Hot on the heels of the news that the FBI is reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch has essentially pleaded the Firth Amendment regarding inquiries into the sending of $1.7 billion to Iran.
In an Oct. 24 response, Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik responded for Lynch, saying: "Disclosure of this information beyond members of the House and Senate
and staff who are able to view them could adversely affect the
diplomatic relations of the United States, including with key allies."
Kansas Representative Mike Pompeo rebuked the Obama administration about the issue. "Who knew
that simple questions regarding Attorney General Lynch's approval of
billions of dollars in payments to Iran could be so controversial that
she would refuse to answer them?"
It looks as if it's going to be a long, hot winter in Washington DC, with plenty of cats on hot tin roofs.
