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.

What did Hillary call it? An inquiry? I remember her making sure no one called it an investigation. I can’t remember the “special wording” she used.
all of this just proves how right DJT was about the need to drain the swamp.
Obama appointed him? I just read somewhere it was Bush. Too tired to fact check mayb tomorrw.
The man really didn’t take his very important job all that seriously did he? So glad he’s fired. Ugh.
He knows too much about too many powerful and corrupt people.
Time, as it is said, will tell.
Joe good to hear from you.
Comey, the democrat Comedy for America has gone from the protector of the Deep State Criminals/thugs to being a dangerous liability after yesterday’s hearing.
He has been protecting the rat Criminals like the Clinton’s for close to two decades, overtly and covertly!
After yesterday, we will some real journalists really investigate Comey’s criminal background re his covert protection of Deep State Criminals.
Comey represents more of a danger to the Deep State Criminals than Mark Rich did!
Your odds are probably accurate!
Liberal mainstream media blackouts Lynn’s obstruction news.
The Lynch bitch followed the direct orders of the Obama bastard. Why is no one talking about where her orders came from?
Thank you for your generous words.
Evidence what five lies Rice was doing on the morning talk shows.
It didn’t take much.. and now we know the intelligence dept.. all of it.. is run by weak men who can’t stand pressure. They’d side with the enemy rather than do what is right. I’m waiting on some from the FBI to speak out and clear their reputation that comey destroyed!
It’s unbelievable what they did to Trump for all these months. One by one in the media also, personally... bret and brit... for example.. they all collaborated with the enemy, believing they’d be on the winning side.. you lost didn’t you!!
Our President stands tall among all of Washington!
