Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Loretta Lynch Vows She'll Accept the Verdict of the FBI (and Her Own Team of Handpicked Prosecutors)Later today, Loretta Lynch will reportedly announce that she's taking herself out of the decision-making loop on the Hillary Clinton Indictment, due to her clandestine meeting with Bill Clinton. It is being reported she'll accept the guidance of the FBI, and her prosecutors. Jazz Shaw makes a great point-- the media is reporting this as if she vowed to accept the FBI's word. No, she hasn't. She's talking about an amorphous blob of people, both the FBI and her own senior employees, and that means she gets to decide who makes the cut on her list of "senior prosecutors," and she can decide what weight to give each person's vote. In other words, she's retaining all power in her own hands -- she's just trying to pretend she's taking herself out of the decision. That, like everything else this Fun Bunch claims, is a damnable lie. Meanwhile, evidence has surfaced that everyone involved in this sordid meeting knew just how inappropriate it was. Not only did Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch keep it secret until a reporter asked her about it, but FBI agents were forbidding US citizens from taking pictures of the secret meeting. For what reason? On what authority? Marc Thiessen just noted on FoxNews that this must be the first meeting with a president which has ever happened where the person meeting with the president didn't take a selfie and post it on Twitter. Why was that, do you think? Do you think they just wanted to keep their discussion of grandchildren and golf private?Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1
Someone on Fox awhile ago said they have inside sources at the FBI, and the FBI is FURIOUS with Lynch.

Never mind that other networks also did the same thing, I believe it was CNN and possibly MSNBC. But the Democrats singled out Fox for a fine. The three Republicans on the committee have said this was pure political payback by the Democrats. We need more regulatory agencies staffed by political parties.

It would be easy to talk about this as an obvious example and extension of the dishonesty and arrogance of the Obama Administration, and the Clintons too. I have a different theory.
That being said, you'd have to be a fool to believe it was what they say it was. BUT! What IF this was, in fact, simply a "courtesy call", if you will.? What I mean is simply the sitting POTUS telling a past POTUS what is going to go down, ahead of time, out of respect, so that he doesn't have to hear about it first in the newspaper, or from some flunky. It might be significant that it was in person, and that Obama sent his flunky instead of doing it himself (which I presume would mean Clinton visiting the WH, not some "tarmac meeting").

What a wonderful life it must be to ignore politics and repeat only what the MFM tells you to believe, all the while sparing yourself the soul-numbing drudgery of work because you're living off the largess of racist white people. It makes you wonder what there is to celebrate on the Fourth when the country is morphing into a panopticon custodial state and you know that you can do nothing to change it because any real, actual change will bring the fury of the State down on you and harass you either into prison or the grave. Of course, Trump will merely be a road stop on the way to the killing fields.

What a wonderful life it must be to ignore politics and repeat only what the MFM tells you to believe, all the while sparing yourself the soul-numbing drudgery of work because you're living off the largess of racist white people.

Lynch is a cutout between Obama and Bill Clinton. This keeps Obama's fingerprints off of everything, but Lynch won't/can't do anything but what Obama tells her, however vaguely it maybe worded.

Known Knowns:
For over a month, Hillary has resisted coming in to the FBI to have a cup of coffee with Comey, which would normally be the last step before the FBI completed its investigation. Lynch's meeting with Bill wasn't an accident. Known Unknowns: What was the purpose of the meeting? My bet was that it was to deliver a real message, the kind you can't deliver in an e-mail or even a phone call: Lynch was telling Bill that an FBI criminal referral is coming, because Comey won't wait on Hillary's having a cup of coffee any longer. This will hit soon, and certainly before the D's convention. Local reporter says he was tipped. Who was it? My bet is that it was the Obamans. It's part of their creating a narrative that they had nothing to do with Hillary's Downfall. If you think the fix has always been in to benefit the Clintons, then it makes no sense to have had this meeting, and even less sense for either the Obamans or Clintons to tip off a reporter about it. What's next? Obama campaigns with Hillary this Tuesday in NC, and with Biden later in the week in Scranton. Watch the body language.

I disagree...I think Comey invited the DOJ prosecutors into the investigation very early on to avoid the DOJ from stalling and inaction on any recommendation. They can't use the "we have to study the FBI's recommendation" excuse because they were part of the process from the onset.
Additionally, I think this is another reason for the length of the investigation...prosecutors biding for time by forcing the investigative agents to jump through all kinds of hoops. But, Comey has more control over the investigative aspect of the case as opposed to the to evaluation of evidence. I think the whole Bill Clinton visit was nothing more than self-interest on his behalf. He would, rightly, conclude that if she agreed to meet with him, then he is not under investigation personally. That's all he wanted to know. Posted by: Orson at July 01, 2016 11:50 AM (gfKOD) 206
My Bold Prediction:
Obama does a Two-fer. He pardons Hillary ** and ** Trump at the same time - in the spirit of a full, fair election without the cloud of partisan scandal hanging over issues, clouding our judgment. "The investigations into both these people has turned the noble process that coughed me up, twice, to the office of the President threatens the very fabric the election. As such, Being Me, I've decided to take the issues off the table by issuing pardons to the warmest, most knowledgable Cabinet member that it was my privilege to work with, Hillary Clinton, and the guy in the red ball cap who ripped people off, but not to the point where I don't think the greater good is served by issuing Trump a pardon. - Posted by: BumperStickerist at July 01, 2016 11:50 AM (GajfA) 207

Lynch is backtracking from this morning's NYT story to say that she's reserving a modicum of authority over the decision. She has to keep this authority as the ultimate head prosecutor. Despite the lede above, she can't actually exercise that authority. If she does, it'll all go nuclear. I was young during the revelations of Watergate, but this is feeling eerily similar.

The meeting was planned.
We found out because an enterprising news guy got a tip from someone at the airport. We were not meant to find out. Who knows how many other little meetings like this have taken place? Things are being negotiated. Lynch is the go - between for Obama. She is too dull-witted to be doing this on her own. I have no idea what is really being negotiated, but I would also hazard a guess that what somebody said above is true, that Bill is trying to save the Clinton Fund from being investigated, which would bring down a world of hurt on him, personally. Obama is also on the hook here, because there is ample evidence that he knew that Hillary Clinton was using her private server for government business. He has already perjured himself on this issue, if his public statements were entered as evidence in a real trial, and he was made to testify. This will all be dismissed very soon, because the fallout from indicting Hillary Clinton is just too dangerous for too many people. The idea the people in the FBI will "fall on their swords" and resign is ludicrous. Maybe one or two. Posted by: Bossy Conservative...pondering the future at July 01, 2016 12:05 PM (Cz05v) 274

This wasn't a coincidence. Either Bill planned it, or they both did. The odds of Bill just randomly crossing her path in Phoenix are too low. Then Lynch had to order everyone else off the plane.

Of the 10% of adults who have been following the FBI's criminal investigation of the Clintons before now, a majority believe the fix has always been in. A minority believe that the Obamans have been setting the Clintons up for a big fall. And the smallest group of all are those who believe that Justice would be applied blindly.
I've always been in the minority camp that the Obamans have been setting the Clintons up for a big fall. If the fix was in, the investigation would have played differently. And Hillary would already have had her cup of coffee with Comey. And Bill would have had no need to meet secretly with Lynch. But Obama can't be seen as having brought this down on the Clintons.

First, they stayed married because they are each other's beards - they get the extra publicity out of being an awesome power couple while still getting their freak on. They have not lived together since Hills moved out of the WH early. If they were single then the gossip media would have a reason to cover their extracurricular activities. Second, the Clinton Foundation makes the big money selling influenece. Sure, Bill could make a nice living doing the globe-trotting former POTUS who attends various Davos events, gives speeches. However, he's greedy. Having Hillary there to provide a much bigger service that a lofty speech about AIDS in Africa is worth it. Especially since it can happen while they live separate lives.

Posted by: Country Singer at July 01, 2016 12:23 PM (uiwCw) Regardless of what one thinks of it, the United States government has no business saying what anyone can or can't do outside of this country (unless it involves waging war against us). American citizens can go to foreign countries and do anything they want. It's up to that foreign country to stop it. The only legitimate role the US government has in this is possibly serving the person up for extradition if that country requests it for whatever crime they claim (and even that has to be very carefully considered). This bullshit about the US government having control over what US citizens do outside of the US is nothing but total bullshit. American citizens are not property of the government.

OMG. So now Kuntsman has his feelz hurt being "forced" to sing the National Anthem because it's "Mussolini-esque." I believe - being too lazy to look it up - that the singing of the anthem began in WWII as a way to boost morale. Frankly, I wish they wouldn't sing it before every sporting event; IMO, it cheapens the song. And who the fuck is "forcing" that mincing pantywaist to sing, anyway? Is there somebody behind him with a gun to his head? Because I've watched a lot of sporting events over the years, and I've seen plenty of people who stand there as the anthem is being sung, not singing along.

______________________ Still have to work out the terms of the pay-off. Crooked politicians expect to be paid -- and paid very well -- for their favors. Loretta and Bill were probably working out a deal where, after Loretta steps down as AG and takes a 7-figure job at Goldman Sachs, Loretta's husband gets put on the board of the Clinton Crime Family Foundation. That way, Loretta gets to keep pretending she's not corrupt, and she and hubby get to rake in some of that sweet CCFF cash, and take vacations by private plane to those $34,000 per night Caribbean resorts that the CCFF pays for Chelsea and her husband to stay in while they're on their "fact finding missions." Loretta and her hubby want to find some facts too! And they want to do it in the luxurious, spare-no-expense style that only CCFF kind of money can provide.

Bill Clinton is chasing after HIS high, which is all the power concentrated in that building. He's not chasing my high, which might be crack or heroin or money or movie star fame or banging starlets or whatever. He's not chasing any of that, especially since he pretty much has any of those things he might want already (the starlets and fame, I mean, presumably not the crack, but who knows). He wants back in the White House. The rides on AF One. All of it. I don't think he gives one poop nugget whether Hillory is #1 one or not.

The fix has been in for some time. I also have zero reason to believe Comey will be anything but another acolyte for his corrupt friends and bosses.
The case law on this type of behavior is long and very explicit. There are people in jail or qualified as felons for less. The only reason they are upset is because this highlights the subterfuge being performed to elect a political candidate. Before this they could all just throw up their hands and make excuses as to why there was no case. The average Joe would never understand the nuance of case law. But people understand this type of corruption and impropriety. The most uninterested dope gets the visual and ever further sees they are trying to manipulate law and process. There are no winners for Democrats without an indictment now. Just the specter of corruption and subversive behaviors from people who are arrogant and believe the are above the law. Yeah, that behavior most Americans are going to be voting against this fall. If you already tangentially believ Hillary is a liar and manipulator who would like to make you a dupe. You probably more strongly believe it now. Posted by: Marcus T at July 01, 2016 01:12 PM (TV98W) 495

"27 I honestly would prefer a leak of an FBI report recommending an indictment. That they can't control." That's always been this most likely scenario, and the orchestrated Clinton/Lynch tarmac "oopsie" somehow is supposed to mitigate it. I don't see how but it's the only thing that makes sense for such behavior from the ruthlessly corrupt. A less likely scenario is the resignation of Comey or someone close to the investigation and the press conference from hell or heaven, depending on someone's perspective. Trump needs to announce he is seeking legal counsel on how he will set aside any presidential pardon of Clinton, even if it is absolute bullshit.

Clintons are gone in 10 years. Obamas have 30 years. Pray for our country.
Posted by: mustbequantum at July 01, 2016 01:23 PM (MIKMs) I think it's hard for people to see today, but Obama has no coattails. He's left behind the utter ruins of Washington, including anything resembling Congressional oversight, but he has personally left no governing principle that anyone else can follow. Who is the Obama legacy holder now? Nobody. Is there anyone who will be left in Washington after he is gone who is personally loyal to him? Anyone who appears to be his protégé? No one I can think of. His legacy will be the mess. What comes next will either be the Age of Clinton Reborn, or something else. But not the continuation of the Age of Obama. That ends with the Narcissist in Chief. Posted by: BurtTC at July 01, 2016 01:27 PM (TOk1P) 534

I haven't given up like you.

129 Known Knowns:
For over a month, Hillary has resisted coming in to the FBI to have a cup of coffee with Comey, which would normally be the last step before the FBI completed its investigation. Lynch's meeting with Bill wasn't an accident. Known Unknowns: What was the purpose of the meeting? My bet was that it was to deliver a real message, the kind you can't deliver in an e-mail or even a phone call: Lynch was telling Bill that an FBI criminal referral is coming, because Comey won't wait on Hillary's having a cup of coffee any longer. This will hit soon, and certainly before the D's convention. Local reporter says he was tipped. Who was it? My bet is that it was the Obamans. It's part of their creating a narrative that they had nothing to do with Hillary's Downfall. If you think the fix has always been in to benefit the Clintons, then it makes no sense to have had this meeting, and even less sense for either the Obamans or Clintons to tip off a reporter about it. What's next? Obama campaigns with Hillary this Tuesday in NC, and with Biden later in the week in Scranton. Watch the body language. Posted by: Ignoramus at July 01, 2016 11:35 AM (r1fLd) Good post!

"Jazz Shaw speculates Comey may have already decided not to recommend prosecution."
The problem with this case is, it is obvious and clear that she committed crimes. There is no question about it. The only questions are how many crimes and the classification of these crimes. Say accidental vs. Aldridge Ames espionage. Etc. For them to do nothing means everyone of them, from top to bottom, needs to be investigated and prosecuted by Trump's DOJ.

Partly because Hillory is as rotten a human being, inside and out, as anybody, and she can't hide it. Partly because the Democrats who clap for Affirmative Action Obama do so out of their racist nature. These same people are not, by nature, sexist. So she gets no cover for her ugliness the way he does. With that, the Democrat Party coalition collapses just as they think they are celebrating their victory.

Doesn't really matter how it goes in politics. The culture is the key, and who we vote for won't change that. We have to change at home, in our hearts, in our families, in our neighborhoods. Unless that turns around, its just a matter of moving nameplates around in government.

"517 The bottom line is this is politically horrible for Clinton. So on that score, anyhow, there is no need for long faces.
____ "How do you figure? It's the Friday before a long weekend, so nobody is paying attention. The decision will be released at 6:30pm tonight when even less than nobody is paying attention. Then by next week this will be old news and the MSM will collectively say, "time to move on"." This isn't going away in the usual manner. Yes, they are trying to bury it on a Friday before a long holiday weekend--the last before the convention, but while I've never thought Hillary would be prosecuted it's been long apparent that won't be avoided without a great deal of pain. This is going to get worse for her. To be precise, the idea is she takes a poll hit prior to a convention bounce. Again, this is conventional thinking. Hillary actually broke the law here and committed many serious felonies, and when Lynch announces there will not be an indictment the damage and blowback will be severe. My caveat: this may be a prelude to Hillary copping a plea to a misdemeanor between the convention and Labor Day, with the thought she can survive it. Even as godawful as the country has become, this is crippling in ways typical political people can't fathom. The pathetic part is the country is so godawful it was thought to be possible.

The fastest path to a mistrial is to taint the process via the prosecution, that secret meeting benefits the Clinton's exclusively. Are the investigating agents the self same agents that provided stasi Muscle for her and Billy the perv?

What the president did in this case would be called "undue command influence during a court martial." This is forbidden as the commander must be and appear to be impartial so as not to sway the views of people on the court who might report to the commander. This is an inflexible rule and its violation has resulted in overturning cases on appeal.
Typically for the left, they're all about altering outcomes despite the ethics involved, and the president told the Justice that it was okay not to charge Hillary ... blatant and improper command influence. Posted by: Carlos at July 01, 2016 02:55 PM (yE4Vk) 581
