President Obama expected to nominate Loretta Lynch as Attorney General
CNN.com ^ | 11/07/2014 | Evan Perez

Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, is expected to be President Barack Obama's pick for Attorney General, U.S. officials briefed on the matter told CNN.

An announcement is expected in the coming days, though timing is complicated by the president's plans to travel to Asia this weekend.

Lynch is a popular prosecutor who is in her second stint as US Attorney in New York's eastern district, appointed by President Obama in 2010 and also serving in the same post from 1999-2001 under President Bill Clinton.

White House principal deputy press secretary Eric Schultz told CNN in a statement "We don't have any personnel updates for you, and I'm certainly not going to speculate on any decisions before the President announces them."

U.S. Officials says the President's decision is not official until there is a formal announcement from the White House.

Lynch would be the second woman to serve as Attorney General and second African American to hold the post.

Lynch served on the trial team that prosecuted and won convictions against New York City police officers for violating the civil rights of Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant who police sodomized.

Eric Holder and Janet Reno.

She's going to have to be really really really corrupt. Those are some legendary names to live up to.

She's black, female, from New York, a Clinton appointee, and Barky's choice. Already I can smell the corrupt odor of "Just Us" and Affirmative Action favoritsm seeping in like raw sewage.

Foxnews.com: She originally served as U.S. attorney in Brooklyn from 1999 to 2001 before entering private practice. She returned to the position in 2010 and was appointed to the Attorney General's Advisory Committee, a position that required her to spend more time in Washington and drew her closer to Holder.

AGAC was the DOJ component that, with Hillary's State, and the WH, came up with Fast & Furious.

Looks like she'll continue Holder's stonewall and coverup.

Speaking of Sharpton, what has happened to him physically? He looks like he’s lost 125 pounds and just looks ill.

If I were the Republicans, I’d say the nomination is DOA.

Just because.

Worth repeating in larger font....

Its time for the Republican controlled House and Senate to send a "FUBO" message to the White Hut.

Wikipedia has nothing about her being married and going by her photos I would say 75% she is lesbian

NOW I GET IT!!! She is the first “gay” Attorney General of the United States.
