Loretta Lynch accuses Comey of misrepresenting key Clinton probe conversation, was 'quite surprised'

It's not a yes or a no, because Trump doesn't launder money like left-wingers would do.

 

I had read the transcript and the excerpt at page 17:

So, a plain understanding of Ms. Lynch’s testimony here is that (she believes) rather than ordering, directing or instructing Comey on what to call the FBI’s investigation of Hillary’s emails, Ms. Lynch was just suggesting that instead of calling it an “investigation” it be called either a “referral”, a “matter” or an “issue”.

It should also be noted that this is Ms. Lynch’s recollection of what she said to Comey, and we know Comey’s recollection is different.

Taking into account that "context" you mentioned, given that Ms. Lynch was Mr. Comey’s boss, it is likely he thought her suggestions were instructions or orders (that’s the usual way a boss’ suggestions are perceived).

It is also true that if Ms. Lynch suggested referral, matter or issue, then she wasn’t saying the FBI had to refer to their Hillary investigation as a matter, she only suggested they call their investigation something other than that and gave him those 3 alternatives.

Ultimately this seems rather trivial and I doubt the legislators (certainly not the Democrats) want to get into whether Ms. Lynch ordered or suggested what the FBI should call their investigation of Hillary's emails, or if Mr. Comey inaccurately recollected a suggestion as an order. What disturbs me is that it has been reported Hillary's campaign team favored the use of the term "matter" as well, and we know Ms. Lynch was 'close' to the Hillary campaign.

 

This is HUGE! Both should be continuously waterboarded until one of them confesses. Trump has recommended long jail sentences for these heinous crimes. Now Trump with his trusty sidekick Bill “Luca Fatzi” Barr by his side, finally the hammer will drop on these soft coup treasonous fiends.

 

Yeah, Comey is a bit of a drama star. He thought Trump gave him an order to go easy on Flynn. Maybe he was telling the truth in both cases.

 

wayerboarding is far from necessary

 

When someone starts a response with "so what" it's an admission of defeat.

 

The investigation into why Hillary wasn't investigated just started and the rats are already turning on each other.

 

Hillary is walking in the woods with a new box of wine, the statute of limitations is up on all her crimes (except losing to Trump).

 

If she was part of the coup attempt she's in trouble but this investigation on the coup attempt isn't really about her. At most she was an accomplice and we need the actual perps brought to justice that abused their power in an attempt to overthrow an elected president.

 

Who were the perps again?

 

That's what this investigation will tell us.

 

Yeah, sure.
I hear Jeb is moving to Canada because of his part in the dossier.

 

The "perps" are numerous, it has been most reported that Ohr, Brennan and McCabe were involved, there are many others who are likely to be named in Barr's de-classifications.

Consider the Papadopoulos caper; who hooked up Mifsud? Who did Mifsud get instructions from? How did Halpern become involved? Who told him what to do? If there was any money involved, there's got to be some accounting for it, where did the funds come from, who authorized the expenditure, was the cost within the budget, how was this paid? Travel expenses for participants Strzok and Priestap, specific instructions, instructions to the FBI attache in London, who does Azra Turk work for, who gave her instructions? How about Downey, who gave him instructions, was there a request from some US intelligence community figure to an Australian counterpart, what instructions did Downey have, were there any disbursements? How did any of those involved report on their assignments, was there any evaluation of their work? We could get the names and positions of a couple dozen functionaries in US intelligence.

Barr's theory is probably that top players like McCabe, Ohr and Brennan were actively involved, I expect this will be evident right away, but it would be interesting to see how McCabe, Ohr and Brennan (among others) implemented their efforts to take down Trump, who did they instruct, how did they coordinate, what steps did they take, how did they adjust their efforts along the way?
