    One of these people lied to congress. The rats are turning on each other here and the coup is being exposed. Obama's attorney general is now in hot water and he is just one step away.

    "Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch has flatly accused former FBI Director James Comey of mischaracterizing her statements by repeatedly alleging, under oath, that Lynch privately instructed him to call the Hillary Clinton email probe a "matter" instead of an "investigation."

    "Comey continued: “The Clinton campaign, at the time, was using all kind of euphemisms — security review, matters, things like that, for what was going on. We were getting to a place where the attorney general and I were both going to have to testify and talk publicly about. And I wanted to know, was she going to authorize us to confirm we had an investigation? ... And she said, ‘Yes, but don’t call it that, call it a matter.' And I said, ‘Why would I do that?’ And she said, ‘Just call it a matter.’”

    "I did not," Lynch responded when asked if she had "ever" told Comey to call the investigation a "matter."

    I have to ask what this matters

    No, that's not meant as a pun

    And why is this entire thing even a concern overall? The FBI investigated, well duh, isn't that what they DO?.

    The overall implication, that anyone daring to even investigate someone had better look out if that person later becomes powerful is VERY chilling and dangerous, much more so than any investigation itself. But since the people doing it are the same ones who have been pushing the old dictator's tactic of "locking up" their political rivals I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

    Suddenly lying under oath to congress doesn't matter when a democrat does it. Lol These two are pointing the finger at each other looking for a way out if this and one of them is in deep ****. I suspect it Lynch. Comey was very specific in his under oath testimony and he's too smart to hang himself out to dry with a very specific like.

    Full title: "Loretta Lynch accuses Comey of misrepresenting key Clinton probe conversation, was 'quite surprised' by his testimony"

    So, now we have an Obama thug accusing another Obama thug of lying.

    Well isn't that special?

    Now that Barr is the new sheriff in town, the Obama thugs are starting to squirm and eat their own.

    This is delicious.

    It’s clear the corrupt Obama DOJ officials are desperately trying to cover their own arses in light of the on going investigation into their corrupt conduct.

    I don’t blame them. It’s also not surprisring that in light of that investigation we are starting to see this happening..they really thought they’d get away with it

    And they would have gotten away with it if Hillary had been elected.

    FOX News is on fire with transcripts today. For the longest time I thought Mueller axed Strzok after he found the texts about FISA judge "Rudy" Contreras ... Nope! Looks like Sideshow Bob wasn't going to axe Strzok at all. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mc...to-remove-strzok-from-mueller-team-transcript I wondered why Bob took a bleach bit to Strzok's phone instead of giving it to the OIG. :;):

    Ahh back to the Clinton era and his word games I see. Remember he was disbarred for his perjury so it didn't work for him either.

    "Obviously, we wanted to testify fully, fulsomely, and provide the information that was needed, but we were not at that point, in September of 2015, ready to confirm that there was an investigation into the email matter -- or deny it," Lynch added. "We were sticking with policy, and that was my position on that. I didn't direct anyone to use specific phraseology. When the Director asked me how to best to handle that, I said: What I have been saying is we have received a referral and we are working on the matter, working on the issue, or we have all the resources we need to handle the matter, handle the issue. So that was the suggestion that I made to him."

    I know the right likes to take things out of context, but it doesn't work in legal circles.

    That was a direct response to a direct under oath question. Somebody lied here and like all criminals as the noise tightens fingers start pointing.

    Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch has flatly accused former FBI Director James Comey of mischaracterizing her statements by repeatedly alleging, under oath, that Lynch privately instructed him to call the Hillary Clinton email probe a "matter" instead of an "investigation."

    Lynch, who testified that Comey's claim left her "quite surprised," made the dramatic remarks at a joint closed-door session of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees last December. A transcript of her testimony was released on Monday by House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga.

    The episode marked the latest public dispute to break out among high-level ex-Obama administration officials, as multiple government reviews of potential FBI and Justice Department misconduct continue.

    High level ex-Obama administration officials seem to be turning on each other.

    Twisting and turning stories to implicate each other.

    Truth be told, I think we will one day hear Obama making statements like these.

    All the rats are pointing at each other right now.

    So who is lying? Lynch or Comey.

    A poll should be added to this thread.

    Who is lying?

    (A) Lynch
    (B) Comeny​

    Someone is not being truthful, or possibly both. Didn't take long for them to start jumping ship.

    I wonder why the MSM doesn't treat the lynch Clinton meeting like the trump tower meeting?

    Imagine if lynch and Clinton were trump supporters what the media would do...

    You are way too nonsense challenged to understand the Democrat elites.

    Mueller was just trying to give Strzok a happy ending. They both must be very disappointed.

    Ohhh... I vote Comeny.... I suggest you arrest this Comeny person and put him/her in jail/prison...

    This just reeks of desperation... I only responded to this because you people can't even get together and open a single thread on the same meaningless topic...
