'I NEVER SAID CLINTON EMAIL INVESTIGATION SHOULDN’T GO TOO FAR,' SAYS EX-ATTORNEY GENERAL LORETTA LYNCH

BY GRAHAM LANKTREE ON 7/7/17 AT 8:44 AM

Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch says she will cooperate fully with a Senate committee probing whether she told presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign that she wouldn’t let an FBI investigation into Clinton’s emails “go too far.”

Lynch called into question the accuracy of a dubious Russian intelligence memo in a letter from her lawyer, Robert Raben, to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s leaders Thursday.

The FBI received the memo in the midst of the 2016 election. The intelligence described (but did not contain) an alleged email sent by former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz stating Lynch told Clinton campaign aide Amanda Renteria that she would curtail an investigation into Clinton's emails.

The probe was investigating whether Clinton criminally mishandled classified information while using a private email server to conduct government business while working as Secretary of State.

Sometimes.

2. Doesn't matter - RW media has all it needs Lynch and Soros

This will consume them for years.

3. Comey used this fake email to intervene in the campaign.

IC told him it was fake but he wanted in so he used it. This investigation is not a good thing for Comey, won't hurt Lynch.

4. If it's a question of who do you trust,

my money is on Lynch 100% over Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
