Loretta Lynch, the former attorney general under Barack Obama, pressured former FBI Director James Comey to downplay the Clinton email server investigation and only refer to it as a “matter,” Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday.
Comey added later that he was concerned about that direction as it was false. He was further concerned because it aligned with the Clinton campaign’s spin on the investigation. He said he complied, however, because he believed the media wouldn’t buy into that take on it.
Earlier in his testimony, Comey said Lynch instructed Comey not to call the criminal investigation into the Clinton server a criminal investigation. Instead, Lynch told Comey to call it a “matter,” Comey said, “which confused me.”
Comey cited that pressure from Lynch to downplay the investigation as one of the reasons he held a press conference to recommend the Department of Justice not seek to indict Clinton.

Sure sounds like “:Obstruction of Justice” under the New Democrat rules!! ARREST HER FAT ASS!
Comey is a corrupt Hillary shill from the beginning!
That doesn’t count. He didn’t take any notes.
Comey is a spineless POS. He’s so totally compromised. He should just shut the hell up and walk away.
Of she did more than that. What about Brennan?
Well, not only Pres. Trump scared him, so did the fat little Black woman A.G. What a p***y.
So... when Lynch pressured him, he complied.
When Trump hoped to pressure him, he didn’t.
But Trump obstructed...

And Trump says “he hopes...”, Comey does NOT comply and he’s guilty of obstruction?
What a joke our justice system has become.
Don’t hold your breath.
I’ve been predicting this.
Why did the idiot dems put Comney on the stand? All he is doing is further harm to himself, Lynch, Hillary and of course Obammie.
There WAS a White House/Russian hacking connection. The OBAMA White House.
Let the indictments roll.
Think any of the LSM will mention it? Nah, me neither...
Was determining "what the media would buy into" in his job description?
Two people should be heading to jail....lynch and comey.
