Attorney General told FBI director James Comey NOT to send letter to Congress about bureau reopening the investigation into Hillary's emails because it could influence the election outcome

Attorney General Loretta Lynch advised Comey against sending a letter to Congress about the FBI's reopened investigation into Clinton's emails She argued to Comey that he should follow the Justice Department's practice of not taking actions that could influence the election Attorney General Loretta Lynch advised and objected against FBI Director James Comey's move to send a letter to Congress to inform them about the reopening of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

Lynch argued to Comey that he should follow the Justice Department's practice of not taking actions that could influence the outcome of a presidential election, The New Yorker reported on Saturday.

Comey broke from Lynch, who objected to the move along with the Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and independently sent the letter to Congress on Friday, dropping the bombshell about the restarted investigation based on newly discovered emails, rocking Clinton's campaign.

Comey's supporters argue that he had to break away from Lynch and act independently on the issue due to her compromising herself when she had an impromptu visit with former president Bill Clinton late into the investigation earlier this year. Comey broke away and sent a memo to bureau staffers explaining his decision to notify Congress He wrote that the FBI would not 'ordinarily' inform Congress about its ongoing investigations But said he noted he felt an 'obligation to' given that he testified repeatedly in recent months that bureau's investigation was completed On Friday, he sent a letter to eight Republican lawmakers regarding the reopened investigation - rocking Clinton's campaign

From the New Yorker, By Jane Mayer , 01:25 A.M.

"Comey’s supporters argue that he had to act independently, and publicly, because Lynch had compromised herself by having an impromptu visit with Bill Clinton late in the investigation. In the ensuing uproar, Lynch promised to accept Comey’s recommendation on whether to bring charges against Clinton. But, as Miller notes, Comey’s press conference triggered a series of other events, including congressional hearings where Comey was forced to defend his decision not to recommend prosecution. Comey’s letter to Congress on Friday updated his earlier statements that the Clinton e-mail investigation had ended.

God has a sense of humor. The fix was already in and Comey had gone along for the good of his career but probably regretted it, particularly as he was grilled by Congress over something he *knew* was a crime that would send anyone else but a Clinton to jail.

But Hillary is a lesbian and her lover, Huma, needed a beard to ward off rumors so the Clintons hooked her up with Huma. But Weiner couldn’t stop sexting his wanker to underaged girls and he hit on a teenaged girl in North Carolina, across state lines, making that a federal crime.

So the Feds went to get evidence of Weiner’s phone hijinx which led them to his home computers that led them back to Huma which led them back to Hillary! Tell me God’s not in control of this little comedy. A bunch of unrelated little events and now the Hillary Dike has busted at the perfect time to swing the election.

And, just imagine, if Bill and Lynch hadn’t conspired to hush all this up, there might have been time to replace Hillary with another Democrat who might have easily defeated Trump. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Her Heinous thought she had slipped the noose and was home free!

I imagine there is also a “policy” somewhere about not pilfering divorce records that have been sealed by a court and releasing them to the public within 60 days of an election, and we all know how that was respected by Lynch’s boss

Well hey, if the Secretary Of State can pick and choose which policies to follow, let us say setting up a home server and transmitting classified information over it to god knows who for god knows what, all bets are off.

**Title:Attorney General told FBI director James Comey NOT to send letter to Congress**

I thought the AG wanted to leave it all in the FBI’s hands.

After all, she let the FBI decide not to prosecute for traitorous RICO type crimes when it favored HRC.

Now she wants to be involved?

Politics, Bill must have gotten to her again with the old meme #ComplyOrDie

Exactly. I seem to remember a situation where a little-known Muslim DEMOCRAT named, ‘Barack Hussein 0bama’ was running for a Senate seat in Illinois.

Seems that right before THAT election, he got the SEALED sordid details of his opponents DIVORCE decree released to the public.


I remember that to this day, too, Diana!

Socialist Democrats are awful human beings. I’m not saying all of the (R) people are pure as the driven snow, but have you ever seen a political party so willing to do ANYTHING for power, fame and cash?

Disgusting!
