House of Representatives Washington, D.C, 20515 Re:_Unasked Que De imittee on Surveillance, Leaks and Alleged Russian Involvement in 2016 Presidential Elections, Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen ‘You may recall that I won landmark decisions before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before the Honorable Richard Leon preliminarily enjoining the illegal, warrantless, and massive surveillance of U.S. citizens and lawful residents within the domestic United States See Klayman v. Obama, et al, 957 F. Supp 1 (D.D.C. 2013), Klayman v. Obama, et al, 142 F Supp. 3d 172 (D.D.C. 2015), Freedom Watch, Inc. (“Freedom Watch”) here addresses the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (the “Committec”) hearings which began on March 20, 2017, investigating in part whether President Donald Trump and his associates were "wiretapped," that is illegally and unconstitutionally spied upon in general, both before and after the President ‘Trump's inauguration, by the administration of his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, and about alleged Russian collaboration with President Trump aides in the run up to the 2016 presidential election and thereafter. As General Counsel of Freedom Watch, previously the founder of Judicial Watch, and a former federal prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice, I petitioned this Committee to have Chairman Devin Nunes and the Committee question Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) Director James Comey about apparent illegal and unconstitutional surveillance of prominent ‘Americans, such as the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen, and others such as President Donald Trump. | incorporate by reference an article 1 wrote which appeared in Newsmax on Sunday, March 19, 2017, explaining my efforts to have the Committee question FBI Director Comey about what is supposed to be an on-going Westigation of materials and testimony provided by whistleblower Dennis Montgomery Montgomery”), a former NSA and Central Intelligence Agency (“CIA”) contractor. 4ePage | 2 Regrettably, neither Chairman Nunes nor anyone else on the Committee raised the serious questions I suggested be posed to FBI Director Comey at the hearing on March 20, 2017. In the interests of justice and a full hearing of the important issues before it, these questions must be asked in open session at the subsequent hearing now scheduled for March 28, 2017, Indeed, Chairman Nunes has asked that persons with important and relevant information come forward. That is exactly what whistleblower Dennis Montgomery has done, through me, his undersigned counsel In this regard, on March 20, 2017, Chairman Devin Nunes opened the hearing by saying: "To that end, we encourage anyone who has information about these topics to come forward and speak to the House Intelligence Comittee.” Spoken at time 3°15 to 3:30. There is @ myriad of evidence, direct and circumstantial, of the illegal and unconstitutional surveillance disclosed to the FBI by Montgomery. and I do not need to belabor all of it here because it is currently contained in FBI files, However, former NSA and CIA contractor Montgomery holds much of the roadmap to “draining the swamp” of this corruption of our democracy. ‘A summary of the Montgomery's efforts to expose rampant illegal and unconstitutional surveillance on American citizens and prominent individuals such as President Trump, is as follows: Montgomery left the NSA and CIA with 47 hard drives and over 600 million pages of information, much of which is classified, and sought to come forward legally as a whistleblower to appropriate government entities, including congressional intelligence committees, to expose that the spy agencies were engaged for years in systematic illegal surveillance on prominent Americans, again including the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen such as Donald Trump. and even yours tly. Working side by side with former Obama Director of National Intelligence (“DIA”) James Clapper, who lied in Congressional testimony, and former Obama Director of the CLA, the equally ethically challenged John Brennan, Montgomery witnessed "up close and personal” this “Orwellian Big Brother" intrusion on privacy, likely for potential coercion, blackmail or other nefarious purposes But when Montgomery came forward as a whistleblower to congressional intelligence committees and various other congressmen and senators, including Senator Charles Grassley ~ Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee who, like Comey, once had a reputation for integrity, he was "blown off.” No one wanted to even hear what he had to say ‘The reason I suspect is that Montgomery's allegations were either too hot to handle, or the congressional intelligence and judiciary committees already knew that this unconstitutional surveillance was being undertakenPage |3 ‘After Montgomery was tured away as a whistleblower, he came to me at Freedom Watch. With the aid of the Honorable Royce C. Lamberth of the U S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who I had come to respect and trust over the years of my public interest advocacy, we brought Montgomery forward to FBI Director James Comey, through his General Counsel James Baker. Under grants of immunity, which I obtained through Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Curtis, Montgomery produced the hard drives and later was interviewed under oath in a secure room at the FBI Field Office in the District of Columbia. It was there that Montgomery laid out how persons like then businessman Donald Trump were illegally spied upon by Clapper, Brennan, and the spy agencies of the Obama administration. He even claimed that these spy agencies had manipulated voting in Florida during the 2008 presidential election, where illegal tampering resulted in helping Obama to win the White House. Montgomery's interview with the FBI, conducted and videotaped by Special FBI Agents Walter Giardina and William Barnett, occurred almost two years ago, and nothing that I know of has happened since. It would appear that the FBI's investigation was "buried" by FBI Director Comey, perhaps. because the FBI itself collaborates with the spy agencies to conduct illegal surveillance. In landmark court cases which | filed after the revelations of Edward Snowden, the Honorable Richard Leon, a colleague of Judge Lamberth, had ruled that this type of surveillance constituted a gross violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. See www. freedomwatchusa.org. A few months ago, given the FBI's seeming inaction in conducting a bona fide timely investigation of the treasure trove of information Montgomery had produced and testified to, 1 went to Chairman Bob Goodlatte of the House Judiciary Committee, as I had done earlier with Senator Grassley, since Montgomery had revealed that judges had been spied upon, and asked his staf¥ to inquire of Director Comey the status of the investigation. I have heard nothing back from Goodlatte or his staff and they have not responded to recent calls and emails. So last Thursday, | traveled to Capitol Hill to personally meet with Chairman Devin Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee and, when his scheduler claimed that he was "unavailable," 1 forcefully pushed for a meeting with one of his committee lawyers, Allen R. Souza, and fully briefed him about Montgomery and the FBI's apparent cover-up. 1 told this staf¥ intel lawyer to inform Chairman Nunes of the facts behind this apparent cover-up before the Committee holds its hearing on the alleged Trump wiretaps and was to question Comey last Monday, March 20, in open session. My expressed purpose: to have Chairman Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee ask Comey, under oath, why he and his FBI have seemingly not moved forward with the Montgomery investigation while, on the other hand, the FBI Director recently claimed publicly, | believe falsely, that there is "no evidence” of surveillance on President Trump and those around him by the Obama administration, Indeed, there is. 50Page | 4 During my meeting with House Intelligence Committee counsel Allen R. Souza, I politely wamed him that if Chairman Nunes, who himself had that same day undercut President Trump by also claiming that there is no evidence of surveillance by the Obama administration, does not question Comey about the FBI's Montgomery investigation, 1 would go public with what would appear to be the House Intelligence Committee's complicity in keeping the truth from the American people and allowing the FBI to continue its apparent cover-up of Montgomery's revelations as a whistleblower ‘And, that is where it stands today. The big question: will the Committee do its job and hold FBI Director Comey to account about the Montgomery investigation, or will the members of this honorable Committee, like virtually every other politician in both political parties, run away from the president's and the American people's concerns? The president, his aides, and millions of other Americans have systematically had their Fourth Amendment and other constitutional rights to privacy violated. Thus far, there appears to be an on-going cover-up of the FBI's investigation of the materials and testimony provided by Montgomery which bear on matters before this Committee. Please respond to my letter by close of business March 24, 2017, in order that the American people, and Mr. Montgomery may know where you and the other members of your Committee stand, Do you intend to get at and investigate the full truth, or as has regrettably been the case for ‘many years in government, sweep the truth under the carpet?

By: Larry Klayman The old expression about Washington, D.C.,is that if you want a friend, get a dog! In the case of President Donald Trump, this is a lesson he has undoubtedly learned in his thus far short tenure as the commander in chief Nowhere is this seen more than aver the current controversy conceming the president's claims that he was wiretapped, thats, illegally spied upon, by his predecessor's administration, former President Barack Obama ‘As | have written in this Newsmax blog and elsewhere particularly of late, my client, former NSA and CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery, holds the keys to disproving the false ciaims of those representatives and senators on the House and Senate intelligence committees, reportedly as well as FBI Director James Comey, that there is no evidence that the president and his men were wiretapped, Montgomery left the NSA and CIA with 47 hard drives and over 600 milion ages of information, much of which is classified, and sought to come forward legally as a whistleblower to appropriate government entities, including congressional inteligence committees, to expose that the spy agencies were engaged for years in systematic illegal surveillance on prominent Americans, including the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen such as Donald Trump, and ‘even yours truly. Working side by side with Obama's former Director of National inteligence (DIA), James Clapper, and Obama's former Director of the CIA, John Brennan, Montgomery witnessed “up close and personal’ this, “Orwellian Big Brother’ intrusion on privacy, likely for potential coercion, blackmail or other nefarious purposes.

The reason, | suspect, is that Montgomery's allegations were either too hot to handle, or the congressional intelligence and judiciary committees already knew that this unconstitutional surveillance was being undertaken. Moreover, given the power of the NSA, CIA, and DNI, for congressional committee heads to take action to legitimately and seriously investigate and if necessary recommend prosecution of officials like Clapper and Brennan could, given the way Washington works, result in the spy agencies disclosing and leaking (as occurred recently with General Michael Flynn), the details of their mass surveillance, ruining the careers if not personal ives of any politician who ‘would take them on, ‘After Montgomery was tumed away as a whistleblower, he came to me at Freedom Watch.

Page | of 4 FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST DOJ - SECRET MEETING November 2, 2016 (Washington, DC) - The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLU), which has filed a number of federal lawsuits against the Obama Administration to obtain information through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, today filed a federal lawsuit (http://media.aclj.org/pdf/Complaint-ACLJ-v-DO\-(filed-11-2-16)_Redacted. pdf) in Washington, D.C. against the Department of Justice to unearth information about the June meeting between Attorney General Lynch and former President Clinton — just days before the Justice Department's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) cleared former Secretary of State Clinton in a criminal probe concerning her unauthorized email server. “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 (http:/aclj.org/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. 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.” The lawsuit fled today comes after the ACLJ sent (http://acl, orglexecutive-power/acl- takes-action-against-president-obamas-unethical-department-of-justice) FOIA requests to the Obama Justice Department and the FBI, demanding answers on how such a meeting was allowed to happen The FBI acknowledged the ACLW's FOIA request, and even granted our request for expedited processing by determining that we had shown our requests concerned “[a] matter of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exist possible questions about the government's integrity which affect public confidence,” The Justice Department remained silent.

CAUSE OF ACTION COUNTI lation of the Freedom of Information Act, 32. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 31 of this Complaint as fully stated herein, 33. The federal FOIA establishes a 20-day deadline by which a federal agency must make and issue a determination regarding compliance with a request for records made pursuant to the statute, 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)( 6A) 34. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § $52(a)(6)(A), Defendants were required to determine whether to comply to Plaintiff's request within twenty (20) days, excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays. Pursuant to this same provision, Defendants also were required to notify PlaintifT immediately of such determination and the reasons therefor. 35. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A), the 20-day period commenced on March 1, 2017, for Defendant ODNI. Excluding weekends, Defendant ODNI was required to make its determination and provide Plaintiff with the requisite notifications by March 29, 2017. 36. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A), the 20-day period commenced on March 1, 2017 for Defendant NSA. Excluding weekends, Defendant NSA was required to make its determination ‘and provide Plaintiff with the requisite notifications by March 29, 2017. 37. As of the date of this Complaint, Defendants have failed to notify Plaintiff of any determination, or the reasons therefor.Case 1:17-cv-00645 Document 1 Filed 04/12/17 Page 8 of 10 38. As of the date of this Complaint, Defendants have failed to produce any records responsive to Plaintiff's requests, indicate when any responsive records will be produced, or ‘demonstrate that responsive records are exempt from production. 39. Defendants have not requested information from the Plaintiff that would toll the 20-day period as contemplated by 5 U.S.C § 552(a)(6K AMD). 40. FOIA permits a federal agency. in unusual circumstances, to extend the 20-day response deadline for a period not to exceed ten (10) additional working days. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B). 41, Defendants have not asserted the existence of any “unusual circumstances.” As such, Defendants have not implicated the tolling provision set forth in 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B)(i). 42, There are no “unusual circumstances” that justify Defendants’ prolonged delay in responding to Plaintiff's lawful FOIA requests. 43. Plaintiff has a statutory right to have Defendants process Plaintiff's FOIA requests in a timely manner and in accordance with the requirements set forth in 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6). 44, Defendants are unlawfully withholding records requested by Plaintiff pursuant to S US.C. $552. 45. FOIA provides a cause of action for a complainant from whom a federal agency has withheld requested records. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(B). 46. Through their continued delay and failure to properly respond to Plaintiff's lawful request for records, and their improper withholding of such requested records, Defendants have failed to comply with FOIA’s prescribed deadlines for responding to a request for records and has violated Plaintiff's statutory rights. 69Case 1:17-cv-00645 Document 1 Filed 04/12/17 Page 9 of 10 47, Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 352(a)(6)(C), because Defendants failed to comply with the time limit set forth in 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A), Plaintiff is deemed to have exhausted any and all administrative remedies with respect to its FOIA requests, 48. Plaintiff is being ireparably harmed by reason of Defendants’ unlawful withholding of requested records, and Plaintiff will continue to be irreparably harmed unless Defendants are compelled to conform their conduct to the requirements of the law. PRAYER FOR RELIEF 49. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court enter judgment against Defendants NSA and ODNI, and provide Plaintiff with the following relief: (@) An Order that Defendants issue a determination and that Defendants shall conduct a diligent search for any and all records responsive to Plaintiff's FOIA request and demonstrate that they employed reasonable search methods most technologically likely to lead to the discovery of records responsive to Plaintiff's, POIA request, selected from among those methods available to Defendants; (b) An Order that Defendants produce, by a date certain, any and all non-exempt records responsive to Plaintiff's FOIA requests and a Vaughn index of any responsive records withheld under claim of exemption: (©) An Order enjoining Defendants from continuing to withhold any and all non- exempt records responsive to PlaintifY’s FOIA requests: (d) A declaratory judgment that Defendants’ actions violated Plaintiff's statutory rights under 5 U.S.C. § 5 (©) An Order awarding to Plaintiff its reasonable attorneys” fees and other litigation costs reasonably incurred in this action pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(E); and, (An Order granting to Plaintiff all further relief to which Plaintiff may be entitled.Case 1:17-cv-00645 Document 1 Filed 04/12/17 Page 10 of 10 Dated: April 12, 2017 Respectfully submitted, ‘THE AMERICAN CENTER POR LAW AND JUSTICE is!

Page 1 of 3 Comey FBI Lied, Media Collusion and Illegality ‘By Jordan Sekulow ( tersfjordan-sekulow) August 3,2017 We have just obtained hundreds of pages (http://media.aclj.orgipdf/Clinton-Lynch- Documents-1.pdf in our ongoing investigation and federal lawsuit (https://acl, orglexecutive-power/acljs-files-lawsuit-over-ag-lynchs-secret-meeting-with- bill-clinton-will-hold-obamas-iustice-department-accountable) on former Attorney General Loretta Lynch's tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton while the Department of Justice (004) and FBI had an ongoing criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails. The results are shocking. First, the Comey FBI lied to us. Last July, we sent FOIA requests to both the Comey FBI and the Lynch DOJ (https://aclj.org/executive-power/acjj-takes-action-against- president-obamas-unethical-department-of-justice) asking for any documents related to the Clinton Lynch plane meeting. The FBI, under the then directorship of James Comey, replied (http://media.aclj.org/pdt/FBl-Letter-%28no-records-located%29- 10.21.16_Redacted. pdf) that “No records responsive to your request were located.” The documents we received today from the Department of Justice include several emails from the FBI to DO\ officials concerning the meeting. One with the subject line “FLAG” (http://media acl. org/paf/Clinton-Lynch-Flag.pdf) was correspondence between FBI officials (Richard Quinn, FBI Media/Investigative Publicity, and Michael Kortan) and DOJ officials concerning “flagfing] a story... about a casual, unscheduled meeting between former president Bill Clinton and the AG." The DOJ official instructs the FBI to “let me know if you get any questions about this’ and provides ‘[olur talkers [DOV talking points] on this”. The talking points, however are redacted Another email (http://media.aclj.org/pdf/FBI-Security-Lynch-Clinton. pdf) to the FBI contains the subject line “security details coordinate between Loretta Lynch/Bill Clinton?” On July 1, 2016 — just days before our FOIA request ~ a DOJ email chain under the subject line, “FBI just called,” (http://media.aclj.org/pdfClinton-Lynch-FBI-Just- Called.pdf) indicates that the “FBI. . . is looking for guidance" in responding to media nn inquiries about news reports that the FBI had prevented the press from taking pictures https://aclj.org/government-corruption/doj-document-dump-to-aclj-on-clinton-lynch-meetin... 8/6/2017DOJ Document Dump to ACLJ on Clinton Lynch Meeting: Comey FBI Lied, Media Coll... Page 2 of 3 of the Clinton Lynch meeting. The discussion then went off email to several phone calls (of which we are not able to obtain records). An hour later, Carolyn Pokomy of the Office of the Attorney General stated, “I will let Rybicki know.” Jim Rybicki was the Chief of Staff and Senior Counselor to FBI Director Jim Comey. The information that was to be provided to Rybicki is redacted. Also of note several of the documents contain redactions that are requested “per FBI.” itis clear that there were multiple records within the FBI responsive to our request and that discussions regarding the surreptitious meeting between then AG Lynch and the husband of the subject of an ongoing FBI criminal investigation reached the highest levels of the FBI However, on October 21, 2016, the Comey FBI replied to our legal demands that ‘No records responsive to your request were located.” This is in direct contravention to the law, and we are preparing further legal action to force the FBI to come clean and turn over ALL documents related to this matter to us in a timely manner. ‘Second, the hundreds of pages of (heavily redacted — more on that below) documents paint a clear picture of a DOJ in crisis mode as the news broke of Attorney General Lynch's meeting with former President Clinton. In fact, the records appear to indicate that the Attorney General's spin team immediately began preparing talking points for the Attorney General regarding the meeting BEFORE ever speaking with the AG about the matter. Third, there is clear evidence that the main stream media was colluding with the DOJ to bury the story. A Washington Post reporter, speaking of the Clinton Lynch meeting story, said (http://media.aclj.org/pdf/Clinton-Lynch-WaPo. pdf), “I'm hoping | can put it to rest.” The same Washington Post reporter, interacting with the DOJ spin team, implemented specific DOJ requests to change his story to make the Attorney General appear in a more favorable light. A New York Times reporter apologetically told (http://media.aclj.org/pdfiClinton-Lynch-NYT-1 pdf) the Obama DOs that he was being “pressed into service” to have to cover the story. As the story was breaking, DOJ press officials stated (http://media. acl, org/pdtClinton-Lynch-ABC. pdf), “I also talked to the ABC producer, who noted that they aren't interested, even if Fox runs with it.” ‘Two days after the meeting, DOJ officials in a chain of emails (http://media.aclj.org/pdf/Clinton-Lynch-Media-collusion pdf) that includes emails to Attorney General Lynch herself stated that the media coverage of the meeting “looks like all or most are FOX” and that “CBS . . . just says a few lines about the meeting.” 73 https://aclj.org/government-corruption/doj-document-dump-to-aclj-on-clinton-lynch-meetin...._ 8/6/2017DOJ Document Dump to ACLJ on Clinton Lynch Meeting: Comey FBI Lied, Media Coll... Page 3 of 3 Fourth, DOJ bureaucrats have redacted all the talking points, discussions of talking points, a statement on the meeting that was apparently never delivered because there was not enough media coverage on the meeting, and its substantive discussions with the FBI on the matter. They absurdly claim the “deliberative process exemption” to FOIA, which is only supposed to apply to agency rulemaking processes. Discussions about Attorney General Lynch’s ethically questionable meeting with former President Clinton during her investigation into Hillary Clinton clearly has nothing to do with any rule making process.

A private meeting on a private plane. Talking about former President Bil Cliton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch meeting on the ground private plane in phoenix airport. The meeting was vesterday. Just howrs before the release of the ‘Benghazi reported and the local Phoenix ABC station got a tip that the meeting was going to happen. After the meeting at a news conference, attomey general lmch confirmed the meeting with the president had taken place ATTORNEY GENERAL LORETTA LYNCH.

Our conversation was a United States deal about his grandchildren there 1was no discussion about any matter pending before the department or any matter pending before any no discussion of Benghazi or State Department «mals by way of example VAN SUSTEREN: Radio host and editor and chief of Lifezette Laura Ingraham goes “on the record LAURA INGRAHAM.

Everyone always said how can he be this stupid and we learn more on this secret service agent's book of how stupid he was and how just blatant he was about not just appearance of impropriety but actual impropriety. People walking in on hin wshen he was with other people. [don't know why any of us are surprised. There is a brazen effort to undermine sorry U.S. law and at the very east the appearance of impropriety and ethical considerations ‘which you and I know as lawyers people take very seriously VAN SUSTEREN: We have got the head of the investigation and the spouse of the person who something investigated. she is being investigated I don't know did she isthe target Meeting on a private plane for 30 minutes. INGRAHAM. The appearance of a confit can be just as damaging and poisonous to a case at times as a confict itself An actual confit That's why you avoid siuations ike this. The last thing they need is any further undermining ofthe objecthity ofthis investigation which of course called a security review unt she was corrected by the FBI director. I don't know what they are talking about security reviews. this is an actual investigation. the appearance of a confict of interest ‘of Inch now, | think there is no doubt about it VAN SUSTEREN: What do you think Obama is thinking tonight finding out tha his chief lawyer did this and what do you think Secretary Hillary Clinton is thinking about the fact that her husband met with her and this is. INGRAHAM. Depends on if she asked him to talk to her I mean, who knows. VAN SUSTEREN: I can't believe she would be that stupid. honest INGRAHAM: How would you be stupid enough to find out no one was going to find out about a private email server at atime where when your family foundation was soliciting donations from foreign governments. Thatis lke the definition of stupid. vet, she did that VAN SUSTEREN: It’s amazing to me. It's though they are giving thir politcal opponents ‘ammunition every singe dav INGRAHAM. Every single day we find out about emails held back or other witnesses taking the fifth. Again. it just adds to the public's lack of belief and good faith in this investigation And today was just another instance of it being chipped away again and again it's aot surprising given the Clintons and their brazen behavior JOSH EARNEST. The president when discussing this issue in each stage has reiterated his a¢ Document ID: 0.7.9269.5042‘commitment to this principle that any criminal investigation should be conducted independent ot any sort of political interference and that people should be treated the same way before the law regardless oftheir political infience Regardless of ther political party. regardless of their politcal stature and regardless of what politcal figure has endorsed them INGRAHAM. Think of the power of the former President of the United States ina private ‘meeting with anybody And he is a big deal figure And who knows what was said, Greta Maybe nothing Maybe it was all about baby clothes VAN SUSTEREN: It doestit even matter what was said That's the thing. It could be totally innocent.

TED WILLIAMS. Let me say my ffiend, Laura Ingraham is too nice in regards to what she has had to say. I think the Attorney General has compromised the integrity of any independent decision that she could make in this investization. Greta, I don't care how private or grandmotherly it was. It's the appearance. Hilary Clinton is under investzation by the FBI Loretta Lynch is in the position where she is going to have to at some stage make a decision one way or another concering the prosecution of Hillary Clinton, And to meet withthe president’ ‘with the potential candidate's husband under this circumstance she needs to recuse herself and I guarantee you the drums are going to beat lookout for her to do so VAN SUSTEREN Katie? KATIE PHANG You have to avoid the appearance of impropriety as an attorney and especially as the Attorney General of the United States How much mote important would it be for her to avoid this” She is ultimately the decision maker as to whether or not Hilary Clinton is going to be prosecuted for what happens with the Benghazi scandal Hilary has said she is just lke -- do vou realy think just before the Benghazi report comes out they only talked about grandchildren and got” Think about this, vs. They are having this private meeting they don't disclose it to ansbody If you had nothing to hide Why not let people know from the very beginning that you met and that you talked about nothing at all VAN SUSTEREN.

And this is what is going to hurt this whole thing She needs to recuse hersell VAN SUSTEREN: Actually the thing is we are ging them the benefit ofthe doubt that was an ‘innocent discussion. We haven't even got tonight fact that some people -- a lot are suspicions that this wasn't just an appearance of impropriety issue that there is something going down on this. But wwe are giving them the benefit of the doubt and absolutely al scandalized by. This I'm stuck on the fact that Ted just said that she was in bed with Bill Clinton Putting a side, even giving it the benefit ofthe doubt, maybe Loretta Lynch -- actually | take back the mavbe. She has got to remove hese ffom this case and let somebody else decide Why allow any question into the objectivity of the ultimate investigation’s results. You should never do that especially at this high level. It's a bad idea VAN SUSTEREN Its not a close question to me_ she should get off this case is ita close question or vou, Katie? PHANG Not at all get off the case. WILLIAMS: Clearly not a close question for me She has to get off the case because, trust me, you are going to heart drums beat and see Donald Trump with something on this right away 1 mean, VAN SUSTEREN I'm surprised we haven't heard it aiready the emails.

ATTORNEY GENERAL LYNCH: Well, did see the President at the Phoenix Airport the other night as was landing, he was headed out. He did come over and say hello, and speak to my husband and myself, and talk about his grandchildren and his travels, and things like that. And so that was the extent of that. And no discussions were held into any cases or things like that. And he didn’t raise anything ~ uh ~ about that. REPORTER: You don't believe that gives off the appearance of any impropriety while your agency is investigating his wife. ATTORNEY GENERAL LYNCH: My agency is involved in a matter looking at State Department policies and issues. It's being handled by career investigators and career agents, who always follow facts and the law, and do the same thorough and independent examination in this matter that they've dane in all. So that's how that'll be handled 92 Document ID: 0.7 9289.6559Hi Melanie, I'm a White House correspondent at the NYT, and I've been pressed into service to write about the questions being raised by the Attorney General's meeting with Bill Clinton. Could you let me know what Do} and the AG have said specifically about this meeting, and whether she believes it constitutes a conflict investigation?
