold your constitutionally sworn oath.”
“You are in charge of the Department of Justice. The buck stops with you,” added Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.). “I am concerned that you have deferred the authority that is yours by law to Director Comey.”

COWARDS!! CORRUPTED COWARDS!!
Kabuki theater is right!!! And just in time for this election year.
Th RINOcrats will whine and complain and wet their pants. But they will not initiate or even call for impeachment of the Traitorobama kakistocrats because they know they are as guilty of supporting Traitorobama by not demanding the impeachment of his regime for the past 7 and a half years.
That’s talking about the way all humanity is born, sadly.
If any of us are in a better shape at all, it is because of the grace of God.
The Holy One of Courage is the only place to go when you have a corrupted coward problem.
“GOP rips into Lynch.”
translation: Scared congressmen (who have no intention to try to stop this ongoing tyranny) throw a hissy fit for the cameras.
Questioning at about 2:05 said she did not do anything - just accepted the FBI team. Then later being questioned by Gowdy she says she independently came to the conclusion she would not prosecute Hillary. Which is it? Did she perjure herself?
“You got some ‘splaining to do, Loretta”
I think that pretty much sums it up. Must be why so many like Trump. Anybody that’s agains all these criminals in government gets our support.
“Get Back, Loretta!”
Fatlegs ugly-a$$ is not serving justice. She is serving democrat interests. She and her boss are both corrupt.
THe entire FedGov needs to be, shut down, every person who was hired during the Onambla Admin should be fired
She has basically pleaded the fifth. How are you going to nail her for perjury? SHe hasn't said a dang thing during the entire hearing.
GOP...either indict Lynch, Clinton and Comey for espionage and accessories to espionage, or STFU.

They don’t care. They’re running this despotic government and no one can touch them.

Wrong! Lynch and Comey take their marching orders from

who is busy transforming America....
It’s almost as though people who have a conflict of interest in a case shouldn’t be allowed to determine innocence.
They need to ask her about her contact with Clinton and other things going on. There are no doubt people ready to rat on the system. This is war and there is no tomorrow.
They already asked her about her meeting with the ex-perv-in-chief. The Justice Dept. is staffed with loyal Obot drones, so don’t expect anyone there to be blowin’ any whistles.
“Oh my gosh, it was horrifying what the mean old GOP guys did.” What a bunch of cowardly schmucks. Sam-ole, sam-ole crap.
“The Justice Dept. is staffed with loyal Obot drones, so don’t expect anyone there to be blowin’ any whistles”
Not everybody.
