| Loretta Lynch Meeting With Bill Clinton Sparked FBI Mole Hunt |
|
(The Daily Caller) A meeting last year between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton triggered a hunt within the FBI for a source who talked to a reporter about the controversial encounter, newly released government emails show.
The emails, released by the watchdog group Judicial Watch, show that FBI agents in the bureau’s security division were miffed about an article that appeared in the New York Observer detailing the logistics of how Lynch and Clinton came to meet on the tarmac at Phoenix’s airport on June 27, 2016.
The FBI had initially told Judicial Watch that it did not have documents related to the Lynch-Clinton meeting.

| Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting report triggered FBI hunt for leaker, new emails show |
|
(Fox News) The revelation last year of an unorthodox tarmac meeting between former President Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch set off a frenzied scramble at the FBI to track down the source, newly released documents show.
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, which on Thursday released 29 pages of FBI emails related to the 2016 meeting, said the messages show officials were more concerned about the leak than the substance of the report.
“These new FBI documents show the FBI was more concerned about a whistleblower who told the truth about the infamous Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting than the scandalous meeting itself,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.

| House conservatives demand answers from FBI on Clinton probe, Fusion GPS |
|
(Washington Post) A trio of House conservatives, who have succeeded in getting the Judiciary Committee to keep questioning the FBI’s 2015-2016 probe of Hillary Clinton’s private email server, have sent a letter to the bureau asking for more answers before Director Christopher A. Wray next testifies. The letter grew out of emails from October 2016, first released this month after requests by the conservative group Judicial Watch, in which FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe said that the email probe was “referred to as ‘special,’” which limited his access to it. That email grew out of yet another round of Clinton questions — a controversy, in the weeks before the election, about whether McCabe should have recused himself because Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-Va.), a Clinton ally, helped McCabe’s wife raise money for a state senate race.

| Judicial Watch says Trump should fire Mueller |
|
(The Daily Caller) The president of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch thinks President Trump should shut down special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation after former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s guilty plea.
“Sally Yates, Andrew McCabe, and James Comey improperly targeted General Flynn. And Mueller got him. Deep State victory. [Donald Trump] should consider a pardon,” Fitton tweeted Friday. “The Mueller special counsel continues to be unconstitutional and out of control. Shut it down.”
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding his phone calls with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. Flynn is now the fourth former Trump campaign official to have faced charges due to the special counsel’s probe into alleged Russian election interference.
Trump could dismiss Mueller, which the White House says he has no intention of doing.
