Hugh Hewitt is 100% correct here:
Reopen The Judiciary Committee Hearings On AG Nominee Lynch And Get Commitments on Hillary’s Homebrew http://t.co/z92p4I0R3i

But would she answer any questions if this happened?
@hughhewitt Why? To get more double speak and hear her tell us there's no such thing as reining in the executive?

Probably not, but Hewitt specifically wants to hear her say she’ll appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary’s “egregious” violations:
Attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch is qualified to serve as the top law enforcement official in the United States, and she should easily accumulate the votes needed to enter into her job — unless she is unwilling to answer questions about her opinion on how to proceed via-a-vis former secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s “homebrew” server and the who knows how many emails which originated or were received on that server in the past six years.
If the Senate returns the nomination of Lynch to the Judiciary Committee for an additional hearing on these questions, all senators of both parties should press the would-be AG for an iron clad commitment to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate thoroughly the circumstances of the former secretary of state’s egregious breach of law, regulation and internal State Department policies and procedures.
Dems, of course, won’t be happy with any additional delays:

118 days & counting–that’s how long Loretta Lynch has waited to have a vote in Senate to be next AG. That's a longer wait than last 5 AGs
