Loretta Lynch’s Secret Docket
There are allegations her U.S. Attorney’s Office is keeping cases quiet. (http://www.nationalreview.com/article/396640/loretta-lynchs-secret-docket-ryan-lovelace)
Cassell, the former federal judge, tells NRO that he spoke out because he had the sense that the people involved — the prosecutors and the judge in Sater’s case — thought it was outrageous for the victims to expect that they would actually get their money back. “This case has what I would call a ‘business as usual’ feel to it, which leads me to think this is not a one-off, idiosyncratic kind of thing,” Cassell says. “It clearly looks like there’s the potential for this to be going on in a lot of other cases, and the problem of course is that since these cases are sealed, there’s no way for the victims to find out what’s happening, there’s no way for Congress to monitor how often this is being used.”

And Lynch’s questionable actions appear consistent with the playbook of Holder’s Justice Department, according to former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell. Powell sees disturbing parallels between Holder’s mishandling of the Fast and Furious scandal — in which the DOJ’s indifference allowed American guns to end up as weapons used by drug cartels against American citizens — and the conduct of Lynch’s office in looking the other way while cooperating criminals harmed more unsuspecting and innocent people. And even as she tells NRO that more information is needed about Lynch’s actions, Powell suspects that there are a lot of other cases involved.
“If they have literally been licensing people to go back on the street and commit additional crimes, she certainly should not be attorney general; she shouldn’t even be U.S. attorney,” Powell says. “That practice needs to be stopped.”
