I suspect many Demorats may believe so today, after she said this on Sunday.
Let us not forget that Senator Feinstein (Leftist central, as Fornicalia’s second senator is none other than the next Demorat nominee for president in 2020, Kamala Harris) is the highest ranking Demorat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
She essentially called, publicly, for an open investigation into the manner in which Obama’s last Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, handled the Hillary Clinton email inquiry in re Lynch’s directive to former FBI Director James Comey.
Comey clearly outs himself that he willingly chose to step “into the tank” with Lynch, Obama and the Demorats.

Top Democrat calls for investigation of Loretta Lynch’s Clinton probe
by Marisa Schultz
WASHINGTON – The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee called Sunday for a congressional investigation into former Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said she’s concerned by former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony Thursday that Lynch asked him to downplay his “investigation” into the Democratic presidential nominee as merely a “matter.”
Comey said the political request called into the question the credibility of Lynch’s Department of Justice and made him “queasy.”
“I would have a queasy feeling too,” Feinstein admitted Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I think we need to know more about that. And there’s only one way to know about it and that’s to have the Judiciary Committee take a look at that.”
The “queasy” feeling only occurred when Comey realized he’d likely be later called onto the public carpet, which he was.
Lynch, a President Obama nominee, ultimately had to distance herself from the FBI probe after meeting with former President Bill Clinton on a tarmac in Phoenix during the height of the election campaign and email investigation.
Lynch said the meeting was impromptu and they didn’t discuss Clinton’s private email server, but the appearance of impropriety forced her to back off and for Comey to become the public face of the probe.
Asked whether Lynch provided improper political cover for Clinton, Feinstein said: “I can’t answer that,” but a “separate investigation” is worthwhile to find out.
Ultimate Translation from DemSpeak to common English: Feinstein realizes she’d best get out ahead on this one as it’s sufficiently dirty to potentially sully even her skirts.
Ah, nothing like a little political Demorat arse-covering, eh wot?

You’re right…comey admitted he complied with his “instructions”. He justified this by saying that when lynch instructed him to call it a matter, he stated that he agreed as he didn’t want to argue with her, or, as he put it, a “hill not worth dying on”. WTF?! You sir are the HEAD of the FBI. He knew it was a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION against hiLIARy, and he had every damn right to call it that, but he chose to do as he was told. What? is he a 6-year old boy and lynch is his mother telling him to eat his vegetables?
It was comey refusing to call this a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION that gave hiLIARY the arrogant ability to say that she was not the target of any investigation. Imagine how many fewer votes she would have gotten…and how many more Trump would have, if the actual and true language was used…and the world was told that hiLARY was under CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION by the god damned FB frickiing I. The FBI does not do security reviews…that is what oversight committees do. The FBI goes after criminals….which is what hiLIARy is. And comey admitted he was their do-boy.
I hope a truckload of shit rains down on these assholes. That everyone who all thought so arrogantly that they could put one over on We The People.
A lot of very political dems put themselves out there and pretty much rubbed it in our faces, under the secure knowledge that hiLIARy was the next president, and all of this would go away, everyone who participated would get their payout, and We The People would be that much closer to a dictatorship. Queen hiLIARy would rule the world, and like obama, no one would be able to stop her. Anyone who so much as mentioned benghazi, emails, hiLIARy’s health, would be put away, never to see the light of day ever again. They had their kingdom all planned out, and the spoils of war all divied up. But they didn’t count on Trump winning.
Now, it’s every democrat for themselves. And comey may be on bill and hiLIARy’s christmas card list. I hope comey doesn’t get on any malfunctioning airplanes, wanders into a crime-ridden neighborhood, develops a drug habit that results in an overdoes, or a severe bout of depression and shoots himself in the head….twice.
ABSOLUTELY.

Comey admitted, under oath, that he provided information to a confident so that confident could “leak” the information. He provided this information while he was the head of the FBI. Excuse me, isn’t that a felony?
What times we live in! The Chief Law Enforcement officer of the United States of America bragging about committing a felony.
