For the first time, former FBI Director James Comey, who is testifying today before the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that President Obama's Attorney General Loretta Lynch asked him to call the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email scandal a "matter" and not an "investigation."
Under questioning by panel chairman Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), Comey said that he was uncomfortable with the unexpected meeting Lynch had with former President Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac last year. Comey said that meeting convinced him that the independence of the investigation was tainted with regard to the Justice Department and led him to go public with the bureau's findings on Clinton.
This was the actual obstruction of justice that took place and the only obstruction of justice, the fact that Loretta Lynch stood between the FBI and Hillary Clinton in telling James Comey not to call the Hillary probe an investigation. Comey today just pretty much stated that Loretta Lynch committed the crime of obstruction of justice, and proved it by stating that Obama's Attorney General Loretta Lynch ordered Comey to not call the probe an investigation...And the word hope was not used.
For Democrats who think Comey is somehow implicating Trump in crimes, well this Comey testimony has backfired by Comey implicating the Obama administration with obstruction of justice during the FBI's investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server. Comey even stated that this obstruction of justice by Loretta Lynch was pressured and even gave him a queasy feeling, it's now time to reopen the Hillary investigation. This also means Comey needs to go to prison, as this statement against Loretta Lynch shows Comey hearings before today's was filled with perjury.
