FBI 'reopens investigation into Clintons at Trump lawyer's request'

The FBI has reportedly reopened an investigation into a meeting between Bill Clinton and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch - a runway tarmac encounter during the election campaign that Donald Trump claimed was an attempt to influence a probe into his rival's use of a private email server.

It's counterproductive and not healthy.

It's been a rough six months (and actually a rough 18 months).

If he somehow stays in office for four years we will be thrown fully back into J. Edgar Hoover territory, if not worse.

So White House is now using the FBI to harass former political opponents, what proof has been presented that a crime was committed?

So a private lawyer demands and the FBI caves to political pressure!

Donnie Dipsticks finger prints all over it. This is Historical and has never happened in our History. Never has a Election Winner ever used the Legal Establishment to seek revenge on their Opponents.

So Bill Clinton has a conversation with Loretta Lynch on her plane in Arizona. Both individuals say that the conversation was about family and golf. To date no one has come forward to counter that statement. Somehow Donald Trump decided that Bill was asking Loretta to go easy on Hillary. He has no proof and later on James Comey says that Hillary didn't break any laws and that any reasonable attorney would do the same. If this doesn't stink of abuse of power I don't know what does. If I was the Clintons and Loretta Lynch I would tell Jeff Sessions to fuck off. It is time to force a confrontation between the Clintons and Trump. Neither one is ever going to run for office again.
