Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Wednesday promised that any Justice Department review of possible criminal charges connected to Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information would be "independent," without regard to politics or outside influence.
While a recommendation from the FBI about how to proceed could be months away, Lynch promised House lawmakers that the Justice Department's course of action will be guided by the law alone.
"That matter is being handled by career independent law enforcement agents -- FBI agents -- as well as career independent attorneys in the Department of Justice," Lynch told a House Appropriations subcommittee. "They follow the evidence, they look at the law and they'll make a recommendation to me when the time is appropriate." "This will be conducted as every other case, and we will review all the facts and all the evidence and come to an independent conclusion as to how to handle it," she maintained.
Lynch's comments echo those of FBI Director James Comey, who has previously pledged to Capitol Hill that his bureau doesn't "give a rip about politics."

Any link to that testimony? I need to search C-SPAN....
Sure she will.
I think that server is in big trouble, but they probably probably not discover any link to Hillary.
...but after the election.
I think Hillary was just put on notice. Independent review could mean a special prosecutor which could drag things out rather than immediately filing charges and submitting the evidence to a grand jury.
LL going to be unbiased? fat chance. She will do what her boss tells her to do.
Hillary, Obama and Lynch will give the server an Office Space style beating as punishment for its crimes.
"What the %$$% does TS/SCI Load Email even mean?"
“independent” of facts. not “independent” of partisanship.
She’s probably already got the report written.
“Review” ‘Nuff said.
In other words a typical Obama investigation. “I have investigated myself and found no evidence of wrong doing.”
She’s probably already got the report written.
Nppe. This is run out the clock time wasting from Team Obama-Clinton. No need for ANOTHER DOJ review. That’s what the FBI is for!
“”Independent review could mean a special prosecutor “”
That was my first thought...I don’t see how an INDEPENDENT review could be done WITHOUT a special prosecutor. That’s up to Congress so they ought to prepare for it right NOW!!!
Yeah right, Loretta should be lynched.
Is the FBI slow walking this? The email issue has been going on for nearly year already.
In related but unreported news, Don Vito Corleone announced that an independent investigation of his family’s business would be conducted by Mike Hagen.
I wonder how if these are the same Career Prosecutors that found no illegality in the snuggling of Weapons to Drug Cartel thugs in mexico by the BATF?
