“She’s an honorable person. We know that,” Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), expected to be the next Senate Democratic leader, told reporters on Thursday. “She has said nothing was discussed related to the investigation so you have two choices: To say this didn’t matter or she’s lying. I think it didn’t matter. I don’t think she’s lying.”
I don’t consider Chuckie Schumer to be an adequate character witness.
“All I can say is Loretta Lynch is one of the most outstanding human beings I’ve ever known,” Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said.
Considering with whom Harry Reid tends to associate, that’s not even a low bar, it’s barely a line painted on the ground.
“There was no discussion on any matter pending before the Department or any matter pending with any other body, there was no discussion of Benghazi, no discussion of State Department emails,” she told reporters.
And if you believe that one, she’ll tell you another one. What’s next? Asking us to believe Bill Clinton?
