US Senate goes after Loretta Lynch.
#1
I don't know if this should be an investigation... or maybe just call it a 'matter'

Now the Senate goes after Loretta Lynch as Republicans AND Democrats probe
how Obama's attorney general may have slowed down the Hillary Clinton email
investigation.

*Senate Judiciary Committee is demanding answers from former attorney general
Loretta Lynch about her involvement in the Hillary Clinton email case.

*Lynch reportedly assured an Democratic Party official that the election-year probe
wouldn't go 'too far'.

*Republicans and Democrats on the committee sent her a letter on Thursday asking
a list of questions about who she communicated with.

*Republicans fear Lynch interfered directly with the probe.

'The Senate Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into what former Attorney
General Loretta Lynch may have done in 2016 to influence an FBI investigation related to
Hillary Clinton's classified email scandal.

Lynch was widely criticized for meeting with former president Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac
last summer while his wife was under criminal investigation for mishandling classified materials.

Mrs. Clinton, a former secretary of state and at that time the Democratic White House nominee,
kept her State Department work emails on a private email server at her home, obscuring them
from government record-keepers.

She was ultimately not prosecuted even though thousands of classified emails were later
recovered from the server.

The Senate committee asked Lynch in a letter on Thursday to describe her involvement in the
Clinton probe. Both Republicans and Democrats in the committee's leadership signed it.
The letter cites an April 22 New York Times story that describes a memo 'written by a Democratic
operative who expressed confidence that Ms. Lynch would keep the Clinton investigation from
going too far.'

That document, the Times reported, was recovered from Russian hackers who were unaware
the FBI could see what they had taken from U.S. networks.

The Washington Post described in May 'a Russian intelligence document' that 'cited a supposed
email describing how then-Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch had privately assured someone in
the Clinton campaign that the email investigation would not push too deeply into the matter.'

Fired FBI Director James Comey said during his May 3 Senate testimony that he was prodded to
come forward last July with his findings about Clinton in part because he feared Lynch's activity
could compromise his agency's independence.

'A number things had gone on, some of which I cannot talk about yet,' he said, that made me worry
that the Department leadership could not credibly complete the investigation and decline
prosecution without grievous damage to the American people's confidence in the justice system.'..'
