Report: Lynch will accept FBI recommendation on Clinton email case

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Attorney General Loretta Lynch will announce Friday that she plans to rely on the opinion of the FBI and career prosecutors on whether to press charges over then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, a Justice Department official told The New York Times.

The decision comes amid a political firestorm over a private meeting Lynch had with former President Bill Clinton on Monday at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. The former president has been on the campaign trail for his wife's White House bid.

Many Republicans are calling for Lynch to recuse herself from the investigation, saying that the meeting shows a lack of judgment on her part and raises the possibility that partisan politics could shape the outcome of the case.

An unidentified official told the Times that Lynch for months had been mulling over the move to rely on the recommendation of the FBI and career prosecutors, but the furor over the meeting had forced the decision. Lynch will give a speech on Friday in Aspen, Colo., during which she is expected to make the announcement.

... the next minute the AG (who was too afraid of the Clinton's to not meet with Bill) suddenly collapses because of fear of the media "furor". I guess the AG isn't afraid of the Clinton's any more.

Incredible amount of hair on fire behavior over yet another non-event.
