LYNCH LIES

Loretta Lynch was briefly the Attorney General of the United States – one of two sock-puppets selected by then-President Barack Obama (the other was Eric Holder).

Excerpted from Paul Sperry’s article in the New York Post:

When former Attorney General Loretta Lynch testified last year about her decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information, she swore she never talked to “anyone” on the Clinton campaign. 

The Senate Judiciary Committee, which has launched a bipartisan investigation into Lynch for possible obstruction of justice, recently learned of the existence of a document indicating Lynch assured the political director of Clinton’s campaign she wouldn’t let FBI agents “go too far” in probing the former secretary of state.

Lynch’s lawyer says she is cooperating with committee investigators, who are seeking answers to several questions, as well as relevant documents. Among other things, they want to know if she or any of her Justice Department staff “ever communicated with Amanda Renteria,” who headed Clinton’s political operations during the campaign. Renteria, who has been identified in the document as the senior Clinton campaign aide with whom Lynch privately communicated, has also been asked to testify.

During the House Judiciary hearing, Rep. David Trott (R-Mich.) slammed Lynch for failing to recuse herself from the Clinton investigation despite meeting privately with the target’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, a week before the then-attorney general let Hillary skate. Then, referring to rumors of her possibly staying on in a hypothetical Hillary administration, he asked if Lynch had met with anyone on Hillary’s staff during the yearlong investigation, to which she replied: “I have not spoken to anyone on either the campaign or transition or any staff members affiliated with them.”

The committee, however, now knows from a document obtained by the FBI reportedly showing a Democratic operative’s claim that Lynch had privately assured Renteria that the Justice Department “would not push too deeply” into the investigation of Clinton’s private e-mail server, which contained top secret information from the State Department.

Loretta Lynch was able to do what she did without fear of repercussions, because there was no doubt that Hillary Clinton, the candidate she acted on behalf of, would be President and would make sure there wouldn’t be any.

Except Hillary Clinton isn’t the President.  And there is no one using the power of the presidency to shut this investigation down.

All indications are that Loretta Lynch lied about her contact with Clinton’s people, just as all indications are that she lied about the conversation which took place with Bill Clinton.

And, if she lied, she is in trouble.  A lot of it.

As she should be.
