They got a peaceful queasy feelin’

And I know they won't let me down, cause they're already standing on shaky ground.

As democrats begin to push away from the soup of Russian collusion, the cauldron in which they have been cooking up their scheme has boiled over, but this time it might just scorch them. The "coincidental" meeting between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch on the tarmac in Phoenix always stunk to high heaven, but the skunk just might have been sighted.

Although Lynch claimed the meeting was a social one, no one in their right mind bought it.

“Our conversation was a great deal about his grandchildren. It was primarily social and about our travels. We talked about former Attorney General Janet Reno, for example, whom we both know, but there was no discussion of any matter pending for the department or any matter pending for any other body. There was no discussion of Benghazi, no discussion of the State Department emails, by way of example.”
That would be in no small part because Lynch promised Clinton that the investigation into the Clinton email scandal wouldn't "go too far."

We also learned that Lynch basically squashed Comey's investigation when she ordered him to refer to the Clinton investigation as a "matter" and not an "investigation."

That gave Comey what Comey described as a "queasy feeling." 

Comey said her request gave him a “queasy feeling” and also “concerned” him “because that language tracked with how the [Clinton] campaign was talking about how the FBI was doing its work.”

Comey said this gave him the "impression" Lynch was trying to match the wording of the FBI with the Clinton campaign.

“I don’t know whether it was intentional or not,” Comey added. “But it gave the impression that the attorney general was trying to align how we describe our work with the way it was being described in a political campaign.”

“It was inaccurate. 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,” he continued.

It is fairly obvious that Lynch was sending Comey a message, and Comey complied. In fact, Comey even ignored the law in doing so. While on the one hand Comey was able to divine Donald Trump's mind but was unable to divine Hillary Clinton's mind, finding no intent to mishandle classified information. Intent is not a necessary factor in the mishandling of top secret information and ignorance is no defense.

The disclosure of Lynch's directive to Comey also made Sen. Dianne Feinstein queasy an she called for an investigation into the matter:

Comey testified on Thursday that Lynch instructed him, without explanation, to call the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use a private email server as secretary of a state a “matter” instead of an investigation. Lynch’s request, Comey said, made him feel “queasy” as it appeared she was “looking to align the way we talked about our work with the way the political campaign was describing the same activity, which was inaccurate.”

“I would have a queasy feeling, too,” Feinstein admitted in a Sunday morning interview on CNN. “I think we need to know more about that and there’s only way to know about it, and that’s to have the judiciary committee take a look at that.”

That peaceful queasy feeling has now settled into Adam Schiff (D-CA):

WASHINGTON – Borrowing a line from ousted FBI director James Comey, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Sunday he’s “queasy” about the possibility of former Attorney General Loretta Lynch meddling in the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

“It does give me a queasy feeling as well,” said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Schiff was siding with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) who also aid she felt “queasy” over the thought Clinton’s email investigation may have become politicized by Lynch.

Appropriately, the Senate Judiciary Committee, seeking to remedy all that queasiness, has opened a probe into the Lynch-Clinton chicanery:

“Queasy feeling” is like ‘made me sick.’

Being summoned by Congress is bad for Loretta's all-you-can-eat dining on the taxpayers' credit card.

She'll have to go on a crash diet to fit into her off-the-rack Walmart suit....
and get shoes that fit her size 10 feet..... squeezed into her 1950's size 8 shoes.

Remember that they all thought Hillary was as good as elected when Bill stupidly met Loretta on the tarmac.

Never dawned on them they’d have to answer for this outrageous obstruction of justice.

I wonder if Lynch will just plead the 5th, and that will be the extent of it? Speaking of the 5th, I wonder if Lois Lerner will ever be called on the carpet for her criminal activities?

A PEEK INTO THE DEVIOUS MINDS OF THE CROOKED CLNTONS--Comey said Lynch's request to disguise the issue as a matter “tracked with how the [Clinton] campaign was talking publicly about how the FBI was doing its work.”

Comey said this gave him the "impression" Lynch was trying to match the wording of the FBI with the Clinton campaign.

“I don’t know whether it was intentional or not,” Comey added. “But it gave the impression that AG Lynch was trying to align how the FBI describes its work with the way it was being described by the Clintons in a political campaign.”

“It was inaccurate. The FBI had (not a matter), it had an investigation open at the time of the Lynch request. That gave me a queasy feeling,” Comey continued.

Well, Now! The Rats can all breathe easier now. Every one of them have announced how Lynch’s directives made them feel queasy. So now they can claim their personal sinlessness and go back to business as usual. Clinton and Lynch need fear no further liability. They’re all immunized.

"Troubling" is not the word I would use. "Infuriating" gives a better description.

what nobody talks about is the circumstances about how the meeting came about - If we can assume ed klein's account is true.

according to ed klein's "Guilty as Sin":

Bill Clinton’s private jet was cleared for takeoff and was taxiing toward the active runway at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport when a Secret Service agent informed him that Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s plane was coming in for a landing.

“Don’t take off!” Bill barked.

As his plane skidded to a halt and then headed back to its parking space, Bill grabbed a phone and called an old friend — one of his most trusted legal advisers.

It was June 27, 2016 — one year into the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

“Bill said, ‘I want to bushwhack Loretta,’ ” the adviser recalled. “ ‘I’m going to board her plane. What do you think?’ And I said, ‘There’s no downside for you, but she’s going to take a pounding if she’s crazy enough to let you on her plane.’

“He knew it would be a huge embarrassment to Loretta when people found out that she had talked to the husband of a woman — the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party — who was under criminal investigation by the FBI,” the adviser continued. “But he didn’t give a damn. He wanted to intimidate Loretta and discredit [FBI Director James] Comey’s investigation of Hillary’s emails, which was giving Hillary’s campaign agita.”

Bill hung up the phone and turned to a Secret Service agent.

“As soon as her plane lands,” he said, “get the attorney general on the phone and say the president would like to have a word with her.”

Once inside Lynch’s plane, Bill turned on the Clinton charm. He gave Lynch’s shoulder an affectionate squeeze and shook hands with her husband, Stephen Hargove.

“Bill said he could tell that Loretta knew from the get-go that she’d made a huge mistake,” his adviser said. “She was literally trembling, shaking with nervousness. Her husband tried to comfort her; he kept patting her hand and rubbing her back.

“Bill made small talk about golf and grandchildren and [former Attorney General] Janet Reno, and he kept at it for nearly a half-hour. It didn’t make any difference what they talked about; all he wanted to do was send a message to everyone at Justice and the FBI that Hillary had the full weight of the Clinton machine, the Democratic Party, and the White House behind her.

“It was clearly tortuous for Loretta. Bill told me later that he noticed there were beads of sweat on her upper lip.”

Frankly, I don’t believe any of it——sounds like agit-prop from a PR machine hired for Lynch——trying to exonerate her now that she’s in the crosshairs of the law.

What I’d like to know is if Sessions can reopen the investigation into Clinton’s email server.

Comey forgave her, but he was just head of the investigation.

As far as I know, no decision was made by the Attorney General at the time, Loretta Lynch.

So why can’t Sessions pick up where Comey left off and say, “I don’t agree with your conclusion that she’s “not guilty” and I’ve decided to indict or renew the investigation?”

Where did “matter” come from? I know it’s used in the South.
