Loretta Lynch literally communicated directly with the defendant of a case. You can brush off their conversation all you'd like, but it's in direct violation of the law.

On Comey: "Because those emails appear to be pertinent to our investigation, I agreed that we should take appropriate steps to obtain and review them."

Later, he made it abundantly clear in his letter exactly what the intent of it was while also explaining that in no way should it be a misleading representation, but its been taken out of context on the both the right and the left. Of course.

"Of course, we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record. At the same time, however, given that we don’t know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, I don’t want to create a misleading impression. In trying to strike that balance, in a brief letter and in the middle of an election season, there is significant risk of being misunderstood, but I wanted you to hear directly from me about it."
