Cornyn on Hillary Emails: AG Lynch 'Has Conflict of Interest,' 'Needs to Appoint Independent Special Counsel'

In an appearance on Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable” radio show on AM 970 in New York City, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) made the argument to host John Catsimatidis that a special counsel is needed to investigate any possible wrongdoing involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for setting up her personal email while serving as the nation’s top diplomat.

“The attorney general has a conflict of interest and needs to appoint an independent special counsel,” Cornyn said of Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

“The Clintons decided the rules that apply to you and me don’t apply to them, and frankly they’ve been able to get away with it a long time and maybe they thought they’d be able to do it one more time here,” he added. “Almost every story Hillary has told about her private email server has proven to be untrue.”
