You Can Thank These 20 Republicans for Loretta Lynch
This was a bad week for justice and the rule of law.
Tuesday, FBI Director Comey made his official recommendation to not bring charges against Hillary Clinton and subsequently on Wednesday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch accepted that recommendation. She then made the official announcement that the Department of Justice is closing its investigation into Clinton’s emails.
As Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin explained Tuesday, a special prosecutor should’ve been appointed from the beginning because the Obama administration, and Obama’s appointee Loretta Lynch, never intended to prosecute Clinton.
Lynch’s private meeting at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport with former President Bill Clinton combined with the mounting evidence against Hillary that is continually being swept under the rug only affirms the special treatment and consideration Hillary has received.
But how did Loretta Lynch become America’s top cop, albeit a corrupt one, with a GOP controlled Senate?
Republicans had to vote for her, of course.
So who were the Republicans who voted to advance Lynch’s nomination to final confirmation? They were:
Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. (F, 19%)
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. (F, 34%)
Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C. (F, 43%)
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va. (F, 27%)
Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss. (F, 27%)
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine (F, 12%)
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. (F, 47%)
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas (F, 46%)
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. (F, 50%)
Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo. (F, 47%)
Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C. (F,33%)
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah (F, 37%)
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. (D, 60%)
Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill. (F, 19%)
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. (F, 44%)
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio (F, 49%)
Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. (F, 55%)
Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D. (F, 33%)
Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. (F, 48%)
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C. (F, 33%)
These 20 Republicans were instrumental in the confirmation process of an Attorney General who has let Hillary Clinton off the hook. Justice won’t find Clinton in a court of law. But perhaps it will find her, and the Republicans who confirmed the AG that let her off, at the ballot box.
