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.

DID COMEY REALLY SAY THAT ?
SERIOUSLY ?
To: utahagen
My take as well, too bad he got such a forum to whine.
To: Helicondelta
So there WAS an effort to obstruct justice and obfuscate that Comey DIDN’T report; it just didn’t come from President Trump.

LOL...Comey tells Sessions to not let him be alone with Trump to keep things correct, but he had no problem with Lynch making him lie to protect Hillary talking points!
What an arrogant jerk! Comey needs to be arrested for OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE along with LYNCH!

Nope..Comey allowed Lynch to drag him into ‘Obstruction of Justice’, yet he was afraid to be alone with Trump to protect that from happening...Comey is an arrogant leftist man, who NEVER should have been FBI Director! How did Comey ever get past the bar to be a lawyer???

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

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