On June 8th, 2017 former FBI director James Comey revealed to the Senate Committee that former AG Loretta Lynch tried to influence his statements regarding the e-mail Investigation of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential Election.

James Comey also cited the meeting on the Tarmac between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch as a reason he decided not to prosecute Hillary Clinton.

The following statement was made by James Comey under oath concerning his conversation with Loretta Lynch:

“At one point the attorney general had directed me not to call it investigation, but instead to call it a matter, which concerned and confused me,” Comey said.

This is a textbook case of a crime obstructing prosecutors or other officials during an investigation, which is Obstruction of Justice.
