Loretta Lynch is in hot water.
She’s now the target of an investigation into obstruction of justice.
And a judge revealed the shocking prison sentence she’s looking at.
Lynch’s wrongdoing was exposed when former FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress.
He went public with his findings into the Clinton email probe after the FBI came into possession of an email obtained by Russians hackers from a Democrat operative who said Lynch wouldn’t allow the Clinton investigation to get out of hand.
Sources leaked stories to the press claiming the email was faked, but that was shot down.
But it raises a question: Does a paper trail exist that would prove Lynch had given assurances about the outcome of the investigation?
Appearing on Fox News, Judge Andrew Napolitano revealed the depths of the legal jeopardy Lynch faces.
He said:
“It is alleged, this document has not seen the light of day if it exists, that there are one or several emails between Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Loretta Lynch concerning the behavior that Loretta Lynch will take to further the DNC interests while Mrs. Lynch was attorney general,” Napolitano stated. “That, if it happened, would be ‘misconduct in office.’”
“It’s a felony. Depending upon exactly what they charged her with, it could be five or 10 years in jail. It’s very serious. It’s the equivalent of obstruction of justice. It’s the same allegation they are making about the president.”

Lynch is in all sorts of trouble.
In addition to misconduct in office, she faces possible obstruction of justice charges.
Former Director Comey testified that Lynch ordered him to call the Clinton email investigation a “matter”.
This was an instruction to lie.
The Clinton campaign had also been calling the investigation a “matter” – so Lynch was ordering the FBI Director to use their campaign talking points to downplay the seriousness of what Clinton was facing.
And then there was her famous tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton.
They both claimed they discussed their grandkids.
But few bought that story.
Did Lynch give Clinton a heads up that she had things under control?
The entire affair has been shrouded in mystery.
