By Conservative Tribune. There have long been suspicions among Republicans that the Obama administration’s Department of Justice and FBI coordinated with each other in regard to exonerating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and ending the investigation of her scandalous use of a private email server.
Based on recent commentary from Republican North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus and member of the Oversight Committee, it would appear that a “growing body of evidence” has been uncovered to support and ultimately prove such coordination took place between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and fired FBI Director James Comey, among others.
Independent Journal Review reported on Meadows’ remarks during a Thursday appearance on Fox News, in which the congressman revealed the existence of documents, emails and texts which would prove that Comey had lied under oath to Congress when he assured them there’d been no such coordination on the Clinton investigation.
“We have a number of documents, a growing body of evidence, that now would suggest that Director Comey, who under sworn testimony a number of times said, there was no coordination between Loretta Lynch’s DOJ and (Comey’s) FBI investigation,” stated Meadows.
“Not only was that false … but we have emails that would suggest that testimony was false, and at best misled the American public, at worst was lying to Congress,” he continued. (Read more from “‘Body of Evidence’ Emerging Tying Lynch, Comey Together in Massive Scandal” HERE)

Comey Friend Hints Forthcoming Report Could Be Damning for Loretta Lynch
By Washington Examiner. A “good friend” of former FBI Director James Comey’s said he is “very much” looking forward to what the upcoming Justice Department inspector general report on the Clinton email investigation has to say about former Attorney General Loretta Lynch — the former Obama administration official now engaged in a war of words with Comey.
Benjamin Wittes, editor in chief of Lawfare, wrote at length Wednesday about the backstory of Comey’s new tell-all memoir, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership. While he said Comey isn’t without blame for how he handled the FBI’s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized private email server, he said the consideration of other decision-makers, “particularly Lynch,” paint a full picture for those people who believe the probe was a “train wreck” that cost Clinton the 2016 presidential election.
Noting the “selective outrage” against Comey for announcing the case was reopened less than two weeks before the election, Wittes said, “Lynch was a compromised figure with respect to the emails ‘matter.'”
The mention of a “matter” is a reference to Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee last year, in which he said Lynch requested he minimize Clinton’s email investigation, urging him to call it a “matter” instead of an “investigation.” (Read more from “Comey Friend Hints Forthcoming Report Could Be Damning for Loretta Lynch” HERE)
