Comey Book: Classified Info Would Have ‘Cast Serious Doubt' On Loretta Lynch's Independence In Clinton Email Investigation
2018-04-13
"[DailyCaller] Former FBI director James Comey wrote in his new book that classified information, still unknown to the public, could have "cast serious doubt" on Loretta Lynch’s ability to investigate Hillary Clinton’s email server in 2016.

ABC News reports, "Comey writes that he felt obligated to take more of a personal role as the public face of the investigation rather than deferring to then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch ‐ in part because of something involving Lynch that he cryptically refers to as a ’development still unknown to the American public to this day.'"

The government learned of this information in 2016. The book does not reveal anything about the information.

Comey also wrote that 'the unverified material would undoubtedly have been used by political opponents to cast serious doubt on the attorney general’s independence in connection with the Clinton investigation.'"

In order to believe this dirtsicle dropped by Comey on Lynch, we have to suspend disbelief for the balance of the book. Clever.

#14  There is no justice if Comey does not end up in jail. At the least his pension should be revoked.

#10  So I just asked her, there on that airplane, I said 'Darlin', how long has it been since you had a nice long roll in the hay with a guy like me who knows what for?'

#9  "A Higher Loyalty", a picaresque novel where the self-styled hero is also the author; where the hero is apotheosized to the level of a deity and a legend in his own mind.

#8  If Comey is right wouldn't proper legal procedure have been Lynch recusing herself and the official designated by law to replace the AG in case of recusal making the decision?

It looks like Comey just extralegally seized the power to decide this matter because no one objected.

#5  Ref #4. Yes, along with Obama.

Nothing lately on the Clinton clandestine servers, Platte River Networks, or the Awan bros. All necessary steps. As you know, the Russians were attempting to monitor.

Lynch and Hillary were both using email aliases and communicating with each other using those aliases.

A clandestine love affair btwn Lynch and the Hildebeest? A Huma threesome? A Cory Booker-Lynch love child? ....A Bill Clinton-Lynch-Huma threesome ?

#2  Do they include a complementary box of 'urine yellow' and 'dogturd brown' crayons for coloring in this cartoon book?

#1  A law is needed. No bureaucrat or appointed official of the federal government are allowed to write a book for 10 years after their official departure, to stop people from writing a book 10 minutes after they are fired.
