No memos with descriptions of grandfather clocks were written.
In multiple private sessions over the last few months, Comey has told lawmakers about a second, later confrontation with Lynch shortly before the email probe was shut down.
During the conversation, Comey told lawmakers he confronted Lynch with a highly sensitive piece of evidence, a communication between two political figures that suggested Lynch had agreed to put the kibosh on any prosecution of Clinton.
Comey said “the attorney general looked at the document then looked up with a steely silence that lasted for some time, then asked him if he had any other business with her and if not that he should leave her office,” said one source who was briefed.
Comey “took that interaction and the fact she had met with Bill Clinton as enough reason to decide he would not allow the Justice Department to decide the fate of the case and instead would go public” with his own assessment that the FBI could not prove Mrs. Clinton intended to violate the law when she transmitted classified information through her private email and therefore should not be criminally charged. Another source said the "tarmac meeting was the public excuse for not going to Lynch when all along there was other evidence that was more concerning to Comey."
There have been various reports about this supposed communication.
First, and this merits asking just as much about the Dems as about GOPers, why was the FBI reviewing communications between political figures? It seems about time that we had a honest accounting of the scope of these investigations.
Second, if Comey had enough evidence of obstruction of justice, where were the memos and the careful paper trail?
Comey's response to this whole situation has been a combination of going rogue and selective decision making. The FBI boss doesn't have that kind of power. The information in question needs to be made public.
