Republican Donald Trump is accusing Hillary Clinton of bribing Attorney General Loretta Lynch following a report that said Clinton would consider keeping Lynch if she's elected president.
"It's a bribe!" Trump declared at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, Tuesday, hours after the FBI said it wouldn't recommend charges against Clinton over her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
Trump was referring to a story in The New York Times that quoted "Democrats close to" Clinton saying she may decide to rehire Lynch.
Trump says Lynch may have believed that, if she let Clinton off the hook, she'd have four more years on the job.
"It's a disgrace," said Trump. "It's a disgrace!"

(3,335 posts)disgusting. He claimed to have watched Comie's report earlier in the day, and he said that, he quote, "wrote a few things down." He then proceeded to tell a bunch of lies that Comie never said. He claimed that Comie said that she was guilty even if she was too stupid to know that what she was doing was wrong. Comie never said that. Comie stated that an individual's "Intent" was paramount in determining whether or not a criminal charge could be made. And while Clinton and her aids may have been careless or lax in their handling of classified documents, he didn't find any evidence that they were purposely careless and intentionally displayed a wreckless disregard for proper handling of classified information.
He also said that Comie said that she purposely destroyed 30,000 email documents. Comie actually said that there was no proof that she or any of her staff purposely destroyed any documents to conceal their actions. He also said that Hillary's attorneys went through her emails and sorted them between personal and work emails, and that they had interviewed the attorneys and had no problem with the methodology in which they used to conduct their sorting of emails.
If Trump is talking than he is more likely than not, is lying. The man cannot help himself. He lies about anything and everything.
