Loretta Lynch never asked Comey to make the HRC investigation go away. Another non-scandal.

She may have been wrong to ask the an investigation be called "a matter" but that is a far cry from what Trump asked Comey and others to do about Flynn.

with Hillary and there was no case, so why not just say that sooner. Instead he made it about B. Clinton boarding Lynch's plane, although he had no idea what they talked about; whereas, he knew that Donald was telling him his job was on the line if he didn't drop Flynn.

I have heard them say before they can not confirm the existence of an "investigation" So wasn't Loretta correct in calling it "a matter?"

Comey cost Hillary the election, in my book. Yes, there were other factors, but he could have been more forthright about the election meddling (and IMO, Obama could have been, too). Every time her numbers indicated a slight lead, there he was, knocking her down again.

I have no patience for this man.

But I've wondered if some of Comey's participation in this investigation has anything to do with remorse over costing Hillary the election. Although I'm sure most of it is about his head being on the block.
