REPORT: Senate Judiciary to probe whether Lynch tried to THWART Hillary email investigation

The Senate Judiciary Committee is now investigating whether or not Lorreta Lynch tried to thwart Hillary’s email investigation:

CIRCA – The Senate Judiciary Committee announced Friday that is investigating whether former Attorney General Loretta Lynch tried to thwart the FBI’s investigation into then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers, to include Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley; ranking member Dianne Feinstein, D-Ca., Crime and Terrorism Subcommittee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., asked the Justice Department for a private communication between two political appointees obtained by the FBI.

In the memo a Democratic operative “expressed confidence that Ms. Lynch would keep the Clinton investigation from going too far,” according to Grassley’s office.

The inquiry comes as the Judiciary Committee probes the circumstances surrounding the removal of former FBI Director James Comey.

The private communication that was obtained by the FBI was part of a batch of hacked documents obtained by the FBI, and the Justice Department has not responded to requests from Grassley for a copy of the document, Grassley’s office said.

I’m actually glad this investigation is bipartisan, at least from the outset, because it gives it credence. It is a serious issue that needs to be looked into because we all know that Hillary being let off the hook didn’t just magically happen.
