US Attorney General Loretta Lynch has recused herself from deciding whether Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be charged in the classified email investigation, following outrage over the AG's private Monday meeting with Bill Clinton, the justice department announced Friday morning.
The announcement comes in the wake of accusations that the Obama appointee has a conflict of interest in the case, after she met with the former president on her government plane while on the tarmac of Phoenix, Arizona's Sky Harbor Airport on Monday.
Lynch will discuss the decision during an interview on Friday morning at the Aspen Ideas Festival, an anonymous DOJ official said.
Normally, the AG and other DOJ officials would have the final say in bringing charges in an investigation, but Monday’s 30 minute meeting is thought to have led to the change in protocol.
Although Lynch stressed the two did not discuss official business, she was accused of impropriety and and urged to recuse herself.

“LL did this so she can NOT stop the indictment
This leads to Hillary being indicted prior to the convention
DNC drafts _________ to replace her on the convention floor”
I like your theory, but there’s a fly in the ointment.
Bill Clinton would not have agreed to participate in this very public spectacle, with its attendant optics, if it didn’t somehow benefit himself, Cankles, and their criminal enterprise. I seriously cannot believe that Slick would have made such a catastrophic miscalculation as this.
Here’s a theory that might explain his actions:
Slick and Lynch intentionally did this to force Obama into a compromised position. Lynch now MUST indict, when Coney delivers the evidence and his recommendation. This knocks Hillary out of the race and sets her up to be pardoned by Obama. She and Bubba then walk with millions of dollars in influence peddling, and are even shielded from reprisal from their ‘donors’ because she was forced out.
Meanwhile, Obama gets an alternate successor, in the guise of Biden or some other white knight.
I’m sure that it’s already understood among the top democrat strategists, that Hillary will lose in a landslide to Trump. They must execute Plan B at once, if they’re to have any hope of beating him in the Fall, and preserving the globalist agenda.
The obvious plan is Hittlery will win with a few million illegals and dead people all voting for her, then Lynch will be her SCOTUS nominee. McCon-all will continue to be the face of moderate, reasonable gOp'ers and he'll lie to conservatives while greasing the skids for her filibuster-proof confirmation. No one can refuse a black women regardless of integrity or qualifications and no one except Cruz and maybe 1 or 2 others will utter a peep.
When the Host was identified as a Washington Post Reporter, and he gave his introductory question(Joke?), I turned the TV off!
The Democrat Junta is in place and we are now in the darkest of times.
Obama has achieved the Change he promised the LIV!
She recused herself? That’s news to me.
And yet this remains in the “breaking news” sidebar.
“Lynch never discussed the meeting until she was forced to address it. So it appears that she got caught and screwed up big time.”
Political operators at Clinton and Lynch’s level don’t do anything by accident, nor do they ‘get caught’ in public in such a compromising position.
Clinton and Lynch did this intentionally, in order to steer events in a direction beneficial to all of the major players.
*keep our own council.*
Thanks, for the sound advice and term!

You might want to re-think your last statement. Recall that Bill Clinton got caught in the ultimate compromising position.
I’m no fan of the Washington Post, but the reporter didn’t do a bad job. He was fairly persistent with her. That said, he could still have been tougher in terms of presenting some ‘what if’ scenarios to her. But realistically, he’s a WP guy so the expectations were low to begin with.
With LL gone they (DOJ) will vote to not indict because they all want a job if The Hildabeast wins. Voting against her will ruin their career. There is no justice in the DOJ. This nation is a Banana Republic.
“Recall that Bill Clinton got caught in the ultimate compromising position.”
Oh, I thought of that while I was posting, but the two situations are actually apples and oranges.
Clinton and Lynch intended for the world to see this. These people are far too sophisticated to bungle such a thing. If they really wanted to meet in private, it could have been done with ease. Recall that Bubba slipped his Secret Service detail on at least two occasions to visit Lolita Island.
Lynch stating that the Clinton meeting has "cast a shadow over how this case may be perceived" sounds like an admission of an ethical lapse— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) July 1, 2016
DOJ officials are barred from taking acts which may "cast" just such a "shadow," and Lynch now admits that the shadow has been cast.— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) July 1, 2016
when you are at the top of an organization and you are corrupt or have a conflict of interest, the matter has to go outside of your sphere of power or influence. Giving it to subordinate who’s job is dependent upon you is the same as no recusal.
Obama will indict, then offer Hillary pardon to step down before convention. Obama gets Joe Biden/Elizabeth Warren. https://t.co/SEOWit9Tci— Wayne Allyn Root (@WayneRoot) July 1, 2016
As much as I respect WAR and like his commentaries, I don't think this will happen.
Wonder who Obama fears most, H Clinton or Valerie Jarrett?
I hope Jesus comes back soon.
Not to mention that the Clinton Foundation is a much bigger nest of corruption than the e-mail server. Tick, tock, tick, tock ...
Interesting comment.
I’m sure this ‘chance’ meeting had more to do with the felonious law breaking with the 2B$ Clinton foundation that funds FOB’s (old term for Friends of Bill) with about 90% of the money taken in.
And the corruption grows.
Completely understand. Government-controlled media is worse than useless to freedom-loving Americans.
Also, I didn’t mind Windows 3 and never understood why I was urged to upgrade to 3 point 1. But...here we are anyway.
How about “FSB(KGB) Russian controlled media”? Is that better? I have no time for fascist Russia and their mouthpiece organs like Russia Today, sorry.
