Or this might make sense.....  Undecided

"I did not," Lynch responded when asked if she had ever told Comey to call the investigation a "matter."

"I have never instructed a witness as to what to say specifically. Never have, never will," Lynch continued.
"In the meeting that I had with the Director, we were discussing how best to keep Congress informed of progress and discuss requesting resources for the Department overall. We were going to testify separately.

And the concern that both of us had in the meeting that I was having with him in September of 2015 was how to have that discussion without stepping across the Department policy of confirming or denying an investigation, separate policy from testifying.

"Obviously, we wanted to testify fully, fulsomely, and provide the information that was needed, but we were not at that point, in September of 2015, ready to confirm that there was an investigation into the email matter -- or deny it," Lynch added.

"We were sticking with policy, and that was my position on that. I didn't direct anyone to use specific phraseology.

When the Director asked me how to best to handle that, I said: What I have been saying is we have received a referral and we are working on the matter, working on the issue, or we have all the resources we need to handle the matter, handle the issue. So that was the suggestion that I made to him."

Pressed for her reaction to Comey's statements, Lynch said they had come as a shock.

"I was quite surprised that he characterized it in that way," Lynch said.

"We did have a conversation about it, so I wasn't surprised that he remembered that we met about it and talked about it. But I was quite surprised that that was his characterization of it, because that was not how it was conveyed to him, certainly not how it was intended."

House Oversight Commitee ranking member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio -- then the panel's chairman -- interjected.

"Excuse me. Ms. Lynch, so in the meeting with the FBI Director you referred to the Clinton investigation as a matter -- I just want to make sure I understand -- but you did not instruct the Director when he testified in front of Congress to call it a matter. Is that accurate?" Jordan asked.

"I said that I had been referring to -- I had been using the phraseology," Lynch responded.

"We've received a referral. Because we received a public referral, which we were confirming. And that is Department policy, that when we receive a public referral from any agency, that we confirm the referral but we neither confirm nor deny the investigation. That's actually a standard DOJ policy.

"So in the meeting with the Director, which was, again, around September -- I don't recall the date -- of 2015, it was very early in the investigation, I expressed the view that it was, in my opinion, too early for us to confirm that we had an investigation," Lynch said.

" At some point in the course of investigations, as you all know from your oversight, it becomes such common knowledge that we talk about it using the language of investigation and things, but at that point we had not done that and we were not confirming or denying it. We weren't denying it at all.

There was, just essentially, in my view, we were following the policy.

And when the Director asked me about my thoughts, I said, yes, we had to be -- we had to be completely cooperative and fulsome with Congress for both of us, and that we needed to provide as much information as we could on the issue of resources."


Spying is not spying, its just phraseology, ya know, just spying, to see if you should be officially...spying  Huh

And ya know, we is just investigating, to confirm nor deny, the investigation, just more phraseology, to be, investigated....  Huh Huh Huh

Poop.....maybe we should just go back to what IS.....is?

“… in my view, we were following the policy….”

A-Yep !
Just think if a,  Knuckle Dragging, Deplorable, Conservative, has said those words.

A UL, FDS, Socialist,  would be all over them.
