Sen. Dianne Feinstein is right: We need an investigation into Loretta Lynch
Washington Examiner
In 2008, Barack Obama surged past Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary partially because of his pledge to offer a departure from politics as usual in Washington. What Obama gave the country, instead, was an attorney general who allegedly used her office to promote the election of Clinton as his successor.
In a hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee last week, former FBI Director James Comey testified under oath that, in 2016, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch asked him to refer to the investigation in Hillary Clinton's emails as a "matter" rather than an investigation.
According to Comey's testimony:
The Clinton campaign at the time was using all kinds of euphemisms, security matters, things like that for what was going on. We were getting to a place where the attorney general and I were both going to testify and talk publicly about it I wanted to know was she going to authorize us to confirm we have an investigation. She said yes, don't call it that, call it a matter. I said why would I do that? She said, just call it a matter.
"It gave the impression that the attorney general was looking to align the way we talked about our work with the way [the Clinton campaign] was describing that. It was inaccurate," the former FBI director said. "We had an investigation open for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, we had an investigation open at the time. That gave me a queasy feeling."
Even Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., agrees.
