Evidently under President Obama, the Justice Department was more interested in political issues than honesty. According to an article posted yesterday by John Hinderaker<\/a> at Power Line Blog<\/a>, the American Center for Law and Justice<\/a> (ACLJ) has finally finally gotten a response from the Justice Department to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)<\/a> request regarding documents related to the meeting in Phoenix between former President Clinton<\/a> and Loretta Lynch<\/a>.<\/p>\n The ACLJ<\/a> website reports:<\/p>\n We have just obtained hundreds of pages<\/a> in our ongoing investigation and federal lawsuit<\/a> on former Attorney General Loretta Lynch\u2019s tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton while the Department of Justice (DOJ)<\/a> and FBI<\/a> had an ongoing criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton<\/a>\u2019s emails. The results are shocking.<\/strong><\/p>\n First, the Comey FBI lied to us. Last July, we sent FOIA requests to both the Comey FBI and the Lynch DOJ<\/a> asking for any documents related to the Clinton Lynch plane meeting. The FBI, under the then directorship of James Comey, replied<\/a> that \u201cNo records responsive to your request were located.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The documents we received today from the Department of Justice include several emails from the FBI to DOJ officials concerning the meeting.\u00a0 One with the subject line \u201cFLAG\u201d<\/a> was correspondence between FBI officials (Richard Quinn, FBI Media\/Investigative Publicity, and Michael Kortan) and DOJ officials concerning \u201cflag[ing] a story . . . about a casual, unscheduled meeting between former president Bill Clinton and the AG.\u201d The DOJ official instructs the FBI to \u201clet me know if you get any questions about this\u201d and provides \u201c[o]ur talkers [DOJ talking points] on this\u201d. The talking points, however are redacted.<\/strong><\/p>\n Another email<\/a> to the FBI contains the subject line \u201csecurity details coordinate between Loretta Lynch\/Bill Clinton?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n On July 1, 2016 \u2013 just days before our FOIA request \u2013 a DOJ email chain under the subject line, \u201cFBI just called,\u201d<\/a> indicates that the \u201cFBI . . . is looking for guidance\u201d in responding to media inquiries about news reports that the FBI had prevented the press from taking pictures of the Clinton Lynch meeting. The discussion then went off email to several phone calls (of which we are not able to obtain records). An hour later, Carolyn Pokomy of the Office of the Attorney General<\/a> stated, \u201cI will let Rybicki know.\u201d Jim Rybicki was the Chief of Staff and Senior Counselor to FBI Director Jim Comey<\/a>. The information that was to be provided to Rybicki is redacted.<\/strong><\/p>\n Also of note several of the documents contain redactions that are requested \u201cper FBI.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n It is time to ask Robert Mueller to investigate the actions of his friend James Comey when James Comey was the FBI Director. Please follow the link above to read the entire post at the ACLJ, it is disturbing that the media and the government worked together to squelch information that might have had a negative impact on the Hillary Clinton campaign for president.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Evidently under President Obama, the Justice Department was more interested in political issues than honesty.
