Ousted FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that he suspected former Attorney General Loretta Lynch was in cahoots with the Hillary Clinton campaign last summer.
Lynch, he said, told him not to refer to the probe into Clintons private email server as an investigation.
She said just call it a matter. That concerned me because that language tracked how the campaign was talking about the FBIs work, he said.
Former President Bill Clintons surprise meeting with Lynch at an Arizona airport also prompted him to go public with results of the FBI probe into the email server.
That was the thing that capped it for me, that I had to do something separately to protect the credibility of the investigation, which meant both the FBI and the Justice Department, Comey said

Comey will skate on this on the meaning of the word "leak." Comey made a point of writing down in prepared statement that what he leaked was not classified.
Boy! Nothing gets by Comey!
USA 3rd world government bump for later...
He had evidence that Lynch and Cinton were working to obstruct and bury the investigation. Lynch would not allow a grand jury be formed to give Comey full investigative powers and and she was providing sweetheart immunity deals with targets to both impede the investigations and prevent prosecution.
If Comey would have submitted the results to Lynch, she would have formed a grand jury, sandbagged the investigation and then wrapped the information up via grand jury secrecy so the American people would never know what happened.
Instead, Comey went public with the information to protect himself and the FBI because if he allowed Lynch to execute her cover up operation FBI agents would have went public.
Comey did the best he could under the circumstances, if for no other reason to protect himself in case Trump was elected and the case was revisited.
Most of his efforts since then seem to have been intended to cover his liability in the unfolding FISA unmasking scandals.
“Suspects” she was?? Really? No sh*t Sherlock! What a “spin around in circles wind of toy” idiot.
He meets with the FBI Leadership Team after his Feb. 14th meeting with Trump to discuss the conversation he had with Trump on Flynn. But did he bother to meet with this same Leadership Team over being pressured by the AG on the Clinton investigation? He claims he was very concerned about the Russian interference into the election, and the threat to this country, but he wasn't that concerned about Hillary's mishandling of classified info, sending it to every Tom, Dick or Harry, and which could have ended up in the hands of not only the Russians, but in the hands of everyone of our foreign enemies.
The guy continually contradicts himself.
You don’t protect integrity by covering up, as he did. Why are we hearing about Lynch only now?
Comey set up the dinner with President Trump?
Thanks for this great summary!
Comey was a Bushie. And remember, Bill us W’s brother from different mother.
Comey committed perjury.
Wow-—bump for later read.
No, you are right he was in a bad position but he always makes the wrong decision. He should have told the AG to appoint a special prosecutor. He shouldn’t have gone public unless he quit. He should have bit the bullet and done his job, not make up new rules for James Comey.
Seriously, no reasonable prosecutor would bring a perjury case against Comey for this, any more than any reasonable prosecutor would bring an obstruction case against Trump for "Hope Flynn thing stops."
Trump had no idea the corruption runs so deep. Remember the old saying “when you’re up to your ass in alligators it’s hard to remember your initial objective was to drain the swamp”. The Alligators go all the way to the bottom at the GS1 level. Baby alligators. But they still bite.
Proving it depends on one's interpretation of the word in context, kinda like what pledging "loyalty" means or "seeing your way through" means.
Which adds another crime...’Conspiracy’ to obstruct justice, and defraud the American people of Clinton’s prosecution. So add Clinton to the equation, if involved, on ‘tarmac’? That’s three involved in conspiracy, wonder how many more?

All things considered....why didn’t the FBI subpoena those medical records in first place?
HOW COME THEY AREN’T CONCERNED ABOUT ILLEGAL ALIENS ACTUALLY CASTING VOTES IN OUR ELECTIONS??
Because illegals vote Dem? I guarantee if they tended to vote R or even half and half and you would see Pelosi herself laying bricks for the wall.
Either Comey is the new Inspector Clouseau or the Biggest Liar on TV right now.
His history with Lynch goes way back. Here is what happened.
Lynch meets on the Phoenix runway Bill “Big Dog” Clinton.
Big Dog tells Lynch to close it all down. Lynch tells Comey what the orders are from Big Dog and guess what that is what happened.
The Corruption is right there in front of all of his and yet we are not demanding what needs to be done.
