Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said Friday that she would accept recommendations from career prosecutors and FBI agents leading the probe into the use of a private email server by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state — though she stopped short of fully removing herself or other political appointees from the case.
The announcement from Lynch was a clear attempt to quiet mounting criticism that she — as the head of the Justice Department in a Democratic administration — cannot be trusted to oversee the probe of the presumptive Democratic nominee for president. While she did not promise a full recusal — saying that "would mean I wouldn't even be briefed on what the findings were" — she seemed to confirm that she would not veto whatever was proposed to her by those investigating the case.
