Congressman Collins released the last transcript of testimony before his committee. This time, the transcripts included testimony by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch among others. I haven't read all the transcripts, but there are some rather large discrepancies between what Lynch said and what others have said.
Here's a big one. Former FBI Director Comey testified to Congress that AG Lynch told him not to call the investigation regarding Hillary Clinton's email an "investigation" but rather to call it a "matter". Comey said that he didn't think that was the proper thing to do. Lynch, however, testified that she never told Comey to call the Clinton investigation a "matter" instead of an "investigation. It certainly seems that either Lynch or Comey is lying under oath to Congress.
Does it really matter if Lynch said to call the Clinton investigation a "matter" rather than an "investigation"? Yes! This is not just a question of semantics. The real question is whether or not the Attorney General mixed into an FBI investigation to slant things so that they would help Hillary Clinton and her campaign. Comey says she did; Lynch says she didn't. It's something that is very material.
Will we ever see an indictment here? I doubt it. Even so, however, we have reached the point where these lies deserve to be the subject of focus and, perhaps, indictment.
