Senate announces probe of Loretta Lynch behavior in 2016 election

In a letter to Ms. Lynch, the committee asks her to detail the depths of her involvement in the FBI’s investigation, including whether she ever assured Clinton confidantes that the probe wouldn’t “push too deeply into the matter.”
Fired FBI Director James B. Comey has said publicly that Ms. Lynch tried to shape the way he talked about the investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s emails, and he also hinted at other behavior “which I cannot talk about yet” that made him worried about Ms. Lynch’s ability to make impartial decisions.
The probe into Ms. Lynch comes as the Judiciary Committee is already looking at President Trump’s firing of Mr. Comey.
Sen. Charles E. Grassley, chairman of the committee, said the investigation is bipartisan. The letter to Ms. Lynch is signed by ranking Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and also by Sens. Lindsey Graham and Sheldon Whitehouse, the chairman and ranking member of the key investigative subcommittee.
Letters also went to Clinton campaign staffer Amanda Renteria and Leonard Benardo and Gail Scovell at the Open Society Foundations. Mr. Benardo was reportedly on an email chain from the then-head of the Democratic National Committee suggesting Ms. Lynch had given assurances to Ms. Renteria, the campaign staffer, that the Clinton probe wouldn’t “go too far.”

Another waste of time and resources. The Senate can't do shite.

Is this a sign of Republicans growing a spine?

Sounds like there is very possibly a case of obstruction that could be made here...certainly as strong if not stronger than any such case against Trump.

No there isn't. Loretta Lynch could have told the FBI to stop investigating, just the same as Trump could. See how the chain of command works?

I agree. I doubt the republicans would push this if there wasn't a strong case to begin with.

Isn't there a difference in telling someone to end an investigation and actively trying to obstruct one?

Chain of command? So you're suggesting Obama be indicted.
According to Comey, did Trump say...quoting you..."stop investigating"? No.
We'll see where the investigations lead, but if Lynch obstructed justice, she should be prosecuted.

And let's not forget one more important factor: the key Senator who is pushing this. And she's not a Republican.

She'll plead the fifth and skate away. It's a bunch of he said she said with no result. Welcome to the show.

Are you new to the PoliBoard? You're never supposed to read the article, just start autistically screeching depending on which side you're on.

Don't have to.... I know how it will end. Nothing to see here. Move along.
