James Comey, American Hero?

• http://www.zerohedge.com, Raul Ilargi Meijer

When only some 24 hours ago I started writing my article "Throw Huma Under the Bus?", there was one thing I did not know at all, one thing I was guessing at as much as the reporters who brought it up, and one I couldn't verify sufficiently to feel comfortable about including it in the piece.

First, what I did not know at all was the role of Department of Justice head and US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. Nobody I had read wrote a single word about her role, and I said "Wait a minute! Anybody seen Loretta Lynch lately?". 24 hours later we know that Lynch, and the DOJ, actively attempted to keep James Comey from writing his infamous letter to members of Congress.

These attempts were ostensibly based on a 'longstanding' tradition of the DOJ and FBI to minimalize any potential interference in (presidential) elections. Given that Comey didn't have 'enough' solid evidence gathered from the emails, Lynch et al apparently told him he should not come forward. But it turns out there's a dark flipside to this argument, please bear with me.
