describe? the attorney general had directed me not to call it investigation but to call it a matter. it confused me and concerned me. gave the impression that the attorney general was looking to align the way we talked about or work with the way political campaign was describing the same activity which was inaccurate. we had a criminal investigation open. bret: for all the talk about political influence in the russian investigation from allegedly the trump administration, director comey is making a charge that then attorney general loretta lynch was politically active in how he was supposed to characterize the investigation. i think director comey didn t shed additional light on how the justice department was viewing or handling or talking about the clinton investigation. what was most significant, apart from knowing more about the historical record, is what light is shed on director comey. director comey acknowledged he agreed to use a different word to talk about a matter
former attorney general loretta lynch told him to down play the clinton e-mail investigation. instead of calling it investigation, call it the e-mail matter. let s bring in rachel bade from politico. there s one kind of investigation, a criminal investigation. there s a reason that didn t want that word used. that s a bridge too far for an attorney general, isn t it? i think comey s team expressed frustration in that record. his weariness to both bothses, sessions and lynch was on full display today. he thought politics was influencing the way they were thinking and telling him to act where you mentioned loretta lynch, tolding him to worse matter instead of investigation and hillary clinton and her e-mails.
fbi director does not stop that, despite what others think. let s move on. investigating hillary clinton for her e-mail yet again. this could open up another canna warms. here is what tom, president of traditional watch said. i think for a half-million people with classified clearances will are wondering why hillary clinton wasn t held accountable for violating the wall. it wasn t because the law did not allow her to be indicted, she was the nominee for the democratic party for presidency. obama s justice department was not going to indict her. this is the single biggest impediment now, comey the only major obama holdover in the administration has been removed. maybe we ll finally get a serious it investigation. one were politics is taken out of it. jesse: david, real quick and 30 seconds what you think this means for the hillary clinton e-mail investigation?
