Transcripts of testimony by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch show her accusing former FBI Director James Comey of lying under oath to Congress.
Rep. Doug Collins released transcripts on Monday from several Department of Justice officials, including Lynch and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe.
There’s really only one way to view this, folks – Lynch’s testimony shows that either she or Comey lied to Congress. As Comey’s interview was under oath, he presumably stands to suffer the greater consequences.
Somebody’s Lying
Central to the bombshell testimony by Lynch is an incident in which Comey repeatedly claimed she had downgraded terminology for the Hillary Clinton private server investigation.
The former head of the FBI testified that he felt “queasy” after the AG asked him to refer to the probe of Clinton’s emails as a “matter” rather than an “investigation.”
“[Lynch] told me to call it a matter, which confused and concerned me. But that was one of the bricks in the load that led me to conclude I have to step away from the [Justice] Department if we’re to close this case credibly,” Comey claimed.
Lynch, during her hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, recalled that she was “quite surprised” by this claim.

Lynch is reminded that Comey made these statements under oath.
“I did not,” Lynch unequivocally responded when asked if she had directed Comey to downgrade the Clinton case from an investigation to a ‘matter.’
“I have never instructed a witness as to what to say specifically,” she added. “Never have, never will.”
Why It’s Important
While Comey’s repeated assertions that Lynch instructed him to use specific terminology when it came to the Clinton ‘matter’ were under oath, Lynch may also have some legal troubles if she is proven to be the one lying.
“Ms. Lynch, you should also understand that although this interview is not under oath, you are required by law to answer questions
from Congress truthfully,” Chairman Goodlatte stated prior to her questioning.
Former House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy had lashed out at Comey after his testimony, insinuating that he was trying to serve as judge, jury, and executioner on the Clinton case.
“He appointed himself FBI director, attorney general, special counsel, lead investigator and the general arbiter of what is good and right in the world according to him,” he alleged in a fiery statement.
At Oversight/Judiciary Cmte hrng on IG rpt, Gowdy says Comey alone watered down findings, made the prosecution decision and did not take steps to call for Special Counsel

“We see Jim Comey and Jim Comey alone deciding which DOJ policies to follow and which to ignore,” Gowdy said.
Perhaps that statement provides some insight as to who made the false claims to Congress. If, as Lynch’s testimony suggests, Comey was lying, will the AG’s office investigate it finally?
double up on polygraphs for all the demon-rats testifying.

tom riddle, and clinton, and obammy and voldermort are the same thing
They more than likely BOTH lied. Throw them BOTH in jail.
They are still working together, trying to use the media to manipulate things. “Queasy” huh? Riiiight…. these two are hoping we will let them melt this down into an un-intelligible mess of he-said / she-said. NO WAY. You two were working together to do injury to our country and with or without russians around that is CONSPIRACY and treason, In My Opinion, while we’re allowed to have them.

What a great contest of who wins the Biggest Liar and who they will throw under the bus next to cover their azzes.

Hmm does Loretta last name describe what should be done to the both of them…I’m just asking.
Of COURSE they needed Hillary to win! They were expecting HER to cover up ALL their crimes–INCLUDING their illicit SPYING on Pres. Trump’s campaign and all the crooked/treasonous stuff that went on during OBAMA’S trainwreck of a Presidency.
The reason they’ve been so over-the-top NUTS ever since Pres. Trump won is the very REAL possibility that–since Hillary lost and they were NOT able to bury all the evidence of their sedition and OTHER acts of treason like they USUALLY do–they might actually be held accountable for being America-hating TRAITORS who are working CONSTANTLY to undermine and DESTROY this country!

The Dem’s are eating their own. Running scared! Impeaching Trump now will only make matters worse. Pelosi know’s this and she better start explaining it to her monkies!
NOT SURPRISED. EVERYONE HAD A LOT TO LOSE IF TRUMP WON THE OVAL OFFICE. WHICH OF COURSE POTUA TRUMP DID. ALL THE SCHEMES THEY DID WERE GOING TO COME OUT AND IF HILLARY GETS CHRGED THE WHOLE SWAMP AND DEEP STATE AND BILLIONS OF USD GO DOWM WITH HER.

Both of them are lying. How could we believe either of them? Lynch says her and Bill talked about grandkids. We know that was BS. Comey who has leaked confidential and classified material, made a decision that was not his to make, and then lied about it. No intent here, just carelessness. What a POS.
Is it possible both POS are lying?

Hell, this all started with the most corrupt of them all, bizwack Odumbo the Head shyt pile and they all should be given a seat in the electric chair for treason against the United States of America !!!!BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

WAKEUP – THEY ARE BOTH LIARSAND TRAITORS
For whatever reason, whether it be a lie, or a careless slip of the tongue, Comey’s statement–UNDER OATH–that Lynch instructed him to change the word from “investigation” to “matter” says COVER UP. Won’t waste my time trying to explain my statement. If you don’t understand the implication, I doubt you would understand the explanation.
Personally, I can’t WAIT until one or more of these swamp VERMIN decides to rat out either Obama or Hillary or–preferably–BOTH of them to try to save themselves from being sent to GITMO for their OPEN attempts to stage a coup d’etat against our duly elected President!
The really SAD thing is, cammo99, these Fascist LOONS actually believe they are in the RIGHT in their frenzied efforts to overthrow Pres. Trump!
Actually he WAS, PurplePretzel. That EVIL entity was just going by a different name!
So, I’m just curious: How come we are JUST NOW hearing about this testimony she gave to the conniving DEM-CONTROLLED House Oversight Committee? Could it be they SAT ON IT because they were afraid it might cast FURTHER doubt and suspicion on the BLATANTLY left-biased Mueller witch hunt? And WHY is this acceptable?

I wouldn’t surprise me if the DOJ, and DNC collapse comes up with the idea , they can;t be guilty , they were just following orders. They sing like globalists but march like national socialists.

Doesn’t seem to matter if a democrat lies to congress, or not. Only republicans are punished for it under our double standards.
Ah yes the tats are abandoning the sinking ship. Nice to see.
so I will go out on a limb and say Thank God for Trump who fights for America,
and in a perverse way that you for Sessions that created the 2 year Mueller debacle, but without Sessions failing, we would not be getting any of this out to the public.
So Sessions was the Judas that led to making Trump the star shining in the heavens lighting up the sky, exposing the cockroaches and giving America back to those that love America and want to restore its greatness

so if what Comey and Clapper and Brennen did was above board, and the dossier was fine why the circular firing squad blaming others, instead of taking credit for it.
Guess they really did need hillary to win to protect them and their lies, and harm to this country

The Obama posse is throwing each other under the bus. The only question I have is do the same standards of justice and punishment apply to the posse as it does to the average working man.
My guess is the swamp is so vast that these denizens will not be punished but lauded and promoted. If this does happen its time to burn the whole thing down.
Little doubt in my mind that one or both will continue to lie until sentananced. Also no doubt, cries of innocents will continue after sentencing. Get on with it.
Whose name must not be spoken.
Who is the most rabid, the lying bean-pole or the bull dog? The fight will be a sideshow of the democrat clown circus. When will the ringmaster Obama enter the show? Maybe they will all get in the mud and have a pig wrestle. Wahoo!

Looks like Democrats have opened a proverbial Pandora’s box. Now their Russian hoax is coming back to bite them.

The birds are starting to sign, very soon they will tell the truth, and tell who was the leader, the one we all know well his name starts with the latter “O” guess who is.
