"In a June 2017 interview under oath with the House Intelligence Committee, Comey said Lynch had pressed him to downplay the significance of the Clinton email review in September 2015, just before a congressional hearing in which Comey was expected to be asked about the investigation. Comey said the moment led him to question her independence and contributed to his decision to unilaterally hold a press conference in July 2016 announcing the conclusions of the probe.
“ 'The attorney general had directed me not to call it an investigation, but instead to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned me," Comey testified. “That was one of the bricks in the load that led me to conclude, ‘I have to step away from the department if we’re to close this case credibly.’” . . .

Lynch looks at her notes during a previous hearing.
“ 'The American people deserve transparency,” Collins said in a statement Monday. “They deserve to know what transpired in the highest levels of the FBI at the origin of the probe of President Trump’s campaign.”

Loretta Lynch flipped on Comey  "Lawyer up, Jim Comey. That was advice I gave the 6-foot-8 weasel on May 1. As the public learns more about Obama's spying on Donald John Trump (and attempts to entrap him and his staff), it is clear that Democrats consider Comey expendable.
"We now know that in December, Loretta Lynch told the House Judiciary Committee behind closed doors that Comey lied about a 2015 meeting about investigating Obama's first secretary of state, Hillary.
"Republican Congressman Doug Collins of Georgia released transcripts of nine witnesses that heretofore were secret.
"Collins said, “The American people deserve transparency. They deserve to know what transpired in the highest levels of the FBI at the origin of the probe of President Trump’s campaign.”
“ 'Out of an abundance of caution, these transcripts have a limited number of narrowly tailored redactions, relating only to confidential sources and methods, non-public information about ongoing investigations and non-material personal information.”
" 'Well, Obama said his was the most transparent administration ever.
