Loretta Lynch Really Doesn’t Want To Talk About Clinton’s Damn Emails

Republicans grilled Lynch at the House of Representatives committee hearing over Justice’s decision not to charge Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the November 8 election.

Democrats on the committee tried repeatedly to steer the hearing to questions about the spate of gun violence that has frayed community-police relations across the country.

Lynch’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee came one week after FBI Director James Comey announced the end of a yearlong investigation into Clinton’s email use during her tenure as secretary of state. Each time, Attorney General Loretta Lynch declined to provide them.

“I accepted that recommendation”.

Gowdy put his finger on the reason Lynch refused to answer.

When asked by a committee member whether “with the absence of a header, to her those three documents were not classified?” The in-depth investigation regarding Clinton, in which she used an unauthorized server to communicate classified information, would have warranted multiple days of interviews.

Letter-writer Mark Rawlins’ suggestion that the Republicans are responsible (even in part) for Hillary Clinton’s lying about her use of a private e-mail server, and the sending and receiving of classified materials, made me laugh out loud.

The State Department said Wednesday that it plans to review and make public several thousand emails that FBI investigators recovered from the computer server used by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

The announcement immediately drew criticism from Republicans and raised concerns that Clinton was treated on a double standard.

Rep. Trey Gowdy blasted Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Wednesday, arguing her testimony before Congress was “a total waste of time and a total disservice to my fellow citizens”.

“I refer you to Director Comey’s discussion for that”, she said at one point.

“Because if you’re not willing to rule out future employment in the Hillary Clinton administration, what that means is the American people have every right to wonder whether or not you looked at this through a fair and impartial lens”, the congressman said.

While Republicans pulled Lynch before the committee to get more answers on Clinton, the recent headlines have drawn other topics to the forefront.

So like the result or not (Many Americans do not; a Washington Post/ABC News poll released Monday showed 56 percent of American adults disapprove of the FBI’s decision.), the federal government’s criminal probe of how Clinton handled classified information is over.

Democrats criticized Republicans for their focus on Clinton’s emails instead of trying to pass legislation on guns or deal with issues of policing. He called the Republican-led hearing a “fishing expediton” and a “reckless legislative joy ride” created to “crash and burn”.

“In light of those contradictions, the department should investigate and determine whether to prosecute Secretary Clinton for violating statutes that prohibit perjury and false statements to Congress, or any other relevant statutes”, the two congressmen wrote.
