Comey Drops Bomb On Democrat Narrative: Obama AG Lynch Pressured Me To Downplay Clinton Investigation
"At one point, the Attorney General [Lynch] told me not to call it and investigation but instead to call it a 'matter,' which confused and concerned me," the former FBI director told the committee Thursday. "But that was one of the bricks in the load that led me to conclude I have to step away from the [Justice] Department if we're to close this case credibly."
This is not the first time Comey has mentioned that Lynch tried to get him to downplay the Clinton investigation, but in the midst of the Democrat/media frenzy over Trump's alleged pressuring of Comey to drop the Flynn "matter," the former FBI director's statement made under oath exposes the egregious double standard in a glaring way.
"This comes on the heels of Comey saying he largely scrapped the Clinton investigation because of Lynch’s private meeting with Bill Clinton," notes Erick Erickson. "That sounds way more like obstruction of justice than Trump just asking Comey if he might wind down the Flynn investigation when Comey did not do so afterwards."
