FIRESTORM

CNN - Bill Clinton meeting causes headaches for Hillary

New York Times -Meeting Between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch Provokes Political Furor

USA Today - Loretta Lynch, Bill Clinton meeting raises eyebrows

Tuesday, June 31st - Lynch holds news conference calling the meeting a coincidence and denying the two spoke about any matter pending before the Justice Department. Lynch defended the chat with the former president, who appointed her as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

Friday, July 1st - Ms. Lynch says she will "defer" to the recommendations of her staff and the F.B.I. Defer not recuse.

Recuse- to remove oneself from participation to avoid a conflict of interest.

Not participating would require that she'd receive no further information on the case or any input. Out of the loop in other words.

As stated in the U.S. Attorneys’ Manual, “The requirement of recusal does not arise in every instance, but only where a conflict of interest exists or there is an appearance of a conflict of interest or loss of impartiality.”​

Saturday, July 2nd - FBI interviews Hillary Clinton for 3 1/2 hours. No oath taken. No transcript. FBI Director does not attend.

Sunday, July 3rd - Presumably everybody goes to church and prays.

Monday, July 4th -Presumably nobody is interested in anymore fireworks.

Tuesday, July 5th - At 11:15 AM Director Comey announces no charges will be filed, At 11:47 AM Air Force One lands in Charlotte, NC with President Obama and Hillary Clinton aboard on their very first joint campaign appearance. Presumably there was no concern at all on the President's part as to what Director Comey might have decided regarding Hillary Clinton's future.

Wednesday, July 6th- Loretta Lynch accepts Director Comey's recommendation. Case closed.

Now I'd ask anyone that thinks Bill Clinton is not effective to consider how in 8 days he wound up an investigation that began nearly a year ago simply by chatting about his grandchildren.

July 24, 2015 - The inspectors general at the State Department and Director of National Intelligence ask the Justice Department to review whether classified information was compromised in Clinton’s use of private email.

Thursday, July 7th - Director Comey testifies before House Oversight and Government Reform Committee

There certainly wasn't any time wasted on deliberations, was there? Talk about your political shot gun wedding.

There's no excuse for not recommending prosecution, especially if he thought they weren't going to prosecute ! That makes his recommendation even more important. And it is inexcusable for Comey to not recommend prosecution for the blatant and repeated violations of the Espionage Act. The number one crime the FBI is set up to investigate is espionage. Comey makes an absolutely stupid defense for not doing his job, he goes with precedent. He is literally saying no one ever did so much to break those laws so badly, so there is no precedent ... okay, how is that a good reason not to prosecute? No one had ever dared to do what Hillary did, so we should let her get away with it. Amazing logic. This was probably the most important Law on the books for the FBI to uphold. It safeguards the state secrets of the nation and the FBI is supposed to safeguard the system that holds those secrets; Comey has left the nation totally vulnerable as well as everyone who works in that system.
