FBI Defied Attorney General Lynch in Announcement on Reopening the Clinton Email Investigation!

In what has been a ridiculously chaotic roller coaster of an election year, we just had another surprising turn of events. FBI Director James Comey’s decision earlier this week to inform Congress that he was reopening the investigation into the Clinton email scandal sent shockwaves throughout the nation. However, earlier today the New Yorker broke the storyexplaining that Comey’s announcement almost didn’t happen. Why? What almost kept him from announcing that the FBI had found more disconcerting Clinton emails?

Loretta Lynch.

 

Yes, the nation’s chief law enforcement officer once again stepped in to try to keep justice from taking place. Jane Mayer, of the New Yorker, explained that Lynch told Comey to keep his mouth shut and stick to the party line of “not commenting on ongoing investigations.”

Comey’s decision to make public new evidence that may raise additional legal questions about Clinton was contrary to the views of the Attorney General, according to a well-informed Administration official. Lynch expressed her preference that Comey follow the department’s longstanding practice of not commenting on ongoing investigations…

According to the Administration official, Lynch asked Comey to follow Justice Department policies, but he said that he was obliged to break with them because he had promised to inform members of Congress if there were further developments in the case. He also felt that the impending election created a compelling need to inform the public, despite the tradition of acting with added discretion around elections.
