According to an administration official close to the situation, Attorney General Loretta Lynch pressured FBI Director James Comey to keep the reopening of the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private server quiet.
Citing the supposed Justice Department tradition of not influencing elections, Lynch and other department officials have reportedly expressed their frustration with Comey — an Obama-appointee Republican — in informing Congress, despite potentially “thousands” of new Clinton server emails coming to light, thus effectively forcing the director’s hand to reopen the case.
