"Why the Obama Justice Department avoided the grand jury . . . until
it had no choice
On the matter of the 2016 election, why is there an investigation into
Russian meddling but no investigation of Justice Department meddling?
The latter effort was more extensive. And it sure looks like it would be
a lot easier to prove.
This week, courtesy of Judicial Watch, we learned that the Obama Justice
Department and the FBI did, in fact, use the grand jury in the Clinton
e-mails probe."
and......
"Mrs. Clinton was publicly claiming that the probe was “not a
criminal investigation,” but rather “a security review.” This was a lie,
but it was studiously adopted by the Obama Justice Department, then led
by Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who just happened to have been
launched into national prominence in the 1990s when President Bill
Clinton appointed her U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York
— and who was plainly hoping to keep her job in a Hillary Clinton
administration. Consequently, Lynch and other top Justice Department
officials instructed FBI director James Comey to avoid referring to the
probe as an “investigation.” In upcoming congressional testimony, he was
to call it a “matter.” Amused, one official even teased the director:
“I guess you’re the Federal Bureau of Matters now.”"
