REPORT: Comey confronts Lynch about email assuring Clinton there’d be NO criminal charges…DIDN’T GO WELL

by The Right Scoop

Remember that email we reported on over a month ago where Loretta Lynch said she would make sure Hillary Clinton didn’t face any criminal charges? It’s the one James Comey was asked about in a Senate hearing in open session, and his response was that it required a classified session to discuss.

Well it turns out Comey did discuss it in a classified session where he explained that he confronted Loretta Lynch about this email. Here’s how it went, according to Circa’s Sarah Carter:

Here’s more from Circa:

Ex-FBI Director James Comey has privately told members of Congress that he had a frosty exchange with Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch last year when he confronted her about possible political interference in the Hillary Clinton email investigation after showing Lynch a sensitive document she was unaware the FBI possessed, according to sources who were directly briefed on the matter.

Comey told lawmakers in the close door session that he raised his concern with the attorney general that she had created a conflict of interest by meeting with Clinton’s husband, the former President Bill Clinton, on an airport tarmac while the investigation was ongoing.

During the conversation, Comey told lawmakers he confronted Lynch with a highly sensitive piece of evidence, a communication between two political figures that suggested Lynch had agreed to put the kibosh on any prosecution of Clinton.

Comey said “the attorney general looked at the document then looked up with a steely silence that lasted for some time, then asked him if he had any other business with her and if not that he should leave her office,” said one source who was briefed.

I find this to be completely believable. I mean anyone who was paying attention at all in 2016 knew that Lynch was protecting Hillary as much as she possibly could, which is why she coerced Comey into not recommending charges against Hillary despite the overwhelming evidence.

What’s also interesting about this email is that it came from Russian hackers. I think Trump should declassify that email and make it public. It would sure be more eye opening that his lame tweets like the one from this morning:
