Shocker! About those reports saying Loretta Lynch will back away from the Hillary probe...

Remember AG Lynch is NOT recusing herself from the Clinton case. https://t.co/o5Ta5xVN0M

Citing a Justice Department official, the New York Times has reported that Attorney General Loretta Lynch will announce today that she’ll “accept whatever recommendation career prosecutors and the F.B.I. director make about whether to bring charges related to Hillary Clinton’s personal email server.”

So in other words:

Anybody surprised?

Here's hoping that little meeting with Bill was a head's up on indictment. #DropOutHillary https://t.co/KPotoVnTzm

NYT lied. Lynch will say exactly the opposite — she'll overrule a recommended indictment. https://t.co/P1Ag8A4xD3

So the STORY CHANGES from she does the "responsible" thing in response to irresponsibility; to she IS irresponsible. https://t.co/oK12kAAWpE

There is no bottom… Lynch will reserve her right to overrule the FBI. https://t.co/N4P8uAPrAK
