Actual, Real, Substantive Evidence of Collusion to Derail an FBI Investigation the Media Doesn’t Want You to See

Remember former Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton while the Department of Justice  and FBI were criminally investigating Hillary Clinton’s emails. It’s understandable if you don’t, considering all of the media hysteria over this supposed scandal or that.  But the Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting was an actual, real, substantive evidence of collusion to derail an FBI investigation. 

This should be the headline story of every news organization in the country.  But of course…it’s not. Thankfully, the ACLJ is on the case.  Literally:

Last July, we sent FOIA requests to both the Comey FBI and the Lynch DOJ asking for any documents related to the Clinton Lynch plane meeting. The FBI, under the then directorship of James Comey, replied that “No records responsive to your request were located.”

The documents we received today from the Department of Justice include several emails from the FBI to DOJ officials concerning the meeting.  One with the subject line “FLAG” was correspondence between FBI officials (Richard Quinn, FBI Media/Investigative Publicity, and Michael Kortan) and DOJ officials concerning “flag[ing] a story . . . about a casual, unscheduled meeting between former president Bill Clinton and the AG.” The DOJ official instructs the FBI to “let me know if you get any questions about this” and provides “[o]ur talkers [DOJ talking points] on this”. The talking points, however are redacted.

Another email to the FBI contains the subject line “security details coordinate between Loretta Lynch/Bill Clinton?”

On July 1, 2016 – just days before our FOIA request – a DOJ email chain under the subject line, “FBI just called,” indicates that the “FBI . . . is looking for guidance” 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 stated, “I will let Rybicki know.” Jim Rybicki was the Chief of Staff and Senior Counselor to FBI Director Jim Comey. The information that was to be provided to Rybicki is redacted.

Also of note several of the documents contain redactions that are requested “per FBI.”

It is clear that there were multiple records within the FBI responsive to our request and that discussions regarding the surreptitious meeting between then AG Lynch and the husband of the subject of an ongoing FBI criminal investigation reached the highest levels of the FBI.

However, on October 21, 2016, the Comey FBI replied to our legal demands that “No records responsive to your request were located.”  This is in direct contravention to the law, and we are preparing further legal action to force the FBI to come clean and turn over ALL documents related to this matter to us in a timely manner.

Second, the hundreds of pages of (heavily redacted – more on that below) documents paint a clear picture of a DOJ in crisis mode as the news broke of Attorney General Lynch’s meeting with former President Clinton. In fact, the records appear to indicate that the Attorney General’s spin team immediately began preparing talking points for the Attorney General regarding the meeting BEFORE ever speaking with the AG about the matter.

Why haven’t you heard more about this?  After all, you’ve probably heard fifty million different versions of the Russia collusion story, right?  You can’t turn on the television without hearing about Trump’s supposed crookedness.  So why did a Washington Post reporter, say, “I’m hoping I can put it to rest.”

That’s not exactly Woodword and Bernstein, is it?  But the ACLJ has even more:

The same Washington Post reporter, interacting with the DOJ spin team, implemented specific DOJ requests to change his story to make the Attorney General appear in a more favorable light. A New York Times reporter apologetically told the Obama DOJ that he was being “pressed into service” to have to cover the story. As the story was breaking, DOJ press officials stated, “I also talked to the ABC producer, who noted that they aren’t interested, even if Fox runs with it.”

Later, they found DOJ officials had a chain of emails sent to Attorney General Lynch herself.  One stated that the media coverage tarmac incident “looks like all or most are FOX” and that “CBS . . . just says a few lines about the meeting.”

Well, since that’s the very definition of collusion, it appears the main stream media doesn’t care about collusion after all.  They care about disparaging Republicans.  They care about injustice and corruption if the investigations don’t touch their favorite politicians.  And that means…

They don’t care about corruption.

This is definitive proof that  the media is simply an arm of the Democratic Party.
