We have just obtained hundreds of pages in our ongoing investigation and federal lawsuit on former Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton while the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI had an ongoing criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. The results are shocking.
First, the Comey FBI lied to us. Last July, we sent FOIA requests to both the Comey FBI and the Lynch DOJ asking for any do ents 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 do ents 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 do ents 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 surrep ious 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 do ents related to this matter to us in a timely manner.
Second, the hundreds of pages of (heavily redacted – more on that below) do ents 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.
Third, there is clear evidence that the main stream media was colluding with the DOJ to bury the story. A Washington Post reporter, speaking of the Clinton Lynch meeting story, said, “I’m hoping I can put it to rest .” 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.”
Two days after the meeting, DOJ officials in a chain of emails that includes emails to Attorney General Lynch herself stated that the media coverage of the meeting “looks like all or most are FOX” and that “CBS . . . just says a few lines about the meeting.”
Fourth, DOJ bureaucrats have redacted all the talking points, discussions of talking points, a statement on the meeting that was apparently never delivered because there was not enough media coverage on the meeting, and its substantive discussions with the FBI on the matter. They absurdly claim the “deliberative process exemption” to FOIA, which is only supposed to apply to agency rulemaking processes.
Discussions about Attorney General Lynch’s ethically questionable meeting with former President Clinton during her investigation into Hillary Clinton clearly has nothing to do with any rule making process. We will be taking these redactions back to federal court. The law is on our side. We will keep pressing on with our investigation of former Attorney General Lynch until we get to the bottom of this.
We will also keep you informed as our litigation continues.

The American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) is a politically conservative, Christian-based

TSA confirmed jeebo

Christian Taliban pushing Christian Sharia and supremacy.
Does their political affiliation negate the do ents they received from the DOJ showing Comey lied about the meeting?
Didn't read any of it. Researched the link you posted, what they were all about, and knew right away that anything in there is 100% biased bull .
A link to all of the do ents was provided. Unless those do ents are forged the article is accurate.
The lying is a transmissible disease so it seems.
Of course it does. It's called bias.
I just read a portion and gave up around the part where they concluded the DOJ "colluded" with the media to bury the story based on a guy's comment about putting this to rest as if the story only depended on that one guy.
Clear evidence.

TSA , what is your prediction regarding this 700 Club investigation?
Why is it a lie? It's entirely plausible that such emails might've been classified when they requested them and are not at this point.
But it's all good, there's a sure fire way to prove the conspiracy: sue the FBI and win the case in court...

Because clinton, Democrat, *ding*, tarmac, etc
How have you, or the authors, proven that this is a deliberate lie, i.e. that someone knew records existed, and deliberately withheld it, as opposed to making a good faith effort and simply not finding anything?
wrong thread
So, you didn't really make any attempt.
You have no evidence of intent. If you had you would present it.
The do ent dump provided a giant nothingburger of PR people doing edits of press releases.
Given that responses have to be timely, it is entirely possible whoever was doing this (as well as all the other FOIR's that come in) just couldn't get the information needed on a timely basis.
I have dealt with various open-records open record requests. Trying to figure out who has the information, then get it, and get it back in time is not easy in a small bureaucracy, let alone a large one.
Meh. It benefits you to say "they lied" because that sounds so much more sinister than "the got lost in the gears before he time limit ran out".
Keep digging though. There were witnesses to the meeting. If it was obstruction, then we should know about it.
Too bad you aren't as concerned about President "vroom vroom" Trumps money-laundering. But hey, everything is ok as long as they have the magic "R" behind their name...
Interesting.

American Center for Law and Justice really hates gay rights, and well, gay people.
1.) ACLJ has raised nearly $75 million in the past five years to fight for anti-LGBT causes, despite not meeting 10 out of 20 of the Better Business Bureau’s standards for charity accountability.
2.) ACLJ suggests the “sin” of sexuality might be to blame for the death of Tyler Clementi and the rash of teen suicides connected to anti-LGBT bullying.
3.) ACLJ goes after cities and municipalities, simply for protecting employees against anti-LGBT discrimination.They even call workplace diversity training “offensive.”
4.) ACLJ defended the Boy Scouts of America in their fight to prevent LGBT scouts and scout leaders, with the group’s founder warning of “predators as Boy Scouts, pedophiles who will come in as Scoutmasters.’’
5.) ACLJ defends criminal punishments for consensual, adult same-sex behavior, saying sexuality is destructive to society.
6.) ACLJ literally helped write the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), parts of which were deemed uncons utional by the U.S. Supreme Court last year in United States v. Windsor.
7.) ACLJ opened an office in Nairobi, Kenya, where the group promotes discriminatory legal and legislative policies and engages in “civic education to warn people of the dangers of sexuality.”
8.) ACLJ-Zimbabwe has organized meetings with the country’s ruthless dictator, Robert Mugabe, and advocated for keeping criminal bans on sexuality in place as the country reformed its cons ution. This is the same Mugabe who threatened to behead gay people in his country.
9.) ACLJ’s export of hate isn’t limited to Africa. They’ve set up shops in Brazil, Europe, and Russia, all to push their anti-LGBT ends and oppose marriage equality and anti-discrimination measures across the globe.
