Remember That Controversial Meeting between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch in June? Why the Justice Department Is Now Being Sued over It

News Staff : Nov 3, 2016  CBN News

"The stakes are high. The American people deserve a Justice Department with integrity. We must demand accountability for corruption. If we don't, a constitutional crisis is imminent. The corruption must have consequences." -Jay Sekulow

That meeting happened in June, days before FBI director James Comey decided not to recommend criminal charges after the agency investigated Hillary Clinton's email practices as Secretary of State.

"The arrogance and inappropriate actions of the Obama Administration cannot go unchallenged and that is why we have gone to Federal court today and filed this critical lawsuit," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. "This Administration has gone out of its way to hide information from the American public—information that is extremely troubling."

"The stakes are high," he continued. "The American people deserve a Justice Department with integrity. We must demand accountability for corruption. If we don't, a constitutional crisis is imminent. The corruption must have consequences."

Prior to filing the lawsuit the ACLJ sent Freedom of Information Act requests, to the Justice Department and the FBI, demanding information on how the meeting between Lynch and Clinton was permitted to take place.

The ACLJ reports that the FBI acknowledged its FOIA request and agreed to expedited processing by deciding the ACLJ had shown its requests involved: "a matter of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exist possible questions about the government's integrity which affect public confidence." 

The ACLJ says the Justice Department did not respond.

The ACLJ also reports that early this week, the FBI informed the ACLJ Government Accountability Project that "no records responsive to your request were located." 

CBN News reached out to Lynch for comment and is awaiting a response.
