Loretta Lynch Successfully Pressured Comey To Mislead Public Using Clinton Campaign’s Talking Points

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 campaigns spin on the investigation. He said he complied, however, because he believed the media wouldnt 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.

How does someone who’s always “confused” by so many issues end up as FBI Director? Oh.....right.

So an actual case of obstruction he bows to and FAILS to notify anyone of this. But a comment from a new president gets this traitorous jack hole so het up he has to “document” every meeting.
This man should be shot for treason

He said he complied, however, because he believed the media wouldnt buy into that take on it.This Comey comment says it all about what is happening to our country.
Our global media is controlled by foreign anti-American interests. Comey complied with those interests because he was afraid of our foreign controlled media. Almost everybody in DC is afraid.
Trump needs to drain the swamp, if it's even possible.
To: Responsibility2nd
I agree, Comey is loyal to himself, and now he knows he is in deep water...he just outed Lynch by saying she asked him to use ‘matter’ instead of investigation...
And he felt ‘queasy’ when Lynch asked him to do this, but he surely didn't feel ‘queasy’ about Zero or was afraid on him being by himself, but he was with President Trump??? I'm not missing the part of the puzzle here, are you???

Loretta Lynch, the former attorney general under Barack Obama, pressured former FBI Director James Comey to downplay the Clinton email server investigation Well, of course she did. Obama probably told him to do that too, but of course no one has the guts to ask him a question like that.
But, keep in mind... there are different rules for Dems as there are for Repub... and that rule is especially true when talking Obama/Clinton vs someone like Trump.
So.. there we have it.
To: Helicondelta
Every second of this 'Russia investigation' is MEANINGLESS until and unless Hillary is thrown in prison for felonies Comey himself TOLD US she committed.
Why are the DemonRats concerned about Russian intervention in our elections BUT DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT ILLEGAL ALIENS ACTUALLY VOTING IN OUR ELECTIONS!!!!

So, he does what Lynch tells him to do even though he believes it’s wrong but he thinks the media will cover for him. That’s a fireable offense.
Sounds like something Bush would do. Sign something into law he doesn’t believe in and leave it up to the SC to fix it.

Comey is coming across as a mealy-mouthed wimp who is trying to get back at Trump for firing him.

If the Russians released tapes of Clinton and Lynch the Dems and McCain would want to bomb Russia for interfering in a conversation.
