For those concerned that there may be a conflict of interest for US Attorney General Loretta Lynch as it relates to the Clinton investigation, you can rest at ease. On Sunday, Lynch promised that there is no conflict of interest, period.
In an interview with Fox News Sunday, Lynch told Chris Wallace that there is nothing to worry about, even if her boss is openly campaigning for Clinton to become the next president of the United States.
Wallace: “You’re a political appointee of the president. Does that create a conflict of interest for you? Does it make it harder for you to handle the criminal investigation into Clinton when your boss is saying he thinks she should be president.”
Lynch: “Well you know I don’t get involved in who the president endorses. I don’t have comments on any of the candidates. The investigation into the State Department email matter is going to be handled like any other matter. We’ve got career agents and lawyers looking at that, they will follow the facts, and follow the evidence wherever it leads and come to a conclusion.“
Wallace: “So does this create a conflict of interest for you?”
Lynch: “No, this is not a conflict for me, for the department or for anyone.“
When Wallace brought up the fact that on the same day Obama came out and endorsed Clinton, Lynch met with Obama at the White House, Lynch quickly downplayed the meeting by saying they’ve never discussed the case.
Wallace: “The same day that Clinton was endorsed by the president, you met with the president at the White House. Did you in any way, shape or form discuss the Clinton case with the president?”
Lynch: “We’ve never discussed the Clinton case. I’ve never spoken about it with the president, or really with anyone at the White House.“
Well now that we have all of that settled, we can all rest assured that if the FBI recommends the DOJ bring charges against Clinton, the DOJ will follow through with that. Also, when Lynch refers to the fact that there are those at the DOJ working the case and allowing the facts to lead them, Lynch doesn’t mean those that donated nearly $100,000 to Clinton’s campaign, we assume. Because that too is surely not a conflict of interest.
